that_o this_o night_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o then_o keep_v do_v yet_o further_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v this_o night_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o

§_o sect._n 16_o but_o yet_o in_o do_v these_o work_n of_o necessity_n three_o thing_n must_v diligent_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o necessity_n caution_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o do_v the_o work_n of_o

so_o long_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o travail_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n to_o come_v there_o by_o his_o day_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n bring_v a_o necessity_n upon_o himself_o which_o god_n never_o
