because_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o build_v up_o ourselves_o in_o both_o we_o must_v neglect_v no_o mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v attain_v unto_o our_o full_a growth_n in_o

not_o spend_v away_o the_o time_n in_o a_o profane_a mirth_n as_o many_o time_n we_o have_v do_v yet_o there_o be_v
great_a cause_n of_o humiliation_n for_o not_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o by_o sing_v psalm_n unto_o that_o spiritual_a mirth_n whereby_o we_o may_v have_v be_v more_o cheerful_o occupy_v in_o god_n
