worship_n they_o its_o beginning_n must_v be_v in_o the_o morning_n for_o if_o the_o latter_a or_o follow_a evening_n belong_v to_o this_o natural_a day_n before_o sleep_a time_n come_v on_o than_o

from_o christ_n resurrection_n thus_o that_o day_n and_o that_o time_n of_o the_o day_n aught_o to_o be_v our_o sabbath_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o it_o when_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o rest_v after_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n and_o arise_v but_o that_o be_v the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o week_n in_o the_o morning_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n this_o bind_v we_o strong_o who_o take_v that_o day_n on_o which_o he_o arise_v to_o be_v our_o christian_a sabbath_n the_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o resurrection_n together_o wherein_o these_o thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n be_v observable_a 1._o that_o he_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a on_o fryday_n night_n be_v the_o preparation_n to_o the_o great_a sabbath_n which_o follow_v 2._o that_o the_o woman_n who_o rest_v and_o come_v not_o to_o the_o grave_a till_o sunday_n morning_n to_o use_v our_o know_a name_n be_v say_v to_o rest_v according_a to_o the_o commandment_n as_o if_o

the_o second_o and_o last_o a_o part_n of_o the_o night_n to_o wit_n from_o twelve_o a_o clock_n at_o night_n belong_v to_o the_o first_o day_n or_o sunday_n stand_v for_o the_o three_o and_o so_o

therefore_o their_o sabbath_n seventh-day_n end_v then_o and_o the_o first_o day_n sabbath_n begin_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o three_o general_a question_n concern_v the_o change_n to_o wit_n the_o change_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n into_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n where_o first_o we_o shall_v sum_v up_o what_o be_v moral_a in_o this_o command_n and_o then_o second_o by_o some_o proposition_n clear_v the_o change_n and_o its_o consistency_n with_o this_o command_n to_o the_o first_o then_o this_o command_n do_v moral_o and_o perpetual_o oblige_v to_o these_o 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o solemn_a time_n set_v apart_o and_o observe_v for_o worship_n 2._o that_o this_o shall_v be_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o 3._o that_o it_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o day_n the_o very_a day_n which_o god_n command_v the_o sabbath_n of_o his_o appointment_n whatever_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v 4._o that_o it_o be_v a_o whole_a natural_a day_n of_o twenty_o four_o hour_n yet_o have_v a_o artificial_a day_n together_o undivided_a 5._o that_o six_o and_o no_o more_o but_o six_o work_v day_n intervent_v and_o that_o these_o be_v together_o in_o a_o week_n and_o therefore_o 6._o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o bound_a day_n divide_v one_o work_a week_n from_o another_o if_o then_o six_o work_a day_n must_v be_v in_o one_o week_n and_o go_v together_o this_o will_v follow_v also_o that_o the_o sabbath_n must_v be_v the_o first_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o as_o for_o the_o proposition_n clear_v the_o change_n and_o consistency_n of_o it_o with_o this_o command_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v this_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v change_v from_o the_o last_o or_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n without_o any_o derogation_n to_o this_o command_n or_o inconsistency_n with_o it_o for_o all_o that_o be_v moral_a in_o it_o to_o wit_n a_o day_n and_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o a_o bound_a seven_o day_n leave_v six_o for_o work_n together_o remain_z untouched_a by_o the_o change_n beside_o the_o seven_o day_n not_o have_v its_o institution_n from_o this_o command_n express_o and_o direct_o but_o only_o accidental_o the_o particular_a day_n whether_o the_o jew_n seven_o day_n or_o the_o christian_n first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v suppose_v by_o the_o four_o commandment_n as_o institute_v or_o to_o be_v institute_v elsewhere_o as_o be_v say_v and_o its_o first_o institution_n gen._n 2._o be_v only_o a_o positive_a and_o temporary_a law_n may_v be_v therefore_o change_v and_o yet_o the_o four_o commandment_n keep_v entire_a we_o need_v not_o insist_v in_o further_a prosecution_n of_o this_o proposition_n much_o be_v speak_v to_o it_o on_o the_o matter_n already_o 2._o propos_fw-fr not_o only_o may_v the_o seven_o be_v alter_v from_o what_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o another_o seven_o day_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a from_o good_a reason_n even_o in_o the_o command_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o 1._o if_o these_o two_o age_n before_o christ_n and_o after_o he_o be_v look_v on_o as_o diverse_a world_n and_o if_o the_o redemption_n by_o christ_n at_o his_o come_n be_v account_v the_o make_n of_o the_o one_o as_o god_n creation_n be_v of_o the_o other_o than_o its_o meet_a that_o when_o the_o world_n be_v renew_a by_o redemption_n the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v change_v for_o memory_n of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v institute_v at_o first_o for_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o former_a there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o both_o but_o they_o be_v look_v on_o as_o two_o distinct_a world_n and_o call_v so_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n heb._n 11._o 2._o and_o this_o last_o world_n distinguish_v from_o the_o
never_o read_v that_o they_o keep_v it_o but_o another_o day_n 2._o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n keep_v and_o esteem_v the_o first_o day_n for_o their_o solemn_a day_n beyond_o and_o above_o all_o day_n yea_o and_o it_o only_o as_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n for_o 1._o on_o that_o day_n they_o use_v to_o meet_v ordinary_o and_o that_o not_o occasional_o but_o purposely_o and_o determinate_o as_o john_n 20._o verse_n 19_o and_o 26._o which_o be_v clear_o the_o first_o day_n 2._o they_o be_v purposely_o together_o and_o not_o for_o fear_v for_o fear_n scatter_v but_o while_o they_o be_v together_o they_o do_v for_o fear_v shut_v the_o door_n be_v very_o probable_o lead_v from_o the_o news_n of_o the_o resurrection_n to_o be_v together_o and_o so_o gain_v verse_n 26._o they_o meet_v and_o christ_n with_o they_o and_o though_o it_o may_v possible_o be_v that_o on_o other_o day_n they_o meet_v yet_o doubtless_o this_o hold_v forth_o something_o peculiar_a to_o this_o day_n and_o some_o lesson_n to_o be_v take_v from_o it_o that_o 1._o christ_n come_v to_o they_o be_v especial_o try_v on_o that_o day_n and_o that_o while_o they_o be_v together_o 2._o that_o when_o they_o meet_v at_o any_o other_o time_n ere_o he_o come_v to_o they_o its_o never_o say_v they_o be_v or_o come_v together_o the_o second_o three_o or_o four_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o on_o the_o first_o and_o wherefore_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n record_v that_o day_n or_o their_o meeting_n on_o that_o day_n when_o he_o omit_v the_o name_n of_o other_o day_n but_o that_o that_o day_n in_o its_o exercise_n may_v be_v especial_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o though_o other_o day_n have_v be_v much_o alike_o in_o exercise_n to_o they_o yet_o the_o record_v of_o this_o day_n so_o often_o and_o omit_v the_o other_o intimate_v a_o difference_n sure_o they_o be_v not_o alike_o in_o this_o so_o much_o for_o the_o 20._o of_o john_n which_o be_v the_o first_o place_n of_o scripture_n we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o second_o be_v act_n 2._o 1_o 2._o here_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v all_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o one_o place_n when_o pentecost_n come_v where_o its_o clear_a 1._o that_o

passover_n day_n be_v on_o the_o sabbath_n call_v john_n 19_o 31._o a_o high_a sabbath_n in_o which_o christ_n lie_v all_o the_o day_n in_o the_o grave_n as_o appear_z for_o that_o day_n be_v call_v their_o preparation_n for_o the_o feast_n wherein_o christ_n suffer_v which_o be_v our_o friday_n reckon_v now_o what_o will_v be_v the_o fifty_o day_n after_o or_o pentecost_n and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o observable_a for_o their_o meeting_n but_o for_o god_n send_v the_o spirit_n on_o they_o as_o a_o special_a blessing_n of_o that_o day_n and_o his_o countenance_v of_o their_o worship_v he_o on_o it_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n 2._o it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o do_v meet_v together_o on_o this_o day_n 3._o that_o this_o meeting_n together_o be_v not_o a_o daily_a or_o ordinary_a meeting_n together_o for_o john_n 21._o we_o see_v they_o go_v to_o fish_v and_o no_o question_n sometime_o they_o go_v asunder_o for_o verse_n 1._o it_o be_v mark_v as_o a_o thing_n not_o ordinary_a to_o every_o day_n that_o on_o that_o day_n they_o be_v altogether_o in_o one_o place_n 4._o it_o be_v not_o a_o

there_o have_v not_o be_v some_o solemn_a worship_n in_o that_o or_o that_o he_o will_v have_v pass_v the_o old_a seventh-day_n sabbath_n especial_o to_o mar_v of_o his_o other_o occasion_n have_v

public_a worship_n on_o that_o day_n if_o the_o former_a seven_o have_v be_v employ_v in_o that_o service_n but_o here_o the_o church_n be_v constitute_v of_o believe_a gentile_n there_o be_v no_o

till_o midnight_n yet_o account_v it_o still_o one_o day_n in_o solemn_a meeting_n do_v confirm_v this_o day_n to_o be_v more_o than_o a_o ordinary_a day_n or_o then_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o be_v special_o dedicate_v to_o these_o service_n and_o exercise_n and_o total_o spend_v in_o they_o 7._o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o they_o be_v not_o send_v for_o
