will_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o primitive_a church_n for_o he_o say_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o decree_n concern_v holy_a day_n of_o which_o number_n the_o

since_o we_o see_v they_o and_o say_v they_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o prove_v the_o point_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v this_o i_o suppose_v they_o that_o first_o set_v their_o

but_o miselike_v this_o they_o judge_v it_o better_o to_o have_v it_o stand_v by_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o have_v use_v their_o wit_n to_o wrest_v these_o scripture_n thitherwards_o so_o now_o they_o have_v father_v the_o matter_n all_o upon_o god_n and_o make_v this_o lord_n day_n a_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o get_v the_o more_o honour_n unto_o it_o this_o dare_v not_o s._n

now_o if_o it_o prove_v but_o a_o tradition_n they_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o romish_a rubbish_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o clean_o sweep_v out_o of_o the_o reform_a church_n an_o other_o

that_o so_o way_n may_v be_v make_v for_o holy_a exercise_n then_o so_o it_o be_v enjoin_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n also_o for_o when_o the_o second_o commandment_n injoin_v god_n worship_n it_o necessary_o infer_v a_o rest_n and_o cessation_n from_o how_o shall_v and_o field_n work_v from_o merchandize_v buy_v and_o sell_v that_o so_o man_n may_v be_v at_o liberty_n &_o freedom_n to_o

the_o four_o con_v in_o this_o point_n be_v but_o a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n of_o what_o be_v else_o where_o enjoin_v in_o other_o of_o the_o 10_o commandment_n the_o three_o &_o
