end_n for_o it_o be_v not_o mete_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o greedy_a &_o desirous_a of_o our_o own_o profit_n that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v the_o same_o before_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n

here_o a_o question_n may_v be_v demand_v question_n for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o christ_n give_v this_o rule_n of_o prayer_n general_o in_o common_a to_o all_o the_o godly_a among_o the_o which_o number_n some_o be_v very_o rich_fw-fr which_o have_v abondance_n &_o store_n of_o victual_n now_o how_o do_v christ_n command_v they_o to_o ask_v their_o daily_a bread_n when_o

the_o which_o change_n may_v be_v call_v conditional_a &_o not_o substantial_a and_o because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n wonderful_a in_o deed_n they_o say_v true_o that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n be_v change_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o who_o will_v not_o marvel_v that_o the_o terrene_a bread_n shall_v be_v take_v and_o change_v
