more_o weight_n with_o they_o than_o all_o his_o collection_n can_v pretend_v to_o do_v against_o they_o as_o touch_v easter_n and_o its_o observance_n that_o be_v no_o part_n of_o this_o

other_o of_o those_o festival_n which_o be_v appropriate_v to_o our_o lord_n and_o in_o commemoration_n of_o his_o birth_n of_o his_o manifestation_n of_o his_o ascension_n of_o his_o mission_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o constant_a memorial_n of_o that_o resurrection_n be_v that_o day_n of_o the_o week_n whereon_o he_o rest_v from_o all_o the_o work_n of_o his_o redemption_n wherefore_o see_v there_o be_v a_o weekly_a religious_a and_o solemn_a commemoration_n thereof_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o less_o cause_n for_o a_o annual_a as_o for_o the_o other_o festival_n which_o be_v appropriate_v to_o mere_a man_n and_o dedicate_v to_o their_o remembrance_n and_o praise_n as_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o they_o so_o i_o think_v it_o neither_o prudent_a nor_o seasonable_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o but_o let_v he_o that_o keep_v a_o day_n keep_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o that_o keep_v not_o a_o day_n unto_o the_o lord_n let_v he_o not_o keep_v it_o and_o let_v both_o maintain_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n here_o i_o hope_v to_o have_v annex_v my_o epilogue_n but_o some_o passage_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o easter_n do_v require_v a_o little_a animadversion_n as_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o page_n 134._o which_o he_o have_v do_v several_a time_n before_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o be_v introduce_v by_o the_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o so_o impose_v by_o he_o upon_o the_o other_o church_n which_o he_o think_v evidence_v by_o his_o former_a collection_n but_o 1._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v before_o there_o be_v a_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o christian_n just_a upon_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 2._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v by_o very_o great_a church_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o roman_a faith_n and_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o roman_a ecclesiastical_a government_n when_o either_o the_o roman_a bishop_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o they_o or_o if_o he_o do_v they_o right_o and_o stout_o resist_v and_o refuse_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o universal_a reception_n of_o all_o the_o church_n conjunct_o as_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o scriptural_a authority_n than_o any_o imposition_n of_o rome_n upon_o they_o he_o have_v a_o strange_a notion_n page_n 130._o as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o which_o be_v that_o first_o rome_n endeavour_v to_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o passover_n upon_o the_o lordsday_n and_o so_o the_o weekly_a holy_a rest_n upon_o that_o day_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n imply_v that_o rome_n herself_o observe_v the_o passover_n lordsday_n before_o she_o do_v the_o weekly_a whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o rome_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o it_o be_v the_o dominical_a day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n whereas_o the_o proper_a paschal-day_n be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o honour_n to_o that_o day_n do_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n require_v easter_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o not_o ordain_v easter_n firstday_n as_o a_o shooe-horn_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o weekly_a first_o day_n after_o moreover_o in_o those_o church_n wherein_o they_o dissent_v from_o rome_n as_o to_o the_o day_n of_o easter_n they_o concur_v with_o she_o in_o the_o weekly_a lordsday_n so_o that_o the_o lordsday_n be_v weekly_o observe_v by_o they_o before_o easter_n be_v keep_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o yearly_a first_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o usherer_n in_o of_o that_o weekday_n which_o be_v before_o it_o sect_n xxi_o as_o the_o conclusion_n and_o result_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n that_o jehovah_n be_v not_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n nor_o rest_v on_o it_o till_o his_o incarnation_n nor_o be_v christ_n real_o till_o then_o that_o he_o give_v not_o the_o command_v on_o mount_n sinai_n neither_o be_v they_o there_o give_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o those_o mix_a people_n that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n that_o the_o ten_o command_n be_v confirm_v by_o our_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n and_o discourse_n but_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n never_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v by_o he_o in_o they_o all_o as_o that_o which_o be_v no_o part_n at_o all_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o pure_o positive_a both_o in_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o ground_n and_o motive_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v found_v and_o impose_v upon_o its_o observer_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v change_v with_o the_o other_o positive_a and_o ceremonial_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o our_o lord_n christ_n indeed_o observe_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o antecedent_n law_n of_o all_o the_o ceremony_n and_o moysaicall_a administration_n and_o observe_v they_o all_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sabbath_n but_o yet_o he_o then_o speak_v and_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o declare_v its_o approach_n to_o dissolution_n and_o its_o non-morality_n that_o he_o rest_v no_o more_o in_o the_o grave_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n than_o he_o do_v on_o the_o cross_n on_o the_o six_o when_o he_o hang_v dead_a thereon_o but_o the_o day_n of_o his_o rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o day_n he_o supreme_o honour_v above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o his_o resurrection_n thereon_o from_o the_o dead_a by_o his_o several_a appearance_n thereon_o to_o his_o disciple_n after_o his_o death_n by_o his_o most_o gracious_a discourse_n thereon_o unto_o they_o which_o he_o never_o do_v nor_o make_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n after_o his_o resarrection_n and_o by_o the_o mission_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o his_o disciple_n thereon_o upon_o which_o account_n st._n john_n call_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o by_o all_o the_o church_n ever_o since_o that_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v take_v to_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o believer_n keep_v the_o lord_n day_n or_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o their_o religious_a rest_n and_o meet_v together_o on_o that_o day_n as_o
