observation_n second_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o order_n which_o i_o think_v you_o labour_n to_o maintain_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o sabbath_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o last_o and_o not_o the_o

which_o he_o require_v be_v changeable_a and_o be_v change_v now_o under_o the_o gospel_n from_o that_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o circumstance_n for_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o come_v but_o we_o as_o come_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n now_o since_o christ_n do_v not_o make_v void_v but_o establish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n where_o israel_n corporeal_a deliverance_n be_v now_o change_v into_o israel_n ghostly_a deliverance_n so_o in_o the_o five_o commandment_n the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v proper_o the_o land_n mean_v which_o have_v that_o promise_n belong_v to_o it_o but_o now_o it_o be_v enlarge_v to_o all_o that_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n obey_v that_o commandment_n throughout_o the_o world_n so_o this_o commandment_n have_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o creation_n occasional_o affix_v unto_o it_o because_o that_o then_o the_o creation_n be_v god_n great_a and_o eminent_a

then_o that_o and_o yet_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n remain_v unalterable_a which_o substance_n or_o unalterable_a part_n of_o the_o commandment_n consist_v in_o the_o number_n as_o

annex_v to_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n to_o be_v take_v away_o and_o bring_v under_o by_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o well_o then_o may_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o then_o

church_n they_o alter_v their_o gesture_n from_o stand_v to_o sit_v but_o still_o retain_v the_o passeover_n so_o we_o still_o retain_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n though_o we_o have_v alter_v the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o god_n example_n and_o now_o god_n have_v give_v we_o another_o example_n of_o another_o rest_n upon_o another_o day_n we_o imitate_v his_o

go_v together_o so_o they_o fare_v alike_o for_o the_o law_n be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n till_o christ_n come_v and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n on_o the_o last_o day_n who_o bâ—_n fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o one_o do_v inherit_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o other_o be_v annex_v thereunto_o and_o entail_v thereupon_o whereof_o man_n fail_v by_o his_o fall_n

of_o life_n and_o grace_n receive_v and_o so_o the_o last_o day_n sabbath_n to_o the_o first_o change_v rest_n by_o work_n into_o work_v by_o rest_n a_o happy_a change_n if_o we_o make_v not_o

the_o future_a for_o we_o be_v all_o our_o life_n long_o to_o do_v this_o and_o then_o to_o live_v now_o we_o hold_v by_o the_o tenure_n of_o faith_n and_o our_o happiness_n be_v in_o present_a for_o

precedent_n as_o a_o precept_n to_o regulate_v and_o invite_v his_o subsequent_a duty_n in_o the_o particular_a of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o see_v god_n have_v choose_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o

that_o adam_n shall_v keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o god_n rest_v on_o for_o though_o it_o be_v god_n seven_o day_n yet_o it_o be_v adam_n second_o day_n which_o be_v another_o reason_n to_o prove_v your_o probability_n for_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o god_n himself_o do_v first_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n that_o so_o he_o may_v by_o his_o example_n be_v reveal_v to_o that_o end_n
