else_o will_v follow_v than_o what_o the_o doctor_n do_v conclude_v even_o what_o the_o doctor_n i_o be_o persuade_v will_v not_o be_v very_o willing_a to_o stand_v to_o for_o see_v the_o jew_n do_v

other_o form_n be_v leave_v upon_o record_n either_o in_o the_o gospel_n or_o epistle_n for_o by_o the_o doctor_n discourse_n the_o disciple_n have_v form_n of_o prayer_n which_o must_v certain_o be_v jewish_n form_n and_o christ_n only_o teach_v they_o another_o form_n which_o they_o be_v to_o add_v to_o those_o they_o have_v before_o yea_o according_a to_o what_o the_o doctor_n relate_v the_o
