mu●●_n be_v careful_a to_o keep_v the_o christian_n sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o sunday_n not_o only_o for_o that_o it_o be_v god_n express_a commandment_n but_o also_o to_o declare_v ourselves_o to_o be_v love_a child_n in_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o gracious_a lord_n and_o father_n thus_o it_o may_v plain_o appear_v that_o god_n will_v and_o commandment_n be_v to_o

thanks_n for_o they_o as_o appertain_v to_o love_v kind_n &_o obedient_a people_n this_o example_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n the_o godly_a christian_a people_n begin_v to_o follow_v immediate_o after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n and_o begin_v to_o choose_v they_o a_o stand_a day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o come_v together_o in_o yet_o not_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o the_o

by_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v our_o sunday_n which_o be_v the_o first_o day_n after_o the_o jew_n seven_o day_n and_o in_o the_o apocalips_n it_o be_v more_o plain_a where_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v i_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o sunday_n since_o which_o time_n god_n people_n i._o have_v always_o in_o all_o age_n without_o any_o gainsay_n use_v to_o

for_o gather_v xv_o of_o stick_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v stone_v to_o death_n but_o alas_o all_o these_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v lamentable_a to_o see_v the_o wicked_a boldness_n of_o those_o that_o will_v be_v count_v god_n people_n who_o pass_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o keep_v and_o hallow_v the_o sunday_n and_o these_o people_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o sort_n if_o

on_o the_o sunday_n final_o they_o use_v all_o day_n alike_o workdaies_o and_o holy_a day_n all_o be_v one_o the_o other_o sort_n be_v worse_o for_o although_o they_o will_v not_o travel_v nor_o labour_n on_o the_o sunday_n as_o they_o do_v on_o the_o week_n day_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o rest_v in_o holiness_n as_o god_n command_v but_o they_o rest_v in_o ungodliness_n &_o filthiness_n
