be_v use_v for_o it_o may_v be_v object_v the_o evangelist_n themselves_o repeat_v the_o passage_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o which_o the_o heaven_n be_v name_v in_o the_o plural_a have_v

to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o be_v not_o evangelist_n of_o such_o a_o rank_n as_o they_o be_v and_o that_o our_o translation_n proceed_v not_o as_o they_o do_v from_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o when_o we_o render_v the_o new_a testament_n into_o any_o other_o language_n we_o ought_v to_o express_v the_o very_a term_n of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o likewise_o when_o we_o translate_v the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v represent_v the_o very_a term_n thereof_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o

the_o plural_a the_o evangelist_n do_v recite_v a_o great_a number_n of_o the_o passage_n in_o which_o he_o have_v say_v our_o father_n or_o my_o
