for_o on_o these_o day_n we_o rest_v also_o other_o have_v this_o for_o a_o argument_n they_o affirm_v that_o by_o sabbath_n day_n &_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o com._n may_v be_v mean_v not_o the_o

sabbath_n &_o seven_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o sabbath_n and_o of_o a_o seven_o day_n that_o therefore_o they_o must_v so_o be_v take_v with_o they_o then_o this_o be_v a_o necessary_a

v._o 8.9.10.11_o there_o be_v not_o above_o 15_o or_o 16_o verse_n in_o all_o the_o moral_a law_n now_o whosoever_o reject_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n you_o see_v he_o make_v

unto_o the_o least_o letter_n to_o last_v for_o ever_o he_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o christ_n ratify_v the_o very_a lest_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o least_o letter_n to_o last_v for_o ever_o therefore_o christ_n ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n as_o for_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n it_o be_v clear_a of_o itself_o for_o nothing_o therein_o can_v be_v doubt_v of_o for_o admit_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v the_o least_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n why_o then_o he_o that_o ratify_v every_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o very_a lest_o
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

they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o

and_o why_o the_o commandment_n shall_v be_v express_v by_o this_o word_n remember_v the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o render_v by_o divin_n be_v to_o prevent_v carelessness_n and_o forgetfulness_n on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n next_o ensue_v lest_o man_n shall_v leave_v some_o common_a work_n of_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o any_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n this_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n because_o that_o by_o man_n not_o forthink_v of_o the_o sabbath_n some_o work_n be_v leave_v undo_v on_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n be_v profane_v and_o the_o four_o come_v transgress_v for_o see_v that_o we_o be_v in_o like_a danger_n of_o break_v every_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n by_o a_o carelessness_n and_o a_o not_o forthink_v of_o our_o duty_n in_o they_o enjoin_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v needful_a therefore_o to_o have_v have_v a_o memorandum_n

take_v leave_n to_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n i_o can_v find_v out_o a_o better_a reason_n than_o this_o god_n foresee_v that_o after_o a_o long_a time_n that_o be_v about_o 364_o year_n after_o christ_n for_o then_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n abolish_v by_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n as_o afterward_o you_o shall_v hear_v more_o this_o his_o sabbath_n day_n will_v be_v not_o in_o part_n

be_v forget_v it_o may_v in_o time_n by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o be_v bring_v to_o remembrance_n again_o which_o god_n grant_v if_o we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o 10_o com._n we_o shall_v find_v that_o nothing_o command_v in_o any_o of_o they_o be_v so_o whole_o and_o utter_o bury_v and_o forget_v as_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v when_o they_o

and_o lest_o it_o rise_v again_o they_o have_v cast_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n upon_o it_o calling_z it_o jewish_a and_o judaisme_n and_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n and_o a_o bury_v abolish_v ceremony_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o to_o bring_v it_o out_o of_o remembrance_n now_o though_o papist_n have_v foul_o forget_v the_o 2d_o come_v yet_o all_o protestant_n remember_v it_o well_o enough_o

of_o all_o the_o argument_n &_o reason_n whereby_o they_o urge_v people_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n you_o shall_v never_o hear_v they_o make_v any_o use_n at_o all_o of_o this_o

it_z in_o the_o four_o comm._n be_v abolish_v as_o themselves_o say_v &_o teach_v for_o they_o teach_v that_o by_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n rom._n 14.5_o gal._n 4.10_o and_o colos_n 2.16.17_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o

by_o this_o reason_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o neither_o the_o prophet_n nor_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o live_v after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n in_o joshua_n his_o time_n until_o

for_o what_o necessity_n be_v here_o in_o this_o text_n to_o move_v a_o man_n to_o oppose_v god_n in_o his_o sabbath_n 2._o i_o prove_v their_o ground_n false_a whereon_o they_o build_v they_o suppose_v the_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v know_v because_o of_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n but_o i_o prove_v that_o long_o after_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v

be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o must_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n half_o a_o year_n together_o for_o in_o some_o country_n there_o be_v half_a a_o year_n light_a or_o day_n together_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o be_v it_o good_a also_o against_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o how_o shall_v all_o nationes_fw-la be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n see_v that_o then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o lord_n day_n half_o a_o year_n long_o &_o c_o 2._o i_o answer_v by_o like_a reason_n a_o man_n may_v thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o 5_o come_v belong_v not_o unto_o all_o man_n because_o some_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o it_o as_o a_o king_n who_o father_n &_o mother_n be_v dead_a but_o what_o &_o if_o the_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_a live_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o 5_o come_v shall_v none_o of_o his_o subject_n therefore_o who_o have_v parent_n and_o superior_n live_v be_v bind_v unto_o the_o 5_o come_v &_o so_o what_o if_o some_o one_o country_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o of_o the_o exceed_a length_n and_o discommodiousness_n of_o their_o day_n shall_v not_o we_o &_o other_o nation_n therefore_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n

say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v thy_o neighbour_n ass_n now_o thousand_o in_o our_o country_n have_v no_o ass_n will_v they_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o such_o man_n among_o we_o who_o neighbour_n have_v ass_n be_v not_o forbid_v to_o covet_v their_o neighbour_n ass_n because_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o 10_o come_v do_v not_o reach_v unto_o every_o man_n other_o object_n that_o we_o can_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o our_o saturday_n begin_v not_o just_a at_o the_o some_o point_n of_o time_n when_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n begin_v in_o canaan_n but_o by_o the_o

5_o duty_n which_o be_v the_o absolute_a nature_n foremention_v they_o may_v remain_v still_o suppose_v therefore_o that_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o all_o sign_n be_v abolish_v or_o that_o all_o

all_o this_o it_o may_v remain_v still_o as_o a_o sacred_a day_n and_o time_n for_o god_n worship_n as_o a_o day_n to_o keep_v memory_n of_o the_o creation_n still_o as_o a_o fit_a time_n to_o

2.16.17_o the_o which_o other_o man_n do_v make_v to_o fight_v together_o like_o deadly_a enemy_n before_o i_o conclude_v this_o section_n let_v i_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v on_o all_o occationes_fw-la distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n &_o the_o anniversary_n sabbath_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n for_o these_o begin_v but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o begin_v before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o because_o god_n sanctify_v and_o hallow_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n genes_n 2.3_o the_o which_o honour_n he_o do_v not_o to_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o precept_n but_o that_o also_o by_o precedent_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o destination_n only_o but_o that_o be_v holy_a by_o consecration_n also_o 3._o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a in_o themselves_o the_o one_o be_v once_o every_o week_n the_o other_o once_o every_o year_n 4._o because_o god_n place_v the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o first_o table_n thereof_o but_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v exclude_v thence_o and_o never_o come_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n 5._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o and_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o belong_v unto_o all_o man_n alike_o but_o so_o be_v it_o not_o with_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o shall_v distinguish_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n from_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n according_a as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o all_o my_o answer_n sect_n xx._n have_v in_o the_o former_a section_n of_o this_o

still_o in_o force_n now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o purpose_v to_o spend_v this_o last_o section_n of_o this_o chapter_n in_o a_o disswasory-declaration_n of_o the_o common_a sin_n of_o our_o

for_o they_o in_o this_o point_n make_v more_o sin_n than_o ever_o god_n make_v they_o deal_v by_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o player_n do_v with_o some_o of_o their_o fellow_n who_o they_o make_v a_o

may_v honour_v this_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n they_o have_v make_v it_o a_o counterfeit_a sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o by_o miscal_v of_o it_o sabbath_n day_n like_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v cale_fw-la one_o man_n by_o a_o other_o man_n name_n thus_o they_o have_v rob_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o its_o proper_a &_o honourable_a name_n that_o they_o may_v robe_n and_o

what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n

it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o

that_o he_o inform_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v with_o their_o manna_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereof_o they_o be_v ignorant_a before_o for_o this_o see_v the_o context_n in_o v._o 19_o

the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o israelite_n whence_o they_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n it_o have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o sign_n unto_o the_o israelit_n then_o unto_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o this_o argument_n false_o suppose_v the_o argument_n have_v have_v more_o colour_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o institution_n no_o more_o than_o the_o rock_n be_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o creation_n 1._o cor._n 10.4_o the_o sabbath_n become_v a_o sign_n but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n as_o we_o see_v exod._n 31.13_o the_o sign_n be_v but_o adventitiouse_a &_o add_v to_o the_o sabbath_n after_o its_o institution_n wherefore_o the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o sign_n as_o well_o unto_o gentile_n as_o unto_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n among_o the_o jew_n only_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sign_n unto_o jew_n and_o none_o unto_o gentile_n since_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o a_o sign_n original_o as_o it_o be_v when_o it_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o jew_n and_o gentile_n this_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o force_n iii_o again_o they_o reason_v thus_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o people_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o profane_v of_o his_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n but_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n but_o only_o the_o jew_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v obliterated_a before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n sabbath_n &_o so_o god_n in_o mercy_n may_v spare_v they_o the_o time_n of_o this_o ignorance_n god_n regard_v not_o say_v paul_n act._n 17.30_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o clear_a light_n than_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v the_o more_o obnoxious_a and_o these_o the_o less_o 2._o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o sabbath_n break_v how_o know_v they_o this_o since_o all_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o write_v much_o less_o the_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o gentile_n 3._o by_o the_o like_a absurd_a reason_n we_o may_v prove_v that_o other_o of_o the_o moral_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n because_o god_n never_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o neither_o so_o much_o for_o this_o argument_n four_o last_o they_o argue_v from_o deut._n 5.2.3_o where_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v not_o this_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o who_o be_v alive_a this_o day_n etc._n etc._n here_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n say_v it_o be_v not_o make_v with_o their_o forefather_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n i_o answer_v 1._o if_o these_o word_n be_v take_v proper_o than_o they_o will_v make_v as_o much_o against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n as_o against_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n now_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n for_o we_o read_v of_o diverse_a part_n thereof_o in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n 2._o whereas_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v this_o covenant_n with_o they_o alive_a only_a in_o horeb_n v._n 2._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o make_v in_o horeb_n but_o before_o for_o we_o read_v of_o one_o branch_n of_o this_o covenant_n make_v at_o least_o a_o month_n before_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n &_o that_o be_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v there_o call_v exod._n 16.23.28_o for_o these_o cause_n a_o other_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n must_v be_v give_v thus_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v understod_a that_o the_o lord_n make_v not_o that_o covenant_n with_o their_o father_n that_o be_v not_o with_o they_o so_o express_o and_o apparent_o with_o such_o terror_n and_o such_o majesty_n as_o with_o those_o alive_a at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n like_a text_n require_v like_o exposition_n see_v eph._n 6.7_o psal_n 51.16_o jerem._n 31.34_o thus_o we_o see_v this_o text_n make_v nothing_o against_o the_o sabbath_n antiquity_n &_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n allege_v by_o gomarus_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr origine_fw-la sabbathi_o and_o how_o weak_o you_o have_v see_v thus_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o reason_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o reason_n for_o the_o antiquity_n thereof_o touch_v which_o let_v this_o be_v note_v that_o i_o do_v not_o determine_v whither_o the_o sabbath_n be_v institute_v in_o paradise_n before_o man_n fall_n or_o instant_o &_o immediate_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v i._o my_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o word_n so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v genes_n 2.3_o after_o that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o 6_o day_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o ever_o after_o he_o rest_v from_o that_o work_n in_o memory_n whereof_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v god_n consecrate_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o by_o consecrate_v it_o he_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n above_o all_o the_o day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n for_o to_o sanctify_v &_o consecrate_v a_o day_n to_o hallow_v a_o day_n &_o to_o make_v a_o day_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n i_o take_v to_o be_v all_o one_o now_o the_o question_n may_v be_v whither_o god_n do_v sanctify_v this_o day_n for_o himself_o
to_o rest_v in_o or_o for_o man_n if_o not_o for_o both_o i_o rather_o think_v for_o man_n for_o as_o for_o god_n he_o rest_v no_o more_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o on_o the_o 8_o 9th_o and_o 10_o day_n and_o so_o every_o day_n after_o but_o to_o man_n it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o he_o may_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o work_v on_o the_o 8_o 9th_o and_o 10_o day_n etc._n etc._n yea_o many_o holy_a day_n god_n have_v make_v since_o the_o creation_n levit._n 23._o but_o it_o can_v no_o where_n be_v show_v that_o he_o make_v any_o for_o himself_o but_o always_o for_o man_n yet_o more_o plain_o that_o god_n sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o man_n use_n it_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o where_o the_o lord_n use_v a_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o it_o be_v this_o because_o god_n himself_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n bless_v it_o and_o hallow_v it_o which_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n genes_n 2.3_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v you_o shall_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o i_o bless_v it_o and_o sanctify_v it_o at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o self_n same_o end_n hereby_o than_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v sanctify_v with_o reference_n unto_o man_n yet_o further_o it_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n mark_n 2.27_o say_n the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o when_o god_n make_v the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n he_o make_v it_o for_o man_n thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n hereunto_o some_o answer_n that_o the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v exemplary_a indeed_o but_o not_o obligatory_a until_o the_o four_o come_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o distinction_n shall_v thus_o appear_v 1._o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o four_o come_v do_v not_o bind_v until_o it_o be_v deliver_v on_o mount_n sinai_n then_o do_v none_o of_o the_o other_o nine_o

be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n 2._o it_o be_v most_o strange_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v a_o example_n more_o than_o 2000_o year_n before_o any_o shall_v follow_v it_o for_o wherefore_o be_v example_n but_o for_o to_o be_v imitate_v 3._o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n mark_n 2.27_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o it_o be_v make_v at_o

and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n at_o the_o creation_n and_o then_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v profane_v and_o pollute_v for_o 2000_o year_n after_o until_o the_o isralite_n come_v into_o the_o

of_o never_o 2000_o year_n after_o and_o not_o for_o the_o patriarch_n also_o who_o live_v before_o the_o flood_n or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o flood_n have_v

to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o the_o four_o come_v must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o nine_o commandment_n of_o

be_v absurd_o suppose_v that_o the_o decalogue_n have_v not_o always_o 10_o commandment_n in_o it_o as_o it_o have_v deut._n 10.4_o if_o then_o the_o four_o come_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o

16.1.23_o well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v not_o soon_o mention_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o soon_o in_o use_n the_o law_n against_o murder_n it_o be_v not_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v
