of_o those_o sinner_n of_o who_o our_o saviour_n speak_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o they_o to_o repentance_n there_o be_v but_o few_o true_a

not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o remedy_n and_o redress_v those_o thing_n if_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o cause_v his_o sabbath_n more_o careful_o to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n on_o holiday_n on_o week_n day_n be_v more_o in_o use_n than_o now_o they_o be_v they_o that_o be_v true_a
