seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries;

even that same liar who beguiled our first parents,

yea, even that same liar

who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning;

who hath hardened the hearts of men

that they have murdered the prophets,

and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
