god_n shall_v take_v away_o sabbath_n from_o we_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o in_o all_o good_a christian_n the_o grief_n will_v prove_v the_o delight_n for_o no_o man_n be_v grieve_v to_o lose_v

unto_o carnal_a people_n and_o person_n that_o savour_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n like_o saul_n armour_n to_o david_n they_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o go_v with_o or_o undergo_v matter_n of_o so_o
