less_o bind_v this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n than_o be_v the_o israelite_n in_o time_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o 3_o because_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o which_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o declaration_n make_v by_o moses_n again_o because_o this_o

which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o gentile_n then_o or_o christian_n now_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v it_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o ensample_n this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o offer_v up_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o do_v both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o deluge_n the_o second_o objection_n god_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o add_v 17_o for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v therefore_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o word_n ever_o be_v not_o take_v there_o simpliciter_fw-la but_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v it_o that_o be_v not_o for_o eternity_n or_o for_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o life_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n from_o moses_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v 1495._o year_n i_o

and_o meditation_n of_o god_n work_n be_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v still_o abide_v in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a and_o determinate_a sabbath_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o memory_n of_o our_o creation_n may_v be_v do_v as_o convenient_o upon_o another_o day_n as_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n thus_o my_o answer_n be_v confirm_v because_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o keep_v be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o the_o eight_o for_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o

as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n but_o for_o civil_a order_n sake_n not_o with_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n but_o with_o such_o christian_n freedom_n as_o we_o confess_v it_o may_v be_v change_v

short_o be_v more_o evident_a my_o negative_a reason_n be_v this_o no_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n either_o in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n can_v be_v allege_v which_o command_v to_o

if_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o christian_n sabaoth_v have_v be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o appoint_v by_o the_o apostle_n then_o will_v there_o not_o have_v be_v such_o

brief_o by_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o s._n paul_n so_o teach_v we_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o life_n 1â—_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o glory_n to_o

his_o holy_a nun_n moonke_n and_o jesuite_n and_o flee_v to_o heaven_n as_o a_o bird_n without_o feather_n i_o say_v three_o that_o the_o want_n whereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v be_v not_o in_o the_o

of_o christ_n passion_n not_o of_o his_o passion_n in_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o church_n his_o mystical_a body_n for_o as_o he_o suffer_v once_o for_o all_o in_o himself_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n so_o do_v he_o still_o suffer_v daily_o in_o his_o member_n for_o he_o have_v appoint_v his_o elect_a to_o suffer_v much_o tribulation_n before_o they_o shall_v possess_v eternal_a

word_n i_o say_v three_o that_o our_o people_n confess_v their_o sin_n general_o before_o the_o minister_n &_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 9_o yea_o in_o the_o reform_a church_n abroad_o the_o people_n use_v to_o confess_v to_o the_o minister_n such_o special_a sin_n as_o most_o grieve_v &_o clog_v their_o conscience_n and_o for_o which_o they_o need_v grave_a advice_n and_o godly_a council_n which_o christian_n liberty_n be_v grant_v also_o in_o our_o church_n of_o england_n for_o such_o as_o listen_v may_v confess_v

be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n for_o you_o confess_v yourselves_o general_o to_o be_v sinner_n but_o you_o name_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o again_o as_o in_o germany_n they_o confess_v some_o sin_n so_o do_v they_o leave_v unconfess_v what_o please_v they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o scornful_a liberty_n which_o you_o grant_v to_o your_o church_n of_o england_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n this_o day_n as_o the_o israelite_n of_o old_a confess_v their_o sin_n 16._o before_o ezra_n and_o the_o levite_n as_o the_o humble_a publican_n confess_v his_o sin_n when_o he_o say_v o_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n confess_v his_o sin_n when_o he_o say_v i_o know_v my_o iniquity_n and_o my_o sin_n be_v ever_o before_o i_o against_o thou_o against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v and_o do_v evil_a in_o thy_o sight_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v just_a when_o thou_o speak_v 50.3.4_o and_o pure_a when_o thou_o iudge_v as_o the_o prodigal_a son_n confess_v his_o sin_n 15._o when_o he_o say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o heaven_n &_o before_o thou_o &_o be_o no_o more_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o son_n and_o as_o yourselves_o confess_v your_o sin_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o every_o mass_n i_o say_v second_o that_o yourselves_o grant_v that_o venial_n need_v no_o confession_n at_o al._n and_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v 34._o the_o least_o sin_n of_o all_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n for_o thus_o do_v your_o own_o famous_a canonist_n write_v quibus_fw-la consequens_fw-la

will_v glad_o ground_v your_o confession_n we_o be_v no_o less_o bind_v to_o confess_v one_o sin_n then_o another_o indifferent_o for_o your_o trivolous_a distinction_n of_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n can_v be_v find_v in_o no_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o consequent_o since_o the_o scripture_n itself_o by_o your_o grant_n free_v we_o from_o confess_v venial_n it_o follow_v direct_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o confess_v none_o at_o all_o i_o say_v four_o that_o your_o confession_n be_v ridiculous_a indeed_o as_o which_o urge_v the_o penitent_a to_o confess_v those_o sin_n to_o sinful_a man_n which_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n have_v forgive_v already_o i_o prove_v it_o because_o your_o best_a approve_a writer_n hold_v that_o contrition_n only_o reconcile_v sinner_n to_o god_n and_o take_v away_o both_o the_o fault_n and_o the_o pain_n but_o after_o that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o only_a contrition_n and_o have_v both_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o satisfaction_n remit_v i_o ween_v it_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n â—_o to_o afflict_v ourselves_o for_o popish_a absolution_n this_o that_o i_o say_v be_v witness_v by_o martinus_n navarrus_n by_o your_o learned_a friar_n joan._n lud._n vivaldus_fw-la and_o diverse_a other_o i_o say_v fift_o that_o your_o confession_n be_v never_o able_a to_o bring_v peace_n to_o any_o trouble_a conscience_n but_o to_o drive_v they_o headlong_o into_o desperation_n for_o first_o none_o live_v be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o true_a confession_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n ult._n which_o thing_n be_v
