people_n will_v have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o this_o part_n of_o god_n law_n they_o must_v get_v it_o themselves_o by_o their_o own_o study_n of_o the_o point_n they_o must_v search_v my_o book_n for_o god_n sabbath_n and_o their_o book_n &_o sermon_n against_o god_n sabbath_n &_o unpartial_o weigh_v the_o argument_n on_o both_o side_n without_o any_o regard_n have_v at_o all_o to_o the_o

to_o be_v further_o enlighten_v in_o the_o point_n as_o i_o appeal_v to_o their_o conscience_n if_o i_o say_v not_o true_a of_o they_o further_o the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v that_o their_o mind_n &_o judgement_n be_v forestale_v against_o this_o point_n before_o they_o read_v or_o study_v the_o point_n for_o many_o minister_n yea_o the_o most_o who_o never_o study_v the_o point_n no_o nor_o

12.42_o nevertheless_o among_o the_o chief_a ruler_n many_o believe_v in_o he_o but_o because_o of_o the_o pharise_n they_o do_v not_o confess_v he_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o

etc._n will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o because_o moses_n teld_v the_o jsraelite_n that_o that_o day_n present_a be_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n therefore_o they_o know_v not_o so_o much_o before_o the_o contrary_n be_v plain_a but_o two_o verse_n before_o for_o in_o exod._n 16.23_o moses_n have_v teld_v they_o over_o night_n or_o the_o day_n before_o that_o on_o the_o morrow_n shall_v be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o text_n therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understod_a as_o if_o moses_n have_v inform_v they_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereof_o they_o be_v before_o ignoramnt_n but_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 moses_n have_v say_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v leave_v of_o their_o manna_n till_o the_o morning_n now_o since_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n they_o have_v gather_v enough_o for_o that_o day_n and_o for_o the_o next_o day_n v._n 22._o the_o ruler_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o do_v with_o this_o overplus_n for_o moses_n have_v say_v they_o shall_v keep_v none_o until_o the_o next_o day_n therefore_o the_o ruler_n come_v unto_o moses_n for_o counsel_n in_o this_o matter_n v._o 22_o hereupon_o moses_n inform_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v with_o their_o overplus_n of_o ma●n●_n on_o the_o

19_o moses_n have_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o lay_v up_o any_o manna_n till_o the_o morning_n he_o do_v here_o expound_v himself_o in_o v._o 23._o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o precept_n be_v

morning_n thus_o you_o see_v this_o text_n clere_v and_o nothing_o for_o their_o purpose_n ii_o again_o they_o reason_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o exod._n 31.13_o where_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

christ_n this_o text_n than_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n but_o not_o for_o observation_n object_n vi_o one_o text_n more_o they_o object_n rom._n 7.6_o but_o now_o we_o

unto_o the_o former_a to_o wit_n that_o by_o the_o law_n be_v understand_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n or_o the_o law_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o penalty_n and_o curse_n thereof_o that_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n i_o make_v it_o appear_v by_o two_o reason_n from_o the_o context_n 1._o see_v v._o 4._o so_o you_o my_o brethren_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n now_o if_o christ_n have_v free_v we_o from_o the_o

curse_n and_o as_o hold_v we_o in_o bondage_n unto_o death_n for_o by_o death_n christ_n free_v we_o from_o death_n wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n or_o free_v from_o the_o la_o he_o consider_v the_o law_n as_o a_o kill_a letter_n and_o as_o it_o hold_v we_o in_o bondage_n unto_o death_n 2._o see_v v._o 5._o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o affection_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n have_v force_n in_o our_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n not_o simple_o but_o of_o the_o law_n as_o together_o with_o our_o corruption_n fructify_a unto_o death_n wherefore_o see_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o la_o as_o tend_v unto_o death_n it_o follow_v that_o when_o in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n he_o say_v we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n v._o 6._o he_o mean_v that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o poenalty_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o la_o or_o from_o the_o la_o as_o it_o respect_v the_o curse_n to_o wit_n eternal_a death_n and_o destruction_n so_o then_o here_o be_v nothing_o yet_o prove_v against_o the_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

a_o reformation_n be_v make_v diverse_a &_o sundry_a verse_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yea_o in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v as_o so_o many_o verse_n rend_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o quite_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o as_o so_o many_o cipher_n and_o also_o the_o decalogue_n or_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o teach_v and_o maintain_v in_o our_o church_n nor_o in_o any_o christian_a church_n beside_o in_o its_o integrity_n and_o perfection_n but_o only_o lame_o and_o maim_o if_o until_o a_o reformation_n the_o whole_a four_o commandment_n be_v utter_o and_o whole_o abolish_v both_o root_n and_o branch_n if_o until_o a_o reformation_n be_v make_v the_o land_n and_o kingdom_n wherein_o we_o live_v with_o all_o other_o christian_a church_n do_v live_v in_o the_o weekly_a profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n and_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n if_o i_o shall_v show_v unto_o you_o that_o until_o a_o reformation_n be_v make_v we_o sanctify_v a_o common_a and_o profane_a day_n and_o profane_v a_o sanctify_a and_o holy_a day_n and_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v and_o profaneness_n invade_v we_o and_o that_o a_o romish_a relic_n be_v honour_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n worship_n be_v daily_o neglect_v yea_o and_o corrupt_v with_o many_o other_o evile_v if_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o until_o a_o reformation_n the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n be_v commit_v by_o many_o in_o the_o land_n if_o i_o say_v i_o shall_v make_v these_o thing_n plain_o appear_v unto_o you_o than_o i_o trust_v you_o will_v say_v with_o i_o that_o it_o be_v high_a time_n that_o every_o man_n lie_v too_o his_o help_a hand_n for_o a_o reformation_n &_o that_o speedy_o i._o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o there_o be_v not_o many_o verse_n in_o the_o decalogue_n or_o 10_o commandment_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o four_o whole_a verse_n in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n which_o be_v as_o so_o many_o verse_n rend_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o for_o so_o many_o cipher_n and_o they_o be_v these_o verse_n the_o 8_o &_o verse_n the_o 9th_o and_o verse_n the_o 10_o and_o verse_n the_o 11_o of_o the_o xx_o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o six_o day_n for_o work_a day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v and_o the_o which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a we_o have_v not_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v more_o large_o prove_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o book_n &_o therefore_o a_o touch_n of_o they_o here_o be_v enough_o wherefore_o see_v we_o have_v not_o in_o use_n the_o thing_n specify_v and_o command_v in_o those_o iiij_o verse_n therefore_o those_o iiij_o verse_n be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v rend_v out_o of_o the_o sacred_a bible_n or_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o for_o cipher_n now_o be_v it_o not_o high_a time_n to_o stir_v when_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v thus_o abuse_v for_o we_o have_v but_o the_o brann_v or_o husk_n that_o be_v the_o bare_a word_n of_o the_o 4_o verse_n as_o for_o the_o flower_n &_o kernel_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o
