this_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o word_n in_o the_o 16._o 17_o 18_o 19_o verse_n then_o let_v they_o that_o be_v in_o judea_n flee_v into_o the_o mountain_n let_v he_o which_o be_v on_o the_o house_n

shall_v still_o have_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o i_o have_v specify_v nay_o he_o know_v that_o among_o the_o faithful_a jew_n the_o best_a instruct_v shall_v tie_v themselves_o for_o a_o certain_a space_n of_o time_n after_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o certain_a legal_a ceremony_n and_o special_o of_o the_o sabbath_n although_o of_o right_n they_o be_v all_o make_v of_o no_o effect_n by_o his_o death_n not_o for_o any_o conscience_n to_o them-ward_n nor_o through_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o any_o obligation_n on_o their_o

these_o reason_n he_o may_v well_o exhort_v they_o all_o to_o pray_v that_o there_o flight_n shall_v not_o befall_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o those_o that_o be_v weak_a and_o not_o so_o

their_o flight_n shall_v not_o happen_v on_o that_o day_n we_o may_v fit_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v so_o have_v regard_n not_o to_o they_o but_o to_o other_o that_o he_o foresee_v shall_v be_v ignorant_a and_o weak_a and_o to_o who_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v a_o impediment_n to_o fly_v for_o although_o christian_n strong_a in_o the_o faith_n make_v no_o

to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n keep_v the_o day_n wherein_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o also_o to_o make_v a_o distinction_n thereby_o between_o they_o and_o the_o jew_n

for_o there_o be_v nothing_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n concern_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n import_v a_o commandment_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o his_o

indeed_o if_o jesus_n christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n by_o express_a commandment_n from_o he_o or_o by_o divine_a inspiration_n have_v ordain_v that_o day_n as_o a_o point_n so_o necessary_a as_o it_o

have_v establish_v the_o observation_n of_o this_o day_n as_o a_o point_n of_o the_o will_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o service_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o it_o have_v be_v

since_o the_o same_o authority_n oblige_v they_o thereunto_o now_o this_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o observation_n thereof_o be_v not_o practise_v throughout_o they_o all_o and_o become_v not_o

of_o the_o week_n eusebius_n in_o the_o four_o book_n of_o the_o life_n of_o constantine_n chapter_n 16._o and_o after_o he_o sozomene_n in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o his_o ecclesiastical_a history_n and_o in_o the_o 8_o chapter_n relate_v that_o constantine_n the_o first_o make_v a_o law_n and_o ordain_v that_o on_o sunday_n which_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o on_o friday_n

and_o public_a judgement_n be_v practise_v whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v with_o a_o great_a show_n of_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o institution_n of_o christ_n nor_o of_o his_o apostle_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v questionless_a the_o observation_n thereof_o have_v be_v better_o know_v and_o practise_v and_o christian_n have_v think_v themselves_o more_o oblige_v unto_o it_o for_o the_o

be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o usage_n but_o they_o say_v not_o that_o it_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v ordain_v which_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v silent_a of_o if_o that_o have_v be_v true_a and_o it_o have_v be_v needless_a to_o allege_v any_o other_o reason_n 9_o this_o be_v also_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v that_o sozomen_n join_v the_o friday_n with_o the_o sunday_n and_o say_v that_o constantine_n ordain_v that_o day_n as_o well_o as_o this_o day_n that_o day_n because_o on_o it_o christ_n be_v crucify_v this_o day_n because_o on_o it_o

of_o his_o passion_n upon_o the_o cross_n or_o of_o any_o other_o of_o his_o action_n or_o suffering_n that_o the_o one_o may_v yield_v as_o just_a and_o peremptory_a a_o cause_n thereof_o as_o the_o

in_o equal_a rank_n with_o that_o which_o christ_n have_v ordain_v because_o he_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o christ_n have_v good_a reason_n for_o the_o institution_n of_o that_o day_n which_o have_v not_o be_v valuable_a for_o any_o other_o day_n and_o that_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n particular_o and_o of_o no_o more_o he_o will_v have_v all_o christian_n to_o know_v that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o attempt_v to_o institute_v any_o other_o beside_o that_o which_o he_o have_v institute_v 9_o constantine_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o far_o great_a rashness_n

word_n of_o sozomen_n who_o make_v no_o odds_n between_o the_o ordinance_n make_v for_o friday_n and_o that_o which_o be_v make_v for_o sunday_n but_o see_v constantine_n in_o what_o he_o do_v do_v nothing_o amiss_o it_o be_v evident_a thereby_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o sunday_n be_v not_o of_o divine_a institution_n but_o of_o usage_n and_o custom_n only_o which_o be_v not_o receive_v
