not_o saturday_n the_o former_a sabaoth_n which_o be_v command_v by_o god_n himself_o you_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v this_o defference_n betwixt_o this_o commandment_n and_o the_o other_o nine_o that_o all_o the_o other_o do_v follow_v in_o every_o particular_a out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o can_v be_v change_v whereas_o this_o commandment_n for_o as_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o time_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v change_v in_o this_o point_n for_o although_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v some_o particular_a time_n to_o god_n his_o service_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o determine_v the_o time_n but_o leave_v the_o determination_n to_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n or_o his_o church_n wherefore_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v former_o change_v diverse_a of_o the_o ceremony_n in_o the_o ancient_a law_n by_o take_v away_o the_o

he_o be_v bear_v this_o day_n and_o he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o this_o day_n to_o his_o dear_a spouse_n the_o church_n we_o do_v also_o keep_v still_o on_o this_o day_n a_o memory_n of_o

of_o this_o precept_n of_o sanctify_v the_o sabaoth_a day_n it_o be_v require_v that_o we_o abstain_v from_o all_o servile_a work_n forbid_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o we_o give_v to_o god_n upon_o this_o day_n that_o solemn_a and_o public_a worship_n which_o the_o church_n prescribe_v beside_o to_o observe_v this_o commandment_n with_o perfection_n we_o be_v to_o employ_v the_o whole_a day_n except_v only_o that_o time_n which_o be_v require_v for_o our_o sustenance_n and_o necessity_n in_o divine_a service_n as_o in_o prayer_n hear_v sermon_n read_v good_a book_n and_o the_o like_a and_o therefore_o those_o who_o spend_v this_o day_n in_o idle_a sport_n or_o unnecessary_a voyage_n and_o the_o like_a do_v not_o comply_v full_o with_o the_o end_n of_o this_o commandment_n nor_o with_o the_o church_n desire_v concern_v it_o and_o therefore_o be_v reprehensible_a wherefore_o all_o people_n shall_v be_v exhort_v to_o spend_v at_o least_o some_o part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o hear_v of_o sermon_n or_o other_o pious_a exercise_n for_o by_o little_a and_o little_a christian_n become_v like_o pagan_n without_o apprehension_n of_o the_o next_o world_n at_o all_o unless_o they_o be_v often_o stir_v up_o by_o sermon_n and_o such_o pious_a exercise_n and_o therefore_o to_o neglect_v they_o total_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n and_o the_o cause_n that_o many_o go_v headlong_o to_o hell_n 35._o what_o be_v understand_v by_o servile_a work_n all_o corporal_a work_n whereby_o man_n use_v to_o gain_v their_o live_n by_o labour_v for_o other_o man_n which_o be_v common_o call_v meckanicke_a work_n and_o so_o work_v which_o be_v common_a to_o master_n and_o seruamt_n as_o dance_v and_o sing_v and_o the_o like_a be_v not_o esteem_v servile_a but_o the_o best_a rule_n to_o know_v which_o be_v such_o and_o which_o be_v not_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v not_o forbid_v servile_a work_n on_o day_n dedicate_v to_o god_n his_o service_n but_o only_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o say_a work_n may_v be_v a_o hindrance_n either_o to_o the_o inward_a or_o outward_a worship_n which_o man_n profess_v peculiarly_a towards_o god_n on_o those_o day_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n to_o determine_v the_o day_n of_o public_a and_o solemn_a worship_n so_o it_o belong_v to_o she_o also_o to_o determine_v what_o temporal_a work_n be_v to_o be_v permit_v and_o what_o to_o be_v forbid_v as_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o public_a solemnity_n of_o divine_a worship_n intend_v by_o

without_o make_v mention_n of_o his_o life_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n into_o this_o world_n be_v to_o die_v for_o us._n second_o
