his_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n as_o if_o god_n do_v not_o love_v his_o own_o butifull_a image_n his_o own_o son_n and_o nature_n but_o will_v willing_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v choke_v and_o smother_v here_o in_o the_o world_n by_o those_o fiend_n of_o darkness_n who_o he_o have_v long_o since_o lock_v and_o fetter_v up_o in_o chain_n of_o darkness_n and_o reserve_v for_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n say_v the_o philosopher_n no_o man_n set_v up_o a_o mark_n on_o purpose_n that_o man_n may_v miss_v it_o and_o shall_v god_n set_v up_o this_o mark_n of_o righteousness_n in_o

as_o if_o we_o can_v thereby_o merit_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o we_o can_v merit_v no_o thing_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o god_n himself_o can_v bestow_v
