in_o the_o verse_n follow_v of_o this_o five_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthew_n now_o according_a to_o this_o sense_n which_o be_v true_a and_o natural_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o which_o

the_o second_o chapter_n and_o ten_o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n say_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o because_o the_o same_o god_n who_o have_v enjoin_v one_o of_o the_o point_n have_v also_o enjoin_v all_o the_o rest_n whence_o they_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o inobservation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o point_n of_o the_o law_n make_v a_o man_n guilty_a of_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n that_o therefore_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n thereof_o for_o i_o answer_v in_o few_o word_n that_o indeed_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o to_o fail_v or_o to_o commit_v a_o sin_n against_o any_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n make_v he_o that_o commit_v it_o guilty_a of_o the_o universal_a transgression_n of_o the_o law_n but_o i_o deny_v the_o inobservation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n a_o sin_n and_o a_o fault_n proper_o so_o call_v because_o in_o so_o far_o as_o it_o command_v the_o sabbath_n it_o

a_o fault_n and_o a_o sin_n in_o any_o point_n as_o saint_n james_n understand_v it_o so_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o that_o have_v keep_v the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n if_o he_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n thereof_o shall_v make_v himself_o guilty_a of_o all_o that_o say_v shall_v be_v true_a according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o saint_n james_n but_o if_o any_o shall_v infer_v upon_o this_o that_o not_o to_o observe_v still_o under_o the_o gospel_n all_o the_o legal_a ceremony_n because_o they_o make_v a_o part_n and_o be_v point_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o trangression_n whereby_o a_o christian_a be_v make_v guilty_a of_o all_o this_o word_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v they_o all_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o absurd_a illation_n for_o not_o to_o keep_v these_o ceremony_n now_o be_v not_o a_o fault_n nor_o sin_n to_o we_o because_o they_o oblige_v not_o any_o more_o no_o man_n sin_v against_o a_o law_n or_o word_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o oblige_v but_o neither_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o command_v the_o legal_a ceremony_n nor_o the_o decalogue_n as_o it_o command_v the_o sabbath_n be_v any_o more_o obligatory_a to_o we_o ward_n wherefore_o we_o sin_v not_o now_o by_o not_o observe_v these_o point_n and_o therefore_o we_o make_v not_o our_o â—â—lves_n in_o that_o behalf_n guilty_a of_o the_o law_n and_o word_n of_o god_n who_o be_v author_n of_o all_o the_o point_n of_o this_o law_n and_o of_o this_o word_n but_o have_v not_o give_v they_o all_o to_o all_o man_n nor_o to_o continue_v in_o all_o time_n but_o
