as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v grudge_v till_o it_o be_v over_o atten._n this_o his_o abhor_v of_o that_o day_n be_v not_o i_o think_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o day_n itself_o for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o day_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o as_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o day_n reason_n of_o his_o loathe_n of_o it_o be_v for_o that_o god_n have_v put_v sanctity_n and_o holiness_n upon_o it_o also_o because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v spend_v in_o holy_a devotion_n in_o remembrance_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a wise._n yes_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o enemy_n to_o it_o even_o because_o more_o restraint_n be_v lay_v upon_o he_o on_o that_o day_n from_o his_o own_o way_n than_o be_v possible_a shall_v be_v lay_v upon_o he_o on_o all_o other_o atten._n do_v not_o god_n by_o institute_v of_o a_o day_n unto_o holy_a duty_n make_v great_a proof_n how_o the_o heart_n and_o inclination_n of_o poor_a people_n do_v stand_v to_o holiness_n of_o heart_n and_o a_o conversation_n in_o doly_a duty_n wise._n service_n yes_o doubtless_o and_o a_o man_n shall_v show_v his_o heart_n and_o his_o life_n what_o they_o be_v more_o by_o one_o lordsday_n than_o by_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n beside_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o on_o the_o lordsday_n there_o be_v a_o special_a restraint_n lay_v upon_o man_n as_o to_o thought_n and_o life_n more_o than_o upon_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n beside_o also_o man_n be_v enjoin_v on_o that_o day_n to_o a_o strict_a performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n and_o restraint_n of_o worldly_a business_n than_o upon_o other_o day_n they_o be_v wherefore_o if_o their_o heart_n incline_v not_o natural_o to_o good_a now_o they_o will_v show_v it_o now_o they_o will_v appear_v what_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o emblem_n of_o the_o heavenly_a sabbath_n above_o and_o it_o make_v manifest_a how_o the_o heart_n ãâ¦ã_z to_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o holiââââ_n ãâ¦ã_z than_o to_o be_v find_v in_o a_o ãâ¦ã_z do_v ãâ¦ã_z âys_n a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o and_o out_o of_o holy_a duty_n and_o all_o in_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o now_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o day_n that_o enjoin_v to_o one_o perpetual_a duty_n of_o holiness_n 2._o remember_v that_o thou_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n 17_o which_o by_o christ_n be_v not_o abrogate_a 1._o but_o change_v 7._o into_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n 2._o not_o as_o it_o be_v give_v in_o particular_a to_o the_o jew_n 2d_o but_o as_o it_o be_v sanctify_v by_o he_o from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n 10._o and_o therefore_o be_v a_o great_a proof_n of_o the_o frame_n and_o temper_n of_o a_o man_n heart_n and_o do_v more_o make_v manifest_a to_o what_o he_o be_v incline_v than_o do_v his_o other_o performance_n of_o duty_n therefore_o god_n put_v great_a difference_n between_o they_o that_o true_o call_v and_o walk_v in_o this_o day_n as_o holy_a and_o count_v it_o honourable_a 13._o upon_o the_o account_n that_o now_o they_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o show_v how_o they_o delight_v to_o honour_v he_o 2._o in_o that_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o hour_n but_o a_o whole_a day_n to_o show_v it_o in_o i_o say_v he_o put_v great_a difference_n between_o these_o and_o that_o other_o sort_n that_o say_v 5._o when_o will_v the_o sabbath_n be_v go_v that_o we_o may_v be_v at_o our_o worldly_a business_n the_o first_o he_o call_v

of_o a_o sanctify_a nature_n than_o to_o grudge_v at_o the_o come_n and_o to_o be_v weary_a of_o the_o holy_a duty_n of_o such_o day_n as_o mr._n badman_n do_v atten._n there_o may_v be_v something_o in_o what_o you_o say_v for_o he_o that_o can_v abide_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n holy_a to_o god_n to_o be_v sure_a he_o have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o he_o be_v a_o unsanctified_a man_n
