A41789	The seventh day-Sabbath ceased as ceremonial and yet the morality of the fourth command remaineth, or, Seven reasons tending to prove that the fourth command in the Decalogue is of a different nature from the other nine ... also certain answers to some of the said reasons proved insufficient : whereunto is added a postscript, shewing the judgement of the Jews and antient Christians, touching the Sabbath-day / by Tho.

set_v apart_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_v the_o lord_n his_o creator_n and_o for_o the_o repose_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o cattle_n the_o answer_n will_v be_v according_a to_o the_o letter_n of_o

which_o as_o thing_n may_v &_o often_o do_v fall_v out_o may_v require_v more_o than_o seven_o day_n time_n together_o notwithstanding_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o four_o precept_n which_o say_v six_o
