soon_o angry_a we_o find_v how_o the_o hypocrite_n in_o esaias_n 58.2_o fast_v for_o strife_n and_o debate_n and_o smite_v with_o the_o fist_n of_o wickedness_n and_o exact_v all_o their_o labour_n they_o bring_v forth_o their_o bill_n and_o bond_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o seventy_o have_v it_o who_o the_o arabic_a exact_o follow_v and_o the_o chaldee_n syriack_n and_o other_o

use_v our_o utmost_a rigour_n then_o upon_o failure_n feast_v use_n to_o make_v man_n placid_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v and_o be_v then_o most_o please_v to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o fast_v when_o man_n deal_v their_o bread_n to_o the_o hungry_a and_o cover_v the_o naked_a and_o lodge_v the_o harbourless_o when_o they_o lose_v the_o band_n of_o wickedness_n undo_v the_o heavy_a burden_n

visit_v the_o sick_a and_o all_o such_o work_n of_o charity_n be_v proper_a work_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o how_o religious_a the_o first_o christian_n emperor_n be_v this_o way_n not_o only_o in_o give_v but_o forgive_a how_o at_o easter_n they_o set_v all_o prisoner_n at_o liberty_n except_o traitor_n murderer_n ravisher_n of_o woman_n and_o such_o notorious_a

of_o those_o man_n that_o be_v most_o afraid_a of_o or_o most_o declaim_v against_o superstition_n their_o conceit_n be_v no_o less_o superstitious_a than_o their_o notation_n be_v fond_a in_o make_v it_o to_o be_v quicquid_fw-la super_fw-la statutum_fw-la i_o will_v ask_v they_o in_o this_o case_n what_o statute_n have_v they_o that_o forbid_v the_o keep_n of_o any_o other_o day_n beside_o the_o lord_n day_n 1._o if_o they_o say_v god_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o time_n and_o he_o have_v say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v i_o reply_v those_o word_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o four_o

and_o as_o often_o as_o they_o please_v be_v confutation_n enough_o to_o the_o objection_n but_o 2._o they_o urge_v that_o to_o the_o galat._n 4.10_o you_o observe_v day_n and_o month_n and_o time_n and_o year_n i_o reply_v again_o if_o the_o context_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o whole_a epistle_n do_v not_o show_v it_o plain_o to_o be_v write_v to_o judaise_v people_n those_o four_o word_n in_o the_o text_n allege_v will_v tell_v we_o the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o jewish_a festival_n whereof_o they_o have_v four_o sort_n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o that_o keep_v day_n in_o testification_n of_o our_o be_v christian_n and_o disclaim_v all_o judaisme_n and_o keep_v they_o not_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o jew_n no_o more_o than_o we_o do_v the_o sabbath_n but_o rather_o in_o order_n to_o their_o invitation_n and_o bring_v they_o over_o to_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v great_a than_o moses_n but_o the_o great_a thing_n they_o insist_v on_o be_v it_o be_v against_o gospel_n purity_n to_o have_v mixture_n of_o human_a invention_n with_o divine_a injunction_n and_o this_o superstitious_a conceit_n be_v the_o great_a cause_n not_o only_o of_o this_o neglect_n but_o of_o schism_n or_o unlawful_a separation_n ans_fw-fr i_o have_v already_o say_v to_o be_v thankful_a for_o benefit_n be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o no_o human_a invention_n and_o to_o give_v thanks_o yearly_a on_o those_o day_n whereon_o those_o benefit_n be_v bestow_v rather_o than_o any_o other_o be_v so_o natural_a have_v so_o great_a a_o congruity_n in_o it_o that_o the_o objector_n themselves_o choose_v to_o do_v so_o but_o let_v they_o tell_v i_o be_v there_o any_o more_o of_o man_n in_o keep_v a_o easter-day_n than_o a_o five_o of_o november_n in_o praise_v of_o god_n for_o the_o first_o plant_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n than_o a_o late_a preservation_n of_o it_o but_o what_o do_v they_o never_o hear_v of_o the_o feast_n of_o purim_n and_o that_o feast_n of_o the_o dedication_n whereat_o our_o lord_n be_v present_a of_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o king_n solomon_n keep_v at_o the_o first_o dedication_n of_o the_o altar_n and_o the_o seven_o day_n that_o king_n hezekiah_n keep_v at_o the_o feast_n of_o unleavened_a bread_n over_o and_o above_o what_o the_o law_n command_v 2_o chron._n 30.23_o of_o the_o four_o fast_n in_o zech._n 8.19_o whereof_o but_o one_o be_v enjoin_v but_o because_o they_o call_v we_o so_o often_o to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n we_o will_v take_v a_o view_n of_o that_o and_o show_v you_o that_o the_o israelite_n do_v not_o only_a act_n super_fw-la but_o contra_fw-la statutum_fw-la in_o several_a thing_n yet_o no_o separation_n be_v make_v from_o public_a communion_n with_o that_o church_n and_o therefore_o every_o imperfection_n can_v be_v no_o just_a cause_n of_o separation_n nor_o every_o supererogation_n i_o will_v give_v three_o notorious_a instance_n whereof_o two_o concern_v festival_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v touch_v the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n whereof_o we_o read_v nehem._n 8.17_o all_o the_o congregation_n of_o they_o that_o be_v come_v

year_n together_o and_o that_o throughout_o the_o most_o flourish_a time_n of_o that_o church_n although_o it_o be_v express_o command_v no_o less_o than_o four_o time_n in_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o neither_o david_n nor_o hezekiah_n nor_o samuel_n nor_o jehoiadah_n nor_o any_o other_o reform_v king_n zealous_a priest_n or_o inspire_v prophet_n no_o answer_n by_o urim_n and_o thummim_v correct_v this_o neglect_n in_o so_o many_o age_n in_o all_o which_o time_n we_o find_v no_o secession_n make_v from_o the_o church_n that_o then_o be_v my_o second_o instance_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o holy_a year_n the_o observation_n whereof_o be_v command_v levit._n 25.2_o etc._n etc._n when_o you_o come_v into_o the_o land_n which_o i_o give_v you_o then_o shall_v the_o land_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n unto_o the_o lord_n thou_o shall_v neither_o sow_v thy_o seed_n nor_o prune_v thy_o vineyard_n etc._n etc._n and_o now_o see_v the_o omission_n in_o

they_o have_v break_v the_o aforesaid_a law_n to_o wit_n from_o the_o day_n of_o samuel_n to_o the_o captivity_n and_o yet_o no_o separation_n all_o that_o while_n
