the Lords day holy, without doing
any manner of work. You shall no+
idly spend your time bedecking your
selves with superfluities of costly ap-
parel and vain dresses, for have or
dained it a day of rest. I will have
that day kept holy. That your sins
may be forgiven you, you shall not
break my commandments; observe
them written with my own hands.

Iy. Observe this: This was written
with my own hand, and spoken bv
my own mouth. You shall not onlv
go to church yourselves, but also
your men-servants, and observe nv
words and learn my commandments.
You shall finish your labor every
saturday in the afternoon by six |
O'Clock, at which hour the prepar-
alton for the Sabbath begins. I ad-
wise you to fast five days in every
year, beginning with Good Friday

ately following, in remembrance of
the five bloody wounds I received
for all mankind. You shall diligant-
ly and peacebIy labor in your respec-
Yocatiops, iR which it has Bi,H.sss-.t
ed God to call you. You shall love
one another with brotherly love, and
cause them that are not baptized to
come to church and receive the hoIv
sacraments viz: Baptism and the
Lord's supper, and be made mem
bers thereof, and in so doing [ will
give you long life and many bless
Ings, and comfort you in great temp

contrary shall be accursed and un-
profitable, [ will also send hardness
