for_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o they_o call_v every_o sunday_n lord_n day_n as_o we_o do_v for_o they_o the_o most_o of_o they_o never_o name_v our_o sunday_n lord_n

and_o this_o i_o prove_v because_o they_o do_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o this_o purpose_n see_v mark_n 16.11.9_o where_o mention_n

by_o all_o these_o testimony_n you_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o resurrection_n through_o unbelief_n not_o the_o eleven_o not_o the_o apostle_n

24.29_o bewray_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n resurrection_n how_o then_o i_o marvel_v can_v they_o keep_v that_o lord_n day_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n in_o a_o

how_o confident_a our_o minister_n be_v that_o this_o lord_n day_n be_v constant_o keep_v by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n in_o so_o much_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o puritan_n minister_n

for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sanctification_n when_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o profane_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o matter_n as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v as_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v i_o trust_v the_o people_n will_v be_v so_o wise_a for_o themselves_o in_o this_o point_n as_o to_o give_v their_o minister_n leave_v to_o

it_o be_v suppose_v that_o christ_n touch_v the_o redemption_n do_v imitate_v god_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n thereof_o well_o let_v we_o see_v how_o like_a or_o rather_o unlike_a christ_n be_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n at_o the_o creation_n god_n choose_v the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v but_o we_o have_v see_v it_o plain_o prove_v that_o christ_n choose_v not_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v 2._o god_n rest_v himself_o on_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n

of_o the_o seven_o day_n take_v from_o his_o own_o example_n because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o because_o he_o bless_a &_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n never_o persuade_v his_o church_n by_o any_o reason_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n nor_o by_o his_o example_n nay_o rather_o he_o dissuade_v they_o from_o sanctify_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o his_o

the_o example_n of_o
christ_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n far_o unlike_a to_o the_o example_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v as_o unlike_a

the_o like_a as_o some_o infant-like-man_n imagine_v this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o institute_v for_o a_o sabbath_n whither_o i_o marvel_v then_o will_v they_o run_v for_o a_o institution_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o word_n of_o institution_n nor_o of_o any_o practice_n or_o example_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n

for_o 6_o or_o 7_o week_n together_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n thus_o the_o further_a we_o search_v in_o to_o this_o point_n the_o more_o vain_a it_o do_v appear_v in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o

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

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

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

think_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n esteem_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v sabbath_n day_n and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v also_o that_o paul_n keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n 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 ergo_fw-la it_o be_v in_o the_o night_n time_n that_o they_o be_v assemble_v again_o the_o text_n say_v that_o paul_n continue_v his_o preach_n unto_o midnight_n v._o 7._o wherefore_o it_o be_v

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

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

supper_n time_n and_o at_o evening_n time_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o day_n again_o the_o text_n say_v paul_n continue_v his_o preach_n until_o midnight_n now_o it_o be_v a_o most_o unreasonable_a 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

so_o long_o what_o 1600_o year_n they_o bewray_v their_o own_o error_n &_o ignorance_n to_o speak_v so_o for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o church_n never_o account_v it_o or_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o for_o a_o holy_a day_n remissly_a for_o 1500_o or_o 1600_o year_n together_o but_o admit_v that_o our_o church_n or_o some_o in_o our_o church_n rather_o have_v account_v the_o

will_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o primitive_a church_n for_o he_o say_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o decree_n concern_v holy_a day_n of_o which_o number_n the_o

unto_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o other_o holy_a day_n but_o this_o only_a i_o deny_v that_o they_o sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n as_o divine_o institute_v and_o appoint_v by_o christ_n or_o his_o

since_o we_o see_v they_o and_o say_v they_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o prove_v the_o point_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v this_o i_o suppose_v they_o that_o first_o set_v their_o

but_o miselike_v this_o they_o judge_v it_o better_o to_o have_v it_o stand_v by_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o have_v use_v their_o wit_n to_o wrest_v these_o scripture_n thitherwards_o so_o now_o they_o have_v father_v the_o matter_n all_o upon_o god_n and_o make_v this_o lord_n day_n a_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o get_v the_o more_o honour_n unto_o it_o this_o dare_v not_o s._n

see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o tradition_n a_o popish_a tradition_n &_o as_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o s._n augustine_n so_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o confirm_v by_o other_o also_o by_o &_o by_o now_o if_o it_o prove_v but_o a_o tradition_n they_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o romish_a rubbish_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o clean_o sweep_v out_o of_o the_o reform_a church_n an_o other_o

for_o they_o to_o overthrow_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o can_v be_v know_v this_o argument_n be_v much_o press_v against_o i_o by_o m._n stinnet_n for_o one_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o by_o this_o reason_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o neither_o the_o prophet_n nor_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o live_v after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n in_o joshua_n his_o time_n until_o

after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n keep_v or_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o passover_n on_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o month_n nor_o their_o other_o feast_n day_n &_o all_o forsooth_o because_o the_o stand_n still_o of_o the_o sun_n have_v make_v such_o a_o alteration_n of_o time_n that_o they_o know_v not_o saturday_n from_o sunday_n any_o long_o nor_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o

when_o they_o study_v for_o such_o simple_a stuff_n as_o this_o be_v against_o they_o be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v a_o needless_a voluntary_a and_o unnecessary_a opposition_n to_o god_n ordinance_n for_o what_o necessity_n be_v here_o in_o this_o text_n to_o move_v a_o man_n to_o oppose_v god_n in_o his_o sabbath_n 2._o i_o prove_v their_o ground_n false_a whereon_o they_o build_v they_o suppose_v the_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v know_v because_o of_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n but_o i_o prove_v that_o long_o after_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v

day_n be_v the_o seven_o and_o which_o day_n be_v the_o first_o etc._n etc._n other_o answer_v i_o give_v also_o in_o my_o former_a book_n but_o these_o be_v enough_o &_o too_o many_o for_o such_o idle_a argument_n an_o other_o argument_n of_o like_a nature_n they_o use_v and_o this_o be_v a_o fit_a place_n to_o answer_v it_o if_o it_o deserve_v answer_v it_o be_v this_o if_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o must_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n half_o a_o year_n together_o for_o in_o some_o country_n there_o be_v half_a a_o year_n light_a or_o day_n together_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o be_v it_o good_a also_o against_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o how_o shall_v all_o nationes_fw-la be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n see_v that_o then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o lord_n day_n half_o a_o year_n long_o &_o c_o 2._o i_o answer_v by_o like_a reason_n a_o man_n may_v thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o 5_o come_v belong_v not_o unto_o all_o man_n because_o some_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o it_o as_o a_o king_n who_o father_n &_o mother_n be_v dead_a but_o what_o &_o if_o the_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_a live_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o 5_o come_v shall_v none_o of_o his_o subject_n therefore_o who_o have_v parent_n and_o superior_n live_v be_v bind_v unto_o the_o 5_o come_v &_o so_o what_o if_o some_o one_o country_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o of_o the_o exceed_a length_n and_o discommodiousness_n of_o their_o day_n shall_v not_o we_o &_o other_o nation_n therefore_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o four_o come_v who_o have_v day_n of_o convenient_a length_n much_o like_a as_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o canaan_n and_o no_o such_o incommodiousenesse_n in_o the_o 10_o come_v it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v thy_o neighbour_n ass_n now_o thousand_o in_o our_o country_n have_v no_o ass_n will_v they_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o such_o man_n among_o we_o who_o neighbour_n have_v ass_n be_v not_o forbid_v to_o covet_v their_o neighbour_n ass_n because_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o 10_o come_v do_v not_o reach_v unto_o every_o man_n other_o object_n that_o we_o can_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o our_o saturday_n begin_v not_o just_a at_o the_o some_o point_n of_o time_n when_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n begin_v in_o canaan_n but_o by_o the_o like_a reason_n we_o may_v now_o say_v that_o we_o can_v celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n neither_o for_o we_o drink_v not_o just_a the_o self_n same_o kind_n of_o wine_n which_o christ_n drink_v

because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o

rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o

unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o

after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n

it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o not_o every_o thing_n which_o the_o jew_n practise_v be_v to_o be_v account_v for_o judaisme_n for_o then_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n shall_v be_v judaisme_n

the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o this_o flight_n but_o only_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o their_o study_n &_o care_n and_o other_o humane_a &_o natural_a mean_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o prevention_n of_o this_o flight_n so_o then_o prayer_n be_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v use_v christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v use_v yea_o since_o prayer_n must_v be_v accompany_v with_o all_o mean_n &_o indeavore_n of_o man_n if_o

they_o may_v not_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereby_o you_o
that_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o a_o feign_a &_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n but_o a_o true_a &_o religiouse_a conscience_n for_o the_o other_o thing_n whereof_o christ_n admonish_v they_o be_v not_o feign_a thing_n but_o true_a and_o real_a thing_n as_o when_o he_o say_v woe_n shall_v be_v to_o they_o which_o be_v with_o child_n &_o which_o give_v suck_v v._o 19_o this_o be_v not_o

v._o 20._o it_o be_v no_o superstitiouse_a conceit_n in_o christ_n disciple_n to_o think_v the_o winter_n a_o very_a unseasonable_a time_n to_o fly_v in_o but_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o &_o so_o we_o be_v to_o think_v semblable_o of_o their_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o it_o be_v no_o needless_a &_o superstitiouse_a conceit_n in_o they_o to_o think_v it_o a_o offence_n unto_o god_n a_o breach_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o a_o grievouse_n matter_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n at_o what_o time_n they_o shall_v be_v serve_v and_o worship_v of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o objection_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n may_v be_v mean_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o some_o one_o of_o their_o yearly_a sabbath_n &_o so_o then_o if_o christ_n have_v ratify_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o text_n it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o a_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o rather_o they_o think_v thus_o because_o it_o be_v think_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n flee_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o upon_o a_o festival_n sabbath_n but_o hereunto_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v no_o yearly_a sabbath_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v for_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v all_o ceremony_n and_o to_o be_v abolish_v long_o before_o that_o siege_n of_o jerusalem_n if_o christ_n disciple_n have_v make_v conscience_n of_o those_o than_o their_o conscience_n have_v be_v superstitiouse_a but_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o superstitiouse_a as_o have_v be_v show_v &_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v and_o they_o make_v conscience_n it_o be_v no_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o weekly_a sabbath_n 2._o the_o word_n sabbath_n when_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v put_v absolute_o without_o any_o addition_n &_o when_o the_o context_n give_v no_o light_n to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v to_o be_v understod_a of_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o weekly_a sabbath_n for_o this_o be_v the_o most_o frequent_a &_o ordinary_a sabbath_n &_o christ_n his_o speech_n be_v to_o be_v understod_a in_o a_o ordinary_a &_o not_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a sense_n and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v usual_a rather_o than_o of_o those_o which_o be_v rare_a &_o seldom_o as_o for_o their_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v think_v they_o flee_v upon_o a_o yearly_a sabbath_n day_n &_o not_o upon_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n this_o prove_v not_o that_o therefore_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n but_o rather_o that_o their_o conscience_n be_v of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v upon_o a_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o they_o do_v pray_v according_o &_o further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o since_o they_o pray_v at_o christ_n commandment_n and_o be_v christ_n disciple_n that_o they_o pray_v in_o faith_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o obtain_v their_o prayer_n whence_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v that_o they_o pray_v against_o flight_n on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o they_o do_v not_o fly_v on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o god_n hear_v their_o prayer_n but_o to_o think_v they_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o yearly_a ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o pray_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o be_v drive_v to_o fly_v on_o it_o be_v absurd_o to_o suppose_v that_o god_n crose_v their_o prayer_n and_o deny_v their_o petition_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o 2d_o objection_n the_o last_o objection_n or_o rather_o answer_n be_v that_o by_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n christ_n may_v understand_v the_o lord_n day_n but_o why_o may_v they_o not_o as_o well_o say_v when_o christ_n speak_v of_o winter_n he_o mean_v the_o summer_n and_o when_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v mention_n of_o circumcision_n thereby_o may_v baptism_n be_v mean_v where_o do_v they_o ever_o read_v the_o lord_n day_n name_v sabbath_n day_n in_o scripture_n sure_a i_o be_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v a_o plain_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n see_v mark_n 16.1.2_o final_o who_o that_o consider_v how_o christ_n &_o his_o disciple_n make_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o travail_a day_n luk._n 24.13_o can_v think_v that_o christ_n will_v not_o permit_v his_o disciple_n 50_o year_n after_o to_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o save_v their_o life_n if_o by_o this_o sabbath_n day_n he_o mean_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o thus_o much_o for_o my_o eleaventh_o argument_n which_o stand_v good_a against_o all_o their_o obiectiones_fw-la and_o gainesaying_n argum_fw-la xii_o my_o twelu_v &_o last_v argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o 1._o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v &_o keep_v it_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n 2._o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v and_o keep_v it_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n time_n 3._o our_o own_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 it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o frame_v that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v and_o keep_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o which_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v &_o keep_v after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n &_o which_o our_o own_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 that_o day_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v and_o keep_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v and_o keep_v it_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n &_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o

consist_v of_o 3_o branch_n as_o you_o see_v as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o they_o which_o be_v that_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n this_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v i_o because_o it_o be_v the_o very_a position_n of_o my_o adversary_n for_o they_o thus_o argue_v for_o their_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n that_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n wherefore_o they_o can_v doubt_v of_o my_o major_n furthermore_o it_o may_v be_v

therefore_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o keep_v that_o day_n must_v be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o we_o must_v keep_v it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v keep_v a_o day_n but_o now_o &_o then_o as_o once_o in_o a_o month_n or_o once_o in_o a_o year_n or_o once_o in_o many_o year_n as_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n than_o it_o have_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v constant_o usual_o &_o every_o week_n week_n by_o week_n there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n imagine_v why_o that_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v

that_o s._n paul_n do_v so_o or_o that_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 keep_v that_o day_n for_o our_o sabbath_n which_o they_o keep_v &_o constant_o keep_v also_o as_o for_o the_o other_o 2_o branch_n of_o my_o major_n they_o can_v be_v deny_v unless_o man_n dare_v

gentile_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n with_o the_o gentile_n see_v act._n 13.42.44_o and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v out_o of_o the_o

for_o than_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o see_v here_o furthermore_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n to_o consider_v that_o athanasius_n do_v not_o only_a &_o bare_o avouch_v it_o that_o they_o then_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o moreover_o he_o do_v justify_v &_o defend_v their_o keep_n of_o it_o for_o whereas_o some_o may_v object_v unto_o he_o say_v but_o do_v your_o church_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n still_o why_o that_o be_v judaisme_n etc._n etc._n of_o this_o mind_n be_v the_o laodicean_n counsel_n that_o live_v not_o long_o after_o athanasius_n

of_o 60._o year_n after_o he_o for_o now_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n dare_v cale_fw-la it_o judaisme_n in_o
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

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

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

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

hereunto_o we_o must_v know_v that_o some_o check_n of_o conscience_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o do_v of_o something_o which_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v and_o for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v against_o these_o it_o be_v dangerous_a and_o sinful_a and_o a_o note_n of_o a_o hard_a heart_n again_o there_o be_v some_o check_n of_o conscience_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o do_v of_o something_o which_o we_o will_v not_o do_v and_o these_o be_v not_o always_o sinful_a but_o be_v note_n of_o a_o soft_a heart_n and_o tender_a conscience_n for_o they_o will_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n they_o do_v if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o amend_v they_o i_o will_v clear_v this_o case_n by_o some_o example_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o fly_v for_o his_o life_n his_o enemy_n pursue_v he_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o work_v in_o quench_v of_o a_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n nevertheless_o a_o soft_a heart_n and_o tender_a conscience_n will_v be_v full_a of_o pricking_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o flight_n and_o whilst_o he_o be_v at_o work_n now_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v not_o because_o these_o his_o action_n be_v sinefull_a but_o because_o he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v not_o do_v upon_o this_o day_n if_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v and_o because_o he_o neglect_v the_o special_a service_n of_o god_n all_o that_o time_n which_o he_o

that_o he_o must_v eat_v that_o which_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o eat_v and_o david_n when_o he_o spare_v the_o life_n of_o joab_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v take_v away_o it_o can_v not_o but_o be_v a_o corzive_n to_o his_o conscience_n so_o often_o as_o he_o see_v that_o murderer_n live_v and_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o observe_v those_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o circumcise_n &_o shave_v the_o head_n and_o the_o like_a they_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v abolish_v they_o can_v not_o but_o do_v it_o with_o check_v and_o unquiet_a conscience_n in_o some_o respect_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v not_o evil_a conscience_n nor_o these_o actiones_fw-la sin_n but_o they_o be_v mark_n of_o soften_a heart_n and_o tender_a conscience_n and_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o check_n in_o conscience_n which_o we_o can_v but_o have_v in_o some_o respect_n so_o often_o as_o we_o neglect_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n they_o be_v note_n of_o soft_a heart_n &_o tender_a conscience_n plain_o betray_v that_o we_o will_v much_o rather_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n furthermore_o whereas_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o you_o shall_v do_v in_o this_o case_n i_o answer_v even_o all_o you_o can_v do_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o your_o power_n to_o get_v out_o of_o this_o necessity_n that_o so_o you_o may_v have_v your_o

it_o be_v to_o make_v reformation_n and_o so_o to_o loosen_v thou_o from_o thy_o necessity_n of_o profane_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n any_o long_o indeed_o it_o be_v fit_a we_o shall_v have_v prick_v

never_o care_v what_o become_v of_o god_n sacred_a sabbath_n nor_o when_o a_o reformation_n be_v make_v object_n ii_o some_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o god_n sabbath_n and_o friend_n to_o the_o lord_n

case_n of_o necessity_n may_v keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o for_o a_o season_n until_o a_o time_n of_o reformation_n but_o this_o dispensation_n be_v not_o make_v at_o all_o for_o our_o new_a

at_o all_o of_o it_o in_o the_o dispensation_n it_o be_v allow_v for_o man_n to_o keep_v the_o new_a sabbath_n or_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o it_o for_o a_o

the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v for_o itself_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n that_o have_v all_o the_o respect_n and_o honour_n &_o the_o lord_n
