general_a vacation_n from_o work_n as_o in_o the_o old_a sabbath_n 3_o or_o if_o both_o be_v the_o apostle_n precept_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o they_o be_v god_n commandment_n for_o although_o the_o

the_o sabbath_n be_v by_o god_n ordinance_n also_o translate_v to_o that_o day_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v charge_v with_o the_o same_o commandment_n precise_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o change_n save_v of_o the_o day_n then_o be_v it_o no_o less_o displeasant_a to_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v any_o light_a work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o on_o

much_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o beside_o the_o lord_n love_v not_o one_o day_n more_o than_o another_o therefore_o if_o the_o duty_n belong_v to_o both_o day_n be_v the_o very_a same_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o transfer_v those_o duty_n from_o one_o day_n to_o another_o ob_fw-la the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v warrant_n by_o scripture_n 1._o

because_o it_o be_v not_o charge_v as_o that_o be_v with_o god_n commandment_n so_o that_o there_o be_v the_o like_a end_n of_o both_o but_o not_o the_o like_a beginning_n the_o like_a equivalence_n of_o occasion_n for_o both_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o man_n redemption_n be_v as_o excellent_a a_o work_n as_o rest_v from_o creation_n but_o not_o
