Android Метод Gradle DSL не найден: 'exclude ()'

Question

Я пытаюсь импортировать библиотеку docx4j (https://github.com/plutext/Docx4j4Android4) из файла JAR, исключая дублирующиеся классы из org.apache.commons.lang3.* и org.slf4j.*. Однако, когда я запускаю свой код, я получаю следующую ошибку:

Метод Gradle DSL не найден: 'exclude ()'

Ниже мой файл gradle (ошибка конкретно происходит в последний раз implementation):
