every_o day_n so_o we_o shall_v every_o day_n offer_v up_o our_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_v of_o prayer_n and_o true_o by_o duty_n of_o piety_n to_o god_n be_v our_o worldly_a business_n

by_o we_o 2_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n neither_o adam_n nor_o the_o jew_n before_o christ_n shall_v have_v observe_v any_o sabbath_n because_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o rest_v from_o sin_n as_o

and_o answer_v some_o objection_n against_o it_o ii_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n give_v you_o the_o ground_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o

instance_n the_o lord_n supper_n because_o he_o institute_v it_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o he_o choose_v they_o the_o lord_n messenger_n because_o he_o send_v they_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v denominative_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o not_o by_o creation_n for_o so_o every_o day_n be_v he_o from_o the_o beginning_n but_o by_o divine_a institution_n because_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n the_o lord_n for_o divine_a worship_n and_o service_n tempore_fw-la 3_o and_o for_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o he_o agreeable_a hereunto_o be_v that_o of_o augustine_n who_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n appoint_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o all_o religious_a solemnity_n because_o in_o that_o day_n our_o redeemer_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n 2_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o constant_o assemble_v together_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v our_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o without_o doubt_n upon_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n himself_o for_o whereas_o he_o continue_v forty_o day_n on_o earth_n after_o his_o resurrection_n before_o he_o ascend_v into_o hea●en_n it_o be_v say_v in_o that_o time_o he_o give_v commandment_n unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o speak_v unto_o they_o of_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o instruct_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o bodily_a sacrifice_n of_o beast_n into_o the_o

of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o then_o likewise_o he_o instruct_v his_o apostle_n touch_v the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n into_o the_o lord_n day_n 3_o to_o which_o agree_v that_o of_o learned_a junius_n who_o say_v positive_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o observation_n and_o appointment_n of_o christ_n who_o both_o on_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o on_o every_o seven_o day_n after_o unto_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o come_v into_o their_o assembly_n hereupon_o we_o read_v the_o apostle_n meet_v together_o on_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o to_o communicate_v the_o lord_n supper_n as_o joh._n 20._o 19_o

day_n of_o the_o week_n common_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a sabbath_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n since_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v argument_n enough_o to_o warrant_v the_o day_n they_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o especial_a manner_n so_o it_o do_v clear_o appear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o holy_a man_n since_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o observe_v this_o day_n and_o that_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n ignatius_n who_o live_v in_o st._n

afterward_o by_o the_o apostle_n i_o may_v spend_v much_o paper_n in_o show_v how_o this_o day_n have_v be_v observe_v in_o all_o age_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o these_o day_n now_o the_o
