god_n express_a commandment_n 4_o the_o same_o be_v easy_o prove_v by_o good_a reason_n ground_v upon_o thing_n which_o those_o against_o who_o we_o dispute_v be_v constrain_v to_o advow_v for_o if_o christian_n be_v oblige_v also_o to_o a_o abstinence_n of_o outward_a and_o servile_a work_n which_o to_o the_o jew_n be_v unlawful_a on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o must_v be_v in_o consideration_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o prohibition_n give_v to_o the_o same_o jew_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o do_v such_o work_n on_o that_o day_n see_v otherwise_o to_o do_v they_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o thing_n absolute_o in_o itself_o this_o power_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v extend_v to_o all_o christian_n by_o those_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n which_o i_o maintain_v and_o nevertheless_o they_o avouch_v almost_o all_o of_o they_o that_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o a_o exact_a observation_n such_o as_o be_v the_o observation_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v subject_v unto_o that_o we_o have_v great_a liberty_n that_o we_o may_v on_o our_o sabbath_n day_n kindle_v the_o fire_n make_v meat_n ready_a not_o only_o for_o our_o ordinary_a refection_n but_o also_o for_o feast_n and_o banquet_n so_o they_o be_v not_o too_o sumptuous_a go_v abroad_o for_o other_o end_n then_o for_o god_n service_n as_o to_o walk_v and_o do_v other_o such_o thing_n and_o that_o without_o the_o case_n of_o urgent_a necessity_n which_o sometime_o make_v they_o lawful_a to_o the_o jew_n themselves_o they_o call_v such_o action_n work_v of_o christian_a liberty_n which_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v permit_v to_o christian_n although_o they_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o the_o jew_n as_o be_v the_o work_n of_o godliness_n mercy_n and_o urgent_a necessity_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n but_o they_o may_v be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n this_o only_a they_o require_v that_o these_o work_n of_o christian_a liberty_n be_v do_v without_o scandal_n without_o any_o disturbance_n of_o god_n service_n and_o without_o any_o hindrance_n to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n 5_o now_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o so_o rigid_a observation_n but_o i_o ask_v they_o wherefore_o we_o shall_v be_v permit_v to_o do_v some_o work_n which_o be_v prohibit_v to_o the_o jew_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o to_o kindle_v the_o fire_n prepare_v and_o dress_v meat_n walk_v abroad_o without_o necessity_n and_o not_o other_o work_n which_o be_v not_o forbid_v more_o severe_o than_o the_o former_a as_o to_o plough_v sow_n reap_v carry_v burden_n etc._n etc._n the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v alike_o unlawful_a to_o the_o jew_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o interdiction_n give_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o reiterated_a so_o often_o elsewhere_o if_o this_o interdiction_n tie_v still_o our_o hand_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o do_v these_o last_o work_n and_o other_o such_o like_a i_o will_v fain_o know_v upon_o what_o ground_n they_o hold_v that_o it_o release_v and_o suffer_v we_o to_o do_v these_o former_a work_n what_o reason_n have_v they_o to_o extend_v our_o christian_a liberty_n to_o the_o one_o and_o not_o to_o the_o other_o see_v there_o be_v no_o relaxation_n give_v we_o for_o the_o one_o more_o express_o than_o for_o the_o other_o see_v also_o mean_n may_v be_v find_v to_o do_v the_o last_o as_o well_o as_o the_o first_o without_o scandal_n and_o without_o any_o let_v by_o either_o to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 6_o therefore_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n confess_v that_o they_o be_v equal_o permit_v or_o equal_o forbid_v see_v the_o four_o commandment_n make_v no_o distinction_n now_o they_o advow_v that_o some_o work_n be_v permit_v to_o we_o which_o be_v by_o the_o four_o commandment_n forbid_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v work_n of_o christian_a liberty_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o all_o other_o work_n be_v also_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o we_o have_v liberty_n to_o do_v they_o all_o on_o our_o sunday_n and_o that_o as_o the_o four_o commandment_n oblige_v not_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n which_o it_o prescribe_v so_o precise_o no_o more_o do_v it_o oblige_v they_o to_o do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n on_o that_o day_n for_o these_o two_o part_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v alike_o precise_a and_o the_o one_o be_v of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o the_o other_o chapter_n three_o answer_v to_o a_o reply_n make_v to_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n 1._o a_o general_a reply_n that_o the_o

or_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o few_o it_o be_v also_o to_o many_o but_o i_o wonder_v how_o those_o which_o have_v make_v this_o distinction_n of_o banquet_n can_v have_v the_o heart_n to_o make_v

of_o imminent_a necessity_n or_o at_o the_o most_o they_o suffer_v only_o those_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o a_o comfortable_a entertainment_n of_o the_o person_n as_o to_o prepare_v meat_n for_o

this_o may_v be_v do_v as_o well_o on_o any_o other_o day_n and_o that_o the_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n of_o wedding_n can_v hardly_o have_v the_o quality_n which_o they_o require_v will_v it_o not_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o their_o maxim_n to_o forbid_v they_o absolute_o on_o that_o day_n 21_o five_o as_o for_o play_n game_n pastime_n recreation_n which_o be_v honest_a and_o lawful_a
