they_o answ_n satan_n indeed_o by_o his_o messenger_n dare_v not_o admonish_v dehort_v or_o reprehend_v great_a one_o because_o it_o will_v hinder_v the_o build_n up_o of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o turn_v soul_n away_o from_o he_o therefore_o do_v he_o by_o his_o messenger_n sooth_n and_o flatter_v they_o as_o he_o do_v ahab_n jezabell_n jeroboam_fw-la and_o such_o like_a false_a prophet_n

liberty_n and_o plenty_n all_o shall_v be_v well_o but_o contrary_o the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n dare_v admonish_v dehort_v and_o reprove_v all_o man_n live_v in_o the_o world_n by_o his_o messenger_n it_o be_v not_o they_o but_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o own_o word_n that_o admonish_v and_o reprove_v and_o who_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o resist_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o who_o presence_n the_o great_a potentate_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n say_v solomon_n be_v as_o the_o roar_n of_o a_o lion_n much_o more_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o torment_v not_o only_o the_o body_n but_o cast_v body_n and_o soul_n into_o hell_n fire_n again_o where_o it_o be_v object_v that_o they_o have_v understanding_n
