it_o then_o in_o any_o other_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o sabbath_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o solemn_a than_o other_o feast_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o no_o man_n be_v forbid_v bodily_a labour_n this_o day_n which_o they_o be_v on_o sunday_n and_o other_o great_a festivity_n therefore_o you_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v inferior_a to_o they_o second_o one_o feast_n be_v more_o solemn_a than_o another_o because_o more_o ceremony_n be_v use_v in_o it_o they_o in_o other_o thus_o though_o the_o sabbath_n be_v absolute_o the_o chief_a feast_n of_o the_o jew_n yet_o in_o this_o respect_n without_o prejudice_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o sabbath_n every_o feast_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v great_a than_o the_o sabbath_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v all_o more_o ceremony_n belong_v to_o they_o by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n to_o grant_v then_o that_o we_o have_v more_o ceremony_n in_o the_o divine_a service_n this_o day_n then_o on_o christmas_n day_n do_v not_o argue_v this_o solemnity_n great_a than_o it_o three_o one_o feast_n be_v more_o solemn_a they_o another_o because_o more_o assemble_v together_o for_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o feast_n thus_o the_o three_o feast_n of_o easter_n whit-suntide_a and_o the_o tabernacle_n in_o which_o all_o the_o people_n be_v bind_v to_o ascend_v up_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_fw-la be_v count_v great_a than_o the_o sabbath_n and_o all_o other_o feast_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o no_o man_n be_v force_v by_o law_n to_o this_o solemnity_n and_o few_o solemnize_v it_o but_o the_o better_a sort_n of_o the_o people_n &_o master_n of_o family_n in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o sabbath_n &_o other_o our_o solemn_a feast_n to_o which_o all_o man_n with_o their_o family_n by_o law_n be_v force_v to_o resort_v last_o one_o feast_n be_v more_o solemn_a than_o another_o because_o it_o be_v celebrate_v with_o great_a magnificence_n and_o jot_n
