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

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
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

in_o from_o labour_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o some_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o rest_n that_o so_o a_o man_n may_v so_o work_v one_o week_n as_o he_o may_v work_v a_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n also_o for_o man_n so_o to_o follow_v their_o work_n as_o they_o may_v go_v on_o &_o continue_v with_o they_o &_o not_o like_o unskilful_a

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

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

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

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

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
if_o god_n sabbath_n come_v into_o question_n they_o all_o forsake_v they_o like_a as_o the_o disciple_n do_v christ_n when_o he_o be_v apprehend_v nay_o worse_o they_o turn_v enemy_n unto_o they_o they_o nickname_v they_o reproachful_o and_o smite_v they_o with_o the_o tongue_n call_v they_o juish_v &_o judaisme_n and_o ceremony_n &_o shadow_n why_o be_v it_o that_o this_o part_n of_o god_n
