he_o declare_v himself_o and_o lest_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v enough_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n

we_o behold_v our_o lord_n cast_v out_o devil_n do_v it_o not_o assure_v we_o that_o he_o have_v power_n over_o the_o dark_a kingdom_n and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v submit_v to_o his_o gracious_a
