more_o will_v i_o think_v that_o when_o god_n do_v forbid_v work_n of_o our_o ordinary_a vocation_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o allow_v work_n of_o pleasure_n such_o as_o be_v our_o work_n of_o

upon_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v not_o that_o they_o be_v unlawful_a in_o themselves_o but_o because_o they_o destroy_v the_o rest_n and_o take_v up_o the_o mind_n that_o it_o can_v be_v employ_v
