duty_n of_o all_o day_n be_v much_o more_o a_o particular_a duty_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v both_o because_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v in_o many_o respect_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o other_o day_n and_o because_o it_o be_v set_v apart_o from_o all_o other_o unto_o holiness_n but_o the_o private_a exercise_n of_o all_o gracious_a habit_n with_o ourselves_o and_o our_o family_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v common_a performance_n upon_o all_o day_n for_o as_o they_o bind_v always_o so_o be_v they_o indefinite_o command_v without_o restraint_n to_o any_o set_a day_n they_o be_v therefore_o much_o more_o require_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o common_a duty_n of_o all_o day_n three_o any_o duty_n be_v more_o require_v upon_o that_o time_n on_o which_o if_o right_o perform_v it_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n then_o at_o any_o other_o time_n for_o by_o this_o appear_v that_o god_n have_v regard_n as_o well_o to_o the_o time_n as_o to_o the_o duty_n but_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o holiness_n even_o the_o private_a and_o personal_a and_o economical_a be_v more_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n if_o perform_v on_o the_o day_n of_o his_o
