then_o he_o will_v have_v a_o account_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n not_o of_o piece_n and_o parcel_n of_o it_o as_o we_o please_v thus_o we_o see_v what_o the_o duty_n of_o minister_n be_v namely_o to_o

for_o they_o to_o overthrow_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o can_v be_v know_v this_o argument_n be_v much_o press_v against_o i_o by_o m._n stinnet_n for_o one_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o by_o this_o reason_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o neither_o the_o prophet_n nor_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o live_v after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n in_o joshua_n his_o time_n until_o

when_o they_o study_v for_o such_o simple_a stuff_n as_o this_o be_v against_o they_o be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v a_o needless_a voluntary_a and_o unnecessary_a opposition_n to_o god_n ordinance_n for_o what_o necessity_n be_v here_o in_o this_o text_n to_o move_v a_o man_n to_o oppose_v god_n in_o his_o sabbath_n 2._o i_o prove_v their_o ground_n false_a whereon_o they_o build_v they_o suppose_v the_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v know_v because_o of_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n but_o i_o prove_v that_o long_o after_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v

be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o must_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n half_o a_o year_n together_o for_o in_o some_o country_n there_o be_v half_a a_o year_n light_a or_o day_n together_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o be_v it_o good_a also_o

lord_n day_n half_o a_o year_n long_o &_o c_o 2._o i_o answer_v by_o like_a reason_n a_o man_n may_v thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o 5_o come_v belong_v not_o unto_o all_o man_n because_o some_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o it_o as_o a_o king_n who_o father_n &_o mother_n be_v dead_a but_o what_o &_o if_o the_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_a live_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o 5_o come_v shall_v none_o of_o his_o subject_n therefore_o who_o have_v parent_n and_o superior_n live_v be_v bind_v unto_o the_o 5_o come_v &_o so_o what_o if_o some_o one_o country_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o of_o the_o exceed_a length_n and_o discommodiousness_n of_o their_o day_n shall_v not_o we_o &_o other_o nation_n therefore_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n
