to_o seduce_v and_o entice_v man_n unto_o sin_n a_o other_o to_o manage_v the_o affair_n of_o kingdom_n this_o prince_n of_o persia_n hinder_v the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o return_n of_o the_o people_n this_o satan_n have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v otherwise_o then_o by_o his_o minister_n and_o instrument_n so_o then_o the_o evil_a spirit_n be_v the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o
