and_o his_o son_n alone_o but_o of_o the_o religious_a also_o of_o neighbour_a family_n as_o liban_n be_v say_v to_o call_v the_o man_n of_o the_o place_n to_o celebrate_v jacob_n marriage_n gen._n 2._o 9_o 22._o for_o before_o the_o second_o convention_n job_n be_v strip_v of_o his_o son_n 3._o i_o note_v that_o in_o these_o public-assembly_n job_n do_v not_o officiate_v as_o priest_n though_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o family_n for_o this_o second_o convention_n before_o the_o lord_n fall_v out_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o mourn_a make_v it_o very_o probable_a that_o he_o do_v not_o

take_v what_o be_v next_o at_o hand_n a_o potsherd_n to_o scrape_v himself_o withal_o so_o that_o satan_n find_v job_n not_o in_o the_o church-assembly_n but_o on_o the_o ashes-heap_n the_o usual_a posture_n of_o man_n deep_o touch_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o the_o sacred_a office_n in_o that_o and_o by_o consequence_n in_o other_o public_a assembly_n be_v

other_o state_v day_n for_o divine_a public_a worship_n save_o weekly_a and_o those_o weekly_a day_n institute_v by_o god_n himself_o what_o time_n for_o sacred_a convention_n can_v we_o imagine_v the_o son_n of_o god_n can_v pitch_v upon_o but_o that_o which_o their_o heavenly_a father_n have_v prescribe_v they_o by_o his_o example_n and_o precept_n 2._o have_v these_o day_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n their_o appearance_n before_o the_o lord_n not_o occur_v in_o a_o less_o space_n of_o time_n than_o either_o a_o year_n or_o a_o month_n it_o be_v very_o improbable_a that_o satan_n will_v have_v have_v so_o much_o patience_n at_o job_n patience_n as_o to_o have_v defer_v his_o make_v a_o address_n to_o god_n for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o his_o commission_n before_o this_o second_o church-assemble_o can_v that_o malicious_a adversary_n who_o have_v after_o the_o obtain_n of_o his_o first_o commission_n strip_v job_n naked_a in_o one_o day_n who_o finger_n do_v so_o itch_n to_o

every_o hour_n of_o that_o forbearance_n a_o great_a torment_n to_o satan_n than_o he_o can_v inflict_v upon_o job_n 3._o origen_n from_o this_o very_a text_n in_o his_o homily_n upon_o job_n chap._n

can_v name_v other_o difference_n the_o sacred_a scripture_n make_v betwixt_o the_o patriarchal_a and_o jewish_a sabbath_n but_o these_o already_o mention_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v rational_a man_n that_o the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v not_o the_o patriarchal_a sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o four_o precept_n i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v that_o the_o patriarch_n celebrate_v sunday_n for_o their_o weekly_a sabbath_n arg._n 1._o and_o here_o first_o i_o urge_v the_o premise_n if_o saturday_n be_v not_o the_o patriarchal_a sabbath_n either_o sunday_n must_v be_v it_o or_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o have_v be_v three_o several_a sabbath_n one_o of_o the_o patriarch_n before_o the_o law_n another_o of_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n and_o a_o three_o of_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n a_o consequence_n which_o a_o mahometan_a may_v perhaps_o not_o disgust_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v sound_v harsh_a in_o a_o christian_n ear._n arg._n 2._o there_o can_v no_o other_o justifiable_a account_n be_v give_v of_o christian_n celebrate_v sunday_n but_o this_o that_o the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o temporary_a and_o therefore_o to_o give_v place_n to_o that_o day_n that_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o begin_n by_o god_n example_n and_o precept_n give_v place_n i_o say_v to_o that_o at_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n without_o any_o new_a precept_n 1._o for_o if_o saturday-sabbath_n have_v be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o god_n rest_v and_o command_v adam_n to_o rest_v on_o and_o keep_v holy_a it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v unsanctified_a but_o by_o a_o precept_n as_o manifest_v and_o of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o that_o be_v whereby_o it_o be_v institute_v which_o i_o be_o confident_a can_v never_o be_v make_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o saturday_n to_o sunday_n and_o that_o which_o be_v allege_v for_o this_o come_v far_o short_a for_o what_o argumentative_a force_n can_v there_o be_v in_o christ_n rise_n his_o appear_v after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o celebrate_v religious_a assembly_n with_o his_o apostle_n ordinary_o on_o sunday_n in_o the_o apostle_n assemble_v on_o that_o day_n for_o religious_a worship_n what_o force_n i_o say_v can_v there_o be_v in_o all_o this_o for_o the_o unsanctify_a of_o saturday_n and_o give_v its_o crown_n to_o sunday_n comparable_a to_o the_o express_a command_n of_o god_n ground_v upon_o his_o own_o example_n to_o sanctify_v saturday_n nay_o what_o be_v man_n plead_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n upon_o supposition_n that_o saturday_n be_v god_n day_n of_o rest_n and_o command_v by_o he_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o a_o set_n up_o of_o their_o own_o conceit_n and_o miscollect_v conclusion_n that_o because_o saturday_n be_v institute_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o sunday_n be_v the_o day_n wherein_o christ_n perfect_v man_n redemption_n by_o his_o resurrection_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o saturday_n must_v give_v place_n to_o sunday_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o god_n express_a precept_n if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n intend_v in_o the_o four_o precept_n or_o gen._n 2._o 2._o but_o then_o i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o saturday-sabbatarians_a crow_n as_o if_o i_o adjudge_v the_o victory_n to_o they_o for_o upon_o the_o ground_n that_o i_o have_v lay_v the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v calculate_v particular_o to_o that_o nation_n and_o therefore_o temporary_a and_o ceremonial_a must_v with_o other_o mosaic_a ceremony_n be_v abrogate_a by_o christ_n death_n and_o give_v place_n to_o the_o ancient_a patriarchal_a sabbath_n on_o course_n without_o any_o new_a precept_n and_o here_o now_o our_o saviour_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a his_o frequent_a appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n on_o sunday_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a church_n come_v in_o seasonable_o

and_o strenuous_a second_o to_o prove_v the_o restauration_n of_o the_o ancient_a patriarchal_a sabbath_n by_o the_o antiquation_n of_o the_o judaic_a what_o great_a influence_n can_v our_o saviour_n rise_v on_o sunday_n have_v upon_o that_o day_n to_o the_o sanctify_v thereof_o than_o his_o suffering_n on_o friday_n or_o his_o ascension_n on_o thursday_n can_v have_v upon_o either_o of_o those_o day_n to_o sanctify_v either_o of_o they_o for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n 3._o but_o yet_o christ_n choose_v to_o rise_v on_o sunday_n because_o god_n have_v sanctify_v that_o day_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o his_o resurrection_n and_o the_o apostle_n celebrate_v church-assembly_n on_o that_o day_n though_o they_o be_v not_o of_o authority_n sufficient_a to_o appoint_v a_o new_a lord's-day_n yet_o they_o be_v safe_a guide_n to_o point_v we_o to_o that_o old_a patriarchal_a lord's-day_n whereon_o the_o lord_n rest_v and_o therefore_o command_v the_o patriarchal_a church_n catholic_n to_o sanctify_v it_o in_o conformity_n to_o and_o communion_n with_o which_o church_n extend_v to_o all_o age_n and_o place_n save_v judea_n which_o never_o be_v any_o other_o

of_o the_o patriarchal_a can_v not_o make_v that_o void_a any_o more_o than_o the_o mosaic_a law_n can_v vacate_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n before_o that_o law_n be_v give_v according_a

patriarch_n do_v celebrate_v the_o sunday-sabbath_n before_o the_o institution_n of_o saturday-sabbath_n may_v be_v prove_v if_o not_o demonstrate_v from_o scripture-instance_n it_o be_v indeed_o unreasonable_a to_o expect_v mathematical_a demonstration_n in_o this_o case_n see_v moses_n his_o history_n of_o the_o patriarchal_a religion_n be_v so_o exceed_v concise_a as_o his_o narrative_a
