on_o the_o seven_o day_n do_v profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o break_v the_o commandment_n yet_o on_o the_o contrary_a every_o one_o that_o do_v rest_n can_v be_v say_v to_o sanctify_v it_o no_o more_o

one_o when_o yet_o sin_n and_o other_o thing_n which_o may_v seem_v more_o to_o profane_v it_o be_v pass_v over_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o god_n be_v curious_a in_o maintain_v in_o violate_v
