that_o with_o a_o true_a hart_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o to_o confound_v also_o and_o condemn_v and_o leave_v without_o excuse_n before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n such_o as_o will_v

but_o how_o foolish_a it_o shall_v appear_v easy_o if_o we_o examine_v it_o a_o little_a more_o narrow_o for_o though_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o self_n same_o day_n that_o they_o do_v yet_o we_o have_v the_o same_o commandment_n &_o authority_n for_o our_o day_n that_o that_o they_o have_v for_o they_o therefore_o this_o day_n that_o we_o keep_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o revel_v 1._o

for_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o spirit_n which_o always_o assist_v they_o in_o their_o ministerial_a office_n do_v alter_v the_o day_n &_o themselves_o keep_v &_o ordain_v

the_o jew_n and_o be_v of_o no_o less_o force_n now_o then_o before_o then_o second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n and_o of_o our_o keep_v this_o day_n be_v no_o less_o than_o of_o their_o keep_v that_o day_n for_o when_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v than_o the_o memorial_n of_o that_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o now_o that_o a_o great_a &_o more_o excellent_a work_n be_v do_v namely_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o great_a work_n shall_v carry_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o day_n they_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n because_o on_o that_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n we_o this_o eight_o day_n because_o in_o it_o christ_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n which_o be_v a_o great_a work_n cause_v a_o change_n of_o the_o day_n sith_o then_o the_o day_n be_v not_o change_v without_o good_a warrant_n and_o strong_a reason_n that_o alteration_n and_o vary_v of_o the_o day_n detract_v nothing_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o force_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o the_o church_n may_v at_o their_o pleasure_n alter_v it_o that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o there_o can_v never_o be_v a_o authority_n great_a than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o a_o cause_n great_a than_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o neither_o can_v the_o day_n be_v change_v for_o to_o make_v a_o new_a day_n where_o no_o such_o warrant_n do_v allow_v nor_o no_o cause_n occasion_n it_o be_v to_o take_v more_o upon_o they_o than_o be_v fit_a for_o if_o the_o jew_n in_o former_a time_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v it_o holy_a have_v only_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o think_v upon_o and_o to_o remember_v by_o the_o celebrate_n of_o their_o seven_o day_n then_o how_o much_o more_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o this_o reverence_n and_o a_o great_a since_o beside_o this_o benefit_n of_o our_o make_n we_o have_v a_o great_a of_o our_o redeem_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n add_v unto_o it_o so_o that_o any_o one_o of_o the_o two_o ought_v to_o sanctify_v it_o more_o rather_o than_o to_o cast_v it_o of_o all_o together_o and_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o give_v this_o day_n whole_o to_o god_n by_o how_o much_o he_o have_v show_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o speak_v or_o think_v of_o this_o change_n but_o we_o shall_v also_o call_v to_o mind_n this_o great_a benefit_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o adam_n have_v cause_n to_o spend_v a_o day_n in_o praise_v god_n for_o his_o creation_n than_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n see_v beside_o that_o we_o have_v also_o the_o redemption_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n we_o keep_v not_o the_o self_n same_o day_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v therefore_o the_o duty_n be_v abollish_v and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v none_o then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n one_o may_v conclude_v thus_o you_o see_v we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o sacrament_n for_o the_o outward_a seal_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v for_o they_o have_v circumcision_n and_o they_o have_v the_o pascall_n lamb_n what_o tell_v you_o i_o of_o the_o consecrate_v water_n and_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n hallow_v the_o jew_n have_v no_o such_o matter_n since_o these_o sign_n be_v alter_v i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o ceremony_n and_o we_o need_v not_o regard_v baptism_n &_o the_o supper_n this_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n in_o this_o case_n for_o though_o the_o shadow_n be_v other_o yet_o the_o substance_n be_v the_o same_o christ_n jesus_n be_v signify_v by_o our_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o well_o as_o by_o their_o lamb_n and_o our_o baptism_n be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o regeneration_n as_o well_o as_o their_o circumcision_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o despise_v they_o but_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v careful_a to_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o they_o because_o the_o service_n be_v more_o easy_a &_o the_o promise_n more_o lightsome_a if_o then_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sacrament_n because_o the_o outward_a seal_n be_v alter_v than_o it_o be_v as_o weak_a a_o consequence_n that_o we_o have_v no_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v because_o the_o day_n be_v alter_v and_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o same_o that_o they_o do_v so_o that_o no_o proof_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o vary_a of_o the_o day_n that_o the_o duty_n be_v abolish_v because_o the_o authority_n be_v as_o strong_a the_o reason_n as_o good_a and_o the_o same_o reason_n do_v not_o hold_v in_o other_o thing_n again_o they_o object_n that_o to_o a_o christian_n every_o day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o restrain_v it_o to_o one_o day_n more_o than_o another_o but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o it_o be_v most_o false_a for_o god_n do_v not_o require_v neither_o be_v a_o christian_n able_a to_o keep_v every_o day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v on_o earth_n indeed_o in_o heaven_n he_o shall_v keep_v a_o continual_a sabbath_n unto_o the_o lord_n but_o now_o so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o otheir_o day_n as_o betwixt_o the_o consecrate_v bread_n we_o receive_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o the_o common_a bread_n we_o receive_v at_o our_o own_o table_n this_o be_v true_a that_o every_o one_o must_v serve_v god_n on_o the_o six_o day_n and_o all_o his_o life_n long_o but_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n we_o must_v not_o only_o serve_v god_n
for_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n now_o follow_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o commandment_n draw_v partly_o from_o god_n judgement_n against_o all_o false_a worshipper_n &_o from_o his_o mercy_n &_o kindness_n to_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n the_o judgement_n towards_o the_o breaker_n of_o this_o commandment_n be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o plague_v they_o &_o take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o in_o their_o own_o person_n but_o he_o will_v execute_v his_o wrath_n also_o on_o their_o seed_n &_o posterity_n to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n which_o be_v therefore_o set_v down_o because_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o persuade_v even_o that_o this_o be_v so_o great_a &_o fearful_a a_o sin_n when_o in_o a_o good_a meaning_n as_o they_o say_v they_o serve_v god_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o he_o have_v warrant_v &_o command_v the_o reason_n take_v from_o his_o kindness_n to_o those_o that_o be_v obedient_a because_o we_o be_v very_o slow_a and_o slack_a to_o the_o right_a service_n of_o god_n be_v to_o allure_v &_o provoke_v we_o because_o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o bless_v such_o a_o one_o in_o his_o own_o soul_n &_o body_n both_o in_o life_n &_o death_n but_o his_o blessing_n shall_v reach_v further_o even_o upon_o many_o generation_n in_o his_o posterity_n so_o that_o god_n will_v never_o leave_v blessing_n those_o that_o with_o a_o upright_o hart_n worship_v he_o in_o truth_n according_a to_o his_o word_n i_o be_o jehovah_n thy_o god_n a_o jealous_a strong_a god_n in_o these_o word_n call_v himself_o our_o god_n he_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a marriage_n betwixt_o god_n &_o we_o &_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a fact_n for_o a_o woman_n after_o her_o marriage_n &_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n betwixt_o they_o to_o defile_v her_o body_n with_o filthy_a adulterer_n so_o it_o be_v a_o much_o more_o heinous_a &_o abominable_a thing_n for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n after_o his_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o follow_v idol_n and_o image_n not_o content_v himself_o with_o the_o perfect_a beauty_n of_o christ_n then_o where_o he_o say_v a_o jealous_a god_n he_o compare_v

deal_v lewd_o and_o treacherous_o with_o he_o so_o christ_n jesus_n have_v love_v we_o most_o dear_o and_o give_v his_o blood_n for_o we_o but_o if_o we_o deal_v not_o chaste_o with_o he_o in_o this_o
