to_o our_o good_a god_n and_o good_a as_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o procure_v good_a to_o our_o immortal_a soul_n this_o than_o i_o desire_v to_o charge_v upon_o all_o in_o public_a office_n let_v

2._o take_v care_n that_o the_o lordsday_n be_v keep_v holy_a that_o god_n may_v be_v worship_v it_o be_v necessary_a some_o time_n be_v set_v apart_o for_o his_o worship_n and_o what_o time_n fit_a
