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

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

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

father_n which_o be_v in_o the_o heaven_n but_o not_o that_o he_o ever_o say_v the_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n wherefore_o then_o do_v we_o make_v he_o to_o change_v his_o stile_n in_o the_o

the_o plural_a number_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n our_o lord_n do_v never_o say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o always_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o
