permit_v apocrypha_fw-la scripture_n to_o be_v read_v sometime_o in_o our_o congregation_n yet_o it_o permit_v they_o not_o to_o be_v use_v and_o allege_v as_o a_o sole_a ground_n to_o establish_v

the_o 4_o com_n and_o since_o god_n at_o creation_n give_v a_o commandment_n for_o that_o sabbath_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v christ_n will_v a_o give_v a_o commandment_n too_o for_o this_o sabbath_n if_o ever_o he_o have_v intend_v to_o have_v have_v it_o keep_v as_o a_o sabbath_n will_v god_n give_v a_o commandment_n for_o his_o sabbath_n and_o christ_n leave_v his_o sabbath_n without_o a_o commandment_n and_o to_o be_v collect_v by_o feeble_a reason_n be_v our_o saviour_n so_o careful_a to_o give_v a_o commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o be_v do_v in_o

much_o as_o mention_v it_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o sabbath_n whoe_o that_o consider_v of_o this_o will_v or_o can_v ever_o think_v that_o christ_n do_v institute_v and_o appoint_v this_o lord_n

that_o perkins_n though_o a_o great_a friend_n to_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o sabbath_n as_o walaeus_n on_o the_o 4_o come_v quote_v he_o thus_o perkins_n ingenuous_o say_v he_o confess_v that_o as_o

i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v a_o reverend_a regard_n of_o the_o tenentes_fw-la of_o our_o mother_n the_o church_n so_o as_o not_o lighte_o nor_o rash_o to_o

you_o make_v your_o sabbath_n on_o ascention_n day_n be_v thursday_n or_o rather_o you_o must_v tarry_v till_o the_o world_n end_n till_o christ_n have_v conquer_v sin_n &_o death_n 1._o cor._n 15.26.56_o if_o therefore_o by_o reason_n we_o shall_v institute_v sabbath_n it_o may_v be_v think_v good_a friday_n be_v the_o only_a day_n for_o our_o new_a sabbath_n or_o else_o to_o tarry_v till_o this_o world_n end_n 4_o a_o 4_o &_o main_a reason_n of_o all_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n if_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o god_n creation_n then_o much_o more_o ought_v christian_n keep_v a_o other_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o christ_n redemption_n and_o the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n i_o answer_v 1._o the_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o for_o the_o jew_n they_o do_v not_o set_v up_o a_o sabbath_n on_o their_o own_o head_n with_o out_o a_o precept_n for_o their_o direction_n only_o to_o commemorate_v the_o creation_n if_o they_o have_v it_o have_v be_v no_o better_a than_o will_v worship_v but_o they_o stay_v for_o a_o commandment_n from_o the_o god_n of_o the_o creation_n to_o command_v they_o a_o sabbath_n by_o his_o 4_o comm_n and_o to_o tell_v they_o which_o day_n of_o the_o 7._o to_o keep_v &_o it_o be_v god_n commandment_n principal_o that_o set_v they_o one_o work_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n now_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a for_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n be_v leave_v on_o it_o in_o their_o argument_n as_o if_o god_n comm_n be_v but_o a_o by_o thing_n and_o not_o necessary_o presuppose_v in_o every_o sabbath_n wherefore_o let_v they_o put_v into_o their_o argument_n the_o main_a and_o principal_a thing_n move_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v god_n 4_o com_n and_o then_o i_o fault_n not_o their_o argument_n as_o now_o i_o do_v but_o i_o bide_v they_o prove_v likewise_o that_o we_o christian_n have_v such_o strong_a reason_n to_o keep_v our_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n as_o jew_n have_v for_o their_o day_n that_o be_v i_o require_v to_o show_v i_o where_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n leave_v we_o a_o express_a commandment_n to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o god_n do_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o sanctify_v the_o 7_o day_n and_o then_o i_o say_v indeed_o if_o the_o jew_n keep_v the_o 7_o day_n we_o christian_n ought_v keep_v the_o 8_o day_n or_o thus_o be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n if_o it_o be_v great_a the_o answer_n will_v be_v to_o the_o elect_a and_o to_o the_o redeem_v it_o be_v great_a well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o our_o question_n which_o be_v general_a of_o all_o christian_n that_o live_v with_o in_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n affirm_v that_o if_o jew_n that_o be_v all_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n for_o the_o creation_n then_o ought_v christian_n that_o be_v all_o man_n with_o in_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n for_o redemption_n so_o the_o question_n be_v general_a of_o all_o man_n with_o in_o the_o church_n you_o bring_v a_o reason_n to_o enforce_v all_o these_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o new_a sabbath_n which_o reason_n be_v proper_a to_o some_o of_o these_o man_n only_o as_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o argue_v all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n because_o the_o lord_n die_v for_o some_o of_o these_o man_n this_o argue_v be_v much_o like_a absurd_a to_o this_o if_o the_o jew_n under_o king_n ahashuerosh_n ester_n 9.17_o do_v solemnize_v a_o day_n every_o year_n with_o feast_v and_o joy_n in_o memory_n of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n then_o so_o ought_v christian_n both_o english_a french_a dutchman_n and_o spanyarde_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v all_o christian_n solemnize_v a_o day_n every_o year_n with_o like_a feast_n and_o joy_n in_o memory_n of_o our_o deliverance_n from_o spanyarde_n in_o the_o year_n 88_o or_o from_o papist_n powder_n treason_n on_o 5_o the_o november_n and_o here_o to_o may_v be_v add_v a_o like_a reason_n as_o that_o our_o deliverance_n in_o 88_o or_o on_o 5_o the_o of_o november_n be_v as_o great_a as_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n from_o haman_n now_o who_o do_v not_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o argue_v yet_o just_a thus_o do_v they_o argue_v to_o set_v up_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n as_o here_o it_o be_v argue_v from_o a_o particular_a deliverance_n of_o some_o christian_n as_o english_a man_n to_o all_o christian_n as_o french_a dutch_a and_o spaniard_n who_n have_v no_o share_n in_o that_o deliverance_n of_o 88_o and_o 5_o of_o november_n just_o so_o do_v they_o argue_v from_o a_o particular_a deliverance_n of_o some_o christian_n as_o god_n elect_v unto_o all_o christian_n both_o elect_v and_o reprobate_a believer_n and_o unbeliever_n what_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o such_o as_o have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n as_o a_o redeemer_n shall_v weekly_o celebrate_v on_o whole_a day_n neglect_v their_o profit_n and_o calling_n in_o memory_n of_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n of_o right_n therefore_o only_o such_o a_o day_n shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n as_o bind_v all_o and_o every_o man_n one_o as_o well_o as_o a_o other_o and_o such_o be_v the_o 7_o day_n sabhath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n for_o in_o the_o creation_n we_o all_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n have_v our_o share_n not_o so_o in_o the_o redemption_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o though_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o therefore_o do_v require_v a_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o creation_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o require_v so_o general_a &_o universal_a a_o sabbath_n as_o do_v the_o work_n of_o creation_n all_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o one_o as_o they_o be_v to_o the_o other_o nor_o can_v i_o conceive_v how_o any_o more_o man_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n by_o this_o reason_n then_o only_o a_o few_o which_o do_v actual_o believe_v in_o christ_n a_o handful_n of_o most_o free_a agentes_fw-la so_o as_o they_o eighther_n of_o they_o produce_v effect_n at_o their_o pleasure_n by_o counsel_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o tie_v ever_o to_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n the_o one_o as_o do_v the_o other_o that_o this_o be_v so_o will_v appear_v even_o in_o these_o point_n in_o question_n it_o please_v god_n to_o create_v the_o world_n by_o action_n but_o it_o please_v christ_n to_o redeem_v the_o world_n by_o passion_n 2._o it_o please_v the_o father_n to_o be_v 6._o day_n in_o creation_n but_o it_o please_v the_o son_n to_o be_v but_o 3._o day_n in_o

emmaus_n and_o back_o again_o 4._o it_o please_v god_n to_o leave_v a_o commandment_n in_o wright_v to_o posterity_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o it_o please_v not_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o leave_v any_o commandment_n for_o the_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n if_o therefore_o god_n &_o christ_n be_v so_o variouse_a in_o their_o action_n how_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o if_o god_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n or_o institute_v one_o in_o creation_n than_o christ_n must_v necessary_o institute_v a_o other_o like_o sabbath_n at_o redemption_n 5_o a_o 5_o reason_n seem_v to_o
