that_o if_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v not_o of_o itself_o reveal_v to_o we_o as_o man_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o holy_a sabbath_n of_o god_n that_o that_o day_n as_o to_o the_o

for_o another_o day_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v hence_o to_o be_v conclude_v that_o though_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n man_n may_v see_v that_o time_n must_v be_v allow_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o worship_n that_o god_n will_v set_v up_o in_o his_o house_n yet_o as_o such_o it_o can_v not_o see_v what_o time_n the_o lord_n will_v to_o that_o end_n choose_v
