So does the author of the Dialogus contra Marcionitas[312],--whom however I take to be Origen.

Griesbach, on far slenderer evidence, was for obelizing all the three clauses.

But Lachmann, Tregelles, Tischendorf and the Revisers reject them entirely.

I am persuaded that they are grievously mistaken in so doing, and that the received text represents what St.Matthew actually wrote.

It is the text of all the uncials but two, of all the cursives but six or seven; and this alone ought to be decisive.
