they_o do_v say_v in_o word_n that_o god_n will_n must_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o in_o work_n they_o do_v utter_o deny_v it_o for_o they_o dethrone_v the_o almighty_a who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v and_o the_o proud_a persecuter_n do_v mount_v god_n throne_n here_o on_o earth_n namely_o the_o soul_n and_o

now_o a_o persecuter_n can_v say_v this_o hearty_o and_o sincere_o because_o that_o instead_o of_o pray_v to_o god_n he_o do_v imprecate_v the_o forest_n of_o judgement_n upon_o himself_o for_o he_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o their_o trespass_n against_o we_o and_o the_o persecuter_n do_v not_o nor_o yet_o do_v not_o forgive_v the_o dissenter_n though_o but_o
