of_o the_o first_o day_n sabbath_n but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o and_o in_o p._n 114._o he_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v observe_v in_o commemoration_n of_o the_o

now_o here_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v that_o his_o endeavour_n be_v to_o prove_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o yet_o in_o p._n 56._o he_o say_v we_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v call_v no_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n a_o sabbath_n but_o the_o seven_o and_o in_o p._n 94._o he_o say_v the_o first_o day_n be_v never_o call_v

if_o we_o who_o in_o scorn_n be_v call_v quaker_n shall_v bring_v such_o doctrine_n as_o we_o have_v no_o scripture_n to_o prove_v how_o will_v people_n cry_v out_o against_o we_o and_o indeed_o

day_n that_o be_v once_o command_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o a_o sabbath_n or_o rest_n which_o be_v all_o one_o and_o this_o be_v a_o high_a day_n with_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o blame_v christ_n

here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o shadow_n of_o what_o may_v some_o say_v why_o the_o body_n be_v of_o christ_n he_o that_o can_v understand_v let_v he_o christ_n be_v
