for_o they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o time_n for_o any_o other_o thing_n or_o any_o other_o way_n than_o god_n have_v appoint_v second_o the_o action_n that_o they_o do_v at_o that_o time_n be_v such_o as_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n then_o if_o they_o have_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o another_o time_n yea_o it_o be_v so_o in_o their_o very_a day_n of_o humiliation_n that_o be_v once_o a_o year_n a_o day_n of_o expiation_n this_o day_n must_v not_o be_v use_v for_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o if_o they_o humble_v themselves_o or_o fast_v upon_o another_o day_n that_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o god_n as_o upon_o this_o day_n so_o we_o shall_v see_v it_o in_o all_o superstition_n of_o man_n when_o they_o set_v apart_o either_o day_n or_o place_n or_o thing_n they_o put_v these_o two_o upon_o they_o as_o for_o place_n they_o say_v we_o appoint_v a_o place_n for_o people_n to_o meet_v in_o a_o religious_a way_n yes_o but_o when_o come_v it_o to_o

shall_v be_v persuade_v in_o my_o conscience_n that_o god_n accept_v of_o service_n do_v he_o in_o this_o place_n better_o than_o in_o any_o other_o though_o as_o decent_a as_o this_o so_o for_o

in_o another_o this_o be_v superstition_n as_o in_o one_o place_n in_o suffolk_n when_o that_o garment_n be_v lose_v there_o be_v a_o strict_a injunction_n to_o the_o poor_a country_n man_n that_o

that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sin_n that_o a_o man_n conscience_n shall_v condemn_v he_o before_o ge_v as_o sin_v against_o he_o if_o he_o do_v any_o thing_n upon_o that_o day_n but_o such_o holy_a
