christian_a church_n in_o all_o age_n since_o the_o apostle_n have_v depute_v one_o weekly_a seventh-day_n to_o the_o foresaid_a end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n just_a and_o reasonable_a

either_o to_o himself_o or_o to_o any_o other_o if_o it_o be_v due_o examine_v by_o lawful_a and_o competent_a judge_n a._n that_o be_v true_a you_o say_v but_o yet_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o so_o great_a a_o personage_n will_v so_o far_o overshoot_v as_o to_o give_v that_o advantage_n to_o those_o who_o he_o make_v his_o adversary_n nay_o you_o know_v his_o book_n be_v dedicate_v to_o

about_o sabbatarian_n question_n now_o if_o he_o maintain_v not_o but_o as_o you_o say_v overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o will_v have_v small_a thanks_n from_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n for_o his_o pain_n who_o be_v the_o defender_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o have_v often_o solemn_o protest_v article_n declaration_n about_o

the_o bishop_n can_v expect_v small_a thanks_n from_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n to_o who_o his_o book_n be_v dedicate_v or_o from_o his_o majesty_n who_o will_v suffer_v no_o innovation_n
