six_o and_o seven_o day_n which_o seven_o day_n be_v call_v the_o sabbath_n throughout_o the_o scripture_n how_o ever_o that_o may_v seem_v to_o the_o doctor_n i_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o call_v the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o the_o same_o name_n as_o the_o lord_n call_v they_o and_o if_o the_o doctor_n will_v retain_v the_o old_a idol_n name_n without_o scruple_n notwithstanding_o his_o own_o acknowledgement_n whence_o they_o be_v and_o notwithstanding_o the_o word_n against_o they_o i_o can_v help_v it_o and_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o most_o subtle_a of_o those_o who_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o hold_v fast_o the_o idol_n name_n of_o day_n do_v doubt_v the_o consequence_n of_o lay_v they_o aside_o as_o if_o it_o may_v by_o degree_n introduce_v both_o true_a name_n and_o thing_n what_o be_v say_v p._n 68_o 69_o 70._o upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o scruple_n about_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n i_o think_v do_v much_o concern_v all_o that_o fear_n god_n but_o because_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v out_o direct_o but_o only_o fall_v upon_o scrupulosity_n and_o shadow_n and_o circumstance_n seem_o though_o i_o think_v it_o pretty_a

of_o serious_a religion_n and_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o i_o think_v be_v very_o hard_a reflection_n now_o i_o doubt_v that_o not_o only_o the_o romish_a world_n but_o some_o other_o not_o of_o that_o way_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v be_v yet_o at_o some_o distance_n from_o their_o duty_n in_o those_o case_n who_o be_v hold_v to_o the_o frame_v wherein_o they_o walk_v by_o the_o

chew_v as_o they_o find_v they_o and_o so_o i_o doubt_v esteem_v those_o who_o differ_v from_o they_o who_o upon_o the_o most_o diligent_a search_n and_o long_a experiance_n worship_n god_n as_o they_o think_v according_a to_o the_o word_n as_o scrupulous_a and_o as_o stand_v for_o little_a circumstance_n and_o shadow_n and_o so_o conscientious_a lively_a spiritual_n worship_v as_o but_o shadow_n and_o not_o substance_n of_o christian_a worship_n and_o such_o worshipper_n as_o diverter_n of_o other_o from_o serious_a religion_n many_o of_o who_o rod_n do_v yet_o bud_v and_o blossom_n and_o bring_v forth_o almond_n which_o if_o god_n so_o please_v i_o shall_v be_v hearty_o glad_a to_o hear_v of_o their_o rod_n who_o reflect_v upon_o they_o which_o little_a circumstance_n and_o

it_o seem_v we_o have_v some_o thought_n of_o spiritual_a prayer_n etc._n etc._n as_o before_o of_o preach_v and_o thus_o the_o very_a life_n and_o power_n of_o christian_a worship_n be_v as_o i_o
