and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v of_o itself_o a_o service_n of_o our_o christian_a religion_n because_o it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o all_o the_o type_n of_o that_o time_n

wherefore_o i_o pray_v if_o all_o other_o type_n be_v abolish_v ought_v the_o sabbath_n only_o to_o continue_v see_v it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o rest_n figure_v to_o
