A16523	The doctrine of the sabbath plainely layde forth, and soundly proued by testimonies both of holy scripture, and also of olde and new ecclesiasticall writers. 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.

of_o rest_v such_o duty_n be_v permit_v as_o the_o present_a necessity_n of_o any_o creature_n do_v require_v now_o we_o do_v far_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n

themselves_o all_o superior_n ought_v to_o be_v careful_a that_o their_o inferior_n do_v keep_v holy_a the_o day_n as_o well_o as_o themselves_o now_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o only_o have_v we_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n ourselves_o in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n public_a and_o private_a which_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o but_o also_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v in_o
