as_o you_o endeavour_v to_o suppress_v if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o i_o be_o mistake_v here_o for_o all_o christian_n do_v not_o agree_v about_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o punish_v man_n for_o the_o profanation_n of_o it_o i_o answer_v that_o grant_v some_o good_a man_n may_v have_v give_v direction_n about_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n that_o can_v be_v warrant_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o reduce_v it_o too_o much_o to_o a_o wearisome_a bodily_a exercise_n yet_o have_v we_o enough_o to_o confirm_v our_o

when_o all_o the_o other_o nine_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v of_o universal_a and_o perpetual_a obligation_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o conceive_v that_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o shall_v concern_v only_o the_o jew_n and_o consider_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o all_o age_n and_o the_o experience_n of_o a_o special_a presence_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o the_o public_a christian_a worship_n on_o such_o a_o weekly_a day_n of_o rest_n and_o that_o serious_a religion_n be_v never_o observe_v to_o thrive_v and_o flourish_v or_o be_v long_o preserve_v in_o any_o city_n family_n or_o particular_a soul_n where_o this_o be_v neglect_v these_o and_o the_o like_a thing_n be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o justification_n but_o you_o my_o brethren_n that_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v peculiar_o oblige_v to_o suppress_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n because_o every_o lord_n day_n and_o oftener_o you_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o incline_v your_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o four_o commandment_n and_o that_o the_o four_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o nine_o may_v be_v write_v upon_o your_o heart_n and_o obey_v in_o your_o life_n beside_o what_o may_v be_v quote_v out_o of_o the_o homily_n 3._o have_v mention_v this_o of_o the_o sabbath_n i_o proceed_v to_o consider_v you_o in_o your_o family_n and_o shop_n and_o private_a
