Declaring first from what things God would haue vs straightly to rest vpon the Lords day, and then by what meanes we ought publikely and priuatly to sanctifie the same: together with the sundry abuses of our time in both these kindes, and how they ought to bee reformed.

to_o rest_v but_o that_o even_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n though_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a worldly_a thing_n in_o it_o own_o nature_n yet_o be_v a_o singular_a part_n of_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n
