two_o former_a commandment_n do_v contain_v our_o duty_n in_o heart_n and_o word_n here_o we_o be_v command_v to_o sanctify_v the_o day_n of_o god_n allmightie_a his_o repose_n by_o actual_a service_n which_o day_n before_o the_o resurrection_n be_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o it_o be_v the_o eight_v for_o as_o god_n after_o he_o have_v create_v the_o first_o world_n as_o i_o may_v term_v it_o in_o six_o day_n do_v repose_v the_o seven_o so_o our_o saviour_n after_o that_o with_o great_a labour_n he_o have_v make_v up_o the_o second_o world_n which_o be_v the_o church_n repose_v the_o eight_v day_n which_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n for_o all_o eternity_n 32._o wherefore_o do_v god_n command_v the_o jew_n to_o observe_v the_o sabaoth_a day_n in_o memory_n of_o that_o great_a benefit_n which_o man_n receive_v by_o the_o world_n creation_n which_o he_o finish_v upon_o this_o day_n 33._o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o christian_n observe_v the_o sunday_n and_o not_o saturday_n the_o former_a sabaoth_n which_o be_v command_v by_o god_n himself_o you_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v this_o defference_n betwixt_o this_o commandment_n and_o the_o other_o nine_o that_o all_o the_o other_o do_v follow_v in_o every_o particular_a out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o can_v be_v change_v whereas_o this_o

of_o nature_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v some_o particular_a time_n to_o god_n his_o service_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o determine_v the_o time_n but_o leave_v the_o determination_n to_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n or_o his_o church_n wherefore_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v former_o change_v diverse_a of_o the_o ceremony_n in_o the_o ancient_a law_n by_o take_v away_o the_o

inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appoint_v unto_o christian_n instead_o of_o the_o former_a sabaoth_n the_o observation_n of_o sunday_n or_o our_o lord_n day_n of_o repose_n which_o be_v worthy_o

he_o be_v bear_v this_o day_n and_o he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o this_o day_n to_o his_o dear_a spouse_n the_o church_n we_o do_v also_o keep_v still_o on_o this_o day_n a_o memory_n of_o

of_o this_o precept_n of_o sanctify_v the_o sabaoth_a day_n it_o be_v require_v that_o we_o abstain_v from_o all_o servile_a work_n forbid_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o we_o give_v to_o god_n upon_o this_o day_n that_o solemn_a and_o public_a worship_n which_o the_o church_n prescribe_v beside_o to_o observe_v this_o commandment_n with_o perfection_n we_o be_v to_o employ_v the_o whole_a

and_o therefore_o those_o who_o spend_v this_o day_n in_o idle_a sport_n or_o unnecessary_a voyage_n and_o the_o like_a do_v not_o comply_v full_o with_o the_o end_n of_o this_o commandment_n nor_o with_o the_o church_n desire_v concern_v it_o and_o therefore_o be_v reprehensible_a wherefore_o all_o people_n shall_v be_v exhort_v to_o spend_v at_o least_o some_o part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o
