by_o the_o mayor_n whereas_o by_o oft_o and_o sad_a experience_n i_o find_v that_o the_o great_a and_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v much_o profane_v and_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n high_o scandalize_v by_o multitude_n of_o loose_a vain_a and_o idle_a person_n who_o walk_v in_o morefield_n and_o the_o field_n near_o unto_o it_o in_o a_o wander_a and_o
