day_n be_v but_o the_o command_n of_o a_o mortal_a die_a man_n my_o esteem_n be_v no_o more_o for_o it_o than_o for_o another_o day_n but_o when_o i_o believe_v and_o be_o persuade_v and_o consider_v

be_v plain_a a_o sabbath_n god_n must_v have_v by_o the_o perpetual_a ordinance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n remember_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n i.e._n that_o day_n which_o for_o

the_o commandment_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v to_o premise_v viz._n 2._o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n have_v power_n to_o make_v what_o alteration_n he_o please_v as_o to_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o the_o commandment_n our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o jew_n st._n mark_v 2.28_o that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n

alteration_n he_o make_v be_v about_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n not_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o commandment_n one_o day_n in_o seven_o but_o as_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n i._n e._n which_o day_n in_o seven_o he_o please_v now_o if_o i_o can_v prove_v to_o you_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n alter_v the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n and_o that_o that_o time_n which_o the_o christian_n now_o observe_v be_v that_o alteration_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v conclude_v with_o i_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n be_v no_o breach_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n but_o a_o indispensable_a duty_n incumbent_a upon_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o argument_n 1._o the_o first_o i_o shall_v
