this_o kingdom_n may_v come_v among_o wicked_a man_n be_v to_o pray_v that_o the_o interest_n power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n satan_n and_o antichrist_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v destroy_v for_o in_o this_o petition_n we_o do_v acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v by_o nature_n subject_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v that_o this_o iron-yoke_n
