that_o christ_n himself_o do_v appoint_v the_o day_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n he_o do_v use_v mean_n to_o assemble_v his_o disciple_n together_o that_o he_o may_v

this_o he_o do_v to_o draw_v they_o back_o again_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n partly_o that_o they_o may_v testify_v the_o certainty_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o partly_o that_o

that_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n he_o may_v well_o speak_v how_o he_o have_v end_v all_o moses_n ceremony_n and_o so_o consequent_o how_o he_o have_v end_v the_o typical_a use_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o his_o death_n and_o then_o doubtless_o he_o will_v nominate_v some_o other_o day_n in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o for_o the_o use_n of_o his_o public_a

it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o be_v the_o second_o time_n of_o his_o appear_v to_o their_o assembly_n because_o the_o next_o time_n after_o this_o be_v call_v the_o three_o time_n joh._n 21._o 14._o i_o confess_v if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o christ_n have_v appear_v to_o they_o on_o any_o other_o day_n between_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o that_o day_n seven-night_n than_o his_o appear_v on_o that_o day_n seven-night_n have_v not_o be_v so_o remarkable_a but_o see_v he_o do_v not_o appear_v any_o more_o unto_o they_o till_o that_o day_n seven-night_n it_o strong_o argue_v that_o he_o do_v purposely_o abstain_v from_o they_o the_o whole_a week_n to_o declare_v his_o election_n of_o that_o day_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o because_o this_o second_o time_n of_o his_o meeting_n be_v not_o occasion_v by_o any_o sabbatical_a feast_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v a_o chief_a festival_n sabbath_n be_v past_o two_o day_n before_o this_o second_o meeting_n and_o none_o of_o the_o festival_n day_n which_o doubtless_o his_o apostle_n keep_v be_v any_o occasion_n of_o his_o meeting_n with_o they_o soon_o than_o the_o same_o day_n seven-night_n after_o his_o resurrection_n it_o argue_v therefore_o that_o this_o assembly_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n be_v do_v by_o christ_n direction_n and_o luke_n do_v testify_v that_o christ_n do_v give_v certain_a commandment_n to_o his_o apostle_n after_o his_o resurrection_n be_v see_v of_o they_o at_o time_n forty_o day_n and_o speak_v that_o which_o appertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n act_v 1._o 2_o 3._o now_o what_o those_o commandment_n be_v and_o what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o record_v but_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o they_o use_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o god_n public_a worship_n in_o christian_n churches_n that_o christ_n do_v command_v they_o to_o observe_v that_o day_n in_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o jew_n synagogue_n into_o particular_a christian_a church_n and_o we_o may_v the_o rather_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v a_o true_a collection_n because_o he_o do_v at_o this_o present_a give_v unto_o his_o apostle_n a_o new_a commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n joh._n 20._o 21_o 22._o and_o the_o

the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o a_o badge_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o christian_a church_n he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o appoint_v a_o solemn_a day_n see_v he_o have_v abolish_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o his_o death_n in_o which_o day_n his_o command_n of_o preach_v and_o baptise_v be_v ordinary_o to_o be_v perform_v and_o why_o do_v john_n say_v that_o christ_n do_v
