own_o authority_n it_o ix_o so_o that_o the_o very_a silence_n of_o the_o n._n t._n rather_o confirm_v any_o law_n then_o abrogate_v it_o and_o so_o we_o suppose_v we_o may_v upon_o just_a reason_n infer_v that_o the_o silence_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n concern_v a_o law_n express_o and_o cleare-livered_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v a_o confirmation_n rather_o than_o a_o abrogation_n of_o it_o or_o a_o intimation_n that_o it_o be_v expire_v judicious_a divine_n give_v this_o for_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o silence_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o diverse_a point_n which_o be_v most_o vehement_o urge_v in_o the_o old_a as_o against_o incestuous_a marriage_n before_o note_a and_o that_o other_o be_v but_o slight_o and_o as_o it_o be_v occasional_o mention_v as_o the_o law_n about_o tithe_n and_o usury_n etc._n etc._n because_o they_o be_v so_o clear_o and_o importunate_o press_v in_o the_o old_a and_o therefore_o till_o we_o see_v better_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a than_o any_o we_o have_v yet_o meet_v with_o in_o all_o our_o disputer_n book_n we_o must_v needs_o hold_v that_o all_o the_o law_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v perpetuate_v to_o this_o day_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o against_o they_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o way_n of_o repeal_n they_o or_o at_o least_o in_o reason_n which_o may_v plead_v for_o a_o expiration_n and_o if_o any_o one_o think_v that_o by_o this_o assertion_n sundry_a of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v usual_o count_v judaical_a will_v prove_v to_o be_v in_o force_n still_o we_o answer_v that_o perhaps_o it_o may_v prove_v so_o indeed_o and_o if_o we_o may_v have_v liberty_n to_o express_v our_o apprehension_n of_o the_o case_n in_o general_a we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o as_o we_o believe_v it_o lie_v upon_o our_o conscience_n in_o particular_a to_o prove_v any_o particular_a law_n this_o or_o that_o which_o we_o hold_v to_o be_v ceremonial_a or_o judaical_a to_o be_v such_o or_o else_o we_o can_v just_o nor_o safe_o plead_v it_o to_o be_v repeal_v or_o expire_v if_o it_o be_v not_o name_v among_o such_o express_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o we_o be_v afraid_a that_o many_o divine_n not_o to_o say_v some_o church_n and_o state_n now_o adays_o have_v be_v a_o little_a too_o bold_a in_o reject_v sundry_a law_n as_o mere_o judaical_a which_o upon_o further_a advisement_n may_v perhaps_o be_v find_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a to_o which_o our_o next_o rule_n will_v speak_v some_o what_o more_o full_o but_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o that_o expound_v x._o the_o text_n act._n 15.28_o

if_o it_o be_v right_o consider_v for_o of_o what_o law_n speak_v the_o apostle_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v of_o the_o write_v law_n where_o say_v we_o either_o in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n at_o large_a or_o particular_o in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o so_o in_o the_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n not_o the_o former_a for_o then_o the_o forementioned_a ceremonious_a jew_n may_v again_o have_v come_v upon_o he_o with_o this_o that_o law_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v say_v also_o thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v swine_n flesh_n so_o by_o eat_a swine_n flesh_n a_o man_n be_v a_o transgressor_n and_o breaker_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n for_o this_o be_v as_o well_o find_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n write_v by_o he_o as_o the_o other_o therefore_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o decalogue_n the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n consider_v as_o one_o law_n together_o and_o so_o though_o the_o several_a commandment_n be_v so_o many_o distinct_a branch_n with_o reference_n to_o each_o other_o yet_o be_v they_o join_v in_o one_o bulk_n and_o body_n together_o as_o one_o perpetual_a law_n as_o speak_v altogether_o and_o write_v altogether_o and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o no_o other_o law_n be_v neither_o will_v it_o be_v possible_a to_o satisfy_v the_o apostle_n drift_n and_o make_v his_o argument_n good_a unless_o we_o thus_o interpret_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o take_v liberty_n to_o account_v both_o papist_n transgressor_n for_o break_v the_o 2d._o commandment_n because_o he_o that_o say_v or_o that_o law_n that_o say_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o say_v also_o thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o thyself_o any_o grave_a image_n and_o so_o our_o adversary_n transgressor_n for_o break_v the_o four_o commandment_n because_o he_o that_o say_v or_o that_o law_n that_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o vain_a say_v also_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o etc._n etc._n 181._o prim._n p._n 180._o 181._o nor_o be_v this_o place_n elude_v by_o the_o answer_n which_o one_o of_o our_o adversary_n

of_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n have_v first_o deny_v the_o inobservation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n a_o sin_n because_o the_o law_n so_o far_o as_o it_o command_v the_o sabbath_n oblige_v not_o any_o more_o mean_a time_n he_o touch_v not_o at_o all_o in_o his_o answer_n the_o strength_n of_o the_o reason_n whereby_o the_o apostle_n prove_v his_o sentence_n but_o contrary_a in_o the_o allegation_n of_o our_o argument_n he_o enervate_v both_o it_o and_o the_o text_n itself_o particular_o viz._n the_o scope_n of_o it_o namely_o by_o alter_v the_o apostle_n word_n and_o instead_o of_o instance_v in_o two_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v vers_fw-la 11._o wherein_o we_o place_v the_o strength_n of_o our_o argumentation_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o he_o only_o general_o say_v and_o that_o in_o another_o character_n than_o the_o text_n be_v in_o as_o if_o it_o be_v our_o inference_n not_o the_o apostle_n the_o same_n god_n which_o enjoin_v the_o one_o of_o these_o point_n have_v enjoin_v all_o the_o rest_n by_o which_o general_a expression_n because_o a_o heedless_a reader_n may_v happen_v to_o be_v deceive_v we_o make_v bold_a to_o ask_v he_o what_o point_v be_v those_o the_o apostle_n mean_v do_v not_o he_o himself_o say_v for_o we_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o if_o he_o will_v deny_v it_o the_o instance_n vers_fw-la 11._o will_v constrain_v he_o again_o to_o grant_v it_o whereupon_o we_o urge_v he_o thus_o further_o if_o saint_n james_n speak_v of_o the_o decalogue_n then_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o decalogue_n as_o god_n say_v they_o or_o as_o the_o law_n say_v they_o as_o they_o be_v speak_v by_o god_n and_o write_v by_o he_o and_o if_o so_o then_o either_o he_o must_v deny_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o have_v be_v with_o the_o rest_n speak_v by_o god_n and_o write_v by_o he_o or_o deny_v saint_n james_n his_o argument_n that_o because_o one_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n bind_v now_o therefore_o another_o do_v or_o deny_v his_o own_o denial_n that_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o the_o very_a word_n of_o it_o be_v now_o in_o force_n let_v he_o take_v his_o choice_n and_o if_o now_o himself_o or_o any_o for_o he_o think_v to_o urge_v we_o by_o the_o same_o argument_n to_o the_o old_a jewish_a seven_o day_n as_o command_v by_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o they_o do_v oft_o and_o continual_o we_o must_v as_o oft_o and_o continual_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n direct_o and_o as_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o of_o this_o we_o shall_v give_v good_a account_n in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n mean_a time_n we_o let_v pass_v the_o residue_n of_o what_o he_o say_v to_o this_o place_n of_o saint_n james_n because_o it_o go_v altogether_o upon_o that_o supposition_n and_o count_v ourselves_o to_o have_v make_v good_a our_o two_o first_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n we_o come_v to_o a_o three_o of_o a_o ancient_a father_n namely_o irenaeus_n who_o thus_o speak_v for_o we_o god_n 31._o 3._o irenaeus_n ●_o 4._o c._n 31._o the_o better_a to_o prepare_v we_o to_o eternal_a life_n do_v by_o himself_o proclaim_v the_o decalogue_n to_o all_o the_o people_n equal_o which_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v of_o

such_o enlargement_n as_o do_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n by_o our_o saviour_n preach_v but_o a_o dissolution_n rather_o by_o his_o practice_n but_o this_o gloss_n corrupt_v the_o text_n

it_o be_v do_v this_o commandment_n have_v as_o well_o receive_v enlargement_n as_o the_o rest_n by_o the_o substitution_n of_o the_o lordsday_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o the_o
