A93852	The royal law contended for, or, Some brief grounds serving to prove that the Ten Commandments are yet in full force, and shall so remain till heaven and earth pass away. Also the seventh day Sabbath, proved from the beginning, from the law, from the prophets, from Christ, from his apostles, to be a duty yet incumbent upon saints and sinners. / By a lover of peace with truth Edward Stennet.

be_v such_o a_o strong_a argument_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n because_o paul_n preach_v upon_o it_o once_o what_o be_v this_o for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o
