therefore_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v make_v of_o god_n to_o be_v both_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n if_o

of_o his_o public_a worship_n arbitrary_a there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o for_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v make_v as_o much_o alteration_n

to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n without_o any_o intermission_n or_o loss_n of_o time_n the_o order_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o table_n lie_v thus_o 1_o the_o first_o

we_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n both_o public_o and_o private_o and_o with_o outward_a reverence_n as_o well_o as_o inward_a 4_o the_o four_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v we_o to_o

therefore_o as_o christ_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n have_v accomplish_v that_o work_n of_o break_v the_o devil_n headplot_n by_o his_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n the_o seven_o day_n in_o

worship_n may_v be_v continue_v but_o by_o translate_n the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o next_o day_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v only_o god_n shall_v still_o have_v the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n for_o his_o public_a worship_n without_o interruption_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n only_o the_o twofold_a manner_n of_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n do_v attain_v its_o several_a end_n 2_o let_v it_o be_v a_o little_a further_o inquire_v into_o to_o what_o end_n do_v god_n command_v all_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o the_o second_o command_n and_o to_o what_o end_n do_v he_o command_v all_o his_o public_a worship_n to_o be_v reverent_o perform_v in_o the_o three_o command_n if_o the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o the_o four_o command_n be_v whole_o obliturate_v 3_o consider_v that_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o all_o his_o public_a worship_n must_v be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o see_v he_o do_v require_v that_o the_o mean_a

decent_o and_o in_o order_n and_o that_o can_v be_v without_o some_o public_a day_n be_v uniform_a but_o if_o christ_n jesus_n have_v leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n abitrary_a to_o his_o particular_a church_n they_o will_v hardly_o agree_v upon_o a_o way_n of_o decency_n especial_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o solemnity_n of_o time_n doubtless_o they_o will_v appoint_v several_a

yet_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o consequence_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v glory_n of_o their_o willing_a mind_n to_o they_o of_o macedonia_n say_v that_o
