whereof_o the_o sabbath_n be_v none_o again_o i_o say_v if_o this_o institution_n be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v renew_v unto_o the_o israelite_n and_o that_o upon_o the_o primitive_a reason_n which_o indeed_o show_v it_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n give_v unto_o his_o church_n for_o special_a use_n and_o to_o be_v coequal_a with_o the_o law_n of_o
