A53192	The doctrine of the Fourth Commandement, deformed by popery, reformed & restored to its primitive purity wherein is clearely proved by Scripture, arguments, and reasons, that the seventh day of the week, and not the first, viz. the day called Saturday (and not the day called Sunday) is the true Christian Sabbath ... / objections answered, and the truth cleared, by Gods unworthy servant, J.O.

do_v god_n or_o christ_n ever_o sanctify_v that_o day_n to_o that_o end_n as_o many_o do_v imagine_v nor_o never_o institute_v nor_o command_v his_o church_n to_o observe_v it_o in_o stead_n of_o

any_o man_n deceive_v thou_o or_o cause_v thou_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o christian_a church_n to_o assemhle_v every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o perform_v

of_o the_o week_n can_v be_v of_o a_o divine_a institution_n because_o then_o the_o law_n which_o command_v the_o seven_o day_n rest_n will_v cross_v the_o gospel_n institution_n contrary_a to_o
