and_o live_v in_o miserable_a oppression_n under_o the_o law_n and_o *_o tyranny_n of_o the_o egyptian_n 10._o an_o other_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n hereof_o be_v that_o they_o may_v offer_v a_o new_a oblation_n unto_o god_n that_o be_v two_o loaf_n of_o new_a corn_n bake_v as_o the_o first_o fruit_n in_o way_n of_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o offer_v only_o the_o measure_n of_o new_a corn_n before_o harvest_n but_o oblation_n also_o toward_o the_o end_n of_o harvest_n and_o thereby_o be_v teach_v as_o we_o also_o shall_v be_v that_o the_o fruit_n of_o harvest_n come_v not_o either_o of_o the_o fertility_n of_o the_o ground_n or_o of_o their_o own_o labour_n and_o travail_n but_o of_o the_o singular_a favour_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v use_v the_o same_o not_o to_o riot_v and_o drunkenness_n but_o with_o reverence_n and_o *_o thanksgiving_n 4._o the_o three_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n be_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o figure_n both_o of_o the_o true_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o of_o the_o spiritual_a harvest_n that_o be_v to_o come_v under_o the_o true_a moses_n and_o deliverer_n christ_n jesus_n for_o even_o as_o fifty_a day_n after_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egipte_n they_o have_v the_o law_n give_v they_o in_o mount_n sinai_n so_o the_o fifty_o day_n after_o our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n by_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o true*_n passover_n 7._o the_o holy_a

27_o but_o also_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o good_a minister_n &_o labourer_n might*_n gather_v together_o the_o spiritual_a harvest_n of_o god_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o all_o faithful_n may_v receive_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n we_o do_v not_o therefore_o observe_v this_o day_n superstitious_o because_o
