will_v not_o have_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v no_o not_o such_o necessary_a work_n as_o may_v save_v their_o life_n on_o the_o sabbath_n if_o they_o may_v be_v prevent_v &_o thus_o i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o four_o thing_n in_o my_o minor_n the_o 5_o and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v in_o my_o minor_n be_v that_o this_o flight_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v speak_v of_o to_o be_v about_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n &_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n that_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o vespasian_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o 40_o or_o 46._o year_n after_o

ceremony_n be_v prove_v by_o this_o that_o all_o ceremony_n end_v with_o christ_n upon_o the_o chrosse_n as_o you_o may_v read_v ephes_n 2.15_o colos_n 2.14_o now_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o a_o holy_a rest_n at_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o vespasian_n which_o be_v near_o 50_o year_n after_o christ_n passion_n at_o which_o time_n all_o ceremony_n end_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v near_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o confirm_v both_o propositiones_fw-la in_o my_o argument_n yet_o ay_o cale_fw-la to_o mind_n iij_o objection_n more_o that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o this_o argument_n the_o one_o be_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o respect_v so_o much_o unto_o the_o religion_n &_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o rather_o to_o this_o that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n to_o the_o safeguard_n of_o the_o life_n of_o those_o besiege_a for_o if_o they_o shall_v fly_v in_o the_o winter_n they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o foulness_n of_o the_o way_n and_o if_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v by_o their_o superstitiouse_a &_o needless_a conscience_n which_o they_o will_v make_v of_o the_o sabbath_n &_o so_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o their_o enemy_n shall_v surprise_v they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o make_v that_o speed_n that_o be_v fit_v in_o such_o a_o time_n of_o danger_n hereunto_o janswer_n 1._o it_o be_v agrosse_v conceit_n of_o any_o to_o account_v that_o obedience_n superstitiouse_a &_o

four_o come_v to_o be_v abolish_v 2._o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o slight_a on_o the_o sabbath_n he_o speak_v it_o in_o a_o religiouse_a respect_n but_o admit_v that_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o so_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o still_o that_o christ_n ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o in_o the_o winter_n the_o deepness_n of_o the_o way_n the_o shortness_n of_o the_o day_n &_o tediousness_n of_o the_o weather_n will_v aggravate_v their_o cross_n &_o hinder_v their_o speedy_a

that_o day_n wherein_o they_o be_v wont_v sweet_o to_o rest_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n &_o to_o praise_n god_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n &_o for_o that_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o will_v glad_o have_v sanctify_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n four_o come_v these_o thing_n will_v aggravate_v the_o cross_n and_o stick_v so_o in_o their_o mind_n as_o it_o will_v make_v their_o heart_n to_o fail_v they_o and_o so_o hinder_v their_o speedy_a flight_n thus_o the_o winter_n will_v be_v a_o impediment_n to_o their_o body_n and_o the_o sabbath_n will_v be_v a_o impediment_n to_o their_o soul_n &_o so_o the_o whole_a man_n will_v be_v disable_v for_o a_o speedy_a flight_n and_o for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n further_o more_o as_o touch_v their_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v imagine_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o unfit_a to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o on_o a_o week_n day_n or_o why_o shall_v their_o speedy_a flight_n be_v more_o hinder_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o on_o a_o other_o day_n if_o not_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o they_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o fly_v &_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n more_o than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v on_o that_o day_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o their_o conscience_n thereby_o he_o allow_v of_o &_o approve_v of_o their_o make_a conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n suppose_v our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v command_v agur_n prov._n 30.8.9_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o may_v not_o have_v too_o much_o lest_o he_o shall_v grow_v proud_a and_o haughty_a nor_o too_o little_a lest_o he_o shall_v

may_v not_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n lest_o thereby_o their_o conscience_n shall_v be_v offend_v &_o their_o heart_n fill_v with_o sorrow_n for_o profane_v god_n sabbath_n thereby_o christ_n allow_v of_o their_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o of_o their_o sorrow_n for_o profane_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v long_o before_o this_o siege_n as_o this_o objection_n suppose_v &_o so_o the_o conscience_n of_o christ_n disciple_n be_v but_o superstitiouse_a then_o will_v christ_n never_o have_v

they_o spend_v divine_a prayer_n for_o the_o satisfy_a the_o desire_n of_o a_o superstitiouse_a &_o needless_a conscience_n &_o have_v not_o this_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o holy_a prayer_n and_o of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o beg_v of_o he_o thing_n for_o their_o lust_n &_o vain_a desire_n if_o their_o conscience_n be_v a_o vain_a &_o needless_a conscience_n than_o they_o shall_v pray_v to_o

christ_n disciple_n be_v superstitiouse_a touch_v the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o will_v christ_n have_v reprove_v they_o for_o it_o and_o rather_o have_v rectify_v their_o judgement_n &_o teach_v they_o

the_o same_o for_o our_o minister_n have_v not_o yet_o sanctify_v their_o understanding_n from_o a_o profane_a opinion_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v have_v their_o help_n

for_o a_o season_n 2._o my_o answer_n shall_v be_v that_o i_o keep_v not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o i_o can_v keep_v it_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o i_o now_o i_o can_v keep_v it_o 1._o because_o

for_o want_v of_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o people_n and_o what_o &_o if_o he_o have_v not_o priest_n enough_o already_o sanctify_v or_o not_o sufficient_o sanctify_v why_o yet_o he_o may_v have_v

and_o why_o the_o commandment_n shall_v be_v express_v by_o this_o word_n remember_v the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o render_v by_o divin_n be_v to_o prevent_v carelessness_n and_o forgetfulness_n on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n next_o ensue_v lest_o man_n shall_v leave_v some_o common_a work_n of_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o any_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n this_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n because_o that_o by_o man_n not_o forthink_v of_o the_o sabbath_n some_o work_n be_v leave_v undo_v on_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n be_v profane_v and_o the_o four_o come_v transgress_v for_o see_v that_o we_o be_v in_o like_a danger_n of_o break_v every_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n by_o a_o carelessness_n and_o a_o not_o forthink_v of_o our_o duty_n in_o they_o enjoin_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v needful_a therefore_o to_o have_v have_v a_o memorandum_n

to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o such_o a_o reason_n therefore_o will_v be_v seek_v as_o agree_v to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o now_o in_o this_o point_n if_o i_o may_v take_v leave_n to_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n i_o can_v find_v out_o a_o better_a reason_n than_o this_o god_n foresee_v that_o after_o a_o long_a time_n that_o be_v about_o 364_o year_n after_o

to_o this_o day_n to_o prevent_v which_o forgetfulness_n and_o utter_a neglect_n of_o his_o sabbath_n day_n it_o please_v god_n to_o prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o come_v that_o so_o if_o it_o be_v forget_v it_o may_v in_o time_n by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o be_v bring_v to_o remembrance_n again_o which_o god_n grant_v if_o we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o 10_o com._n we_o shall_v find_v that_o nothing_o command_v in_o any_o of_o they_o be_v so_o whole_o and_o utter_o bury_v and_o forget_v as_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v when_o they_o

and_o lest_o it_o rise_v again_o they_o have_v cast_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n upon_o it_o calling_z it_o jewish_a and_o judaisme_n and_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n and_o a_o bury_v abolish_v ceremony_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o to_o bring_v it_o out_o of_o remembrance_n now_o though_o papist_n have_v foul_o forget_v the_o 2d_o come_v yet_o all_o protestant_n remember_v it_o well_o enough_o god_n be_v thank_v i_o know_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o all_o the_o 10._o commandment_n forget_v by_o reform_a church_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n only_o to_o wit_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n day_n and_o as_o for_o this_o this_o be_v forget_v of_o all_o both_o protestant_n and_o papist_n it_o be_v very_o needful_a therefore_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v prefix_v a_o memorandum_n to_o this_o

writing_n of_o the_o patron_n of_o this_o lord_n day_n to_o see_v their_o ground_n for_o it_o but_o yet_o among_o all_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v i_o can_v no_o where_n find_v a_o commandment_n for_o it_o allege_v by_o they_o out_o of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a thing_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o christ_n in_o the_o next_o place_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o where_o christ_n leave_v any_o commandment_n for_o it_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o his_o apostle_n here_o they_o be_v at_o a_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la they_o can_v find_v no_o come_v for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n no_o nor_o any_o exhortation_n to_o keep_v it_o nor_o promise_v or_o threaten_v to_o those_o who_o keep_v or_o profane_v it_o now_o this_o at_o the_o first_o entrance_n do_v breed_v a_o shrewd_a suspicion_n that_o this_o new_a

than_o i_o then_o be_v your_o lord_n day_n but_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o at_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n as_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o what_o be_v not_o command_v nor_o forbid_v that_o be_v indifferent_a so_o then_o as_o the_o church_n may_v baptise_v one_o soon_o or_o late_a so_o the_o church_n may_v keep_v your_o lord_n day_n and_o they_o may_v refuse_v to_o keep_v it_o if_o they_o please_v and_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o honour_n that_o you_o can_v raise_v your_o lord_n day_n to_o that_o it_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n so_o as_o the_o church_n may_v rest_v upon_o it_o or_o work_n upon_o it_o keep_v it_o or_o refuse_v to_o keep_v it_o at_o her_o pleasure_n for_o a_o command_v thing_n or_o day_n it_o be_v not_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n sect_n iv_o thus_o we_o have_v show_v that_o of_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o bring_v for_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o have_v never_o a_o commandment_n for_o it_o

it_z in_o the_o four_o comm._n be_v abolish_v as_o themselves_o say_v &_o teach_v for_o they_o teach_v that_o by_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n rom._n 14.5_o gal._n 4.10_o and_o colos_n 2.16.17_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o

a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o

in_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o minister_n against_o something_o command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o this_o opposition_n there_o arise_v difficulty_n

therefore_o rather_o follow_v god_n than_o their_o minister_n for_o god_n way_n be_v a_o plain_a smooth_a easy_a &_o beat_a way_n so_o as_o every_o man_n learn_v or_o unlern_v may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n

it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
break_v every_o week_n that_o be_v 50_o time_n in_o one_o year_n so_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v but_o a_o matter_n of_o 40_o or_o 50_o year_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n

sin_n be_v he_o guilty_a of_o let_v this_o be_v cerious_o think_v on_o furthermore_o if_o it_o do_v come_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o magistrate_n at_o any_o time_n to_o think_v of_o a_o

the_o right_a day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n they_o hold_v that_o abolish_v and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o that_o day_n well_o then_o come_v we_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o how_o

purity_n of_o the_o four_o come_v hold_v themselves_o close_a unto_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v dare_v they_o have_v keep_v the_o sabhath_n day_n so_o

blot_v our_o and_n rase_v the_o second_o come_v so_o as_o they_o have_v but_o 9_o commandment_n but_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o matter_n a_o little_a better_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o have_v blot_v out_o and_o raze_v also_o the_o four_o come_v and_o so_o they_o have_v but_o 8_o commandment_n for_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v neither_o the_o seven_o day_n nor_o the_o 8_o day_n so_o as_o the_o four_o come_v stand_v with_o they_o for_o a_o cipher_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v but_o 4_o commandment_n in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v raze_v out_o two_o of_o they_o &_o have_v lest_o but_o ij_o of_o they_o remain_v so_o then_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v reject_v two_o of_o god_n tenn_o commandment_n and_o retain_v but_o eight_o of_o they_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v four_o come_v in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v reject_v two_o of_o those_o four_o and_o retain_v but_o two_o still_o again_o look_v we_o upon_o the_o anabaptiste_n of_o who_o there_o be_v great_a multitude_n in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o they_o keep_v no_o sabbath_n day_n in_o conscience_n of_o any_o commandment_n from_o god_n but_o only_o for_o order_v sake_n &_o this_o their_o profaneness_n i_o must_v impute_v unto_o this_o sleit_v of_o the_o day_n mention_v in_o the_o four_o come_v as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n any_o man_n may_v see_v they_o do_v not_o that_o without_o a_o cause_n since_o there_o be_v no_o institution_n for_o it_o leave_v by_o christ_n and_o as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o seven_o

nevertheless_o this_o they_o will_v confess_v upon_o argument_n that_o if_o any_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n it_o must_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o evil_a effect_n have_v follow_v since_o the_o sleit_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n for_o papist_n keep_v no_o sabbath_n according_a to_o the_o four_o come_v and_o
