christ_n do_v handie-work_n without_o necessity_n and_o command_v servile_a work_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n without_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o moral_a 8_o christ_n as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o lord_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o only_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a therefore_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o moral_a 9_o if_o the_o son_n of_o man_n who_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v take_v in_o its_o vulgar_a signification_n for_o every_o man_n the_o sabbath_n can_v be_v moral_a 10_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v only_o a_o positive_a
