altogether_o to_o this_o purpose_n note_n with_o i_o the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n may_v be_v consider_v absolute_o or_o relative_o and_o significative_o for_o instance_n john_n the_o baptist_n be_v a_o

to_o come_v after_o he_o now_o when_o christ_n be_v already_o come_v in_o john_n presence_n so_o as_o john_n point_v to_o he_o say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n now_o forth_o with_o john_n lose_v his_o relative_a nature_n of_o be_v any_o long_a christ_n forerunner_n and_o to_o preach_v of_o christ_n as_o to_o come_v because_o christ_n be_v already_o come_v nevertheless_o john_n lose_v not_o

2.16.17_o and_o yet_o not_o meddle_v with_o we_o no_o more_o than_o he_o abolish_v fast_v by_o this_o text_n we_o may_v not_o make_v a_o image_n to_o worship_n yet_o may_v we_o make_v a_o image_n

our_o own_o practice_n in_o still_o keep_v pentecost_n day_n will_v condemn_v we_o moreover_o you_o know_v all_o difference_n of_o day_n be_v take_v away_o rom._n 14.5_o and_o gal._n 4.10_o nam_o as_o

answer_v so_o as_o they_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o god_n book_n for_o abolish_n of_o god_n sabbath_n and_o to_o conclude_v i_o can_v but_o wonder_v what_o shall_v set_v wise_a and_o religiouse_a

permit_v apocrypha_fw-la scripture_n to_o be_v read_v sometime_o in_o our_o congregation_n yet_o it_o permit_v they_o not_o to_o be_v use_v and_o allege_v as_o a_o sole_a ground_n to_o establish_v

the_o 4_o com_n and_o since_o god_n at_o creation_n give_v a_o commandment_n for_o that_o sabbath_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v christ_n will_v a_o give_v a_o commandment_n too_o for_o this_o
