all_o which_o thing_n the_o devil_n be_v as_o proud_a as_o lucifer_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n brook_v as_o be_v do_v in_o derision_n and_o contempt_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v force_v to_o

that_o whoever_o they_o be_v that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o see_v the_o devil_n look_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o have_v steal_v a_o pudding_n must_v go_v this_o way_n to_o work_v the_o four_o document_n in_o the_o four_o place_n it_o behoove_v a_o exorcist_n not_o to_o ask_v the_o devil_n any_o impertinent_a question_n you_o may_v ask_v he_o his_o name_n and_o how_o many_o there_o be_v abroad_o of_o

why_o then_o the_o exorcist_n be_v a_o fool_n to_o ask_v he_o but_o the_o exorcist_n know_v better_a thing_n by_o his_o own_o experience_n for_o if_o the_o devil_n refuse_v to_o answer_v the_o
