which_o their_o answer_n be_v ever_o ready_a i_o can_v intermit_v it_o for_o i_o be_o a_o christian_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n prompt_v i_o to_o it_o now_o put_v these_o thing_n together_o the_o historical_a notice_n which_o occur_v in_o scripture_n of_o the_o apostolical_a institution_n and_o observation_n of_o the_o day_n and_o their_o approbation_n of_o it_o in_o other_o for_o certain_o they_o will_v not_o have_v approve_v of_o it_o but_o vigorous_o oppose_v it_o have_v it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n these_o thing_n i_o say_v together_o with_o the_o concurrent_a testimony_n of_o the_o succeed_a age_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o only_o of_o friend_n but_o enemy_n too_o i_o think_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o apostolical_a observation_n of_o the_o day_n and_o consequent_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o it_o and_o that_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n in_o this_o precept_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a which_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o a_o enumeration_n or_o induction_n of_o particular_n what_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v that_o god_n the_o father_n do_v who_o send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n what_o the_o spirit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v that_o christ_n who_o send_v he_o do_v and_o what_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v inspire_v with_o the_o spirit_n do_v that_o the_o spirit_n himself_o do_v thus_o in_o their_o first_o council_n act._n 15.28_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o to_o we_o and_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o remembrance_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o you_o both_o by_o scripture_n and_o history_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v command_v and_o institute_v and_o approve_v of_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o if_o they_o do_v it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v it_o and_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v it_o christ_n the_o son_n do_v it_o and_o if_o christ_n do_v it_o god_n the_o father_n himself_o do_v it_o who_o here_o command_v we_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a so_o that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n whereon_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o moral_a equity_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o upon_o evangelical_n institution_n our_o church_n reduce_v the_o institution_n of_o this_o day_n as_o a_o weekly_a day_n to_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o as_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n she_o found_v it_o upon_o apostolical_a practice_n and_o tradition_n for_o which_o i_o may_v refer_v you_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o homily_n of_o the_o place_n and_o time_n of_o prayer_n as_o concern_v the_o time_n which_o almighty_a god_n have_v appoint_v his_o people_n to_o assemble_v together_o solemn_o 214._o book_n of_o homily_n p._n 214._o it_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o four_o commandment_n of_o god_n remember_v say_v god_n that_o thou_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n upon_o which_o day_n as_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o people_n accustomable_o resort_v together_o and_o hear_v diligent_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v among_o they_o and_o albeit_o this_o commandment_n of_o god_n do_v not_o bind_v christian_a people_n so_o strait_o to_o observe_v and_o
