Perry -- kind of misses my point, but thank you for the info. This is good information, it seems.
I printed the page and will print the title page as well. I have decided to collect original copies of or close to it of various Christian works. I have a 1935 edition of AT Robertson's greek grammar, an 1851 copy of "Buck's Theological Dictionary," I also have two separate pages from the Geneva Bible printed between 1560 abd 1644 and two pages from the King James Pulpit Bible, 1650 AD or older.
Anyway, thanks again.
JD

John,
You say, "In the Sermon on the Mount, we have Christ presenting a prayer that is nowhere repeated in scripture". However, it IS presented in an ancient jewish test called the "Euchalogues"! Jesus may have been paraphrasing, rephrasing, or summarizing it. What do you think?
