in_o a_o word_n all_o within_o thy_o gate_n look_v not_o only_o to_o master_n and_o all_o in_o their_o family_n or_o within_o their_o door_n but_o to_o magistrate_n and_o governor_n and_o all_o

beside_o the_o sabbath_n will_v not_o agree_v with_o this_o command_n allow_v man_n six_o for_o labour_n it_o be_v true_a god_n may_v sovereign_o limit_v man_n but_o where_o he_o have_v give_v
