but_o speak_v what_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v direct_v to_o the_o vindication_n of_o it_o and_o here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o solitary_a proof_n that_o we_o bring_v for_o the_o lords-day_n holy_a observation_n for_o than_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v no_o great_a weight_n with_o it_o but_o first_o we_o undertake_v to_o prove_v a_o abolition_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o word_n and_o then_o propose_v the_o first_o day_n as_o bid_v fair_o of_o all_o the_o other_o weekday_n for_o it_o because_o we_o acknowledge_v one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o to_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o to_o be_v positive_o and_o secondary_o moral_a in_o it_o and_o that_o therefore_o there_o lie_v still_o a_o obligation_n upon_o all_o the_o church_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n at_o least_o all_o who_o may_v have_v the_o command_v entire_o

day_n be_v cashier_v the_o first_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v its_o successor_n and_o that_o because_o of_o the_o glorious_a privilege_n of_o this_o day_n above_o all_o other_o of_o the_o week_n whereof_o this_o of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v chief_a because_o this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n the_o redeemer_n enter_v into_o his_o rest_n and_o our_o argument_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v both_o a_o pari_fw-la &_o a_o majori_fw-la from_o equality_n and_o eminence_n equality_n with_o and_o eminency_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n upon_o the_o
