if_o they_o so_o mean_v this_o prayer_n will_v be_v not_o only_o vain_a but_o also_o a_o impious_a mock_n of_o god_n see_v the_o commandment_n mention_n only_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o that_o

17._o christ_n the_o reader_n may_v further_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o here_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n but_o is_n in_o the_o present_a tense_n and_o this_o because_o god_n never_o declare_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v observe_v until_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n although_o the_o godhead_n do_v ever_o from_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n acquiesce_v in_o
