what_o for_o a_o matter_n of_o 1000_o year_n such_o a_o feast_n as_o this_o so_o express_o command_v by_o god_n so_o utter_o omit_v in_o the_o time_n of_o so_o many_o godly_a prince_n and_o priest_n i_o think_v not_o rather_o that_o it_o have_v not_o be_v keep_v with_o such_o devotion_n and_o celebration_n from_o josuah_n till_o now_o which_o i_o think_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o mention_n be_v here_o make_v of_o the_o feast_n of_o booth_n for_o here_o we_o find_v v_o 18._o that_o all_o the_o 7._o day_n day_n after_o day_n the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v read_v and_o they_o have_v congregation_n to_o that_o purpose_n each_o day_n and_o then_o they_o have_v a_o solemn_a assembly_n on_o the_o 8._o day_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n by_o which_o word_n we_o see_v that_o the_o manner_n have_v be_v to_o have_v a_o solemn_a assembly_n on_o the_o 8._o day_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o manner_n have_v not_o be_v to_o have_v assembly_n and_o read_n from_o the_o first_o day_n to_o the_o last_o day_n no_o not_o from_o iosua_n time_n as_o it_o be_v now_o so_o that_o in_o iosuah_n time_n they_o do_v use_v to_o read_v the_o law_n in_o such_o order_n and_o manner_n as_o they_o do_v now_o in_o levit._n 23.35.36_o there_o be_v require_v a_o holy_a convocation_n only_o the_o first_o day_n and_o the_o last_o 8._o day_n do_v they_o more_o now_o in_o this_o feast_n than_o the_o very_a law_n itself_o require_v if_o they_o do_v they_o must_v have_v warrant_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o some_o revelation_n make_v to_o nehemiah_n ezra_n or_o some_o other_o for_o it_o which_o appear_v not_o or_o else_o who_o require_v this_o at_o their_o hand_n to_o do_v more_o than_o god_n command_v and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v i●nius_n and_o deodate_n in_o this_o and_o do_v rather_o think_v that_o in_o the_o feast_n of_o booth_n by_o the_o very_a law_n read_v of_o the_o word_n be_v 31.11_o require_v all_o the_o day_n though_o that_o the_o first_o &_o last_o be_v day_n of_o restraint_n more_o solemn_a convocation_n and_o great_a holy-day_n in_o which_o they_o may_v do_v no_o work_n as_o they_o may_v in_o the_o interim_n day_n and_o so_o john_n 3.7_o the_o last_o be_v call_v the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n i_o think_v there_o have_v be_v a_o omission_n of_o such_o read_v of_o the_o law_n viz._n day_n after_o day_n which_o be_v require_v by_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o law_n &_o have_v be_v in_o use_n till_o iosuah_n time_n but_o be_v discontinue_v from_o his_o time_n till_o now_o and_o now_o be_v bring_v into_o use_n again_o the_o manner_n have_v be_v continue_v to_o read_v on_o the_o 8._o day_n the_o solemn_a day_n but_o now_o it_o be_v do_v every_o day_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n and_o therefore_o
