singer_n hell_n darkness_n do_v as_o well_o contribute_v to_o god_n glory_n as_o heaven_n eternal_a splendour_n as_o shadow_n judicious_o place_v do_v no_o less_o praise_v the_o painter_n than_o do_v the_o lively_a and_o bright_a colour_n and_o as_o when_o the_o earth_n do_v send_v black_a noisome_a and_o sulphureous_a exhalation_n up_o towards_o the_o sky_n alas_o they_o reach_v not_o heaven_n

wicked_a may_v wrong_v god_n indeed_o yet_o do_v they_o real_o harm_v but_o themselves_o by_o all_o their_o great_a sin_n which_o trouble_v he_o chief_o but_o because_o they_o necessitate_v he_o to_o punish_v they_o for_o the_o transgression_n that_o do_v most_o provoke_v god_n do_v he_o not_o the_o least_o harm_n a_o impious_a person_n may_v as_o elihu_n late_o inform_v we_o hurt_v a_o man_n as_o
