that_o as_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o also_o shall_v rest_v from_o the_o work_v not_o of_o sin_n as_o these_o man_n will_v have_v it_o but_o

moral_a which_o they_o make_v all_o one_o must_v not_o be_v confound_v true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o first_o parent_n have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v ceremonial_a in_o their_o heart_n before_o

the_o natural_a law_n we_o know_v our_o first_o father_n adam_n beside_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n have_v the_o sabbath_n in_o express_a word_n give_v he_o and_o although_o he_o have_v the_o great_a

which_o will_v not_o grant_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o that_o not_o only_o inward_o but_o outward_o also_o by_o mean_n and_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n

which_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v for_o his_o honour_n the_o heathen_a be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o how_o many_o nation_n so_o many_o head_n how_o many_o head_n so_o many_o kind_n of_o religion_n the_o gentile_n who_o vain_a tradition_n be_v but_o disorder_v imitation_n of_o moses_n law_n which_o they_o have_v hear_v of_o have_v indeed_o their_o holy_a day_n which_o not_o be_v use_v in_o

of_o god_n again_o it_o be_v like_a that_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n of_o fast_v as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o ninivit_n but_o how_o to_o order_v it_o a_o right_a to_o
