force_v people_n to_o observe_v day_n come_v not_o this_o power_n and_o wisdom_n first_o from_o the_o pope_n and_o not_o from_o the_o apostle_n nor_o from_o christ_n jesus_n if_o you_o have_v it_o from_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n let_v we_o see_v where_o it_o be_v convince_v we_o with_o scripture_n and_o where_o i_o say_v do_v you_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n do_v ordain_v the_o day_n you_o call_v christmas_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n attend_v it_o which_o you_o call_v holiday_n but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n you_o may_v rather_o term_v they_o unholy_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o debauch_a heathenish_a practice_n so_o that_o whereas_o you_o pretend_v to_o honour_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o and_o by_o they_o you_o do_v no_o other_o indeed_o but_o dishonour_v he_o and_o do_v persecute_v other_o that_o will_v not_o do_v as_o you_o do_v and_o so_o break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n who_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v etc._n etc._n and_o here_o your_o command_n be_v that_o they_o must_v play_v more_o than_o six_o day_n now_o tell_v i_o if_o you_o can_v how_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v these_o day_n first_o observe_v as_o holiday_n and_o set_v apart_o to_o be_v keep_v as_o you_o do_v now_o keep_v they_o o_o the_o whoredom_n and_o debauchery_n and_o drunkenness_n the_o excess_n sensual_a pleasure_n carnal_a delight_n card_v dice_a dance_a that_o these_o day_n be_v fill_v up_o with_o so_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v more_o work_n do_v he_o in_o these_o day_n then_o in_o many_o other_o day_n before_o or_o after_o so_o let_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o your_o conscience_n answer_v yea_o or_o nay_o and_o let_v all_o sober_a people_n judge_n whether_o or_o no_o i_o speak_v not_o truth_n when_o i_o say_v god_n be_v more_o dishonour_v and_o his_o name_n prophanen_v and_o take_v in_o vain_a and_o blaspheme_v more_o in_o the_o twelve_o holy_a day_n so_o call_v then_o in_o three_o time_n the_o number_n of_o they_o let_v i_o say_v your_o conscience_n and_o all_o sober_a people_n judge_v so_o here_o you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o apostle_n judge_v they_o that_o do_v observe_v day_n but_o consider_v whether_o or_o no_o do_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n stand_v in_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o wash_n and_o in_o day_n nay_o nay_o it_o stand_v only_o in_o righteousness_n and_o in_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o kingdom_n all_o people_n be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o seek_v after_o and_o then_o concern_v your_o fast_n in_o lent_n etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n will_v say_v who_o require_v these_o thing_n at_o your_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v in_o isa_n 58.3_o 4._o wherefore_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o thou_o see_v or_o regard_v not_o etc._n etc._n behold_v say_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o fast_n you_o find_v pleasure_n and_o exact_v all_o your_o labour_n you_o fast_o for_o strife_n and_o debate_n and_o to_o smite_v with_o the_o fist_n of_o wickedness_n you_o shall_v not_o fast_o as_o you_o do_v this_o day_n to_o make_v your_o voice_n to_o be_v hear_v on_o high_a be_v it_o such_o a_o fast_a as_o i_o have_v choose_v a_o day_n for_o a_o man_n to_o afflict_v his_o soul_n be_v it_o to_o bow_v down_o his_o head_n like_o a_o bulrush_n and_o will_v thou_o call_v this_o a_o fast_a see_v the_o content_n of_o the_o chapter_n above_o where_o it_o be_v reprove_v for_o hypocrisy_n but_o be_v not_o this_o the_o fast_a that_o i_o have_v choose_v say_v the_o lord_n to_o loose_v the_o band_n of_o wickedness_n to_o undo_v the_o heavy_a burden_n to_o let_v the_o oppress_v go_v free_a and_o that_o they_o break_v every_o yoke_n be_v it_o not_o to_o deal_v thy_o bread_n to_o the_o hungry_a etc._n etc._n now_o whether_o your_o fast_a be_v such_o yea_o or_o nay_o let_v your_o own_o conscience_n judge_v and_o the_o apostle_n command_v we_o to_o pray_v everywhere_o lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n without_o wrath_n or_o doubt_v 1._o tim._n 2.8_o now_o consider_v this_o be_v not_o your_o hand_n like_o those_o fist_n of_o wickedness_n and_o be_v you_o not_o full_a of_o wrath_n and_o doubt_v or_o be_v your_o hand_n clean_a and_o holy_a let_v the_o witness_n in_o your_o conscience_n judge_v and_o see_v if_o those_o action_n and_o practice_n be_v not_o find_v among_o you_o as_o be_v among_o they_o who_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o here_o which_o be_v call_v hypocrisy_n as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o do_v not_o judas_n carry_v the_o bag_n who_o be_v
