as_o well_o as_o they_o because_o he_o rest_v and_o for_o a_o reason_n existent_a from_o the_o first_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v institute_v at_o sinai_n it_o be_v high_o unreasonable_a to_o add_v one_o prolepsis_n to_o another_o and_o to_o heap_v figure_n upon_o figure_n when_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o it_o contrary_a to_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o a_o just_a interpretation_n now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o original_a and_o primaeval_n institution_n we_o have_v one_o instance_n of_o a_o divine_a revelation_n so_o far_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v of_o authority_n and_o sure_o we_o may_v demand_v in_o its_o behalf_n to_o have_v as_o much_o regard_n pay_v to_o it_o as_o we_o give_v to_o profane_a history_n but_o however_o we_o be_v not_o without_o a_o concurrent_a testimony_n from_o they_o also_o in_o this_o particular_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o have_v be_v of_o great_a antiquity_n such_o a_o distribution_n of_o time_n as_o we_o call_v a_o week_n of_o seven_o day_n and_o which_o be_v more_o to_o our_o purpose_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o festival_n and_o religious_a day_n this_o lucian_n do_v more_o than_o intimate_v and_o long_o before_o he_o solon_n who_o call_v it_o most_o holy_a day_n in_o his_o elegy_n quote_v by_o eusebius_n 667_o and_o one_o early_a than_o he_o homer_n who_o call_v it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o holy_a day_n but_o calimachus_n homer_n and_o linus_n be_v still_o more_o particular_a for_o they_o say_v it_o be_v because_o all_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v then_o finish_v so_o homer_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o it_o be_v therefore_o call_v by_o linus_n the_o birthday_n of_o the_o world_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n to_o point_n to_o this_o for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v observe_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n for_o such_o a_o septenary_n distribution_n of_o time_n or_o division_n into_o week_n than_o there_o be_v for_o the_o divide_n of_o a_o day_n into_o hour_n and_o consequent_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o some_o institution_n and_o from_o a_o very_a early_a institution_n because_o of_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v from_o the_o forecited_n author_n who_o be_v of_o great_a antiquity_n especial_o homer_n and_o linus_n for_o homer_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v live_v in_o or_o about_o the_o time_n of_o saul_n in_o the_o year_n of_o the_o world_n 2940_o and_o linus_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o judge_n about_o the_o year_n 2570._o the_o consideration_n of_o which_o do_v make_v it_o probable_a that_o these_o ancient_a poet_n owe_v their_o information_n to_o the_o general_a tradition_n of_o the_o world_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o jew_n indeed_o aristobulus_n the_o jew_n from_o who_o eusebius_n draw_v the_o abovesaid_a testimony_n say_v these_o poet_n have_v borrow_v they_o from_o the_o jewish_a book_n but_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v how_o little_a the_o jewish_a book_n the_o scripture_n be_v know_v to_o the_o world_n before_o the_o translation_n of_o they_o by_o the_o seventy_o into_o greek_a which_o be_v about_o 300_o year_n before_o the_o birth_n of_o our_o saviour_n or_o how_o little_a the_o opinion_n of_o the_o jew_n themselves_o before_o the_o captivity_n be_v know_v abroad_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v conceive_v that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v know_v so_o early_o and_o speak_v of_o so_o positive_o by_o the_o greek_a poet_n homer_n and_o linus_n within_o so_o short_a a_o time_n after_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n at_o sinai_n as_o these_o two_o live_v for_o linus_n must_v have_v live_v within_o less_o than_o half_a a_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n and_o homer_n in_o less_o than_o 400._o where_o if_o we_o take_v the_o low_a term_n that_o of_o homer_n the_o jew_n be_v hardly_o in_o a_o settle_a state_n and_o no_o more_o in_o a_o condition_n than_o they_o be_v dispose_v in_o their_o temper_n or_o permit_v by_o their_o religion_n to_o inform_v other_o nation_n in_o the_o article_n or_o mystery_n of_o their_o religion_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v very_o evident_a that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v a_o ancient_a and_o general_a opinion_n and_o especial_o of_o those_o who_o may_v be_v best_a presume_v to_o understand_v what_o have_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o mankind_n in_o the_o age_n before_o or_o those_o in_o which_o they_o live_v and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o those_o early_a time_n conformable_a to_o the_o history_n of_o scripture_n we_o have_v sufficient_a reason_n to_o offer_v this_o as_o a_o instance_n of_o a_o revelation_n 2._o another_o instance_n of_o revelation_n be_v sacrifice_n and_o especial_o those_o of_o expiation_n among_o all_o the_o rite_n and_o usage_n relate_v to_o divine_a worship_n there_o be_v none_o that_o exceed_v these_o in_o their_o antiquity_n except_o the_o sabbath_n or_o extent_n for_o we_o no_o soon_o read_v of_o god_n reconciliation_n to_o mankind_n but_o that_o they_o offer_v sacrifice_n no_o soon_o of_o noah_n deliverance_n and_o escape_v out_o of_o the_o deluge_n but_o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o without_o doubt_n as_o it_o begin_v so_o it_o continue_v and_o be_v as_o much_o disperse_v and_o observe_v among_o mankind_n before_o the_o flood_n as_o after_o it_o but_o how_o probable_a soever_o it_o be_v that_o this_o rite_n be_v thus_o universal_o observe_v before_o yet_o that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o certain_a of_o as_o we_o be_v of_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o after_o the_o flood_n when_o there_o be_v no_o age_n nor_o nation_n where_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v how_o disperse_v soever_o they_o be_v of_o which_o no_o tolerable_a account_n be_v to_o be_v give_v unless_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o have_v be_v in_o use_n before_o the_o dispersion_n at_o babel_n and_o that_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n it_o must_v have_v be_v i_o say_v in_o use_n before_o that_o dispersion_n for_o how_o can_v all_o nation_n fall_v into_o one_o and_o the_o same_o practice_n and_o have_v the_o same_o opinion_n of_o sacrifice_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o it_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v that_o they_o have_v all_o descend_v from_o one_o blood_n from_o one_o family_n from_o one_o

this_o shall_v arise_v and_o what_o give_v it_o this_o universal_a acceptance_n and_o authority_n whether_o the_o invention_n of_o some_o eminent_a person_n suppose_v in_o those_o early_a time_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o revelation_n from_o god_n and_o of_o his_o special_a institution_n there_o seem_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o think_v this_o service_n shall_v proceed_v mere_o from_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n even_o of_o those_o pious_a and_o well-disposed_a person_n since_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o lead_v to_o it_o for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a to_o almighty_a god_n which_o in_o itself_o hold_v no_o conformity_n nor_o be_v at_o all_o suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n

more_o acceptable_a to_o he_o than_o this_o and_o acceptable_a without_o it_o viz._n a_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o prayer_n of_o a_o pure_a mind_n and_o a_o good_a life_n which_o the_o wise_a
