the_o hole_n city_n to_o mitigate_v the_o lord_n so_o serve_v darius_n geve_v in_o the_o power_n of_o daniel_n the_o idol_n to_o be_v break_v and_o his_o enemy_n to_o be_v cast_v to_o the_o lion_n

do_v reign_v impiety_n can_v not_o be_v bridle_v by_o law_n but_o rather_o be_v tyranny_n exercise_v under_o the_o title_n of_o the_o same_o understand_v so_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n without_o all_o
