that_o the_o resurrection_n do_v apply_v and_o determine_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n to_o the_o lord_n day_n these_o go_v so_o far_o that_o all_o proof_n and_o reason_n forsake_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o saviour_n victorious_a rise_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o good_a occasion_n which_o the_o church_n take_v to_o celebrate_v this_o day_n but_o that_o act_n of_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o instead_o of_o a_o law_n to_o appoint_v the_o day_n they_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o god_n but_o his_o word_n that_o institute_v law_n and_o where_o
