such_o time_n have_v command_v cessation_n from_o ordinary_a trade_n both_o before_o and_o after_o noon_n that_o so_o the_o people_n may_v frequent_v the_o assembly_n i_o hope_v no_o other_o purpose_n

we_o have_v preach_v and_o public_a rejoice_v the_o 5._o day_n of_o august_n and_o november_n for_o that_o double_a deliverance_n of_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_n who_o the_o lord_n may_v long_o

be_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n but_o the_o benefit_n we_o remember_v which_o no_o good_a christian_n will_v clery_o shall_v be_v do_v sure_o it_o be_v he_o be_v bear_v die_v upon_o good_a

christian_n have_v his_o own_o day_n choose_v by_o himself_o some_o for_o fast_v some_o for_o thanksgiving_n for_o particular_a benefit_n what_o a_o private_a christian_a may_v lawful_o do_v you_o make_v it_o unlawful_a a_o christian_a church_n to_o do_v special_o where_o we_o go_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n with_o all_o the_o present_a reform_a church_n in_o europe_n in_o france_n their_o most_o notable_a preacher_n give_v the_o communion_n on_o that_o day_n as_o do_v also_o the_o ancient_a primitive_a church_n throughout_o the_o world_n as_o testify_v s._n augustine_n in_o

that_o which_o be_v substantial_a or_o real_a in_o religion_n and_o that_o which_o be_v circumstantial_a or_o ritual_a a_o point_n substantial_a must_v have_v a_o express_a warrant_n in_o the_o word_n
