so_o high_a as_o we_o have_v do_v before_o yet_o you_o will_v find_v more_o content_a for_o how_o can_v want_n be_v so_o grievous_a when_o we_o consider_v the_o author_n and_o captain_n of_o our_o

the_o concern_v of_o your_o soul_n and_o then_o as_o for_o necessary_n thy_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v thou_o to_o want_v they_o s._n i_o be_o convince_v and_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o

if_o i_o may_v follow_v my_o call_v you_o may_v as_o well_o follow_v you_o and_o since_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o you_o to_o open_v your_o shop_n and_o keep_v your_o servant_n at_o

you_o will_v follow_v his_o example_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n to_o see_v so_o many_o keep_v their_o servant_n at_o home_n to_o draw_v drink_n and_o other_o to_o sell_v thing_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v at_o church_n or_o in_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o in_o some_o other_o exercise_v suitable_a for_o the_o day_n for_o it_o be_v count_v a_o persecution_n when_o we_o be_v force_v from_o the_o church_n and_o public_a worship_n if_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o persecution_n i_o think_v he_o that_o deny_v himself_o and_o his_o servant_n the_o opportunity_n of_o come_v to_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n be_v his_o own_o persecutor_n so_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o do_v too_o evident_o appear_v in_o many_o place_n that_o god_n be_v more_o dishonour_v and_o the_o devil_n better_o serve_v on_o that_o day_n than_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n beside_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v the_o judgement_n we_o now_o lie_v under_o may_v be_v owe_v to_o the_o profaner_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n for_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o much_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n so_o sin_n be_v a_o reproach_n to_o any_o people_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o bewail_v this_o national_a sin_n and_o do_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o our_o power_n to_o remedy_n it_o and_o i_o think_v we_o have_v reason_n to_o pray_v for_o these_o
