A73399	An examination and confutation of a lawlesse pamphlet, intituled, A briefe answer to a late treatise of the Sabbath-day: digested dialogue-wise betweene two divines, A and B. By Dr. Fr.

sabbath-day_n follow_v upon_o the_o sunday_n he_o begin_v his_o operation_n of_o application_n of_o the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o he_o do_v no_o more_o rest_n or_o cease_v
