and_o far_o to_o explain_v this_o matter_n god_n seven_o day_n rest_v after_o his_o six_o creation_n day_n be_v not_o design_v for_o a_o pattern_n to_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v also_o have_v first_o

no_o more_o bound_v before_o and_o after_o with_o a_o sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n pattern_n and_o thus_o our_o gospel_n first-day_n sabbath_n answer_v the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o
