and_o let_v they_o keep_v their_o saturday-sabbath_n all_o the_o way_n when_o they_o come_v home_o to_o england_n they_o will_v find_v their_o saturday_n to_o fall_v upon_o our_o sunday_n and_o they_o may_v thenceforth_o continue_v to_o observe_v their_o saturday-sabbath_n on_o the_o same_o day_n with_o we_o which_o be_v the_o second_o expedient_a if_o you_o ask_v how_o this_o can_v be_v i_o will_v make_v it_o very_o plain_a that_o so_o it_o will_v be_v and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v for_o suppose_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v round_o and_o the_o sun_n move_v from_o east_n to_o west_n you_o must_v

there_o till_o it_o be_v one_o a_o clock_n at_o the_o place_n where_o he_o embark_v and_o so_o in_o proportion_n a_o hour_n for_o every_o fifteen_o degree_n and_o according_o when_o he_o have_v go_v round_o the_o whole_a circle_n of_o three_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o degree_n that_o be_v four_o and_o twenty_o time_n fifteen_o it_o will_v be_v late_a by_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n that_o be_v it_o will_v be_v but_o saturday-noon_n with_o he_o when_o it_o be_v sundaynoon_n with_o those_o who_o stay_v here_o that_o be_v his_o saturday_n will_v be_v our_o sunday_n and_o thenceforth_o his_o saturday-sabbath_n will_v be_v the_o same_o day_n with_o our_o sunday-sabbath_n ever_o after_o and_o this_o i_o think_v shall_v full_o satisfy_v he_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o p._n 39_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sunrising_n or_o set_v in_o different_a climate_n do_v no_o way_n disturb_v for_o that_o a_o day_n long_o or_o short_a be_v still_o a_o day_n and_o but_o a_o day_n most_o certain_a it_o be_v he_o who_o shall_v have_v thus_o sail_v round_o the_o world_n will_v have_v have_v one_o day_n few_o than_o those_o who_o stay_v here_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sir_n francis_n
