else_o our_o rest_n be_v but_o the_o rest_n of_o brute_n beast_n and_o our_o work_n the_o work_n of_o profane_a man_n and_o hypocrite_n so_o that_o on_o the_o sabbath_n our_o rest_n must_v give_v

four_o commandment_n where_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n or_o to_o sanctify_v it_o with_o a_o holy_a rest_n by_o which_o be_v not_o mean_v a_o bare_a rest_n no_o more_o then_o by_o

i_o answer_v that_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v so_o but_o if_o god_n please_v to_o alter_v their_o nature_n he_o may_v thus_o he_o dispose_v of_o the_o temple_n for_o a_o time_n and_o the_o
