bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o hallow_v it_o if_o thou_o will_v be_v win_v to_o the_o due_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n as_o a_o obedient_a servant_n see_v god_n command_v remember_v that_o

by_o rule_n thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n in_o it_o then_o by_o
example_n he_o make_v the_o whole_a world_n in_o six_o day_n and_o he_o rest_v the_o seven_o wherefore_o he_o bless_v it_o see_v god_n thus_o command_v thou_o by_o his_o power_n persuade_v thou_o in_o his_o mercy_n and_o teach_v thou_o both_o by_o rule_n and_o his_o own_o most_o gracious_a example_n how_o can_v thou_o be_v so_o devoid_a of_o grace_n nay_o of_o reason_n as_o not_o to_o obey_v so_o just_a a_o master_n so_o merciful_a a_o father_n so_o gracious_a a_o teacher_n if_o thou_o make_v not_o a_o conscience_n of_o keep_v this_o day_n howsoever_o a_o dull_a security_n may_v possess_v thou_o to_o flatter_v thyself_o thou_o indeed_o make_v conscience_n of_o nothing_o for_o i_o be_o persuade_v if_o thou_o can_v dispense_v with_o thyself_o to_o profane_v this_o day_n either_o for_o

the_o world_n his_o great_a mercy_n in_o redeem_v it_o and_o mingle_v with_o thy_o meditation_n prayer_n that_o may_v apply_v these_o great_a blessing_n to_o thyself_o so_o approach_n and_o enter_v with_o reverend_a and_o fervent_a zeal_n the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o throw_v away_o all_o thought_n but_o such_o as_o may_v further_o the_o good_a work_n thou_o be_v about_o bend_v thy_o knee_n and_o heart_n to_o god_n desire_v of_o he_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o thou_o may_v join_v with_o the_o congregation_n in_o zealous_a prayer_n and_o earnest_a attention_n to_o his_o word_n preach_v and_o though_o perhaps_o thou_o hear_v a_o minister_n preach_v as_o thou_o think_v weak_o yet_o give_v he_o thy_o attention_n and_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o will_v deliver_v something_o

the_o holy_a word_n thou_o have_v hear_v without_o which_o true_o hear_v profit_v little_a for_o it_o be_v with_o the_o soul_n as_o with_o the_o body_n though_o meat_n be_v never_o so_o wholesome_a
