Declaring first from what things God would haue vs straightly to rest vpon the Lords day, and then by what meanes we ought publikely and priuatly to sanctifie the same: together with the sundry abuses of our time in both these kindes, and how they ought to bee reformed.

and_o thereby_o judge_v of_o the_o rest_n i_o will_v take_v that_o which_o be_v too_o common_a every_o where_n we_o must_v not_o enforce_v tailor_n and_o shoemaker_n to_o work_v for_o we_o upon_o
