mu●●_n be_v careful_a to_o keep_v the_o christian_n sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o sunday_n not_o only_o for_o that_o it_o be_v god_n express_a commandment_n but_o also_o to_o declare_v

those_o that_o will_v be_v count_v god_n people_n who_o pass_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o keep_v and_o hallow_v the_o sunday_n and_o these_o people_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o sort_n if_o
