without_o it_o this_o i_o shall_v easy_o evince_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n in_o act_n 13._o 15._o we_o read_v how_o that_o after_o the_o read_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o ruler_n

prepare_v to_o preach_v yet_o for_o certain_a their_o question_n with_o the_o apostle_n whether_o they_o be_v prepare_v do_v show_v that_o they_o do_v not_o hold_v preach_v so_o necessary_a that_o the_o sabbath_n can_v not_o be_v sanctify_v without_o it_o where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v have_v by_o one_o or_o more_o able_a minister_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v he_o preach_v twice_o every_o sabbath_n thrice_o every_o sabbath_n if_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n be_v to_o have_v so_o many_o sermon_n this_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o must_v be_v preach_v every_o sabbath_n day_n in_o every_o congregation_n this_o i_o think_v it_o can_v be_v prove_v some_o minister_n have_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o no_o place_n can_v be_v sanctify_v without_o preach_v of_o sermon_n and_o have_v wrought_v people_n to_o such_o a_o esteem_n of_o sermon_n that_o all_o other_o of_o god_n ordinance_n be_v disesteem_v so_o that_o no_o other_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n can_v find_v any_o place_n in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v admit_v but_o only_a sermon_n yea_o they_o have_v turn_v oratoria_fw-la into_o

of_o able_a and_o painful_a preacher_n that_o sermon_n shall_v be_v preach_v every_o sabbath_n day_n in_o every_o congregation_n for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o

that_o the_o kingdom_n at_o this_o time_n shall_v be_v thus_o happy_a and_o some_o minister_n by_o buzz_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o people_n that_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n in_o every_o congregation_n on_o every_o sabbath-day_n be_v necessary_o require_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v make_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n miserable_a yea_o they_o have_v bring_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n into_o

which_o tend_v more_o to_o edification_n and_o that_o be_v whether_o god_n consecrate_v a_o seven_o day_n to_o himself_o and_o command_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n to_o be_v sanctify_v whether_o this_o
