himself_o at_o the_o very_a creation_n have_v set_v inviolable_a bound_n for_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o dave_n and_o week_n appoint_v they_o to_o be_v as_o so_o many_o royal_a standard_n for_o the_o limit_v or_o measure_v out_o of_o all_o festival_n occasion_n happen_v on_o they_o and_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o certainty_n as_o i_o have_v manifest_v at_o large_a in_o the_o four_o conclusion_n wherefore_o no_o event_n or_o festival_n happen_v on_o those_o day_n can_v alter_v the_o limit_n or_o beginning_n of_o they_o nor_o make_v they_o long_o or_o short_a no_o more_o than_o

bushel_n or_o length_n of_o the_o yard_n second_o because_o every_o occasion_n that_o may_v cause_v a_o subsequent_a consecration_n of_o a_o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n or_o holy_a day_n and_o so_o christ_n resurrection_n do_v only_o dedicate_v that_o day_n yea_o all_o that_o day_n on_o which_o it_o fall_v not_o part_n of_o that_o day_n and_o part_n of_o the_o day_n ensue_v on_o which_o it_o do_v not_o happen_v therefore_o consecrate_v only_o that_o very_a day_n all_o that_o day_n and_o no_o other_o day_n but_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o begin_v and_o end_n when_o that_o day_n do_v now_o that_o very_a day_n on_o which_o our_o saviour_n arise_v begin_v and_o end_v at_o evening_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v his_o resurrection_n therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o consecrate_v all_o that_o day_n not_o part_n of_o it_o and_o part_n of_o the_o follow_a day_n for_o the_o lordsday_n this_o day_n as_o a_o lordsday_n must_v necessary_o begin_v and_o conclude_v at_o evening_n three_o because_o no_o occasion_n of_o consecrate_v the_o day_n on_o which_o it_o fall_v extend_v in_o point_n of_o consecration_n further_o than_o that_o very_a day_n which_o be_v set_v as_o the_o utmost_a limit_n

the_o christian_n at_o troas_n observe_v this_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o their_o sabbath_n no_o doubt_n but_o this_o their_o meeting_n to_o solemnize_v it_o and_o receive_v the_o

lordsday_n assembly_n and_o solemnity_n on_o saturday_n evening_n solemnize_n it_o from_o evening_n to_o evening_n because_o the_o first_o observer_n of_o it_o do_v so_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o
