than_o if_o we_o keep_v god_n commandment_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o we_o love_v god_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v of_o his_o free_a mercy_n make_v his_o child_n for_o the_o

that_o though_o the_o father_n do_v often_o use_v the_o word_n merit_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o good_a work_n yet_o do_v they_o never_o take_v it_o in_o your_o popish_a manner_n nor_o expect_v

and_o promise_n sake_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o term_v good_a work_v meritorious_a because_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o accept_v the_o work_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o worthy_a for_o the_o

which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o

in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a
