if_o god_n have_v intend_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v have_v be_v appropriate_v to_o have_v be_v a_o sabbath_n he_o have_v design_v each_o day_n by_o a_o special_a term_n and_o have_v command_v that_o a_o day_n of_o such_o a_o designation_n shall_v have_v be_v sequestrate_v for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o that_o by_o design_v only_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o do_v leave_v a_o liberty_n to_o employ_v any_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o for_o that_o use_n yet_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o mosos_n nor_o the_o jewish_a church_n dare_v not_o attempt_v the_o change_n of_o their_o new-year_n day_n but_o that_o the_o almighty_a be_v please_v to_o bestow_v a_o peculiar_a sanction_n upon_o that_o alteration_n for_o exod._n 12._o 2._o he_o command_v that_o the_o month_n wherein_o the_o israelite_n come_v from_o egypt_n shall_v be_v by_o they_o repute_v the_o first_o month_n of_o their_o year_n wherefore_o see_v each_o nation_n chalk_v out_o a_o divers_a sabbath_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v something_o of_o humour_n in_o it_o as_o well_o as_o of_o religion_n the_o venerious_a mahometan_a choose_v friday_n or_o dies_fw-la veneris_fw-la the_o dull_a jew_n dull_a saturn_n day_n the_o warlike_a parthian_n tuesday_n or_o mars-day_n the_o cheery_a european_n sunday_n and_o albeit_o the_o christian_n be_v influence_v only_o by_o inspiration_n yet_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o heathen_n do_v follow_v that_o for_o religion_n which_o suit_v best_a with_o their_o natural_a temper_n but_o this_o be_v a_o meditation_n which_o shall_v travel_v no_o where_o beyond_o a_o man_n private_a breast_n lest_o it_o meet_v with_o enmity_n and_o beget_v scandal_n it_o will_v puzzle_v a_o heathen_a much_o to_o hear_v that_o he_o who_o break_v one_o of_o these_o law_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o but_o it_o trouble_v not_o i_o see_v all_o these_o law_n be_v make_v to_o show_v our_o obedience_n and_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o one_o of_o they_o show_v our_o contempt_n of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o and_o it_o may_v be_v this_o be_v typify_v in_o moses_n break_v both_o table_n with_o one_o passionate_a fling_n after_o he_o come_v down_o from_o the_o mount_n for_o if_o this_o break_n of_o they_o have_v not_o be_v pre-designed_a for_o some_o hide_a end_n doubtless_o he_o have_v be_v reprove_v for_o his_o negligence_n however_o we_o may_v from_o this_o learn_v the_o desperate_a nature_n of_o passion_n which_o make_v moses_n who_o be_v the_o meek_a man_n upon_o earth_n break_v all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o one_o act_n it_o may_v be_v also_o argue_v that_o see_v all_o the_o law_n of_o the_o second_o table_n be_v enact_v for_o and_o respect_v ultimate_o the_o advantage_n of_o man_n that_o where_o man_n be_v not_o wrong_v there_o the_o law_n can_v be_v break_v and_o thus_o if_o a_o marry_a man_n shall_v have_v liberty_n from_o his_o wife_n to_o take_v another_o woman_n this_o can_v be_v no_o more_o repute_v adultery_n than_o it_o can_v be_v repute_v theft_n to_o take_v what_o belong_v to_o our_o neighbour_n himself_o consent_v and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n iacob_n beget_v child_n with_o his_o wife_n maid_n be_v not_o in_o scripture_n reprove_v as_o adultery_n because_o they_o be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o herself_o for_o that_o effect_n but_o see_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o world_n condemn_v this_o conclusion_n far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o press_v it_o further_o albeit_o the_o judicial_a law_n which_o law_n may_v be_v just_o call_v the_o judicious_a law_n be_v common_o repute_v to_o be_v but_o the_o municipal_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n yet_o see_v it_o be_v thunder_v from_o mount_n sinai_n with_o so_o much_o pomp_n and_o be_v engross_v in_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a truth_n and_o seem_v nearly_a relate_v to_o reason_n then_o any_o other_o law_n i_o admire_v why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v religious_o observe_v by_o all_o nation_n especial_o see_v as_o it_o be_v the_o exact_a picture_n of_o justice_n that_o ever_o be_v draw_v so_o it_o have_v this_o of_o a_o picture_n in_o it_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o look_v direct_o upon_o all_o who_o behold_v it_o albeit_o they_o be_v place_v among_o themselves_o in_o direct_o opposite_a situation_n and_o stance_n thus_o this_o law_n suit_v even_o with_o contrary_a temper_n and_o the_o unequal_a complexion_n of_o all_o nation_n i_o know_v that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v likeways_o insert_v among_o the_o other_o holy_a canon_n and_o yet_o bind_v not_o we_o who_o live_v under_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v because_o these_o do_v immediate_o concern_v the_o jewish_a church_n and_o be_v conversant_a about_o these_o holy_a thing_n and_o so_o see_v the_o old_a testament_n be_v a_o description_n of_o their_o hierarchy_n and_o of_o god_n way_n of_o work_v in_o these_o time_n i_o wonder_v not_o to_o see_v these_o ceremony_n amid_o other_o sacred_a truth_n and_o yet_o not_o observe_v see_v they_o be_v express_o abrogat_fw-la but_o if_o the_o judicial_a law_n which_o respect_v not_o the_o hierarchy_n of_o that_o church_n be_v obligatour_n only_o whilst_o the_o jewish_a state_n be_v in_o be_v i_o admire_v why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n take_v so_o much_o pain_n first_o to_o pen_n it_o and_o then_o to_o deliver_v it_o so_o canon-like_a to_o posterity_n and_o since_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o law_n and_o reason_n that_o law_n must_v still_o stand_v in_o vigour_n till_o they_o be_v express_o abrogat_fw-la and_o must_v not_o be_v derogate_a from_o by_o consequence_n or_o presumption_n i_o admire_v why_o this_o law_n which_o god_n have_v enervat_fw-la by_o no_o express_a text_n shall_v be_v now_o look_v upon_o as_o statute_n nowise_o a-la-mode_o it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o saviour_n when_o the_o woman_n convict_v of_o adultery_n be_v bring_v to_o he_o do_v not_o according_a to_o that_o law_n pronounce_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n against_o she_o whence_o some_o think_v that_o churchman_n follow_v their_o master_n example_n shall_v not_o give_v their_o suffrage_n in_o criminal_a case_n and_o have_v only_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o bloodless_a jurisdiction_n for_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v nurse_n not_o chirurgeon_n but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o our_o saviour_n profess_v in_o all_o the_o tract_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n in_o thing_n temporal_a and_o his_o design_n in_o that_o place_n be_v only_o to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o absolve_v she_o not_o to_o abrogat_fw-la the_o law_n and_o therefore_o he_o desire_v he_o who_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n to_o cast_v the_o first_o stone_n at_o she_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v conjecture_v that_o these_o word_n which_o our_o saviour_n stoop_v down_o to_o write_v in_o the_o clay_n immediate_o thereafter_o be_v a_o abrogation_n of_o that_o law_n this_o be_v a_o geomancy_n more_o wild_a than_o any_o lesson_n which_o be_v allege_v to_o have_v be_v read_v in_o the_o mysterious_a face_n of_o heaven_n and_o shall_v never_o be_v teach_v but_o in_o a_o rabbi_n cabalastick_a gown_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o there_o be_v many_o precept_n in_o that_o corpus_fw-la juris_fw-la which_o respect_v only_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o jew_n i_o admire_v why_o that_o can_v be_v urge_v for_o certain_o theft_n murder_n and_o these_o other_o crime_n punish_v there_o be_v the_o same_o crime_n which_o reign_v among_o we_o and_o so_o why_o not_o punishable_a after_o that_o same_o manner_n neither_o be_v the_o humour_n of_o these_o jew_n more_o different_a from_o we_o than_o be_v the_o genius_n of_o the_o roman_n and_o yet_o few_o or_o no_o nation_n refuse_v to_o cast_v their_o modern_a law_n in_o that_o antique_a mould_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o as_o god_n do_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n teach_v man_n how_o to_o be_v just_a in_o his_o own_o action_n so_o he_o will_v likeways_o instruct_v he_o by_o a_o judicial_a law_n how_o to_o administrate_n justice_n to_o other_o what_o can_v perpetuate_v a_o law_n more_o than_o that_o the_o authority_n whereby_o it_o be_v enact_v shall_v be_v obligatory_a in_o all_o age_n and_o the_o reason_n whereon_o it_o be_v found_v shall_v be_v eternal_a and_o in_o what_o law_n do_v these_o two_o quality_n appear_v more_o or_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n where_o the_o eternal_a lawgiver_n be_v legislator_n and_o the_o occasion_n productive_a of_o they_o seem_v rational_a and_o necessary_a to_o his_o infallible_a omniscience_n and_o if_o in_o any_o of_o these_o statute_n our_o purblind_a judgement_n can_v see_v a_o present_a conveniency_n we_o shall_v rather_o impute_v that_o to_o our_o own_o simplicity_n then_o
