which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o his_o scope_n be_v to_o notify_v at_o what_o particular_a time_n he_o have_v the_o vision_n and_o revelation_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n to_o all_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o he_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n arg._n which_o be_v either_o some_o particular_a day_n or_o some_o general_a
