be_v mighty_o deface_v and_o want_v its_o beauty_n and_o again_o it_o be_v a_o church_n that_o can_v continue_v for_o when_o they_o do_v not_o reprove_v and_o rebuke_v offender_n and_o deal_v severe_o

may_v show_v antiquity_n for_o his_o drunkenness_n and_o the_o adulterer_n may_v show_v antiquity_n for_o his_o uncleanness_n etc._n etc._n but_o he_o be_v a_o true_a christian_n that_o can_v show_v

now_o if_o a_o church_n have_v no_o better_a mark_n than_o antiquity_n it_o be_v a_o false_a church_n another_o mark_n of_o a_o false_a church_n be_v universality_n universality_n when_o they_o have_v

and_o other_o church_n as_o alexandria_n and_o other_o can_v show_v succession_n as_o well_o as_o rome_n so_o that_o succession_n of_o pastor_n be_v nothing_o unless_o they_o can_v show_v succession_n

though_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n because_o christ_n arise_v in_o the_o morning_n they_o be_v reckon_v from_o morning_n to_o morning_n four_o another_o argument_n be_v this_o god_n never_o ordain_v half_o holy_a day_n in_o his_o church_n indeed_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v half_a holy_a day_n as_o saint_n blacy_n day_n which_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o before_o noon_n so_o they_o have_v other_o day_n that_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o afternoon_n but_o in_o the_o forenoon_n they_o may_v do_v what_o they_o list_v so_o heathen_n do_v as_o ovid_n say_v the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o day_n be_v holy_a the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o day_n be_v not_o holy_a the_o lord_n have_v no_o such_o day_n as_o these_o but_o all_o holy_a day_n in_o scripture_n if_o god_n ever_o appoint_v a_o fast_n or_o new_a moon_n or_o feast_v of_o tabernacle_n whatsoever_o holy_a day_n he_o do_v institute_v it_o be_v a_o whole_a day_n and_o not_o a_o part_n of_o a_o day_n therefore_o much_o more_o this_o solemn_a day_n again_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v concern_v a_o whole_a day_n i_o can_v instance_n in_o the_o father_n as_o in_o irenaeus_n who_o say_v we_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o sabbath_n all_o the_o day_n long_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v require_v all_o the_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a unto_o he_o and_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v always_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n so_o saint_n austin_n say_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o keep_v three_o or_o four_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n but_o that_o we_o rest_v the_o whole_a day_n and_o what_o rest_n not_o only_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o bodily_a labour_n for_o the_o beast_n keep_v this_o sabbath_n nor_o the_o rest_n of_o sport_n and_o pastime_n for_o that_o be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o golden_a calf_n they_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v no_o but_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v vacant_a to_o god_n all_o the_o day_n in_o prayer_n and_o serve_v of_o he_o so_o in_o the_o council_n of_o mexicon_n there_o be_v a_o assembly_n of_o minister_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n in_o christendom_n and_o they_o ordain_v a_o canon_n concern_v the_o lord_n day_n we_o ordain_v that_o people_n keep_v the_o whole_a lord_n day_n holy_a and_o that_o they_o set_v themselves_o the_o whole_a day_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o delight_n in_o god_n and_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o if_o a_o countryman_n servant_n break_v this_o day_n his_o punishment_n shall_v be_v to_o be_v beat_v with_o severe_a blow_n ictubus_fw-la gravioribus_fw-la be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o council_n and_o if_o a_o lawyer_n offer_v to_o plead_v this_o day_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o plead_n or_o case_n and_o if_o a_o minister_n break_v this_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v excommunicate_v half_o a_o year_n and_o throw_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o church_n again_o but_o upon_o great_a humiliation_n this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n and_o it_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o reverend_a divine_a musculus_fw-la upon_o exod._n 20._o god_n do_v not_o say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a he_o that_o keep_v it_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o keep_v it_o holy_a but_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a he_o will_v have_v a_o day_n keep_v holy_a nay_o calvin_n who_o they_o take_v to_o be_v on_o their_o side_n to_o be_v a_o patron_n of_o their_o liberty_n he_o himself_o write_v upon_o deut._n 6._o upon_o these_o word_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o say_v we_o be_v to_o keep_v this_o day_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o keep_v this_o day_n and_o not_o a_o part_n of_o it_o but_o all_o of_o it_o the_o second_o use_n be_v this_o we_o may_v hence_o see_v that_o sport_n and_o pastime_n be_v not_o use_v 2_o agreeable_a to_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v forbid_v our_o weekly_a work_n on_o that_o day_n then_o sure_o he_o have_v forbid_v sport_n and_o pastime_n the_o reason_n be_v good_a first_o because_o our_o weekly_a work_n be_v thing_n command_v at_o other_o time_n now_o sport_n and_o pastime_n be_v never_o command_v by_o god_n but_o only_o permit_v now_o if_o thing_n command_v and_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a at_o sometime_o if_o these_o notwithstanding_o may_v not_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o much_o less_o must_v those_o be_v do_v that_o be_v permit_v only_o second_o because_o weekly_a work_n do_v less_o distract_v a_o man_n from_o god_n then_o sport_n and_o pastime_n i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n here_o present_a if_o he_o be_v not_o more_o heavenly_a and_o better_o employ_v and_o less_o distract_v from_o good_a thought_n and_o gracious_a affection_n when_o he_o be_v plough_v or_o sow_v or_o thresh_v then_o when_o he_o be_v dice_v and_o card_v sport_n and_o pastime_n beat_v a_o man_n further_o off_o from_o religion_n and_o let_v a_o man_n go_v to_o prayer_n after_o sport_n and_o pastime_n he_o shall_v find_v himself_o more_o unfit_a and_o unaffected_a a_o great_a deal_n than_o he_o shall_v when_o he_o come_v from_o the_o work_n of_o his_o call_n now_o if_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v less_o distract_v from_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n be_v forbid_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o sure_o much_o more_o th●se_a thing_n that_o do_v more_o distract_v must_v needs_o be_v forbid_v upon_o that_o day_n the_o end_n quae_fw-la deus_fw-la abscondit_fw-la ne_fw-la
