thou_o the_o agreement_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n with_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o whereas_o in_o read_v thou_o shall_v see_v this_o mark_n *_o at_o the_o beginning_n of_o any_o sentence_n

this_o my_o do_v to_o be_v altogether_o needless_a in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v but_o busy_v myself_o with_o that_o which_o my_o better_n have_v both_o learned_o teach_v and_o write_v the_o which_o notwithstanding_o we_o still_o continue_v in_o our_o security_n and_o carelessness_n think_v in_o our_o prosperity_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v cast_v down_o put_v far_o from_o we_o the_o

neither_o gentle_a reader_n let_v this_o work_n seem_v to_o thou_o superfluous_a because_o some_o learned_a have_v entreat_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n before_o we_o see_v by_o lamentable_a
