all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v be_v no_o argument_n to_o prevail_v with_o some_o they_o value_v not_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o law_n of_o their_o creator_n nor_o the_o blood_n nor_o love_n of_o their_o redeemer_n they_o be_v not_o fond_a of_o the_o character_n of_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a but_o they_o aspire_v after_o that_o of_o a_o good_a subject_n though_o i_o profess_v it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o i_o how_o he_o that_o be_v not_o a_o good_a christian_a can_v be_v a_o good_a subject_n but_o this_o title_n and_o character_n they_o be_v proud_a of_o and_o glory_n in_o and_o desire_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v account_v good_a subject_n well_o but_o tell_v i_o you_o that_o be_v ambitious_a of_o this_o title_n and_o be_v so_o little_a fond_a of_o that_o of_o a_o

keep_v the_o sabbath_n but_o to_o break_v and_o profane_v it_o be_v to_o break_v the_o king_n law_n to_o trespass_v against_o the_o law_n of_o our_o temporal_a governor_n which_o enjoin_v the_o pious_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o repeat_v sanction_n of_o parliament_n under_o penalty_n to_o be_v inflict_v on_o the_o violater_n of_o it_o so_o that_o in_o a_o word_n sabbath-breaker_n be_v neither_o good_a christian_n nor_o good_a subject_n 5._o my_o five_o and_o last_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o due_a and_o
