Sanctification, are clearly discussed, which were first handled more largely in sundry sermons in Cambridge in New-England in opening of the Fourth COmmandment : in unfolding whereof many scriptures are cleared, divers cases of conscience resolved, and the morall law as a rule of life to a believer, occasionally and distinctly handled / by Thomas Shepard ...

it_o be_v perhaps_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v set_v among_o moral_a law_n in_o the_o decalogue_n be_v original_o and_o essential_o moral_a and_o yet_o be_v set_v among_o ceremonial_a feast-daye_n

i_o think_v it_o difficult_a to_o find_v out_o although_o man_n wanton_a wit_n can_v easy_o allegorise_v and_o ready_o frame_v imagination_n enough_o in_o this_o point_n some_o thing_n it_o typify_v

of_o it_o in_o paradise_n he_o make_v two_o other_o cause_n which_o he_o call_v accessary_a or_o affix_v and_o add_v to_o it_o 1._o one_o be_v civil_a or_o civil_a 2.3_o that_o man_n and_o beast_n

than_o any_o other_o i_o have_v yet_o hear_v of_o against_o which_o i_o know_v many_o thing_n may_v be_v object_v only_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o clear_v up_o the_o place_n against_o that_o which_o mr._n brabourne_n answer_v to_o it_o thesis_n 23._o the_o deliverance_n 〈◊〉_d of_o egypt_n say_v he_o be_v not_o 〈…〉_z as_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o only_o as_o a_o motive_n to_o the_o observation_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v more_o general_a in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o decalogue_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o every_o other_o command_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o ceremonial_a for_o god_n say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n who_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o egypt_n therefore_o keep_v thou_o the_o first_o the_o second_o the_o three_o the_o five_o the_o six_o as_o well_o as_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o we_o may_v make_v every_o commandment_n ceremonial_a as_o well_o as_o the_o sabbath_n if_o the_o motive_n of_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n make_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v so_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o sinew_n of_o his_o discourse_n herein_o and_o i_o confess_v its_o true_a their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n be_v not_o the_o first_o ground_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o but_o god_n rest_v after_o his_o six_o day_n labour_n yet_o it_o be_v such_o a_o ground_n as_o we_o contend_v for_o viz._n a_o secondary_a and_o a_o annex_v or_o affix_v ground_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o motive_n only_o to_o observe_v that_o day_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o decalogue_n but_o a_o superadded_a ground_n of_o it_o may_v appear_v from_o this_o one_o consideration_n viz._n because_o that_o very_a ground_n on_o which_o the_o lord_n urge_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o exod._n 20.11_o it_o be_v whole_o leave_v out_o in_o the_o repetition_n of_o the_o law_n deut._n 5.15_o and_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n put_v into_o the_o room_n thereof_o for_o the_o ground_n in_o exod._n 20.11_o be_v this_o six_o day_n god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o but_o instead_o of_o these_o word_n and_o of_o this_o ground_n we_o find_v other_o word_n put_v into_o their_o room_n deut._n 5.15_o remember_v thou_o be_v a_o servant_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n bring_v thou_o out_o thence_o with_o a_o mighty_a hand_n therefore_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n command_v thou_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n which_o seem_v to_o argue_v strong_o that_o these_o word_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a motive_n but_o another_o ground_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o general_a motive_n in_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o decalogue_n serve_v as_o a_o sufficient_a motive_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o this_o commandment_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o motive_n in_o these_o word_n of_o deutr._n and_o therefore_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v also_o the_o ground_n and_o affix_v type_n unto_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n thesis_n 24._o but_o still_o the_o difficulty_n remain_v for_o master_n brabourne_n will_v say_v that_o those_o be_v but_o humane_a reason_n but_o what_o ground_n be_v there_o from_o scripture_n for_o the_o institution_n of_o another_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o abrogation_n of_o the_o old_a which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o clear_v i_o confess_v this_o cause_n sink_v here_o therefore_o let_v it_o be_v again_o observe_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v such_o evidence_n from_o scripture_n concern_v this_o change_n as_o fond_a and_o humorous_a wit_n sometime_o plead_v for_o in_o this_o controversy_n namely_o that_o christ_n shall_v 〈◊〉_d

first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n institute_v in_o its_o room_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o all_o christian_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n manner_n so_o to_o

apostle_n preach_v common_o upon_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n sometime_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n also_o and_o therefore_o the_o bare_a exercise_n of_o holy_a duty_n on_o a_o day_n be_v no_o sufficient_a argument_n that_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n for_o then_o there_o may_v be_v two_o sabbath_n yea_o many_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n
