of_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n the_o friday_n because_o of_o christ_n his_o passion_n loe_o here_o then_o be_v two_o day_n in_o a_o week_n sanctify_v the_o friday_n &_o the_o sunday_n and_o that_o without_o difference_n now_o who_o that_o read_v this_o can_v think_v that_o the_o church_n in_o constantins_n time_n keep_v the_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n unless_o he_o shall_v absurd_o think_v that_o they_o keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n the_o friday_n &_o the_o sunday_n it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o they_o keep_v they_o both_o but_o as_o we_o keep_v some_o light_a holy_a day_n nor_o do_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n exalte_v the_o lord_n day_n any_o high_a than_o do_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o passion_n exalte_v the_o friday_n thus_o you_o

ecclesiastical_a history_n lib._n 5._o cap._n 21._o where_o he_o thus_o write_v the_o drift_n say_v he_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o lay_v down_o canon_n &_o decree_n concern_v feast_n &_o holy_a day_n but_o to_o become_v pattern_n unto_o we_o of_o piety_n of_o good_a life_n &_o godly_a conversation_n whereas_o there_o be_v great_a contention_n at_o this_o time_n to_o prove_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n institute_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n this_o historian_n will_v determine_v the_o controversy_n for_o we_o if_o we_o will_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o primitive_a church_n for_o he_o say_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o decree_n concern_v holy_a day_n of_o which_o number_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v one_o and_o what_o he_o say_v here_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o same_o also_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o say_v of_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o make_v no_o law_n for_o the_o church_n to_o celebrate_v the_o feast_n of_o easter_n etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o antiquity_n that_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v ever_o appoint_v easter_n day_n which_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n nor_o any_o other_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v for_o sabbath_n i_o deny_v not_o for_o all_o this_o that_o those_o time_n give_v any_o respect_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o other_o holy_a day_n but_o this_o only_a i_o deny_v that_o they_o sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n as_o divine_o institute_v and_o appoint_v by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n but_o rather_o as_o from_o the_o same_o authority_n from_o &_o by_o which_o they_o sanctify_v other_o holy_a day_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o wit_n from_o &_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o

for_o he_o say_v which_o we_o observe_v by_o tradition_n not_o by_o wright_v etc._n etc._n 3._o that_o s._n augustine_n be_v doubtful_a &_o uncertain_a whither_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n

no_o better_a nor_o high_a authority_n then_o be_v good_a friday_n &_o hallow_n thursday_n the_o feast_n of_o christ_n passion_n &_o ascension_n we_o may_v as_o well_o therefore_o by_o s._n augustins_n judgement_n sanctify_v every_o friday_n and_o every_o thursday_n for_o sabbath_n throughout_o the_o year_n as_o every_o lord_n day_n for_o they_o have_v all_o three_o the_o same_o original_n &_o selfsame_o ground_n &_o authority_n for_o they_o be_v all_o tradition_n &_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o doubtful_a whither_o from_o the_o apostle_n or_o from_o counsel_n by_o the_o way_n since_o s._n augustine_n know_v no_o scripture_n for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n how_o come_v it_o about_o i_o marvel_v that_o many_o in_o our_o day_n have_v find_v out_o so_o many_o scripture_n for_o it_o we_o have_v now_o this_o text_n of_o scripture_n joh._n 20.19.26_o witness_v that_o christ_n do_v often_o appear_v unto_o his_o disciple_n on_o this_o day_n another_o text_n we_o have_v for_o it_o act._n 20.7_o where_o s._n paul_n preach_v a_o sermon_n at_o troas_n on_o this_o day_n an_o other_o text_n we_o have_v find_v out_o 1._o cor._n 16.2_o where_o there_o be_v a_o collection_n for_o the_o poor_a on_o this_o day_n and_o yet_o a_o other_o text_n we_o have_v revel_v 1.10_o where_o this_o day_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n i_o marvel_v s._n augustine_n and_o his_o time_n shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o not_o to_o see_v these_o text_n as_o warrantable_a institution_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o become_v a_o sabbath_n since_o we_o see_v they_o and_o say_v they_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o prove_v the_o point_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v this_o i_o suppose_v they_o that_o first_o set_v their_o wit_n on_o work_n to_o find_v a_o divine_a institution_n for_o this_o lord_n day_n they_o see_v nothing_o but_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o holy_a day_n but_o miselike_v this_o they_o judge_v it_o better_o to_o have_v it_o stand_v by_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o have_v use_v their_o wit_n to_o wrest_v these_o scripture_n thitherwards_o so_o now_o they_o have_v father_v the_o matter_n all_o upon_o god_n and_o make_v this_o lord_n day_n a_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o get_v the_o more_o honour_n unto_o it_o this_o dare_v not_o s._n augustin_n do_v but_o he_o more_o ingenuous_o plain_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v as_o indeed_o &_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n &_o of_o equal_a authority_n for_o its_o sanctification_n with_o good_a friday_n hallow_n thursday_n &_o other_o holy_a day_n to_o conclude_v well_o we_o may_v make_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n what_o esteem_v we_o will_v but_o yet_o you_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o tradition_n a_o popish_a tradition_n &_o as_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o s._n augustine_n so_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o confirm_v by_o other_o also_o by_o &_o by_o now_o if_o it_o prove_v but_o a_o tradition_n they_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o romish_a rubbish_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o clean_o sweep_v out_o of_o the_o reform_a church_n an_o other_o testimony_n of_o s._n augustine_n i_o find_v in_o his_o work_n contra_fw-la adimant_n cap._n 16._o where_o he_o thus_o write_v for_o we_o also_o do_v celebrate_v both_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n &_o certain_a other_o festival_n day_n but_o we_o observe_v not_o the_o time_n but_o only_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o or_o in_o those_o time_n etc._n etc._n loe_o here_o s._n augustine_n say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n indeed_o in_o his_o time_n &_o in_o that_o church_n but_o how_o they_o keep_v it_o much_o like_a as_o they_o keep_v other_o holy_a day_n and_o festival_n for_o say_v he_o non_fw-la tempora_fw-la observamus_fw-la we_o regard_v not_o the_o time_n etc._n etc._n ay_o but_o do_v the_o lord_n day_n stand_v by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n then_o s._n augustine_n will_v have_v regard_v the_o time_n for_o he_o must_v have_v regard_v that_o very_a day_n if_o christ_n have_v ordain_v it_o &_o do_v the_o lord_n day_n stand_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o com._n then_o s._n augustine_n must_v have_v observe_v the_o time_n for_o the_o day_n &_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v no_o less_o enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o com._n then_o rest_n from_o labour_n &_o holy_a exercise_n how_o can_v man_n that_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v say_v to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o time_n if_o the_o time_n be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a therefore_o that_o s._n augustine_n &_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o his_o time_n do_v not_o believe_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v institute_v by_o christ_n or_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v

minister_n and_o people_n and_o desire_v they_o to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o it_o henceforth_o that_o this_o their_o zealouse_a sanctify_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o conscience_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o of_o christ_n his_o institution_n it_o be_v no_o better_o before_o god_n &_o with_o wiseman_n then_o superstition_n and_o needless_a religion_n for_o when_o man_n will_v do_v that_o in_o god_n service_n &_o in_o obedience_n unto_o god_n the_o which_o he_o have_v no_o where_o command_v they_o what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o needless_a religion_n and_o superstition_n when_o man_n can_v show_v god_n will_v for_o that_o they_o do_v than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v of_o their_o own_o will_n &_o so_o their_o religion_n in_o that_o point_n be_v a_o voluntary-religion_n and_o a_o will-worship_n let_v i_o not_o be_v mistake_v the_o lord_n day_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n or_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v ignorant_o conceive_v to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sense_n only_o i_o speak_v against_o it_o but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o man_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o magistrate_n &_o so_o at_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o continue_v it_o or_o discontinue_v it_o in_o this_o regard_n i_o have_v nothing_o against_o it_o so_o much_o for_o the_o admonition_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o debortation_n my_o first_o reason_n dissuasive_a be_v because_o we_o hate_v superstition_n &_o will-worship_n in_o other_o how_o do_v we_o bear_v against_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n because_o of_o their_o superstitiouse_a traditiones_fw-la and_o religion_n of_o will-worship_n and_o can_v we_o see_v a_o error_n in_o they_o and_o can_v we_o see_v the_o same_o error_n in_o ourselves_o have_v we_o be_v wise_a for_o ourselves_o we_o may_v have_v see_v this_o error_n long_o ago_o for_o they_o have_v often_o admonish_v we_o in_o their_o writing_n against_o we_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n day_n be_v but_o a_o tradition_n from_o the_o father_n and_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n &_o herein_o give_v the_o devil_n his_o right_n as_o they_o say_v they_o have_v speak_v most_o true_o albeit_o we_o have_v give_v deaf_a care_n unto_o they_o &_o labour_v to_o shift_v it_o of_o and_o will_v we_o condemn_v they_o for_o will-worship_n &_o superstition_n &_o practice_v the_o same_o ourselves_o well_o hear_v what_o s._n paul_n say_v therefore_o thou_o be_v inexcusable_a o_o man_n whosoever_o thou_o be_v that_o condemne_v for_o in_o that_o that_o thou_o condemne_v a_o other_o thou_o condemne_v thyself_o for_o thou_o that_o condemne_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n rom._n 2.1_o many_o minister_n think_v themselves_o far_o enough_o of_o from_o superstition_n &_o will-worship_n whilst_o in_o the_o pulpit_n they_o can_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o superstition_n of_o papist_n when_o as_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n themselves_o be_v even_o then_o very_a papist_n in_o this_o point_n &_o great_a patroness_n and_o maintainer_n of_o superstition_n &_o will_v worship_v wherefore_o let_v they_o reform_v themselves_o or_o else_o let_v they_o be_v silent_a touch_a papist_n you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v by_o good_a authority_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v but_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n &_o shall_v we_o retain_v popish_a traditiones_fw-la will_v these_o minister_n be_v still_o patroness_n and_o supporter_n of_o unwritten_a traditiones_fw-la i_o will_v hope_v better_o of_o they_o my_o second_o reason_n dissuasive_a be_v because_o we_o shall_v all_o lose_v our_o labour_n in_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o we_o like_o servant_n will_v be_v do_v of_o such_o work_n as_o our_o master_n never_o appoint_v we_o do_v we_o think_v our_o master_n will_v thank_v we_o yea_o &_o reward_v we_o for_o they_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o god_n never_o command_v we_o to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n by_o the_o four_o com._n &_o that_o christ_n never_o appoint_v it_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o therefore_o we_o will_v be_v hallow_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n think_v you_o that_o god_n will_v reward_v you_o for_o it_o or_o that_o christ_n will_v thank_v you_o for_o it_o many_o man_n that_o be_v honest_o dispose_v &_o of_o ingenuouse_a mind_n be_v mislead_v by_o some_o minister_n they_o lose_v some_o year_n their_o hay_n in_o the_o field_n some_o year_n their_o corn_n in_o the_o field_n &_o all_o of_o conscience_n think_v it_o a_o duty_n for_o they_o so_o to_o do_v rather_o than_o to_o labour_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o many_o other_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n very_o strict_o both_o private_o &_o public_o erroneous_o mispersuade_v that_o that_o text_n isa_n 58.13_o injoin_v they_o so_o to_o do_v but_o be_v not_o all_o this_o labour_n in_o vain_a god_n never_o command_v it_o christ_n never_o
