any_o sabbath-day_n or_o such_o work_n of_o necessity_n as_o must_v be_v do_v on_o that_o sabbath-day_n as_o they_o command_v they_o and_o he_o will_v not_o see_v concern_v some_o that_o be_v person_n of_o quality_n and_o fashion_n minister_n and_o magistrate_n that_o they_o be_v not_o frequent_a in_o performance_n of_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n and_o if_o they_o be_v draw_v in_o to_o

of_o the_o verse_n one_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v command_v a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a be_v that_o the_o manservant_n and_o the_o maid-servant_n may_v rest_n as_o

of_o those_o sinner_n of_o who_o our_o saviour_n speak_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o they_o to_o repentance_n there_o be_v but_o few_o true_a
