shall_v still_o have_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o i_o have_v specify_v nay_o he_o know_v that_o among_o the_o faithful_a jew_n the_o best_a instruct_v shall_v tie_v themselves_o for_o a_o certain_a space_n of_o time_n after_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o certain_a legal_a ceremony_n and_o special_o of_o the_o sabbath_n although_o of_o

of_o if_o that_o have_v be_v true_a and_o it_o have_v be_v needless_a to_o allege_v any_o other_o reason_n 9_o this_o be_v also_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v that_o sozomen_n join_v the_o friday_n

make_v use_v of_o that_o which_o be_v note_v in_o diverse_a place_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o in_o the_o chapter_n 13._o verse_n 14_o 43_o 44._o and_o 16._o verse_n 13._o and_o 17._o

and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n there_o 2_o for_o this_o argument_n if_o it_o be_v good_a for_o any_o thing_n will_v prove_v that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o jewish_a sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n the_o last_o of_o the_o week_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v because_o in_o the_o foresay_a place_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o that_o day_n only_o but_o the_o go_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o synagogue_n on_o that_o day_n come_v not_o from_o any_o obligation_n of_o the_o law_n tie_v they_o to_o the_o sabbath_n nor_o from_o any_o religious_a respect_n to_o that_o day_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v still_o a_o necessary_a point_n of_o god_n service_n but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o ordinary_a day_n of_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o they_o desire_v to_o convert_v and_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v present_a at_o such_o time_n and_o place_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v meet_v in_o to_o wit_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o in_o their_o

16._o i_o add_v that_o they_o apply_v themselves_o in_o this_o point_n as_o in_o many_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n to_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o jew_n acts._n 15._o v_o 3_o 29._o act_n 16._o

for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o faithful_a christian_n convert_v from_o the_o jewish_a religion_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n keep_v still_o a_o great_a zeal_n for_o the_o ceremony_n as_o

keep_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v particular_o and_o careful_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n without_o any_o occasion_n of_o condescent_n to_o the_o religion_n and_o devotion_n of_o the_o jew_n towards_o the_o sabbath_n do_v allege_v the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n verse_n 42_o 43_o 44._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n go_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o gentile_n beseech_v they_o that_o they_o will_v preach_v the_o word_n
