when_o indeed_o there_o be_v to_o be_v no_o sabbath_n this_o be_v gross_a to_o imagine_v but_o as_o sure_a as_o winter_n be_v to_o remain_v winter_n so_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o remain_v the_o sabbath_n and_o if_o their_o flight_n have_v be_v upon_o it_o it_o will_v have_v be_v the_o more_o tedious_a it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n and_o refreshment_n to_o they_o wherein_o they_o use_v to_o

christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v up_o to_o be_v kill_v and_o they_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o nation_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n this_o be_v in_o the_o
