this_o can_v be_v but_o the_o day_n speak_v of_o have_v the_o same_o honourable_a title_n and_o name_n as_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n 4._o that_o the_o

until_o you_o come_v nigh_o to_o our_o day_n take_v mr._n baxter_n own_o word_n it_o be_v unquestionable_a to_o any_o man_n verse_v in_o antiquity_n that_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n greek_n

to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n we_o have_v at_o present_a do_v with_o the_o first_o argument_n as_o it_o respect_v testimony_n 2._o but_o let_v we_o proceed_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o argument_n which_o

unless_o it_o be_v those_o who_o have_v learn_v to_o blaspheme_n the_o minor_a follow_v that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v make_v by_o the_o lord_n above_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o gospel_n time_n and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v 1._o first_o this_o be_v the_o day_n in_o which_o our_o lord_n rise_v
