further_a than_o so_o for_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o plain_a &_o right_o down_o exhortation_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o say_v he_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o can_v bemore_n plain_a have_v ignatius_n esteem_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n as_o many_o think_v now_o a_o day_n or_o judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o

use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v hereunto_o subjoine_v this_o devout_a prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o commandment_n say_v god_n bless_v and_o hallow_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o hallow_a as_o the_o four_o commandment_n
