may_v be_v object_n expound_v thus_o god_n do_v actual_o purpose_n to_o sanctify_v it_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n if_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v only_a resp_n to_o purpose_n

for_o the_o further_a clear_v of_o this_o truth_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o argument_n of_o some_o learned_a person_n why_o they_o conceive_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o institute_v till_o
