i_o that_o they_o have_v say_v that_o they_o have_v study_v indeed_o to_o maintain_v a_o sabbath_n day_n out_o of_o the_o four_o come_v but_o whither_o it_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o 7_o day_n or_o the_o 8_o day_n on_o the_o saturday_n or_o on_o the_o sunday_n this_o point_n never_o come_v into_o their_o mind_n to_o study_v it_o well_o then_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v study_v by_o the_o

hereby_o it_o appear_v also_o upon_o what_o poor_a ground_n our_o common_a people_n have_v hither_o to_o go_v in_o rely_v their_o soul_n in_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n zeal_n
