worship_v he_o on_o the_o sabbath_n only_o but_o also_o in_o the_o other_o six_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o have_v holy_a assembly_n and_o christian_a meeting_n which_o

the_o sabbath_n ceremonial_a take_v out_o of_o the_o prescript_n word_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o for_o that_o which_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o ezechiel_n chap._n 20._o it_o be_v already_o

they_o take_v out_o testament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o either_o out_o of_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n or_o from_o the_o write_n of_o his_o holy_a apostle_n and_o because_o the_o four_o evangelist_n agree_v in_o one_o harmony_n we_o will_v brief_o reduce_v all_o their_o reason_n into_o one_o or_o two_o principal_a place_n namely_o matth._n 12._o 1._o 2._o 3._o 4._o 5._o 6._o 7._o 8._o mark_v 2._o 27._o in_o matth._n 12._o it_o be_v say_v at_o that_o time_n jesus_n go_v on_o a_o sabbath_n day_n through_o the_o corn_n and_o his_o disciple_n be_v hungry_a and_o begin_v to_o pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n and_o to_o eat_v 2._o and_o when_o the_o pharisy_n see_v it_o they_o say_v unto_o he_o behold_v thy_o disciple_n do_v that_o which_o sabbath_n be_v not_o lawful_a to_o do_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n 3._o but_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v you_o not_o hear_v what_o david_n do_v when_o he_o be_v a_o hunger_a and_o they_o that_o be_v with_o he_o 4._o how_o he_o enter_v

5._o or_o have_v you_o not_o read_v in_o the_o law_n how_o that_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o priest_n in_o the_o temple_n break_v the_o sabbath_n and_o be_v blameless_a 6._o but_o i_o say_v

with_o his_o disciple_n they_o for_o hunger_n pull_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n hereof_o arise_v by_o the_o pharisee_n this_o controversy_n who_o accuse_v the_o disciple_n for_o travel_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o though_o they_o have_v do_v a_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o the_o do_v because_o the_o law_n say_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v travail_v on_o that_o day_n our_o saviour_n christ_n hear_v this_o accusation_n defend_v his_o disciple_n whereof_o some_o conclude_v that_o our_o saviour_n here_o abrogate_a the_o sabbath_n 2._o but_o what_o can_v they_o have_v forge_v more_o untrue_a for_o if_o as_o they_o say_v he_o now_o have_v abrogate_a the_o sabbath_n than_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v not_o obey_v every_o part_n of_o the_o ceremony_n unto_o death_n which_o to_o affirm_v let_v they_o tell_v the_o danger_n of_o it_o nay_o rather_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o better_a learn_v we_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o

as_o though_o god_n be_v not_o able_a to_o recover_v he_o now_o to_o prove_v this_o the_o man_n of_o god_n bring_v a_o argument_n only_o for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n immediate_o go_v

who_o the_o apostle_n will_v the_o strong_a to_o deal_v in_o love_n in_o our_o day_n we_o see_v that_o because_o there_o have_v be_v much_o cry_n out_o against_o holy_a day_n some_o also_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o cry_v out_o against_o the_o sabbath_n well_o if_o a_o papist_n in_o all_o other_o general_a point_n of_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v true_o convert_v unto_o christ_n and_o for_o want_v of_o instruction_n doubt_v of_o the_o sabbath_n we_o be_v in_o love_n to_o deal_v with_o he_o and_o for_o a_o season_n to_o support_v his_o weakness_n how_o be_v it_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o weak_a must_v not_o always_o be_v bear_v with_o as_o appear_z by_o the_o apostle_n word_n chap_n 15._o 2._o let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n in_o that_o that_o be_v good_a to_o

if_o he_o come_v once_o to_o be_v obstinate_a he_o be_v no_o long_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o but_o how_o prove_v you_o that_o this_o be_v the_o strong_a opinion_n to_o esteem_v one_o day_n above_o another_o day_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o weak_a to_o count_v all_o day_n alike_o i_o answer_v the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v one_o day_n and_o commend_v it_o unto_o we_o by_o their_o own_o
