as_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o sundry_a man_n be_v of_o this_o mind_n but_o i_o take_v it_o this_o opinion_n be_v not_o warrantable_a for_o as_o we_o say_v before_o the_o

seven_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o rest_n as_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o sanctification_n thereof_o but_o that_o it_o bind_v they_o to_o the_o same_o strait_a manner_n of_o keep_v the_o rest_n as_o it_o do_v the_o jew_n we_o utter_o deny_v second_o that_o the_o reason_n use_v to_o inforc_n the_o commandment_n do_v equal_o bind_v all_o therefore_o the_o commandment_n
