give_v unto_o we_o or_o else_o we_o must_v become_v follower_n of_o god_n as_o dear_a child_n in_o sanctify_v this_o lively_a oracle_n of_o his_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n this_o divine_a truth_n of_o

it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o day_n upon_o the_o scripture_n account_n begin_v with_o the_o evening_n and_o now_o let_v we_o observe_v that_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n 30._o luke_n 24.29_o
