of_o gather_a manna_n can_v not_o be_v a_o epocha_n for_o the_o six_n of_o their_o six_o work_a day_n original_o before_o their_o sabbath_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o epocha_n to_o the_o one_o

the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o that_o none_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o adam_n be_v bind_v in_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o observe_v god_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n wherein_o he_o rest_v from_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n than_o we_o may_v insist_v on_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o our_o evidence_n for_o adam_n beginning_n his_o sabbath_n in_o the_o morning_n it_o be_v so_o rational_o
