of_o man_n that_o they_o adore_v worship_n and_o serve_v he_o he_o expect_v it_o as_o a_o homage_n from_o they_o and_o will_v not_o loose_v his_o glory_n such_o atheist_n be_v accurse_v by_o he_o as_o cast_v off_o all_o religion_n &_o live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o though_o some_o such_o atheist_n have_v be_v find_v who_o in_o their_o prosperity_n forget_v god_n whilst_o they_o
