reverend_a and_o belove_a it_o have_v please_v the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n major_a of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n once_o and_o again_o to_o write_v unto_o the_o minister_n thereof_o respective_o in_o a_o very_a pious_a and_o pathetical_a manner_n not_o only_o to_o bewail_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o to_o signify_v what_o he_o have_v do_v by_o way_n of_o precept_n but_o also_o to_o promise_v what_o ever_o the_o power_n of_o his_o place_n may_v do_v for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o their_o hand_n and_o likewise_o to_o desire_v all_o and_o every_o particular_a minister_n in_o the_o city_n as_o they_o tender_v the_o honour_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o good_a of_o people_n soul_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o city_n yea_o and_o earnest_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o entreat_v as_o in_o the_o say_a letter_n appear_v more_o full_o that_o they_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n jesus_n press_v the_o duty_n of_o sanctify_v that_o holy_a day_n show_v the_o danger_n of_o profane_v of_o it_o and_o persuade_v not_o only_o to_o public_a worship_n but_o also_o to_o retire_v in_o private_a family_n to_o such_o holy_a duty_n as_o the_o lord_n require_v we_o who_o be_v some_o of_o those_o to_o who_o the_o foresay_a letter_n be_v direct_v have_v therefore_o according_o endeavour_v something_o heretofore_o in_o order_n to_o the_o desire_a end_n but_o of_o late_o more_o serious_o in_o our_o provincial_a assembly_n where_o through_o god_n mercy_n we_o have_v opportunity_n to_o confer_v about_o matter_n of_o religion_n we_o have_v weigh_v those_o foresay_a letter_n and_o labour_v mutual_o to_o have_v our_o heart_n affect_v as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n with_o the_o content_n thereof_o and_o as_o we_o bless_v god_n unfeigned_o for_o stir_v up_o the_o magistrate_n to_o mind_v the_o sabbath_n and_o quicken_v we_o in_o our_o duty_n about_o it_o the_o rather_o because_o in_o these_o time_n many_o be_v of_o gallio_n temper_n careless_a of_o such_o matter_n so_o we_o the_o minister_n there_o assemble_v with_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o elder_n have_v consult_v among_o ourselves_o wherein_o and_o how_o we_o may_v be_v most_o serviceable_a to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o great_a shepherd_n of_o the_o sheep_n in_o decry_v sabbath-breaking_n and_o in_o further_a the_o true_a sanctification_n of_o that_o holy_a rest_n both_o in_o public_a and_o private_a throughout_o all_o the_o congregation_n and_o family_n within_o the_o say_a city_n the_o liberty_n thereof_o and_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o province_n and_o because_o the_o delegate_n there_o assemble_v be_v but_o few_o of_o many_o minister_n within_o the_o city_n we_o judge_v it_o necessary_a by_o write_v to_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o brethren_n and_o fellow-labourer_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o as_o one_o man_n with_o one_o shoulder_n we_o may_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o procure_v in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o sanctify_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o the_o fountain_n and_o foundation_n of_o a_o more_o perfect_a reformation_n in_o all_o other_o thing_n appertain_v to_o religion_n to_o that_o end_n we_o make_v it_o our_o request_n unto_o all_o our_o dear_a brethren_n and_o to_o yourself_o in_o particular_a that_o upon_o and_o after_o as_o you_o see_v occasion_n you_o choose_v some_o pertinent_a scripture_n to_o open_v and_o apply_v for_o instruction_n of_o your_o hearer_n about_o the_o sabbath_n that_o all_o duty_n belong_v to_o it_o may_v be_v enforce_v and_o all_o error_n in_o judgement_n and_o sinful_a practice_n whereby_o it_o be_v pollute_v may_v be_v discover_v confute_v and_o reprove_v and_o because_o there_o be_v divers_a act_n and_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n in_o force_n for_o the_o better_a sanctification_n of_o that_o day_n we_o desire_v also_o that_o every_o officer_n may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o act_v conscientious_o and_o vigorous_o according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o place_n as_o be_v in_o they_o prescribe_v and_o what_o though_o we_o be_v poor_a and_o despise_a yet_o we_o may_v not_o forget_v god_n law_n we_o fear_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o trouble_n arise_v from_o hence_o that_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_o zealous_a for_o that_o rest_n if_o we_o can_v vindicate_v the_o lord_n day_n his_o holy_a ordinance_n will_v soon_o regain_v their_o credit_n the_o call_n of_o the_o minister_n will_v not_o die_v if_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v revive_v but_o if_o that_o fall_n which_o of_o we_o or_o what_o ordinance_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v it_o shall_v be_v no_o small_a encouragement_n unto_o we_o that_o god_n have_v prepare_v the_o magistrate_n heart_n to_o accompany_v we_o in_o our_o desire_n and_o endeavour_v this_o way_n and_o that_o we_o have_v so_o solemn_a a_o engagement_n as_o his_o promise_n in_o write_v to_o every_o one_o of_o we_o particular_o that_o he_o will_v use_v all_o the_o power_n of_o his_o place_n to_o press_v and_o carry_v on_o this_o work_n until_o it_o come_v unto_o perfection_n we_o want_v not_o many_o other_o yea_o strong_a and_o more_o sacred_a ground_n and_o reason_n to_o enforce_v these_o duty_n upon_o our_o conscience_n yet_o his_o encouragement_n zeal_n and_o forwardness_n shall_v provoke_v we_o as_o the_o like_a in_o jehosaphat_n and_o nehemia_n do_v among_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n god_n threaten_v sabbath_n of_o desolation_n the_o land_n say_v he_o shall_v enjoy_v her_o rest_n because_o it_o rest_v not_o in_o the_o day_n and_o year_n which_o he_o have_v set_v apart_o this_o in_o some_o proportion_n have_v be_v verify_v in_o mos●_n of_o those_o church_n which_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o reform_a to_o england_n we_o may_v say_v consider_v the_o state_n of_o other_o place_n be_v not_o high-minded_a but_o fear_v repent_v and_o do_v thy_o first_o work_n yea_o let_v thy_o last_o be_v better_a than_o thy_o first_o lest_o god_n remove_v thy_o candlestick_n we_o speak_v not_o this_o as_o if_o we_o need_v to_o put_v word_n into_o our_o brethren_n mouth_n but_o to_o stir_v up_o their_o pure_a mind_n and_o to_o testify_v how_o sincere_o we_o desire_v to_o sympathize_v with_o all_o those_o who_o mind_n the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n which_o we_o desire_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o love_v and_o look_v after_o as_o they_o be_v hate_v or_o neglect_v by_o other_o we_o forbear_v to_o press_v argument_n from_o the_o duty_n of_o your_o call_n because_o of_o yourself_o we_o hope_v
