work_n do_v with_o the_o whole_a choir_n of_o angel_n sing_v a_o triumphant_a song_n over_o the_o spoil_n of_o repulse_a hell_n of_o which_o himself_o bear_v witness_v in_o the_o book_n of_o job_n

though_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o predominant_a part_n of_o his_o composition_n he_o he_o call_v earth_n of_o earth_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o element_n
