jew_n shall_v have_v do_v in_o that_o case_n when_o the_o sabbath_n be_v confess_o obligatory_a and_o so_o shall_v that_o man_n do_v now_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o thing_n that_o be_v moral_a by_o nature_n because_o they_o bound_v always_o and_o in_o all_o place_n alike_o be_v ever_o the_o same_o yet_o thing_n that_o be_v moral_a only_o by_o discipline_n admit_v variety_n through_o

be_v to_o keep_v the_o passeover_n on_o a_o different_a time_n by_o themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o at_o their_o return_n they_o be_v to_o return_v to_o the_o church_n observation_n second_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o order_n which_o i_o think_v you_o labour_n to_o maintain_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o sabbath_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o last_o and_o not_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o else_o not_o to_o be_v at_o all_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o some_o reason_n and_o circumstance_n even_o in_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v occasional_a and_o so_o changeable_a and_o yet_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v perpetual_a and_o immutable_a sabbath_n immutable_a and_o as_o one_o well_o observe_v diverse_a positive_a law_n which_o be_v moral_a &_o perpetual_a and_o bind_v all_o man_n in_o their_o generation_n though_o they_o be_v firm_a and_o immutable_a in_o themselves_o and_o in_o their_o obligation_n yet_o because_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n which_o they_o impose_v upon_o man_n and_o the_o man_n upon_o who_o the_o duty_n be_v impose_v be_v in_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n mutable_a and_o changeable_a and_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n of_o thing_n command_v in_o time_n place_n and_o other_o relation_n and_o respect_n do_v not_o at_o all_o change_n the_o law_n nor_o prove_v it_o ceremonial_a and_o changeable_a as_o for_o instance_n the_o law_n of_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v firm_a and_o unchangeable_a from_o the_o first_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v of_o he_o and_o yet_o the_o duty_n which_o he_o require_v be_v changeable_a and_o be_v change_v now_o under_o the_o gospel_n from_o that_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o circumstance_n for_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o come_v but_o we_o as_o come_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n now_o since_o christ_n do_v not_o make_v void_v but_o establish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n where_o israel_n corporeal_a deliverance_n be_v now_o change_v into_o israel_n ghostly_a deliverance_n so_o in_o the_o five_o commandment_n the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v proper_o the_o land_n mean_v which_o have_v that_o promise_n belong_v to_o it_o but_o now_o it_o be_v enlarge_v to_o all_o that_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n obey_v that_o commandment_n throughout_o the_o world_n so_o this_o commandment_n have_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o creation_n occasional_o affix_v unto_o it_o because_o that_o then_o the_o creation_n be_v god_n great_a and_o eminent_a work_n and_o be_v occasional_a and_o appoint_v for_o commemoration_n be_v therefore_o changeable_a whensoever_o he_o shall_v rest_v from_o a_o great_a work_n that_o better_a deserve_a commemoration_n then_o that_o and_o yet_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n remain_v unalterable_a which_o substance_n or_o unalterable_a part_n of_o the_o commandment_n consist_v in_o the_o number_n as_o seven_o be_v oppose_v to_o all_o other_o number_n and_o not_o in_o the_o order_n but_o may_v some_o say_v obj._n obj._n those_o allegation_n out_o of_o the_o first_o and_o five_o commandment_n hold_v not_o parallel_v with_o this_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n because_o they_o be_v only_o give_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o this_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n i_o answer_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v give_v for_o the_o church_n sake_n answ._n answ._n and_o therefore_o alterable_a according_a to_o god_n good_a pleasure_n and_o the_o state_n of_o the_o

annex_v to_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n to_o be_v take_v away_o and_o bring_v under_o by_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o well_o then_o may_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o then_o sabbath_n be_v alter_v by_o it_o when_o the_o curse_n be_v annul_v it_o be_v the_o church_n type_n or_o ceremony_n and_o that_o thing_n change_v wherein_o the_o ceremony_n consist_v to_o wit_n the_o

church_n they_o alter_v their_o gesture_n from_o stand_v to_o sit_v but_o still_o retain_v the_o passeover_n so_o we_o still_o retain_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n though_o we_o have_v alter_v the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o god_n example_n and_o now_o god_n have_v give_v we_o another_o example_n of_o another_o rest_n upon_o another_o day_n we_o imitate_v his_o

go_v together_o so_o they_o fare_v alike_o for_o the_o law_n be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n till_o christ_n come_v and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n on_o the_o last_o day_n who_o b●_n fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o one_o do_v inherit_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o other_o be_v annex_v thereunto_o and_o entail_v thereupon_o whereof_o man_n fail_v by_o his_o fall_n

sanctifi_v the_o sabbath_n and_o again_o by_o rest_v if_o it_o be_v carnal_a and_o unfruitful_a he_o may_v profane_v it_o second_o to_o argue_v from_o the_o profane_v to_o the_o sanctify_a be_v no_o
