have_v please_v our_o sovereign_n and_o creator_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o portion_n of_o our_o time_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o to_o indulge_v the_o rest_n to_o we_o to_o be_v employ_v according_a

the_o first_o can_v be_v mean_v here_o because_o the_o circumstance_n of_o a_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o be_v make_v holy_a by_o the_o infusion_n of_o habitual_a holiness_n whereof_o only_o intelligent_a creature_n man_n and_o angel_n be_v it_o must_v therefore_o be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v in_o regard_n of_o its_o separation_n from_o common_a use_n and_o dedication_n to_o holy_a use_n as_o the_o temple_n be_v which_o have_v no_o inherent_a holiness_n be_v thus_o dedicate_v for_o a_o holy_a use_n it_o must_v be_v either_o for_o god_n use_n or_o man_n

a_o holy_a day_n will_v bring_v upon_o god_n must_v needs_o by_o ass_n we_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v for_o man_n use_n for_o he_o to_o observe_v it_o as_o holy_a unto_o god_n this_o day_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v of_o god_n that_o man_n may_v sanctify_v it_o and_o dedicate_v it_o unto_o god_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o man_n can_v never_o have_v lawful_o dedicate_v it_o unto_o god_n without_o a_o foregoing_a institution_n from_o god_n so_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n imply_v a_o know_a command_n give_v by_o god_n

which_o have_v be_v sufficient_o discover_v by_o many_o worthy_a and_o learned_a divine_n only_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o evidence_n that_o god_n himself_o have_v interpose_v in_o the_o determination_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o time_n for_o his_o service_n in_o that_o he_o have_v set_v apart_o a_o seven_o part_n of_o man_n time_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o herein_o we_o may_v observe_v god_n infinite_a goodness_n and_o condescension_n of_o love_n if_o god_n have_v ask_v man_n how_o much_o time_n he_o will_v willing_o allow_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o his_o maker_n who_o
