day_n be_v argument_n sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o man_n &_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o strong_a they_o be_v in_o conceit_n &_o so_o weak_a in_o argument_n and_o thus_o they_o argue_v why_o this_o day_n which_o we_o keep_v it_o be_v call_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o s._n john_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v it_o not_o well_o &_o what_o will_v you_o have_v more_o then_o be_v not_o this_o enough_o for_o any_o reasonable_a man_n i_o answer_v if_o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n than_o the_o lord_n day_n let_v it_o be_v still_o for_o i_o i_o go_v not_o about_o to_o give_v it_o any_o other_o name_n albeit_o it_o may_v be_v question_v but_o this_o be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o s._n john_n do_v not_o call_v this_o day_n sabbath_n day_n do_v he_o if_o he_o have_v call_v it_o sabbath_n day_n as_o he_o call_v it_o lord_n day_n then_o will_v i_o believe_v it_o have_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o now_o i_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o not_o a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o s._n john_n call_v it_o but_o lord_n day_n not_o sabbath_n day_n their_o last_o upshot_n which_o be_v a_o note_n that_o they_o be_v at_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la be_v to_o query_n in_o stead_n of_o proof_n as_o thus_o i_o but_o why_o think_v you_o this_o day_n be_v call_v lord_n day_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o there_o be_v something_o in_o it_o extraordenary_a doubtless_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a something_o in_o it_o there_o be_v &_o something_o extraordenary_a too_o as_o namely_o it_o be_v call_v lord_n day_n because_o on_o it_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a &_o so_o he_o do_v not_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n they_o will_v have_v more_o than_o this_o let_v they_o show_v we_o what_o it_o be_v &_o prove_v it_o when_o they_o have_v do_v but_o let_v they_o leave_v this_o idle_a beg_n of_o questiones_fw-la of_o we_o the_o which_o be_v a_o most_o frequent_a thing_n with_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o poor_a hold_n they_o have_v for_o this_o new_a sabbath_n from_o this_o text_n revel_v 1.10_o full_a little_a do_v s._n john_n think_v when_o he_o write_v this_o revelation_n &_o mention_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o it_o that_o ever_o christian_n after_o he_o will_v have_v so_o abuse_v this_o name_n to_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o new_a sabbath_n upon_o it_o to_o conclude_v since_o they_o will_v be_v so_o confident_a as_o to_o collect_v a_o necessary_a institution_n from_o a_o bare_a nomination_n i_o desire_v they_o first_o to_o prove_v it_o that_o this_o name_n lord_n day_n be_v of_o divine_a imposition_n there_o be_v cause_n to_o doubt_v there_o be_v many_o name_n in_o scripture_n that_o be_v not_o divinly_a impose_v as_o mars_n street_n purim_n matthew_n etc._n etc._n so_o may_v this_o be_v too_o and_o the_o rather_o consider_v that_o this_o name_n lord_n day_n be_v unknown_a in_o the_o church_n for_o many_o year_n after_o christ_n for_o all_o the_o 4_o evangelist_n name_v it_o by_o the_o old_a name_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n only_o and_o so_o do_v s._n paul_n act._n 20.7_o it_o may_v therefore_o be_v so_o name_v first_o by_o the_o church_n &_o afterward_o by_o s._n john_n in_o his_o revelation_n now_o if_o this_o name_n may_v be_v humane_a then_o may_v the_o institution_n &_o use_n of_o it_o be_v humane_a also_o sect_n xiii_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v their_o scripture_n &_o what_o pitiful_a work_n they_o have_v make_v with_o they_o the_o feebleness_n &_o insufficiency_n whereof_o be_v single_o consider_v of_o &_o well_o view_v they_o full_a well_o see_v though_o loath_a to_o confess_v it_o now_o they_o have_v a_o new_a devise_n &_o that_o be_v this_o albeit_o say_v they_o or_o some_o of_o they_o that_o these_o scripture_n can_v prove_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n singly_o &_o a_o lone_a consider_v yet_o put_v they_o all_o together_o &_o they_o will_v prove_v it_o quae_fw-la non_fw-la prosunt_fw-la singula_fw-la multa_fw-la juvant_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v well_o that_o at_o last_o they_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v it_o that_o none_o of_o their_o scripture_n can_v prove_v the_o point_n alone_o &_o by_o themselves_o single_o by_o yield_v this_o they_o have_v fair_o yield_v their_o cause_n for_o i_o desire_v of_o they_o to_o show_v i_o in_o one_o argument_n frame_v out_o of_o all_o these_o text_n together_o how_o they_o can_v prove_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n any_o better_a than_o they_o can_v out_o of_o they_o all_o singly_o and_o alone_o consider_v one_o after_o a_o other_o the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v for_o it_o be_v with_o these_o text_n singly_o and_o together_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o single_a cipher_n and_o a_o

will_v be_v nothing_o still_o a_o 100_o cipher_n can_v make_v one_o single_a unity_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o these_o text_n if_o every_o one_o of_o they_o singly_o and_o alone_o have_v no_o

argument_n do_v not_o change_v their_o nature_n be_v a_o multitude_n from_o that_o they_o be_v single_a we_o esteem_v not_o of_o argument_n by_o number_n but_o by_o weight_n many_o probability_n can_v

will_v enforce_v he_o to_o take_v they_o in_o the_o gross_a &_o in_o the_o lump_n without_o a_o particular_a sight_n the_o chapman_n need_v none_o other_o argument_n than_o this_o to_o persuade_v he_o

plain_a term_n for_o christianes_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o see_v how_o this_o famous_a athanasius_n &_o godly_a bishop_n foresee_v this_o mischief_n meet_v with_o the_o privy_a

this_o godly_a bishop_n be_v that_o a_o christian_a church_n may_v sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n without_o any_o taint_v or_o tincture_n of_o judaisme_n i_o wish_v all_o minister_n now_o will_v

the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v no_o judaisme_n further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o athanasius_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o this_o be_v about_o 300_o year_n after_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n with_o christianes_n for_o 300_o year_n after_o christ_n now_o the_o first_o 300_o

the_o more_o pver_fw-la church_n as_o you_o have_v see_v it_o abundant_o prove_v they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o conclude_v so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n retain_v their_o best_a purity_n so_o long_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n be_v in_o use_n &_o honour_n but_o when_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v and_o fale_v away_o as_o to_o set_v up_o image_n to_o adore_v the_o cross_n to_o

christianes_n but_o he_o go_v
further_a than_o so_o for_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o plain_a &_o right_o down_o exhortation_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o say_v he_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o can_v bemore_n plain_a have_v ignatius_n esteem_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n as_o many_o think_v now_o a_o day_n or_o judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n too_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o the_o primitive_a church_n remain_v in_o their_o great_a purity_n so_o long_a christian_n retain_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v hereunto_o subjoine_v this_o devout_a prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o commandment_n say_v god_n bless_v and_o hallow_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o hallow_a as_o the_o four_o commandment_n speak_v wherefore_o when_o the_o minister_n say_v remember_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n if_o then_o we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n do_v we_o not_o so_o make_v answer_n as_o sometime_o deaf_a man_n do_v who_o when_o a_o man_n cale_v for_o a_o knife_n they_o bring_v he_o the_o sheath_n &_o when_o the_o minister_n tell_v the_o

keep_v the_o 8_o day_n be_v we_o not_o then_o like_o those_o that_o come_v to_o church_n when_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v &_o that_o go_v to_o sell_v comodity_n the_o day_n after_o the_o fair_a yea_o be_v not_o this_o to_o babble_n with_o god_n and_o to_o profane_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v take_v but_o ij_o way_n it_o be_v a_o very_a absurd_a thing_n &_o uncharitable_a for_o any_o man_n to_o expound_v they_o in_o the_o worse_a sense_n which_o be_v a_o false_a and_o absurd_a sense_n wherefore_o since_o the_o lord_n day_n can_v be_v mean_v in_o our_o public_a prayer_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n must_v be_v mean_v for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o but_o one_o of_o these_o two_o that_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n to_o wit_n that_o our_o church_n do_v pray_v to_o god_n daily_o to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o so_o these_o 3_o point_n be_v prove_v 1._o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n after_o they_o keep_v it_o 3._o that_o our_o church_n daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o keep_v it_o wherefore_o if_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n &_o the_o religiouse_a practice_n of_o the_o most_o ancient_a and_o primi_fw-la tive_a church_n after_o

have_v think_v to_o have_v add_v no_o more_o by_o way_n of_o proof_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o further_a search_n have_v minister_v unto_o i_o more_o argument_n &_o these_o they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n if_o we_o must_v imitate_v he_o then_o must_v we_o keep_v the_o same_o day_n in_o order_n when_o i●_n come_v and_o so_o do_v

13.14.42.44_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v how_o paul_n go_v into_o the_o synagogue_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n at_o antiochia_n and_o there_o preach_v now_o

44._o now_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o these_o gentile_n be_v convert_v believer_n as_o the_o text_n bewray_v v._o 42.43_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v also_o that_o this_o day_n be_v

such_o there_o be_v wherefore_o 1._o it_o seem_v that_o these_o believe_a gentile_n be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o any_o such_o new_a sabbath_n for_o else_o they_o will_v have_v desire_v paul_n &_o barnabas_n to_o have_v preach_v unto_o they_o the_o next_o day_n not_o the_o next_o sabbath_n day_n the_o next_o lord_n day_n not_o the_o next_o sabbath_n day_n for_o they_o be_v a_o hungry_a &_o find_v a_o sharp_a appetit_fw-la to_o paul_n doctrine_n will_v not_o have_v fast_v for_o it_o 7._o or_o 8._o day_n until_o the_o next_o sabbath_n day_n but_o will_v rather_o have_v be_v feed_v with_o it_o on_o the_o next_o morrow_n the_o day_n after_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o appoint_v for_o sermon_n &_o sabbath_n day_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o desire_v it_o not_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o argue_v that_o these_o christian_n know_v not_o of_o any_o such_o new_a sabbath_n as_o now_o we_o know_v &_o keep_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n 2._o see_v it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o acquaint_v the_o church_n with_o the_o new_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o first_o opportunity_n as_o we_o see_v they_o baptize_v those_o that_o be_v but_o new_o convert_v act._n 2.41_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o think_v that_o if_o these_o believe_a gentile_n have_v neglect_v their_o duty_n or_o have_v not_o former_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v their_o new_a sabbath_n yet_o now_o paul_n &_o barnabas_n if_o the_o one_o forget_v it_o the_o other_o may_v mind_v it_o they_o have_v a_o most_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o reveal_v to_o these_o believe_a gentile_n their_o new_a sabbath_n day_n they_o may_v have_v take_v a_o fit_a occasion_n to_o have_v answer_v their_o suit_n thus_o what_o do_v you_o desire_v to_o hear_v the_o same_o doctrine_n again_o the_o next_o sabbath_n day_n why_o you_o need_v not_o stay_v so_o long_o that_o be_v 7_o or_o 8_o day_n hence_o and_o that_o be_v judaisme_n &_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n day_n

then_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o same_o word_n preach_v again_o so_o the_o apostle_n have_v sit_v occasion_n to_o have_v inform_v these_o disciple_n at_o antioch_n of_o their_o new_a sabbath_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o nay_o i_o can_v see_v how_o with_o discharge_n of_o their_o function_n they_o can_v have_v omit_v such_o a_o occasion_n beside_o as_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n may_v have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n here_o if_o they_o will_v for_o nothing_o hinder_v forasmuch_o as_o these_o gentile_n be_v suitor_n unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o preach_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v at_o the_o

constant_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o when_o paul_n do_v preach_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o here_o he_o do_v at_o troas_n act._n 20.7_o that_o

my_o first_o answer_n 2._o i_o answer_v whereas_o the_o patroness_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o paul_n sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v action_n perform_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n this_o i_o deny_v they_o &_o this_o they_o must_v prove_v for_o it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o both_o the_o sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v do_v in_o the_o night_n time_n which_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o day_n and_o consequent_o that_o these_o action_n be_v not_o do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o confess_v the_o disciple_n meet_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o thence_o that_o therefore_o paul_n preach_v &_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n on_o this_o first_o day_n wherein_o they_o assemble_v that_o this_o be_v no_o paradox_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o text_n give_v i_o light_a unto_o this_o answer_n as_o for_o paul_n sermon_n that_o this_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o night_n time_n after_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v pass_v see_v the_o text_n which_o say_v there_o be_v many_o light_n in_o a_o upper_a chamber_n where_o they_o be_v assemble_v v._o 8._o

14.17.22_o 1_o cor._n 11.21_o and_o paul_n do_v not_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o all_o liklihood_n until_o midnight_n after_o his_o sermon_n be_v finish_v see_v act._n 20.11_o so_o both_o the_o sermon_n and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v perform_v in_o the_o night_n it_o be_v lik_o also_o that_o the_o disciple_n here_o at_o troas_n assemble_v not_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n about_o the_o shut_n in_o of_o the_o day_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n that_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n v._o 7._o that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o evening_n or_o night_n work_n in_o those_o day_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v it_o be_v to_o be_v

thing_n to_o imagine_v that_o paul_n shall_v begin_v his_o sermon_n in_o the_o morning_n about_o 8_o of_o the_o clock_n &_o continue_v his_o preach_n until_o midnight_n it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o sermon_n make_v of_o sixteen_o hour_n long_o wherefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o likely_a that_o paul_n may_v begin_v his_o sermon_n after_o supper_n about_o 9_o or_o 10_o a_o

long_o which_o no_o auditor_n can_v bear_v with_o patience_n &_o profit_n neither_o will_v that_o hinder_v this_o in_o that_o the_o text_n say_v that_o the_o disciple_n meet_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n v._n 7._o for_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o pay_v a_o sum_n of_o money_n on_o such_o a_o day_n though_o he_o
sabbath_n &_o for_o man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o this_o office_n it_o be_v but_o a_o usurpation_n if_o they_o say_v in_o god_n account_n than_o i_o answer_v as_o for_o the_o 6._o day_n they_o be_v

for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v a_o remembrance_n of_o this_o redemption_n be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o some_o only_o of_o these_o man_n how_o absurd_a be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v

and_o such_o as_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n wherefore_o they_o can_v press_v this_o their_o new_a sabbath_n of_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o reason_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o they_o see_v by_o their_o fruit_n do_v already_o believe_v such_o as_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v which_o common_o be_v the_o great_a number_n these_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o

thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o

much_o as_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n god_n give_v they_o manna_n enough_o for_o ij_o day_n the_o 6_o &_o the_o seven_o &_o so_o rain_v down_o none_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o go_v forth_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o sabbath_n day_n &_o this_o be_v the_o journey_n which_o god_n forbid_v nam_o a_o unnecessary_a journey_n for_o why_o shall_v they_o go_v abroad_o to_o seek_v manna_n on_o a_o day_n wherein_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o field_n and_o why_o shall_v they_o seek_v for_o it_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n when_o god_n give_v they_o enough_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n both_o for_o it_o and_o for_o the_o seven_o day_n also_o now_o i_o pray_v show_v i_o where_o be_v that_o rigorouse_a strictness_n of_o the_o jewish_a rest_n for_o which_o end_n this_o text_n

when_o their_o journey_n be_v frivolouse_a &_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o this_o be_v a_o jewish_a strictness_n we_o christian_n use_v it_o and_o urge_v it_o at_o this_o day_n for_o we_o permit_v not_o

&_o to_o the_o redemption_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o creation_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n we_o here_o speak_v for_o it_o differ_v from_o those_o

testimony_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o purpose_n see_v ex._n 31.17_o where_o the_o lord_n speake_v of_o our_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o of_o our_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n say_v thus_o it_o

seven_o day_n rest_n be_v a_o sign_n between_o i_o &_o you_o of_o my_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o seven_o day_n rest_n thus_o the_o sense_n must_v be_v render_v if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n as_o they_o

some_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bind_v we_o to_o do_v the_o like_a &_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v follower_n of_o they_o in_o this_o case_n also_o

the_o king_n coin_v make_v it_o light_a and_o lesser_a than_o his_o majesty_n coin_v it_o for_o argum_fw-la xviii_o my_o 18_o argument_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n

and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v the_o observation_n of_o that_o thing_n by_o christianes_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n record_v to_o posterity_n by_o way_n of_o approbation_n and_o commendation_n that_o be_v no_o ceremony_n but_o moral_a and_o still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v celebrate_v by_o christian_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o be_v record_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o all_o posterity_n by_o way_n of_o approbation_n &_o commendation_n therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v no_o ceremony_n but_o a_o moral_a &_o still_o in_o force_n for_o the_o major_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o for_o since_o that_o all_o ceremony_n have_v their_o period_n and_o last_o date_n at_o christ_n death_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v give_v the_o least_o commendation_n or_o approbation_n of_o any_o ceremony_n practise_v after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n at_o which_o time_n all_o

of_o the_o week_n and_o so_o the_o first_o day_n &_o first_o part_n of_o time_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o redemption_n then_o they_o must_v hold_v our_o saturday_n to_o be_v the_o

and_o so_o the_o whole_a law_n be_v abolish_v both_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a well_o then_o hence_o i_o thus_o reason_n if_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v abolish_v by_o col._n 2.17_o because_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o sabbath_n abolish_v then_o must_v not_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v abolish_v also_o by_o eph._n 2.15_o col._n 2.14_o &_o heb._n 7.12_o because_o here_o be_v
