set_v apart_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_v the_o lord_n his_o creator_n and_o for_o the_o repose_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o cattle_n the_o answer_n will_v be_v according_a to_o the_o letter_n of_o

viz._n the_o seven_o day_n of_o every_o week_n not_o require_v more_o or_o less_o in_o this_o respect_n i_o say_v the_o four_o command_n in_o the_o decalogue_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o do_v away_o by_o
