another_o thing_n be_v do_v viz._n the_o establish_n also_o of_o the_o law_n of_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o after_o six_o of_o labour_n wherefore_o in_o the_o reason_n confirm_v the_o commandment_n god_n seem_v to_o have_v reference_n to_o this_o institution_n but_o so_o that_o he_o make_v it_o manifest_a he_o look_v not_o to_o that_o period_n but_o to_o the_o number_n and_o order_n of_o the_o

it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o that_o institution_n and_o the_o lord_n reason_n be_v not_o this_o what_o day_n i_o rest_v that_o thou_o must_v rest_v but_o i_o rest_v the_o seven_o from_o the_o creation_n therefore_o so_o must_v thou_o but_o thus_o what_o day_n i_o upon_o occasion_n of_o my_o labour_a six_o and_o rest_v the_o seven_o do_v bless_v and_o sanctify_v that_o day_n thou_o

as_o the_o word_n before_o express_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n only_o therefore_o thou_o must_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o so_o then_o this_o reason_n i_o take_v to_o be_v full_o answer_v and_o for_o our_o better_a satisfaction_n we_o must_v know_v that_o we_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n just_o according_a to_o this_o commandment_n word_n for_o word_n in_o that_o we_o labour_v six_o and_o rest_v the_o seven_o and_o so_o must_v do_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o that_o we_o have_v take_v up_o a_o new_a reckon_n from_o a_o new_a period_n even_o the_o resurrection_n we_o have_v it_o from_o christ_n appointment_n as_o be_v plain_o show_v we_o because_o this_o day_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n that_o be_v the_o day_n which_o he_o appoint_v to_o be_v keep_v

name_n be_v signify_v to_o be_v also_o from_o he_o and_o to_o he_o and_o so_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o because_o man_n do_v labour_n six_o and_o rest_v the_o seven_o we_o do_v eternize_v the_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n according_a to_o this_o four_o commandment_n and_o because_o we_o reckon_v from_o the_o resurrection_n we_o do_v also_o eternize_v
