mankind_n let_v i_o recommend_v two_o thing_n to_o your_o special_a care_n and_o observation_n 1._o the_o suppression_n of_o such_o doctrine_n as_o subvert_v religion_n particular_o those_o of_o the_o romish_a church_n how_o dangerous_a they_o be_v to_o government_n and_o destructive_a of_o virtue_n you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a and_o how_o malepert_a the_o promoter_n and_o professor_n of_o they_o be_v late_o grow_v be_v visible_a to_o all_o i_o be_o not_o for_o your_o sheathe_n the_o sword_n of_o justice_n in_o their_o bowel_n such_o severity_n become_v romanist_n best_o yet_o let_v they_o know_v you_o have_v one_o and_o that_o you_o dare_v draw_v it_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o faith_n you_o own_o which_o be_v true_o ancient_a catholic_n and_o apostolical_a 2._o the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n that_o this_o day_n be_v of_o divine_a institution_n and_o ground_v on_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v express_o assert_v in_o the_o homily_n of_o the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o prayer_n in_o these_o word_n whatsoever_o be_v find_v in_o the_o commandment_n appertain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o a_o thing_n most_o godly_a most_o just_a and_o needful_a for_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o god_n glory_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v retain_v and_o keep_v of_o all_o good_a christian_a people_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o commandment_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o time_n as_o one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n wherein_o one_o ought_v to_o rest_n yea_o from_o our_o lawful_a and_o needful_a work_n for_o likeas_a it_o appear_v by_o this_o commandment_n that_o no_o man_n in_o the_o six_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v slothful_a or_o idle_a but_o diligent_o to_o labour_v in_o that_o state_n wherein_o god_n have_v set_v he_o even_o so_o god_n have_v give_v express_a charge_n to_o all_o man_n that_o upon_o the_o sabbath-day_n which_o be_v now_o our_o sunday_n they_o shall_v cease_v from_o all_o weekly_a and_o work-day_n labour_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o likeas_a god_n himself_o wrought_v six_o day_n and_o rest_v the_o â—eventh_o and_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v it_o even_o so_o god_n obedient_a people_n shall_v use_v the_o sunday_n holy_o not_o in_o sport_n and_o play_n and_o rest_v from_o their_o common_a and_o daily_a business_n and_o also_o give_v themselves_o whole_o not_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o to_o heavenly_a exercise_n of_o god_n true_a religion_n and_o service_n so_o that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o command_v the_o observation_n of_o this_o holiday_n but_o also_o by_o his_o own_o example_n do_v stir_v and_o provoke_v we_o to_o the_o diligent_a keep_n of_o the_o same_o if_o we_o will_v be_v the_o child_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o keep_v the_o christian_a sabbath-day_n which_o be_v the_o sunday_n not_o only_o for_o that_o it_o be_v god_n express_a commandment_n but_o also_o to_o declare_v ourselves_o to_o be_v love_a child_n in_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o gracious_a lord_n and_o father_n in_o which_o word_n we_o may_v observe_v 1._o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v perpetual_o to_o be_v keep_v holy_a 2._o that_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lordsday_n be_v ground_v upon_o and_o command_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n this_o testimony_n i_o have_v urge_v to_o check_v those_o who_o confident_o preach_v and_o print_v too_o contrary_a to_o their_o own_o subscription_n that_o our_o sabbath_n have_v only_o the_o church_n authority_n to_o support_v it_o and_o have_v no_o better_a name_n than_o judaic_a precisian_n for_o the_o strict_a observer_n of_o it_o but_o let_v i_o further_o add_v and_o it_o be_v what_o i_o main_o intend_v that_o the_o devout_a and_o conscientious_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n be_v the_o support_n of_o religion_n a_o great_a divine_a tell_v we_o the_o commandment_n for_o the_o sabbath_n be_v put_v in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o first_o and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o table_n to_o denote_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o both_o table_n depend_v much_o upon_o the_o sanctification_n of_o this_o day_n and_o another_o observe_v that_o religion_n be_v just_a as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v it_o decay_v or_o grow_v as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v esteem_v it_o flourish_v in_o a_o due_a veneration_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o it_o pine_v and_o consume_v when_o the_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v i_o never_o know_v any_o place_n or_o person_n eminent_a for_o piety_n that_o be_v not_o careful_a in_o the_o sanctification_n of_o this_o day_n my_o next_o request_n therefore_o right_a honourable_a and_o worshipful_a be_v that_o you_o will_v unanimous_o and_o zealous_o endeavour_v to_o promote_v the_o strict_a observation_n of_o our_o christian_a sabbath_n let_v not_o the_o notorious_a profaner_n of_o it_o escape_v unpunished_a i_o will_v not_o further_o oppress_v your_o patience_n only_o crave_v your_o patronage_n and_o favourable_a acceptance_n of_o this_o treatise_n and_o a_o thankful_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o great_a obligation_n you_o have_v lay_v upon_o i_o that_o god_n will_v incline_v your_o heart_n to_o contribute_v your_o utmost_a

only_o to_o instruct_v common_a christian_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o in_o a_o plain_a way_n in_o discover_v their_o corruption_n superstition_n and_o idolatry_n i_o have_v use_v all_o sincerity_n
