of_o wicked_a angel_n and_o man_n we_o believe_v further_o that_o god_n have_v adjudge_v the_o fall_v angel_n to_o everlasting_a fire_n without_o any_o grace_n or_o mercy_n to_o terrify_v we_o thereby_o that_o we_o make_v not_o a_o jest_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n we_o believe_v further_o that_o god_n have_v indeed_o just_a cause_n and_o power_n also_o to_o push_v down_o
