never_o yet_o revoke_v nor_o never_o will_v but_o the_o other_o sort_n which_o be_v but_o ceremonial_n and_o intend_v to_o last_v but_o during_o the_o pedagogie_n of_o his_o people_n and_o so_o for_o

question_n in_o this_o hallow_n which_o have_v most_o perplex_v the_o mind_n of_o many_o good_a christian_n be_v concern_v the_o time_n when_o god_n do_v actual_o hallow_v or_o set_v apart_o the_o

before_o yet_o he_o never_o appoint_v or_o hallow_v a_o weekly_a seven_o day_n for_o man_n rest_n until_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n our_o reason_n for_o this_o assertion_n be_v these_o first_o if_o
