in_o the_o law_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v proper_a for_o christian_a people_n to_o settle_v christian_a religion_n by_o law_n but_o still_o as_o i_o say_v at_o first_o distinction_n must_v be_v

in_o the_o subject_a matter_n of_o that_o conscience_n and_o of_o those_o good_a intention_n this_o be_v the_o heal_n principle_n on_o which_o the_o apostle_n proceed_v when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o

of_o god_n give_v by_o moses_n that_o command_v the_o observation_n of_o day_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o therefore_o keep_v a_o day_n because_o he_o believe_v the_o lord_n will_v have_v he_o the_o latter_a better_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o true_a extent_n of_o christian_a liberty_n that_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n and_o redeem_v hereunto_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o legal_a day_n &_o it_o be_v in_o honour_n to_o the_o lord_n christ_n &_o to_o the_o
