In the gospel of Matthew there be added these words: […] est regnum, & potentia, & gloria in secula seculorum. for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory world without end. Amen. These words are added, not without cause: for like as we say, in yt beginning: Our father, signifying that he will fulfil our request: so at the end we conclude1 saying: thine is the power &c. signifying that he is able to help us in our distress and to grant our requests.
