suppose_v it_o to_o be_v begin_v about_o that_o time_n because_o i_o find_v that_o till_o that_o time_n the_o apostle_n use_v the_o judaical_a sabbath_n but_o never_o after_o through_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o then_o use_v it_o be_v for_o that_o the_o great_a assembly_n be_v on_o that_o day_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o synagogue_n of_o the_o jew_n therefore_o they_o resort_v thither_o there_o they_o preach_v the_o gospel_n there_o they_o teach_v the_o people_n as_o if_o themselves_o have_v celebrate_v that_o sabbath_n and_o as_o it_o be_v long_o ere_o they_o bring_v in_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o in_o matter_n more_o remote_a and_o outward_a matter_n belong_v to_o the_o body_n they_o be_v less_o curious_a therefore_o though_o they_o labour_v hard_o in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n yet_o they_o require_v no_o wage_n of_o any_o man_n and_o though_o paul_n prescribe_v that_o bishop_n shall_v be_v good_a housekeeper_n yet_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o be_v owner_n of_o house_n but_o rather_o as_o fugitive_n to_o escape_v persecution_n or_o as_o pilgrim_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n if_o the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v in_o a_o solitary_a place_n to_o a_o people_n sequester_v from_o all_o other_o and_o at_o union_n among_o themselves_o and_o have_v no_o public_a nor_o potent_a adversary_n to_o hinder_v the_o course_n thereof_o if_o they_o i_o say_v can_v not_o preserve_v it_o in_o the_o original_a integrity_n much_o more_o of_o necessity_n must_v the_o establishment_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v impeach_v and_o

every_o region_n it_o must_v therefore_o have_v the_o great_a need_n of_o sundry_a reformation_n some_o of_o the_o first_o lineament_n must_v be_v wipe_v out_o some_o alter_v &_o some_o as_o
