of_o christ_n for_o a_o prayer_n first_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o christ_n doctrine_n that_o we_o shall_v say_v these_o word_n but_o he_o rather_o speak_v they_o to_o frame_v other_o prayer_n by_o

of_o david_n psalm_n to_o praise_n god_n with_o except_o they_o deny_v all_o scripture_n word_n to_o be_v use_v as_o prayer_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o why_o shall_v this_o scripture_n be_v deny_v and_o when_o christ_n say_v after_o this_o manner_n pray_v we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o verbatim_o after_o he_o as_o a_o scholar_n may_v say_v his_o lesson_n verbatim_o after_o his_o master_n 2_o they_o say_v matthew_n and_o luke_n have_v not_o the_o same_o form_n nor_o the_o same_o word_n nor_o the_o same_o number_n of_o they_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v say_v as_o a_o prayer_n i_o
