appoint_v of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o remembrancer_n unto_o we_o that_o jehovah_n the_o holy_a god_n be_v that_o fountain_n and_o author_n of_o our_o sanctification_n and_o holiness_n well_o

thus_o that_o the_o 4_o com_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o now_o in_o force_n as_o touch_v this_o special_a application_n only_o to_o the_o jewish_a state_n because_o the_o lord_n bring_v

about_o to_o prove_v the_o sabbath_n be_v in_o force_n now_o to_o we_o with_o relation_n to_o that_o reason_n of_o god_n bring_v israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n or_o to_o move_v christianes_n to_o

command_v any_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o the_o law_n as_o touch_v the_o motive_n be_v apply_v special_o to_o the_o jewish_a state_n yet_o the_o law_n as_o touch_v all_o thing_n command_v or_o forbid_v in_o it_o be_v universal_a to_o all_o nation_n thus_o have_v prove_v the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n to_o this_o day_n in_o next_o place_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o this_o sabbath_n have_v be_v practise_v and_o in_o use_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n both_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n after_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n and_o after_o also_o in_o the_o more_o primitive_a church_n for_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o do_v the_o rather_o produce_v it_o because_o the_o contrary_a side_n i_o see_v lean_a much_o upon_o their_o practice_n labour_v much_o though_o all_o in_o vain_a as_o have_v be_v show_v to_o prove_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n wherefore_o since_o apostle_n practise_v be_v with_o they_o of_o so_o great_a strength_n if_o i_o shall_v prove_v now_o that_o the_o apostle_n practise_v the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n i_o trust_v they_o will_v forth_o with_o yield_v that_o the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n be_v now_o in_o force_n &_o make_v no_o further_o question_v of_o the_o matter_n for_o this_o purpose_n look_v act._n 13.14.15.16_o act._n 13.42.44_o act._n 16.13_o here_o you_o see_v 3._o several_a sabbath_n and_o in_o two_o several_a place_n the_o apostle_n preach_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o see_v act._n 17.2_o paul_n as_o his_o manner_n be_v go_v in_o unto_o they_o and_o three_o sabbath_n day_n dispute_v with_o they_o by_o the_o scripture_n here_o you_o see_v in_o a_o other_o place_n and_o church_n three_o sabbath_n more_o keep_v by_o paul_n and_o those_o that_o travail_v with_o he_o nor_o be_v this_o any_o extraordenary_a thing_n for_o the_o text_n say_v it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n for_o paul_n so_o to_o do_v paul_n as_o his_o manner_n be_v &c._n &c._n

here_o be_v a_o constant_a practice_n sabbath_n by_o sabbath_n every_o sabbath_n day_n say_v the_o text_n and_o thus_o i_o trust_v i_o have_v more_o sound_o prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o constant_o and_o the_o same_o in_o soundery_a church_n than_o they_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o apostolical_a practice_n but_o so_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n let_v the_o indifferent_a reader_n judge_v now_o and_o let_v he_o choose_v to_o practice_v that_o day_n of_o the_o twain_o which_o he_o see_v most_o sound_o and_o plain_o prove_v before_o his_o eye_n practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n against_o this_o be_v sundry_a answer_n bring_v as_o 1._o true_o paul_n preach_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n among_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o they_o undertake_v indeed_o but_o never_o do_v nor_o ever_o will_v be_v able_a to_o prove_v the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n so_o in_o this_o point_n of_o apostle_n practice_v i_o have_v the_o better_a of_o they_o since_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v apostle_n constant_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n among_o nor_o jew_n nor_o gentile_n no_o nor_o jew_n and_o gentile_n mix_v second_o i_o produce_v a_o other_o text_n against_o their_o answer_n show_v the_o apostle_n preach_v among_o the_o gentile_n in_o which_o text_n be_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n for_o any_o such_o exception_n as_o to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n see_v act._n 16.12.13_o here_o paul_n and_o timothy_n preach_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o note_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o thing_n constrain_a they_o to_o preach_v rather_o on_o this_o then_o on_o any_o other_o day_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o 4_o comm_n they_o have_v be_v there_o as_o the_o text_n say_v certain_a day_n and_o of_o all_o thes_n day_n the_o sabbath_n
if_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n be_v superstitious_a in_o keep_v the_o 4_o com_n and_o forbid_v work_n of_o charity_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n be_v they_o not_o erroniouse_a too_o in_o expound_v and_o observe_v other_o of_o the_o commandment_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o our_o saviour_n christ_n the_o true_a expounder_n of_o the_o law_n he_o give_v leave_v even_o to_o the_o jew_n in_o his_o time_n before_o any_o ceremony_n be_v abolish_v to_o do_v work_n of_o charity_n and_o work_n of_o necessity_n even_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o to_o rub_v ear_n of_o corn_n to_o carry_v
