chair_n whatsoever_o they_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o observe_v and_o do_v but_o we_o never_o find_v that_o he_o counsel_v to_o pray_v their_o prayer_n and_o again_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o form_n which_o john_n baptist_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o harbinger_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o christ_n be_v not_o sufficient_o accommodate_v or_o fit_v to_o the_o

be_v say_v that_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v and_o that_o they_o viz._n his_o scholar_n or_o disciple_n learn_v this_o lesson_n and_o practise_v this_o duty_n seem_v imply_v in_o the_o
