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
