they_o speak_v this_o prayer_n to_o god_n they_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n better_v thereby_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o they_o also_o they_o use_v it_o without_o fear_n and_o reverence_n

therefore_o it_o follow_v probable_o that_o the_o apostle_n never_o tie_v themselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prayer_n but_o vary_v upon_o occasion_n brief_o then_o christ_n use_v this_o

for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o he_o use_v the_o very_a word_n set_v down_o by_o the_o evangelist_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o evangelist_n use_v to_o set_v down_o not_o all_o and_o
