in_o a_o word_n all_o within_o thy_o gate_n look_v not_o only_o to_o master_n and_o all_o in_o their_o family_n or_o within_o their_o door_n but_o to_o magistrate_n and_o governor_n and_o all_o

from_o violate_v this_o day_n hence_o we_o gather_v 1_o that_o idleness_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o will_v hardly_o give_v god_n his_o due_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n who_o be_v not_o

that_o they_o come_v to_o church_n 2._o we_o gather_v that_o humane_a whether_o ecclesiastic_a or_o civil_a appointment_n of_o ordinary_a fix_a day_n for_o worship_n throughout_o the_o whole_a day_n beside_o the_o sabbath_n will_v not_o agree_v with_o this_o command_n allow_v man_n six_o for_o labour_n it_o be_v true_a god_n may_v sovereign_o limit_v man_n but_o where_o he_o have_v give_v

to_o none_o other_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a piece_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o who_o have_v divide_v time_n betwixt_o his_o worship_n and_o our_o work_n and_o although_o man_n shall_v keep_v the_o

that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v sanctify_v and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o religion_n be_v entertain_v and_o receive_v and_o reverence_v in_o and_o by_o those_o over_o who_o he_o have_v charge_n then_o if_o

the_o worship_n of_o god_n why_o because_o these_o be_v within_o his_o gate_n and_o he_o be_v to_o account_v for_o they_o he_o be_v to_o rule_v for_o god_n and_o their_o good_a which_o be_v main_o
