do_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n as_o they_o be_v rehearse_v by_o the_o minister_n without_o mutilate_v or_o curtail_v of_o any_o of_o

prove_v it_o also_o by_o divine_a testimony_n but_o i_o think_v ever_o &_o anon_o as_o i_o be_o write_v that_o some_o body_n shall_v wonder_v at_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v spend_v so_o many_o word_n to_o prove_v a_o point_n so_o plain_a as_o this_o that_o all_o god_n commandment_n be_v now_o to_o be_v obey_v why_o may_v they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o point_n we_o never_o till_o now_o hear_v doubt_v of_o we_o ever_o take_v it_o as_o a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o all_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o the_o obedience_n thereof_o and_o be_v it_o now_o

&_o what_o not_o to_o believe_v but_o sure_o sir_n you_o be_v mistake_v there_o be_v no_o minister_n that_o have_v any_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n that_o will_v doubt_v of_o this_o point_n and_o for_o common_a people_n they_o be_v as_o far_o from_o doubt_v of_o it_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v from_o the_o earth_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o i_o serious_o enter_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o it_o make_v my_o very_a heart_n to_o tremble_v within_o i_o to_o think_v that_o any_o man_n that_o profess_v godliness_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o in_o love_n with_o old_a error_n as_o to_o deny_v so_o clear_a a_o truth_n as_o this_o nevertheless_o not_o only_o minister_n but_o puritan_n minister_n go_v about_o to_o doubt_v of_o and_o deny_v this_o truth_n for_o by_o their_o distinctiones_fw-la they_o will_v deny_v that_o all_o the_o commandment_n write_v in_o the_o decalogue_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o obedience_n which_o if_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v i_o shall_v save_v this_o labour_n &_o they_o must_v embrace_v that_o most_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n wherefore_o good_a reader_n wonder_v not_o at_o i_o but_o rather_o wonder_v at_o such_o your_o minister_n who_o be_v become_v so_o unfaithful_a to_o god_n as_o that_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v confess_v a_o old_a error_n they_o will_v stiff_o deny_v a_o manifest_a truth_n my_o first_o argument_n then_o of_o divine_a authority_n be_v this_o that_o every_o thingonce_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n stand_v still_o unrepeal_v &_o be_v therefore_o still_o in_o force_n for_o these_o enemy_n to_o god_n sabbath_n they_o can_v prove_v that_o any_o one_o thing_n once_o command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n be_v ever_o since_o revoke_v &_o abolish_v now_o whatsoever_o thing_n god_n have_v once_o command_v in_o his_o 10_o common_a that_o thing_n be_v to_o stand_v everlasting_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o god_n have_v revoke_v &_o reverse_a it_o like_v as_o

authority_n that_o first_o enact_v they_o for_o the_o further_a strengthen_v of_o which_o argument_n let_v these_o scripture_n be_v perpend_v what_o soever_o thing_n be_v write_v aforetime_o be_v

of_o scripture_n you_o see_v the_o apostle_n do_v ratify_v a_o uninersallity_n of_o thing_n write_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o a_o integrity_n and_o wholenesse_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o apply_v these_o ij_o text_n to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o commandment_n to_o maintain_v the_o universallity_n of_o

therein_o do_v we_o think_v better_o of_o the_o heathen_a gentile_n who_o have_v live_v since_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n then_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o live_v before_o the_o law_n

sure_a i_o be_o though_o nature_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n yet_o enemy_n unto_o it_o it_o can_v be_v for_o let_v nature_n be_v inform_v what_o manner_n a_o thing_n god_n sabbath_n
