leaf_n in_o the_o first_o leaf_n whereof_o be_v write_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n to_o god_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o this_o christ_n call_v the_o first_o and_o great_a

shall_v l●ue_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o now_o in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o teach_v man_n duty_n to_o god_n be_v contain_v four_o commandment_n the_o first_o whereof_o teach_v god_n inward_a worship_n the_o second_o his_o outward_a worship_n the_o three_o the_o reverend_a use_n of_o they_o both_o and_o the_o four_o the_o time_n when_o his_o worship_n be_v especial_o to_o be_v

inferior_a and_o of_o the_o inferior_a to_o the_o superior_a in_o these_o word_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n in_o the_o other_o five_o be_v contain_v general_a duty_n and_o first_o because_o life_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n therefore_o in_o the_o f●rst_a of_o they_o which_o be_v the_o six_o he_o take_v order_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v second_o because_o as_o life_n must_v be_v perserue_v so_o he_o will_v have_v we_o live_v a_o honest_a life_n therefore_o he_o give_v a_o commandment_n for_o that_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n then_o three_o because_o a_o honest_a life_n must_v be_v honest_o maintain_v god_n take_v order_n for_o that_o also_o he_o will_v have_v no_o steal_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o as_o he_o have_v take_v order_n for_o our_o good_n so_o also_o for_o our_o good_a name_n he_o will_v have_v no_o false_a witness_n bear_v thou_o shall_v not_o bear_v false_a witness_n and_o last_o of_o all_o because_o as_o when_o we_o see_v many_o pipe_n and_o conduit_n infect_v we_o go_v to_o the_o fountain_n because_o from_o thence_o come_v the_o corruption_n so_o sin_n be_v convey_v by_o the_o heart_n as_o water_n by_o the_o pipe_n from_o the_o fountain_n because_o from_o the_o heart_n come_v evil_a thought_n for_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o very_a puddle_n and_o sink_v of_o all_o sin_n god_n therefore_o give_v we_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o first_o motion_n and_o tickle_n of_o sin_n although_o neither_o heart_n consent_n nor_o deed_n follow_v in_o these_o word_n thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v and_o this_o be_v the_o general_a strain_n of_o these_o ten_o word_n as_o moses_n call_v they_o deut._n 4._o 13_o upon_o which_o hang_v the_o whole_a

but_o among_o they_o all_o in_o no_o one_o commandment_n have_v god_n use_v more_o effectual_a reason_n to_o persuade_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o commandment_n of_o great_a force_n to_o persuade_v persuade_v by_o than_o in_o this_o it_o need_v indeed_o great_a fortification_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n because_o the_o assault_n against_o it_o be_v strong_a than_o against_o any_o of_o the_o

if_o he_o shall_v command_v thou_o to_o keep_v six_o day_n and_o give_v thou_o but_o one_o thou_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v it_o for_o that_o one_o sake_n how_o much_o more_o than_o since_o he_o have_v

upon_o the_o six_o day_n and_o this_o in_o truth_n we_o ought_v to_o do_v if_o not_o in_o this_o regard_n that_o god_n command_v we_o who_o command_n shall_v be_v of_o great_a authority_n with_o we_o yet_o at_o least_o that_o we_o may_v show_v ourselves_o good_a governor_n and_o that_o we_o govern_v they_o as_o tender_v their_o good_a over_o who_o we_o be_v set_v and_o wherein_o can_v we_o more_o

therefore_o at_o least_o teach_v thou_o thy_o duty_n to_o thy_o servant_n yea_o but_o will_v some_o master_n say_v my_o servant_n will_v not_o thus_o be_v hold_v in_o by_o you_o no_o will_n who_o hold_v they_o in_o then_o to_o their_o work_n in_o the_o week_n day_n if_o any_o shall_v then_o start_v aside_o from_o your_o business_n you_o will_v easy_o find_v mean_n to_o enforce_v he_o and_o

then_o let_v they_o have_v it_o altogether_o and_o discharge_v they_o for_o will_v thou_o have_v he_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v god_n to_o serve_v thou_o thou_o ought_v at_o least_o to_o be_v as_o

you_o do_v not_o find_v they_o such_o yet_o you_o will_v make_v they_o such_o but_o this_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o it_o our_o servant_n must_v be_v send_v abroad_o every_o sabbath_n in_o errand_n

the_o sabbath_n breaker_n by_o the_o law_n of_o contrary_n must_v be_v accurse_v and_o so_o they_o be_v indeed_o and_o nehemiah_n be_v not_o afraid_a to_o tell_v they_o so_o much_o to_o their_o face_n

and_o herein_o i_o have_v show_v first_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n second_o the_o change_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n three_o that_o it_o may_v not_o again_o be_v change_v
