and_o judaical_a then_o to_o esteem_v a_o temple_n holy_a than_o a_o private_a house_n and_o the_o instrument_n vessel_n and_o clothes_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o ministration_n of_o sacrament_n more_o holy_a than_o other_o common_a instrument_n and_o vessel_n these_o we_o call_v holy_a only_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o separation_n from_o a_o common_a use_n to_o a_o religious_a so_o this_o

answer_v that_o the_o anniversarie_n day_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v abolish_v in_o every_o respect_n for_o which_o by_o they_o they_o be_v observe_v and_o so_o be_v the_o weekly_a and_o monthly_a day_n but_o as_o the_o weekly_a and_o monthly_a course_n be_v not_o the_o respect_n for_o which_o the_o sabbath_n and_o new-moon_n be_v abolish_v no_o more_o be_v the_o anniversarie_n revolution_n of_o the_o feast_n the_o respect_n wherefore_o they_o be_v abrogate_v but_o because_o they_o be_v shadow_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o remembrance_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n as_o of_o their_o

upon_o this_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o anniversarie_n day_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v abolish_v be_v a_o caption_n à_fw-la non_fw-la causa_fw-la pro_fw-la causa_fw-la for_o the_o
