six_o and_o seven_o day_n which_o seven_o day_n be_v call_v the_o sabbath_n throughout_o the_o scripture_n how_o ever_o that_o may_v seem_v to_o the_o doctor_n i_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o call_v

of_o serious_a religion_n and_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o i_o think_v be_v very_o hard_a reflection_n now_o i_o doubt_v that_o not_o only_o the_o romish_a world_n but_o some_o other_o not_o of_o

they_o think_v according_a to_o the_o word_n as_o scrupulous_a and_o as_o stand_v for_o little_a circumstance_n and_o shadow_n and_o so_o conscientious_a lively_a spiritual_n worship_v as_o but_o
