when_o they_o come_v forth_o they_o find_v nothing_o here_o be_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o we_o to_o learn_v that_o as_o they_o go_v out_o to_o gather_v manna_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o find_v nothing_o so_o the_o gain_n that_o be_v get_v by_o sell_v ware_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v just_o nothing_o howsoever_o man_n be_v blind_v and_o think_v the_o contrary_a for_o god_n curse_n

commit_v both_o by_o prentice_n and_o other_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o on_o any_o three_o day_n in_o the_o week_n beside_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n will_v see_v that_o their_o servant_n shall_v follow_v the_o business_n of_o their_o trade_n all_o the_o week_n but_o upon_o god_n day_n they_o be_v careless_a of_o they_o and_o suffer_v they_o to_o do_v what_o they_o listen_v themselves_o that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o their_o recreation_n for_o as_o solomon_n say_v it_o be_v a_o pastime_n to_o a_o fool_n to_o do_v evil_a when_o they_o shall_v
