day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n why_o may_v not_o the_o sabbath_n be_v think_v to_o be_v a_o seven_o day_n 1._o our_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v call_v a_o sabbath_n because_o it_o be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o our_o true_a sabbath_n and_o rest_n which_o be_v christ_n as_o the_o jew_n corporal_a rest_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n of_o our_o spiritual_a rest_n in_o christ_n and_o

for_o so_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v call_v the_o passover_n yet_o we_o know_v christ_n only_o be_v the_o true_a passover_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 7._o so_o the_o rock_n
