of_o the_o law_n but_o be_v become_v a_o judge_n where_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n count_v it_o as_o a_o mischief_n and_o a_o vice_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v no_o observer_n of_o the_o law_n of_o this_o vice_n be_v our_o antinomian_o guilty_a for_o they_o will_v be_v no_o observer_n or_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n and_o here_o we_o have_v the_o very_a word_n in_o question_n betwixt_o we_o

abolish_v in_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o unto_o believer_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v 1._o because_o all_o the_o law_n and_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o all_o the_o direction_n to_o lead_v a_o godly_a lief_a from_o the_o begin_n of_o genesis_n to_o the_o end_n of_o malachi_n be_v refer_v to_o one_o of_o these_o law_n the_o moral_a judicall_a or_o ceremonial_a if_o then_o they_o reject_v the_o moral_a law_n much_o more_o will_v they_o reject_v the_o judicall_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o if_o they_o reject_v the_o moral_a law_n then_o will_v they_o reject_v all_o

the_o three_o law_n the_o moral_a judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a with_o all_o their_o appurtenance_n 2._o so_o much_o they_o do_v imply_v by_o say_v they_o be_v not_o under_o moses_n but_o under_o

body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v

a_o sabbath_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n unto_o servant_n now_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o take_v care_n for_o servant_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v unmerciful_o oppress_v with_o labour_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v add_v to_o the_o four_o come_v that_o thy_o m●n_z servant_n and_o thy_o ma●de_n may_v rest_v as_o well_o as_o thou_o deut._n 5.14_o what_o do_v this_o teach_v we_o but_o that_o master_n must_v show_v mercy_n unto_o their_o servant_n by_o rest_v of_o their_o body_n as_o well_o as_o of_o their_o own_o for_o if_o the_o one_o have_v need_n of_o rest_n so_o have_v the_o

not_o that_o we_o have_v good_a law_n in_o this_o case_n provide_v for_o servant_n by_o forbid_v master_n to_o do_v their_o work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n some_o unmerciful_a hard-hearted_a and_o

now_o in_o force_n whereby_o for_o the_o benefit_n ease_n and_o refreshment_n of_o poor_a servant_n it_o be_v enact_v not_o doubt_n that_o many_o holy_a day_n shall_v be_v observe_v yearly_a &_o weekly_a in_o the_o 3d_o place_n i_o come_v to_o beast_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n that_o so_o we_o may_v show_v mercy_n unto_o our_o beast_n for_o god_n be_v wont_v to_o

may_v soon_o have_v his_o skin_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v consider_v of_o the_o needfulness_n ca_fw-mi sabbath_n day_n in_o civil_a respect_n now_o i_o come_v to_o show_v the_o needfullnesse_n of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o religiouse_a respect_n that_o god_n may_v be_v solemn_o and_o publiky_a worship_v &_o that_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n may_v be_v further_o edify_v in_o their_o most_o holy_a faith_n for_o these_o two_o cause_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o spend_v time_n to_o amplify_v these_o two_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v so_o requisite_a and_o needful_a that_o all_o man_n will_v grante_v i_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o day_n set_v a_o part_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n &_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o omit_v what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o our_o church_n do_v now_o celebrate_v many_o holy_a day_n for_o the_o same_o end_n &_o not_o only_o the_o saint_n day_n yearly_a but_o also_o the_o lord_n day_n weekly_o 2._o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o good_a report_n phil._n 4.8_o &_o those_o thing_n therefore_o which_o all_o christian_a people_n approve_v and_o allow_v of_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v have_v in_o use_n papist_n they_o allow_v of_o rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o divine_a institution_n yet_o they_o keep_v and_o hold_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o wherein_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n and_o perform_v public_a worship_n unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o witeness_n hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o live_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n public_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n and_o so_o we_o have_v prove_v this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o one_o in_o 7_o day_n now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v his_o choice_n on_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o rest_n from_o labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v himself_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o possible_o find_v a_o more_o fit_a day_n to_o rest_n in_o then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
