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.

interpret_v general_a term_n by_o restrictive_a scripture_n for_o instance_n christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n we_o must_v understand_v it_o thus_o to_o every_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o nothing_o to_o be_v refuse_v now_o some_o be_v poison_n and_o be_v to_o be_v refuse_v but_o his_o meaning_n be_v every_o creature_n that_o be_v eatable_a be_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v refuse_v so_o here_o every_o day_n be_v alike_o that_o be_v every_o work_a day_n which_o god_n have_v make_v alike_o but_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o have_v sanctify_v and_o make_v it_o a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n and_o so_o not_o like_o the_o other_o

to_o gather_v and_o in_o our_o common_a speech_n it_o be_v so_o we_o call_v the_o six_o day_n every_o day_n man_n say_v we_o work_v every_o day_n or_o we_o travil_v so_o far_o every_o day_n when_o they_o mean_v only_o the_o six_o day_n that_o they_o count_v work_v day_n so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o they_o that_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n speak_v in_o the_o same_o language_n and_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o think_v otherwise_o for_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o we_o find_v before_o this_o that_o have_v any_o seem_a dislike_n against_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n
