ây_a soul_n he_o have_v sâewed_v thou_o o_o man_n what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n require_v of_o thou_o but_o to_o do_v just_o and_o to_o love_v mercy_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o

matter_n be_v the_o good_a keep_n of_o the_o sabbath-day_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o sabbath_n i_o know_v not_o a_o better_a way_n then_o to_o open_v brief_o the_o four_o command_n wâich_a i_o shall_v do_v by_o lay_v it_o out_o into_o six_o part_n 1._o here_o be_v the_o preface_n in_o this_o word_n remember_v the_o sabbath-day_n to_o show_v the_o great_a weight_n and_o worth_n of_o the_o sabbath_n oâ_n our_o proneness_n to_o âlight_v it_o and_o to_o establish_v a_o perpetual_a and_o careful_a preparation_n to_o the_o sabbath_n neh._n 13.19_o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n begin_v to_o be_v dark_a before_o the_o sabbath_n i_o command_v that_o the_o gate_n shall_v be_v shut_v and_o charge_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v open_v till_o after_o the_o sabbath_n and_o some_o of_o my_o servant_n set_v i_o at_o the_o gate_n that_o there_o shall_v no_o burden_n be_v bring_v in_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o here_o be_v the_o affirmative_a part_n of_o the_o command_n wherein_o we_o be_v command_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a sabbath_n holy_a both_o in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n isa._n 58.13_o if_o thou_o turn_v away_o thy_o foot_n from_o the_o sabbath_n from_o do_v thy_o pleasure_n on_o my_o holy_a day_n and_o call_v the_o sabbath_n â_o delight_n the_o holy_a of_o the_o lord_n honourable_a and_o shall_v honour_v he_o not_o do_v thy_o own_o way_n nor_o find_v thy_o own_o pleasure_n nor_o speak_v thy_o own_o word_n 3._o here_o be_v a_o exact_a distribution_n of_o all_o time_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n wherein_o god_n have_v appoint_v six_o part_n or_o day_n to_o man_n and_o the_o seven_o part_n be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v change_v from_o the_o lâst_o of_o seven_o to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n have_v change_v it_o 1_o cor._n 16_o 2ââ_n act_v 20.7_o rev._n 1.10_o and_o when_o this_o change_n be_v first_o make_v the_o church_n keep_v two_o sabbath_n together_o as_o the_o passover_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v together_o 4._o here_o be_v the_o negative_a part_n of_o this_o command_n wherein_o we_o be_v forbid_v all_o our_o own_o work_n in_o that_o word_n or_o deed_n thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n oâ_n work_n 5_o here_o be_v the_o person_n that_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n all_o high_a and_o low_a rich_a and_o poor_a male_a and_o female_a in_o all_o society_n ând_v relation_n and_o stranger_n thou_o thy_o son_n thy_o âaughter_n thy_o manservant_n thy_o maid-servant_n thy_o cattle_n and_o thy_o stranger_n 6._o here_o be_v three_o reason_n to_o urge_v we_o to_o a_o reverend_a and_o careful_a keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n 1._o take_a from_o god_n most_o holy_a and_o wise_a example_n who_o six_o day_n create_v but_o on_o the_o sâventh_o dây_n rest_v in_o his_o heavenly_a joy_n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v put_v a_o blessing_n on_o the_o head_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o on_o all_o that_o keep_v it_o holy_a he_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n make_v it_o holy_a he_o dedicate_v it_o to_o holy_a use_n aâd_v therefore_o may_v not_o be_v violate_v without_o sacrilege_n mal._n 3.8_o will_v you_o rob_v god_n thus_o have_v i_o open_v this_o command_n will._n i_o will_v only_o add_v two_o text_n of_o scripture_n jer_n 17.19_o to_o the_o end_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n unto_o i_o go_v and_o stand_v in_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o people_n whereby_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n come_v in_o and_o by_o the_o which_o they_o go_v out_o and_o in_o all_o tâe_v gate_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o hear_v you_o the_o word_n of_o the_o
