will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_n the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o history_n that_o these_o

they_o to_o worship_n the_o image_n this_o place_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o first_o this_o answer_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v that_o when_o man_n be_v about_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o deny_v

do_v daniel_n here_o praise_n god_n with_o most_o vehement_a affection_n give_v unto_o he_o only_o the_o praise_n of_o power_n and_o of_o wisdom_n and_o so_o separate_v he_o from_o all_o false_a god_n
