have_v sever_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o his_o own_o use_n one_o day_n in_o seven_o god_n have_v choose_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o himself_o it_o receive_v its_o confecration_n and_o be_v set_v

he_o have_v relate_v it_o out_o of_o justin_n martyr_n his_o apology_n to_o the_o emperor_n antoninus_n how_o the_o christian_n be_v wont_a to_o meet_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n

from_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o spirit_n or_o rather_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o apostle_n do_v transfer_v the_o festivity_n and_o solemnity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o yet_o though_o the_o day_n be_v change_v yet_o the_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o by_o consecrate_v it_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n make_v it_o

we_o be_v then_o to_o keep_v holy_a one_o day_n in_o seven_o not_o only_o upon_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n because_o that_o in_o six_o day_n god_n finish_v the_o work_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o rest_v the_o seven_o but_o we_o be_v likewise_o strengthen_v and_o confirm_v in_o keep_v our_o christian_a sabbath_n which_o be_v likewise_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o in_o regard_n that_o on_o that_o day_n christ_n do_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o rest_n from_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n so_o that_o the_o

in_o seven_o shall_v be_v keep_v holy_a be_v the_o morality_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n beside_o the_o sanctify_a one_o day_n in_o seven_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o solemn_a day_n for_o god_n service_n be_v keep_v in_o its_o season_n and_o god_n require_v not_o that_o any_o seven_o day_n of_o our_o own_o devise_v shall_v be_v celebrate_v but_o he_o look_v and_o expect_v that_o such_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v keep_v as_o he_o have_v appoint_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n be_v the_o day_n command_v of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o time_n that_o god_n require_v it_o this_o
