of_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n the_o friday_n because_o of_o christ_n his_o passion_n loe_o here_o then_o be_v two_o day_n in_o a_o week_n sanctify_v the_o friday_n &_o the_o sunday_n and_o that_o without_o difference_n now_o who_o that_o read_v this_o can_v think_v that_o the_o church_n in_o constantins_n time_n keep_v the_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n unless_o he_o shall_v absurd_o think_v that_o they_o keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n the_o friday_n &_o the_o sunday_n it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o they_o keep_v they_o both_o but_o as_o we_o keep_v some_o light_a holy_a day_n nor_o do_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n exalte_v the_o lord_n day_n any_o high_a than_o do_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o passion_n exalte_v the_o friday_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o esteem_v the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o constantins_n time_n iii_o my_o three_o testimony_n shall_v be_v that_o whereof_o we_o read_v in_o socrates_n his_o ecclesiastical_a history_n lib._n 5._o cap._n 21._o where_o he_o thus_o write_v the_o drift_n say_v he_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o lay_v down_o canon_n &_o decree_n concern_v feast_n &_o holy_a day_n but_o to_o become_v pattern_n unto_o we_o of_o piety_n of_o good_a life_n &_o godly_a conversation_n whereas_o there_o be_v great_a contention_n at_o this_o time_n to_o prove_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n institute_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n this_o historian_n will_v determine_v the_o controversy_n for_o we_o if_o we_o 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 lord_n day_n be_v one_o and_o what_o he_o say_v here_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o same_o also_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o say_v of_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o make_v no_o law_n for_o the_o church_n to_o celebrate_v the_o feast_n of_o easter_n etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o antiquity_n that_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v ever_o appoint_v easter_n day_n which_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n nor_o any_o other_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v for_o sabbath_n i_o deny_v not_o for_o all_o this_o that_o those_o time_n give_v any_o respect_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o other_o holy_a day_n but_o this_o only_a i_o deny_v that_o they_o sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n as_o divine_o institute_v and_o appoint_v by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n but_o rather_o as_o from_o the_o same_o authority_n from_o &_o by_o which_o they_o sanctify_v other_o holy_a day_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o wit_n from_o &_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n iv_o my_o fowrth_a testimony_n shall_v be_v the_o judgement_n of_o s._n augustine_n who_o in_o his_o 118_o epistle_n de_fw-la festis_fw-la diebus_fw-la thus_o write_v but_o as_o for_o those_o

as_o the_o anniversary_n celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n the_o resurrection_n &_o the_o ascension_n etc._n etc._n in_o which_o passage_n we_o note_v these_o particular_n 1._o that_o s._n augustine_n account_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o thing_n receive_v by_o tradition_n 2._o that_o its_o institution_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o he_o say_v which_o we_o observe_v by_o tradition_n not_o by_o wright_v etc._n etc._n 3._o that_o s._n augustine_n be_v doubtful_a &_o uncertain_a whither_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o tradition_n receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n or_o from_o counsel_n 4._o that_o s._n augustine_n rekon_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o resurrection_n to_o be_v of_o no_o better_a nor_o high_a authority_n then_o be_v good_a friday_n &_o hallow_n thursday_n the_o feast_n of_o christ_n passion_n &_o ascension_n we_o may_v as_o well_o therefore_o by_o s._n augustins_n judgement_n sanctify_v every_o friday_n and_o every_o thursday_n for_o sabbath_n throughout_o the_o year_n as_o every_o lord_n day_n for_o they_o have_v all_o three_o the_o same_o original_n &_o selfsame_o ground_n &_o authority_n for_o they_o be_v all_o tradition_n &_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o doubtful_a whither_o from_o the_o apostle_n or_o from_o counsel_n by_o the_o way_n since_o s._n augustine_n know_v no_o scripture_n for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n how_o come_v it_o about_o i_o marvel_v that_o many_o in_o our_o day_n have_v find_v out_o so_o many_o scripture_n for_o it_o we_o have_v now_o this_o text_n of_o scripture_n joh._n 20.19.26_o witness_v that_o christ_n do_v often_o appear_v unto_o his_o disciple_n on_o this_o day_n another_o text_n we_o have_v for_o it_o act._n 20.7_o where_o s._n paul_n preach_v a_o sermon_n at_o troas_n on_o this_o day_n an_o other_o text_n we_o have_v find_v out_o 1._o cor._n 16.2_o where_o there_o be_v a_o collection_n for_o the_o poor_a on_o this_o day_n and_o yet_o a_o other_o text_n we_o have_v revel_v 1.10_o where_o this_o day_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n i_o marvel_v s._n augustine_n and_o his_o time_n shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o not_o to_o see_v these_o text_n as_o warrantable_a institution_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o become_v a_o sabbath_n 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 wit_n on_o work_n to_o find_v a_o divine_a institution_n for_o this_o lord_n day_n they_o see_v nothing_o but_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o holy_a day_n 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 augustin_n do_v but_o he_o more_o ingenuous_o plain_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v as_o indeed_o &_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n &_o of_o equal_a authority_n for_o its_o sanctification_n with_o good_a friday_n hallow_n thursday_n &_o other_o holy_a day_n to_o conclude_v well_o we_o may_v make_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n what_o esteem_v we_o will_v but_o yet_o you_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o tradition_n a_o popish_a tradition_n &_o as_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o s._n augustine_n so_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o confirm_v by_o other_o also_o by_o &_o by_o 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 testimony_n of_o s._n augustine_n i_o find_v in_o his_o work_n contra_fw-la adimant_n cap._n 16._o where_o he_o thus_o write_v for_o we_o also_o do_v celebrate_v both_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o the_o

augustine_n say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n indeed_o in_o his_o time_n &_o in_o that_o church_n but_o how_o they_o keep_v it_o much_o like_a as_o they_o keep_v other_o holy_a day_n and_o festival_n for_o say_v he_o non_fw-la tempora_fw-la observamus_fw-la we_o regard_v not_o the_o time_n etc._n etc._n ay_o but_o do_v the_o lord_n day_n stand_v by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n then_o s._n augustine_n will_v have_v regard_v the_o time_n for_o he_o must_v have_v regard_v that_o very_a day_n if_o christ_n have_v ordain_v it_o &_o do_v the_o lord_n day_n stand_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o com._n then_o s._n augustine_n must_v have_v observe_v the_o time_n for_o the_o day_n &_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v no_o less_o enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o com._n then_o rest_n from_o labour_n &_o holy_a exercise_n how_o can_v man_n that_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v say_v to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o time_n if_o the_o time_n be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a therefore_o that_o s._n augustine_n &_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o his_o time_n do_v not_o believe_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v institute_v by_o christ_n or_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v

sanctify_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o com._n i_o can_v allege_v other_o testimony_n out_o of_o s._n augustine_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a v._o so_o much_o for_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o ancient_n &_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o the_o first_o 400_o year_n &_o upward_o i_o come_v now_o unto_o our_o late_a time_n my_o 5_o testimony_n then_o shall_v be_v that_o of_o peter_n martyr_v cite_v by_o marlorate_a in_o his_o commentaryon_n 1_o cor._n 16.2_o who_o thus_o write_v like_a as_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v celebrate_v by_o the_o law_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o be_v now_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o use_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o when_o this_o change_n &_o alteration_n be_v make_v we_o have_v it_o not_o express_v

the_o church_n it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o this_o holy_a man_n account_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n only_o and_o a_o civil_a thing_n &_o keep_v only_o for_o

of_o brentius_n in_o levit._n 23.2_o record_v by_o doctor_n bownde_v in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o sabbath_n pag._n 109._o thus_o say_v he_o the_o kepe_v holy_a of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o

presence_n make_v none_o furthermore_o that_o we_o may_v break_v the_o back_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n constancy_n i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o first_o and_o most_o famous_a lord_n day_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n then_o live_v with_o christ_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n christ_n and_o his_o church_n do_v not_o assemble_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o it_o be_v past_a or_o never_o end_v joh._n 20.19_o their_o first_o meeting_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o their_o second_o meeting_n be_v 8._o day_n after_o joh._n 20.26_o and_o their_o three_o when_o they_o go_v to_o fish_v joh._n 21.1.14_o now_o assembly_n &_o congregation_n be_v sabbath_n duty_n levit._n 23.2.3_o wherefore_o since_o the_o minister_n &_o people_n christ_n &_o his_o disciple_n meet_v not_o all_o the_o day_n long_o to_o solemnize_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n until_o evening_n &_o the_o day_n be_v now_o spend_v &_o pass_v therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o they_o can_v not_o assemble_v soon_o in_o the_o day_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n joh._n 20.19_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v more_o likely_a they_o dare_v not_o stir_v abroad_o all_o day_n long_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n &_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o jew_n therefore_o they_o keep_v close_o all_o the_o day_n long_o together_o in_o the_o house_n and_o so_o they_o be_v assemble_v all_o the_o day_n but_o like_o sheep_n without_o their_o shepherd_n 2._o my_o second_o argument_n wherewith_o i_o prove_v it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v because_o they_o do_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o this_o purpose_n see_v mark_n 16.11.9_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v that_o christ_n appear_v first_o unto_o mary_n magdalene_n &_o the_o text_n say_v that_o she_o go_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o have_v be_v with_o christ_n which_o mourn_v and_o weep_v and_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v appear_v to_o she_o they_o beleened_a it_o not_o again_o see_v mark_n 16.13_o where_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o travail_v in_o to_o the_o country_n &_o how_o christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o also_o and_o the_o text_n say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o go_v and_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o remnant_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o last_o see_v mar._n 16.14_o where_o the_o text_n say_v final_o he_o appear_v unto_o the_o eleven_o as_o they_o sit_v together_o and_o reproach_v they_o for_o their_o unbelief_n &_o hardness_n of_o heart_n because_o they_o bleeve_v not_o they_o which_o have_v see_v he_o be_v rise_v up_o again_o s._n luke_n report_v it_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v mary_n magdalene_n etc._n etc._n which_o tell_v these_o thing_n unto_o the_o apostle_n but_o their_o word_n say_v the_o text_n seem_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o feign_a thing_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o luk._n 24.10.11_o so_o by_o all_o these_o testimony_n you_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o resurrection_n through_o unbelief_n not_o the_o eleven_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v believe_v it_o now_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o how_o these_o apostle_n with_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o disciple_n can_v sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n when_o as_o they_o know_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o when_o they_o believe_v it_o not_o yea_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o mourn_v and_o weep_v still_o mark_n 16.10_o and_o that_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emmaus_n they_o have_v communication_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v sade_n luk._n 24.17_o which_o sadness_n mourning_n and_o weep_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n yea_o when_o the_o day_n be_v fatr_n spend_v luk._n 24.29_o bewray_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n resurrection_n how_o then_o i_o marvel_v can_v they_o keep_v that_o lord_n day_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n in_o a_o joyful_a &_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n when_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o apparent_a that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o and_o weekly_o in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o apostle_n for_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v neglect_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v how_o confident_a our_o minister_n be_v that_o this_o lord_n day_n be_v constant_o keep_v by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n in_o so_o much_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o puritan_n minister_n that_o have_v avowch_v it_o that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o life_n &_o die_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o day_n whither_o i_o may_v believe_v they_o or_o not_o i_o can_v tell_v i_o shall_v think_v they_o will_v look_v before_o they_o leap_v as_o the_o proverb_n be_v great_a be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o say_v &_o do_v i_o will_v fain_o believe_v they_o though_o but_o this_o i_o resolve_v if_o they_o prove_v so_o good_a as_o their_o word_n &_o be_v so_o vain_o prodigal_a of_o their_o life_n they_o shall_v never_o have_v my_o life_n in_o keep_v will_v our_o minister_n die_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sanctification_n when_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o profane_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o matter_n as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v as_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v i_o trust_v the_o people_n will_v be_v so_o wise_a for_o themselves_o in_o this_o point_n as_o to_o give_v their_o minister_n leave_v to_o die_v first_o but_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v many_o martyr_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n one_o thing_n will_v be_v note_v more_o before_o we_o leave_v this_o point_n it_o be_v suppose_v that_o christ_n touch_v the_o redemption_n do_v imitate_v god_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n thereof_o well_o let_v we_o see_v how_o like_a or_o rather_o unlike_a christ_n be_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n at_o the_o creation_n god_n choose_v the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v but_o we_o have_v see_v it_o plain_o prove_v that_o christ_n choose_v not_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v 2._o god_n rest_v himself_o on_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n travail_v up_o &_o down_o the_o country_n too_o and_o fro_o on_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n 3._o god_n give_v a_o special_a come_v the_o four_o come_v for_o the_o church_n to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n leave_v not_o come_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n 4._o god_n persuade_v his_o church_n by_o strong_a reason_n to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n take_v from_o his_o own_o example_n because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o because_o he_o bless_a &_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n never_o persuade_v his_o church_n by_o any_o reason_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n nor_o by_o his_o example_n nay_o rather_o he_o dissuade_v they_o from_o sanctify_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o his_o example_n &_o by_o the_o example_n of_o his_o disciple_n record_v in_o scripture_n for_o they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n show_v we_o thereby_o that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o like_a forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o we_o have_v not_o come_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o lord_n day_n we_o be_v leave_v to_o follow_v example_n now_o i_o find_v the_o example_n of_o

christ_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n far_o unlike_a to_o the_o example_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v as_o unlike_a on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o the_o example_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o christ_n be_v against_o this_o some_o minister_n object_n thus_o that_o happy_o the_o new_a sabbath_n be_v not_o

of_o christ_n his_o death_n as_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v of_o which_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o now_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o christ_n can_v pass_v over_o

the_o like_a as_o some_o infant-like-man_n imagine_v this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o institute_v for_o a_o sabbath_n whither_o i_o marvel_v then_o will_v they_o run_v for_o a_o institution_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o word_n of_o institution_n nor_o of_o any_o practice_n or_o example_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n about_o their_o sanctify_v any_o lord_n day_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n until_o pentecost_n day_n act._n 2._o which_o be_v 6_o or_o 7_o week_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n so_o here_o then_o be_v a_o great_a error_n for_o not_o only_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v omit_v for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o also_o there_o be_v no_o foot_n for_o any_o lord_n day_n keep_v like_o a_o sabbath_n for_o 6_o or_o 7_o week_n together_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n thus_o the_o further_a we_o search_v in_o to_o this_o point_n the_o more_o vain_a it_o do_v appear_v in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o

sabbath_n day_n but_o no_o day_n of_o the_o week_n can_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o four_o come_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n only_o therefore_o must_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n as_o for_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n no_o man_n will_v deny_v it_o for_o every_o man_n stand_v to_o maintain_v a_o sabbath_n and_o also_o a_o sabbath_n from_o the_o four_o come_v wherefore_o if_o no_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o can_v be_v sabbath_n by_o the_o 4._o come_v b●t_v the_o seven_o day_n then_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v hold_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o no_o day_n of_o the_o week_n can_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o four_o come_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n only_o and_o this_o i_o prove_v from_o the_o four_o come_v itself_o where_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v we_o to_o work_v all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n save_o the_o seven_o day_n

work_v upon_o every_o one_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n &_o yet_o to_o rest_v from_o work_n upon_o some_o one_o of_o they_o nay_o further_o this_o be_v to_o make_v god_n to_o contradict_v himself_o and_o that_o in_o one_o &_o the_o same_o commandment_n if_o he_o shall_v by_o this_o four_o come_v enjoin_v man_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o 6_o day_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o shall_v enjoin_v man_n in_o the_o same_o commandment_n to_o rest_v from_o work_n in_o one_o of_o those_o 6_o day_n wherefore_o no_o day_n of_o these_o 6_o day_n can_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o god_n four_o come_v this_o be_v most_o plain_a unless_o you_o will_v suppose_v foolish_o that_o god_n shall_v say_v &_o unsay_v it_o again_o with_o the_o same_o breath_n wherefore_o since_o none_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n of_o
