14._o be_v the_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v etc._n etc._n a_o command_n or_o only_o a_o licence_n a._n they_o be_v not_o only_o a_o licence_n but_o a_o command_n to_o man_n 11._o to_o

whole_a day_n either_o weekly_o or_o monthly_a or_o yearly_a to_o religious_a exercise_n when_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o labour_v on_o they_o a._n as_o god_n command_n of_o rest_a on_o the_o

suppose_a exception_n of_o extraordinary_a occasion_n for_o day_n of_o humiliation_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o all_o god_n command_v suppose_v that_o when_o two_o duty_n meet_v together_o and_o can_v
