all_o needless_a doubt_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n which_o prove_v strong_o that_o god_n institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o man_n innocency_n but_o afâ—er_n his_o fall_n first_o the_o very_a word_n of_o my_o text_n affirm_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v institute_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o first_o it_o be_v say_v in_o express_a word_n that_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n rest_v &_o bless_v &_o sanctify_v that_o day_n second_o the_o thing_n which_o give_v god_n occasion_n to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o upon_o which_o the_o

from_o all_o he_o work_v which_o he_o have_v make_v the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n be_v very_o plain_a on_o or_o in_o the_o sevenâ—h_o day_n god_n end_v his_o work_n and_o rest_v and_o because_o of_o

of_o his_o creation_n the_o six_o day_n i_o prove_v by_o plain_a scripture_n and_o by_o strong_a argument_n ground_v on_o they_o the_o first_o testemony_n be_v that_o speech_n of_o david_n psalm_n
