but_o that_o together_o with_o the_o day_n it_o must_v be_v quite_o casher_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n as_o unprofitable_a this_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n know_v that_o by_o the_o

the_o galatian_n false_o urge_v by_o some_o answer_v in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o say_v he_o be_v afraid_a that_o he_o have_v bestow_v his_o labour_n upon_o they_o in_o vain_a because_o they_o observe_v day_n and_o time_n but_o of_o those_o that_o urge_v this_o i_o will_v know_v whether_o they_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n condemn_v all_o set_a time_n or_o some_o only_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v all_o indifferent_o than_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o church_n at_o all_o to_o appoint_v any_o set_a time_n no_o not_o for_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o word_n

and_o good_a order_n now_o if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o it_o condemn_v but_o some_o set_a day_n than_o it_o either_o condemn_v those_o which_o the_o church_n then_o keep_v or_o those_o which_o the_o jew_n keep_v for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o three_o sort_n of_o day_n at_o that_o time_n if_o they_o shall_v say_v those_o which_o the_o church_n then_o keep_v i_o will_v know_v of_o they_o whether_o the_o church_n may_v not_o then_o as_o lawful_o appoint_v day_n for_o god_n service_n as_o now_o the_o apostle_n be_v then_o of_o the_o church_n and_o lead_v by_o that_o spirit_n that_o

both_o which_o thing_n if_o they_o will_v grant_v i_o see_v not_o how_o the_o apostle_n may_v just_o blame_v they_o for_o use_v their_o christian_n liberty_n in_o make_v choice_n of_o some_o day_n for_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n upon_o who_o if_o he_o may_v not_o just_o blame_v for_o use_v their_o liberty_n much_o less_o than_o may_v he_o so_o sharp_o rebuke_v they_o as_o to_o stand_v

have_v be_v so_o bad_a he_o shall_v have_v yet_o do_v much_o worse_o himself_o to_o have_v keep_v it_o with_o they_o which_o yet_o he_o do_v act._n 20._o 7._o but_o this_o he_o shall_v have_v add_v

church_n of_o galatia_n appoint_v collection_n to_o be_v make_v every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o we_o may_v see_v 1._o cor._n 16._o 1_o all_o which_o thing_n or_o any_o of_o they_o once_o to_o conceive_v of_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n be_v intolerable_a it_o remain_v therefore_o necessary_o that_o they_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o those_o jewish_a day_n and_o time_n and_o year_n and_o that_o they_o be_v such_o appear_v evident_o col._n 2._o 17_o where_o he_o show_v that_o these_o day_n be_v shadow_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v which_o only_o be_v proper_a to_o those_o jewish_a day_n and_o no_o other_o and_o indeed_o the_o truth_n be_v thus_o there_o be_v creep_v into_o these_o church_n certain_a false_a apostle_n that_o labour_v to_o join_v moses_n with_o christ_n and_o to_o enthral_v their_o conscience_n with_o the_o ceremonial_a yoke_n as_o though_o they_o be_v in_o conscience_n bind_v yet_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o retain_v of_o which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o in_o effect_n to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v who_o be_v the_o body_n of_o all_o those_o ceremonial_a shadow_n which_o he_o observe_v begin_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o they_o as_o

far_o from_o judaize_v as_o that_o we_o retain_v neither_o any_o conscience_n of_o their_o day_n nor_o yet_o the_o day_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n whereas_o they_o keep_v it_o upon_o the_o seven_o as_o have_v be_v heretofore_o sufficient_o declare_v that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o avoid_v all_o judaisme_n moreover_o be_v the_o day_n be_v change_v it_o will_v 11._o §._o sect._n 11._o be_v demand_v and_o of_o some_o be_v whether_o we_o ought_v not_o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o judaisme_n to_o forbear_v to_o call_v it_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereto_o for_o my_o part_n i_o answer_v that_o although_o i_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n ceremonial_a in_o the_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v yet_o i_o can_v never_o learn_v that_o the_o name_n be_v any_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v use_v with_o that_o indifferency_n as_o we_o use_v other_o name_n it_o be_v fit_a and_o apt_a to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o which_o we_o will_v signify_v by_o it_o second_o be_v the_o rest_n be_v perpetual_a as_o i_o have_v prove_v why_o shall_v it_o not_o carry_v with_o it_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o the_o name_n of_o rest_n but_o why_o then_o be_v new_a name_n give_v unto_o it_o not_o because_o the_o old_a name_n be_v abolish_v or_o may_v not_o be_v use_v but_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o use_v other_o name_n for_o distinction_n sake_n for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o call_v the_o sabbath_n by_o some_o other_o name_n they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v so_o well_o understand_v whether_o they_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n that_o be_v to_o be_v abolish_v or_o of_o we_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v this_o ambiguity_n they_o call_v it_o by_o another_o name_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o be_v the_o better_o understand_v but_o now_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n be_v quite_o abolish_v and_o that_o custom_n have_v make_v it_o familiar_a and_o use_v carry_v it_o unto_o our_o sabbath_n i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v indifferent_o use_v the_o name_n of_o sabbath_n even_o as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o day_n especial_o then_o when_o we_o do_v desire_v most_o to_o express_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n as_o when_o we_o will_v express_v the_o change_n of_o it_o to_o call_v it_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o when_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n to_o call_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o when_o we_o will_v express_v the_o rest_n to_o call_v it_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o this_o much_o as_o touch_v the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n unto_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n §_o sect._n 12_o but_o now_o upon_o this_o which_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v and_o be_v just_o change_v by_o the_o apostle_n it_o will_v be_v demand_v and_o of_o some_o be_v though_o over_o busy_o i_o confess_v for_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o keep_v than_o to_o alter_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o apostle_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v demand_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v not_o change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n unto_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o the_o church_n have_v power_n god_n warrant_v go_v before_o upon_o some_o extraordinary_a occasion_n as_o plague_v famine_n sword_n or_o such_o like_a upon_o any_o of_o the_o week_n day_n to_o institute_v a_o fast_n as_o in_o joel._n 2._o 15._o sanctify_v a_o fast_o or_o a_o feast_n as_o
