to_o any_o serious_a and_o important_a action_n such_o as_o be_v namely_o the_o holy_a action_n of_o god_n service_n without_o some_o interval_n of_o relaxation_n if_o between_o the_o hour_n that_o

of_o the_o same_o nature_n by_o way_n of_o diversion_n and_o refreshment_n i_o can_v conceive_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v displease_v therewith_o because_o god_n service_n and_o godliness_n be_v not_o

afresh_o with_o great_a force_n do_v he_o sin_n by_o this_o cessation_n i_o think_v not_o now_o if_o he_o sin_v not_o when_o he_o sit_v idle_a and_o do_v nothing_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o sin_v if_o he_o do_v some_o bodily_a work_n seek_v thereby_o some_o diversion_n and_o refreshment_n rather_o than_o by_o a_o mere_a cessation_n from_o all_o kind_n of_o action_n to_o do_v

there_o be_v a_o most_o manifest_a
those_o which_o do_v not_o stick_v for_o conscience_n sake_n to_o eat_v all_o kind_n of_o meat_n because_o they_o esteem_v they_o all_o to_o be_v indifferent_a be_v strong_a and_o those_o which_o be_v

prescribe_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n they_o shall_v be_v unto_o we_o mean_n of_o blessing_n as_o be_v unto_o the_o jew_n their_o exercise_n and_o whatsoever_o day_n the_o church_n shall_v

unto_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o those_o holy_a duty_n a_o bless_a and_o holy_a day_n as_o well_o as_o be_v unto_o the_o jew_n their_o seven_o day_n which_o god_n enjoin_v they_o to_o keep_v 27_o it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n to_o esteem_v that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v unto_o we_o a_o particular_a day_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o jew_n our_o condition_n shall_v be_v worse_o than_o they_o for_o that_o be_v alike_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o christian_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o the_o jew_n because_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v unto_o they_o a_o particular_a place_n whereunto_o he_o have_v allot_v the_o public_a exercise_n of_o his_o service_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o christian_n do_v not_o ordinary_o meet_v together_o in_o one_o place_n and_o time_n to_o serve_v god_n public_o they_o shall_v be_v far_o inferior_a to_o the_o jew_n and_o shall_v have_v far_o less_o religion_n and_o devotion_n than_o they_o have_v whereas_o it_o be_v their_o great_a advantage_n above_o the_o jew_n that_o god_n will_v not_o stint_v unto_o they_o any_o place_n nor_o any_o time_n of_o their_o holy_a exercise_n but_o will_v have_v the_o choice_n and_o settle_v of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o to_o depend_v on_o their_o liberty_n and_o leave_v that_o to_o their_o zeal_n and_o wisdom_n even_o as_o it_o be_v their_o great_a prerogative_n that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o free_a from_o all_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n which_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v love_v they_o more_o and_o will_v not_o use_v they_o rigid_o as_o little_a child_n or_o servant_n but_o as_o child_n of_o a_o ripe_a age_n and_o as_o a_o willing_a people_n 28_o so_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o although_o the_o four_o commandment_n oblige_v we_o always_o to_o appoint_v a_o ordinary_a day_n for_o god_n service_n yet_o no_o solid_a thing_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o word_n thereof_o to_o prove_v the_o

and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o impertinent_a argumentation_n that_o because_o all_o the_o particularity_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n may_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n

the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v alike_o unlawful_a to_o the_o jew_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o interdiction_n give_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o reiterated_a so_o often_o elsewhere_o if_o
