and_o hereby_o be_v we_o deliver_v from_o that_o anxious_a solicitude_n about_o particular_a instance_n in_o outward_a duty_n which_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o people_n of_o

our_o step_n for_o our_o hurt_n but_o remember_v that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n one_o who_o tie_v we_o not_o up_o to_o rigid_a exactness_n in_o outward_a thing_n while_o we_o act_v in_o a_o holy_a

of_o our_o heart_n wherewith_o we_o serve_v he_o than_o the_o mere_a performance_n of_o outward_a duty_n which_o be_v alone_o so_o far_o accept_v with_o he_o as_o they_o be_v expression_n and_o

the_o especial_a effect_n of_o spiritual_a liberty_n so_o the_o prophet_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v call_v the_o sabbath_n our_o delight_n holy_a and_o honourable_a of_o the_o lord_n isa._n 58._o

our_o own_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o lord_n some_o time_n god_n will_v have_v to_o himself_o from_o all_o that_o own_o he_o in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v that_o time_n season_n or_o day_n he_o esteem_v not_o himself_o acknowledge_v nor_o his_o sovereignty_n own_v in_o the_o world_n without_o it_o and_o therefore_o this_o day_n of_o rest_n he_o require_v the_o first_o day_n as_o it_o

be_v we_o to_o give_v glory_n to_o he_o what_o god_n rest_v in_o he_o require_v that_o through_o it_o we_o shall_v seek_v for_o our_o rest_n in_o he_o as_o this_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n in_o

the_o bring_n of_o we_o to_o rest_n in_o god_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o own_o and_o subscribe_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o declaration_n that_o god_n have_v make_v of_o himself_o
