to_o call_v the_o day_n of_o our_o christian_a weekly-rest_n whether_o the_o sabbath_n the_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o prayer_n appoint_v to_o be_v use_v

what_o right_a we_o eat_v tie_v so_o to_o do_v 2._o concern_v the_o change_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n into_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n it_o be_v do_v vii_o as_o touch_v

unto_o he_o for_o his_o gracious_a goodness_n in_o restrain_v her_o unlawful_a affection_n from_o break_v out_o into_o actual_a uncleanness_n and_o preserve_v she_o when_o she_o have_v run_v out_o
