Andrews in Scotland, that the Lords Prayer (commonly called the Pater noster) should be done only to God & not to Saints▪ ⟨p. 1274⟩neither to any other creature:1 the Doctors of the University of S. Andrews together with the Grey Friars, who had long ago taught the people to pray the Pater noster to Saints, had great indignation that their old doctrine should be repugned, & stirred up a Grey Friar called Friar Toittis, to preach again to the people that they should & might pray the Pater noster to Saintes.
