a_o new_a day_n of_o which_o david_n say_v this_o be_v the_o day_n which_o the_o lord_n make_v let_v we_o rejoice_v and_o exult_v therein_o for_o upon_o that_o day_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

abstain_v from_o no_o sort_n of_o labour_n upon_o the_o sabaoth_n but_o from_o the_o most_o servile_a sort_n of_o labour_n this_o custom_n continue_v long_o in_o the_o church_n till_o it_o be_v abrogate_a by_o degree_n for_o by_o the_o 22_o canon_n of_o the_o say_a council_n of_o laodicea_n the_o christian_n be_v forbid_v to_o work_v upon_o the_o sabaoth_n nevertheless_o the_o sacred_a

a_o licence_n to_o work_v there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o repair_v to_o church_n moreover_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v lawful_a in_o abessinia_n to_o marry_v the_o

shall_v assert_v that_o the_o law_n of_o polygamy_n and_o divorce_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o jew_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a i_o must_v confess_v that_o they_o abstain_v from_o
