now_o god_n will_v have_v a_o little_a picture_n of_o this_o among_o his_o saint_n here_o upon_o earth_n you_o know_v there_o remain_v a_o rest_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n heb._n 4.9_o it_o be_v a_o express_a place_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v there_o remain_v a_o sabbath_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v a_o glorious_a sabbath_n that_o all_o

have_v a_o little_a picture_n of_o this_o here_o in_o this_o life_n we_o can_v have_v it_o altogether_o in_o this_o life_n for_o we_o have_v mortal_a body_n that_o must_v be_v feed_v and_o clothe_v

be_v a_o solemn_a day_n for_o god_n service_n as_o king_n though_o their_o subject_n be_v to_o obey_v they_o every_o day_n and_o keep_v their_o law_n every_o day_n and_o if_o a_o subject_n

will_v have_v one_o solemn_a day_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o name_n he_o will_v have_v a_o solemn_a day_n wherein_o his_o people_n shall_v have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v but_o to_o set_v

when_o we_o be_v to_o rejoice_v towards_o god_n for_o any_o spiritual_a favour_n towards_o we_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v this_o day_n a_o holy_a day_n we_o ought_v to_o employ_v the_o hour_n of_o

to_o set_v apart_o a_o extraordinary_a time_n to_o prevail_v with_o god_n as_o ezra_n he_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n the_o enemy_n will_v

go_v to_o the_o kigng_n for_o a_o band_n of_o soldier_n he_o will_v think_v our_o god_n be_v a_o weak_a god_n i_o have_v tell_v he_o what_o a_o strong_a god_n we_o have_v and_o that_o he_o be_v

we_o and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o god_n therefore_o he_o set_v a_o day_n apart_o for_o a_o

when_o a_o man_n do_v think_v he_o desire_v heaven_n and_o to_o be_v regenerate_v of_o god_n he_o do_v apprehend_v regeneration_n in_o a_o wrong_a way_n and_o heaven_n in_o a_o wrong_a way_n so_o as_o
