day_n whereon_o god_n rest_v &_o profane_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n and_o give_v god_n the_o sunday_n sabbath_n as_o we_o do_v now_o for_o if_o they_o have_v reckon_v monday_n for_o the_o first_o day_n than_o sunday_n after_o will_v have_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n final_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v have_v not_o declare_v unto_o we_o which_o 6_o day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o this_o be_v false_a for_o god_n have_v plain_o discover_v it_o in_o his_o four_o come_v which_o be_v the_o 6_o day_n &_o that_o these_o way_n 1._o they_o be_v those_o 6_o day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o which_o god_n himself_o labour_v or_o wrought_v in_o to_o wit_n the_o first_o 6_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o the_o reason_n add_v to_o the_o come_v for_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n etc._n etc._n exod._n 20.11_o so_o god_n set_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n unto_o we_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v his_o ensample_n which_o be_v to_o work_v on_o those_o 6_o day_n wherein_o god_n himself_o wrought_v which_o point_n we_o have_v further_o prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o four_o come_v former_o 2._o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o in_o his_o four_o come_v by_o command_v we_o to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n on_o our_o saturday_n wherefore_o see_v we_o know_v which_o day_n be_v the_o rest_a day_n thereby_o we_o know_v which_o be_v the_o labour_a day_n for_o all_o the_o 6_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o sabbath_n day_n rest_v day_n or_o saturday_n those_o be_v the_o 6_o work_a day_n so_o you_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o idle_a cavil_n to_o raise_v doubt_n about_o the_o 6_o day_n which_o god_n appoint_v out_o for_o labour_n 3._o if_o we_o will_v not_o imitate_v god_n labour_v those_o very_a 6_o day_n wherein_o god_n wrought_v than_o we_o fale_v into_o these_o absurdety_n 1._o that_o as_o they_o begin_v &_o make_v monday_n the_o first_o so_o may_v i_o begin_v at_o tuesday_n for_o the_o first_o or_o thursday_n or_o friday_n or_o skip_v over_o 100_o or_o 10●0_n day_n before_o i_o set_v a_o first_o day_n and_o so_o god_n shall_v have_v a_o sabbath_n but_o once_o in_o a_o 100_o or_o 1000_o day_n 2._o to_o say_v the_o four_o come_v have_v not_o declare_v unto_o we_o which_o 6_o day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o since_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n one_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v have_v not_o declare_v by_o the_o word_n day_n whither_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o natural_a day_n or_o a_o artificial_a day_n or_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o day_n conci_v of_o many_o year_n as_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o one_o so_o for_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o their_o first_o evasion_n an_o other_o evasion_n they_o have_v &_o it_o be_v this_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v they_o be_v not_o a_o commandment_n but_o a_o permission_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v six_o day_n may_v thou_o labour_v if_o thou_o will_v hereunto_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o these_o word_n be_v a_o express_a commandment_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o for_o they_o be_v deliver_v in_o command_a term_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o this_o point_n i_o have_v former_o prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v therefore_o here_o i_o omit_v to_o repeat_v it_o 2._o admit_v that_o these_o word_n be_v but_o a_o permission_n yet_o so_o they_o will_v make_v enough_o for_o my_o purpose_n &_o that_o thus_o for_o if_o god_n do_v in_o his_o four_o come_v permit_v we_o and_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v in_o those_o 6_o day_n wherein_o himself_o wrought_v at_o the_o creation_n then_o can_v any_o wise_a man_n think_v that_o god_n will_v in_o the_o very_a same_o commandment_n forbid_v we_o to_o labour_v in_o some_o one_o of_o those_o 6_o day_n unlese_v you_o will_v think_v that_o god_n permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o a_o day_n and_o revoke_v his_o permission_n again_o and_o all_o under_o one_o breath_n wherefore_o see_v that_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v by_o his_o four_o come_v upon_o all_o those_o 6_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o our_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o sabbath_n day_n from_o the_o four_o come_v we_o must_v betake_v we_o to_o the_o seven_o day_n our_o saturday_n the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o that_o because_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o any_o day_n save_o the_o saturday_n thus_o much_o for_o my_o four_o argument_n argum_fw-la v._o my_o 5_o 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 to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o come_v or_o a_o part_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o 10_o commandment_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o enforce_v i_o have_v purposely_o frame_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o do_v so_o dote_v upon_o this_o fiction_n that_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o accident_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o other_o trivall_a thing_n they_o make_v of_o it_o but_o say_v they_o if_o it_o can_v be_v once_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o this_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n or_o of_o the_o four_o come_v then_o will_v we_o soon_o embrace_v it_o well_o they_o shall_v see_v it_o therefore_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n because_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n then_o of_o necessity_n the_o part_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v in_o force_n this_o follow_v necessary_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o logicianes_n posito_fw-la aut_fw-la remoto_fw-la toto_fw-la necesse_fw-la est_fw-la poni_fw-la vel_fw-la removeri_fw-la part_n but_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n as_o you_o may_v read_v rom._n 3.31_o rom_n 13.8.9.10_o yea_o the_o whole_a law_n be_v in_o force_n as_o you_o may_v see_v mat._n 5.18_o jam._n 2.10_o for_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n &_o yet_o fail_v in_o one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o therefore_o all_o the_o part_n or_o every_o part_n and_o persell_v of_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n in_o a_o word_n whosoever_o deni_v this_o mayor_n he_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o integrity_n &_o perfection_n of_o god_n law_n he_o must_v be_v partial_a in_o the_o law_n yea_o he_o must_v hold_v it_o jewish_a &_o judaisme_n for_o any_o to_o be_v entire_a &_o perfect_a in_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o have_v a_o indifferent_a &_o unpartial_a respect_n unto_o all_o the_o part_n of_o god_n law_n for_o whosoever_o be_v entire_a &_o perfect_a in_o his_o obedience_n to_o god_n law_n he_o will_v sanctify_v his_o sabbath_n as_o one_o part_n of_o his_o law_n which_o these_o man_n must_v account_v for_o judaisme_n &_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n &_o here_o i_o prove_v that_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v as_o well_o &_o as_o much_o command_v in_o the_o law_n as_o any_o other_o duty_n therein_o mention_v be_v for_o other_o duty_n be_v deliver_v but_o in_o command_a term_n &_o so_o be_v this_o for_o the_o lord_n say_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n where_o you_o see_v that_o god_n express_o mention_v the_o time_n &_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n &_o of_o this_o time_n and_o day_n he_o say_v in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n so_o that_o god_n have_v as_o well_o forbid_a man_n to_o labour_v &_o work_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o he_o have_v forbid_v man_n to_o kill_v to_o commit_v adultery_n or_o to_o steal_v and_o therefore_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o
himself_o rest_v on_o it_o genes_n 2.2.3_o but_o if_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n distinct_a it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o shall_v work_v sometime_o on_o that_o very_a day_n whereon_o god_n rest_v from_o work_n and_o which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a for_o a_o holy_a day_n 2._o the_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o which_o god_n draw_v from_o his_o own_o example_n be_v by_o way_n of_o similitude_n urge_v we_o to_o tread_v in_o god_n step_n to_o be_v imitatores_fw-la and_o follower_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o labour_v when_o god_n wrought_v and_o to_o rest_v when_o god_n rest_v now_o if_o we_o shall_v labour_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o slould_o we_o not_o be_v like_o but_o unlike_a to_o god_n for_o we_o shall_v work_n when_o god_n do_v rest_n so_o shall_v we_o not_o imitate_v god_n wherefore_o we_o must_v choose_v thes_n six_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n or_o sabbath_n 3._o it_o appear_v by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o jews_n until_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o jew_n now_o live_v at_o amsterdam_n and_o elsewhere_o that_o the_o four_o come_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o very_a six_o day_n which_o be_v the_o first_o in_o the_o world_n creation_n and_o which_o go_v before_o our_o saturday_n for_o the_o jew_v ever_o make_v and_o still_o do_v make_v these_o their_o six_z work_v day_n sunday_n monday_n tuesday_n wednsday_n tursday_n and_o friday_n yea_o since_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o proper_a name_n and_o a_o stand_a day_n by_o it_o the_o other_o six_o day_n may_v be_v know_v 4._o it_o appear_v by_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o every_o where_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n be_v call_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n mat._n 28.1_o mark_n 16.2_o now_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurtection_n be_v our_o sunday_n confess_v by_o all_o side_n so_o than_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o of_o those_o six_o day_n wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o labour_v by_o the_o come_v and_o friday_n then_o will_v be_v the_o last_o of_o our_o six_o labour_a day_n have_v thus_o fond_a out_o with_o day_n of_o the_o week_n we_o ought_v to_o labour_v in_o we_o come_v unto_o use_n of_o the_o point_n here_o i_o may_v incist_n by_o way_n of_o confutation_n of_o that_o error_n of_o mr._n greenwood_n who_o stiff_o defend_v it_o that_o these_o word_n in_o this_o four_o come_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v etc._n etc._n they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o four_o come_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o 8_o come_v as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o know_v how_o to_o place_v his_o commandment_n but_o have_v mingle_v some_o part_n of_o the_o second_o table_n with_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o first_o table_n and_o write_v some_o part_n of_o the_o 8_o com._n in_o the_o four_o com._n either_o god_n have_v misplace_v thing_n or_o mr._n greenwood_n have_v mistake_v thing_n but_o suppose_v no_o other_o divine_n will_v second_v he_o and_o that_o the_o bare_a mention_n of_o this_o absurdety_n be_v enough_o to_o confute_v it_o i_o pass_v on_o the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v for_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o error_n of_o many_o who_o be_v urge_v by_o the_o four_o com._n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n they_o answer_v that_o sunday_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o they_o for_o they_o labour_v the_o six_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o sunday_n to_o who_o i_o reply_v that_o albeit_o sunday_n be_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o god_n for_o that_o day_n which_o they_o count_v the_o seven_o day_n the_o same_o day_n god_n ever_o count_v for_o the_o first_o day_n our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o a_o divine_a account_n not_o the_o 7_o day_n &_o last_o as_o we_o have_v prove_v wherefore_o whosoever_o rekon_v sunday_n for_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o follow_v a_o unwarrantable_a and_o humane_a account_n and_o forsake_v the_o scripture_n account_n which_o call_v sunday_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n constant_o now_o in_o divine_a matter_n we_o must_v follow_v a_o divine_a account_n and_o in_o god_n matter_n we_o must_v take_v god_n account_n again_o whosoever_o rekon_v sunday_n for_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o rest_v on_o sunday_n he_o do_v not_o imitate_v god_n in_o rest_v when_o he_o rest_v and_o in_o work_v when_o he_o wrought_v according_a as_o be_v prescribe_v in_o the_o four_o comm_n but_o rather_o he_o cross_v and_o thwart_v god_n by_o rest_v when_o god_n wrought_v and_o work_v when_o god_n rest_v for_o on_o our_o sunday_n we_o rest_v but_o on_o our_o sunday_n god_n wrought_v in_o that_o he_o begin_v the_o first_o day_n work_n in_o the_o creation_n upon_o our_o sunday_n make_v the_o light_n on_o this_o day_n genes_n 1.4.5_o again_o we_o cross_a god_n on_o our_o saturday_n for_o in_o it_o we_o work_v but_o in_o it_o god_n rest_v yea_o this_o

for_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o these_o word_n remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o how_o will_v the_o patroness_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n rage_n and_o storm_n to_o hear_v any_o

will_v prove_v it_o furrh_a because_o some_o think_v that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n may_v as_o well_o be_v apply_v unto_o sunday_n as_o to_o saturday_n and_o so_o the_o four_o comm_n may_v hold_v its_o morality_n in_o bind_v unto_o sunday_n and_o first_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o translator_n both_o new_a and_o old_a look_v into_o all_o our_o english_a bibles_n both_o old_a and_o new_o translate_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o four_o come_v but_o also_o constant_o in_o all_o other_o place_n of_o scriptute_fw-la where_o be_v any_o mention_n of_o this_o name_n sabbath_n day_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o translate_n it_o not_o a_o sabbath_n but_o the_o sabbath_n which_o show_v clear_o that_o how_o ever_o the_o word_n may_v be_v render_v a_o sabbath_n yet_o that_o translation_n be_v not_o the_o best_a and_o therefore_o they_o have_v reject_v it_o and_o have_v unanimous_o translate_v it_o the_o sabbath_n neither_o be_v this_o do_v by_o any_o that_o favour_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o by_o those_o who_o rather_o favour_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v have_v make_v some_o way_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o translation_n if_o it_o can_v have_v be_v 2._o the_o lord_n have_v in_o the_o very_o come_v itself_o limit_v the_o sabbath_n unto_o a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n and_o that_o 1._o by_o its_o proper_a name_n sabbath_n day_n which_o belong_v proper_o unto_o our_o saturday_n not_o indefinite_o and_o in_o common_a to_o any_o day_n as_o

etc._n etc._n now_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o uncertain_a which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v but_o well_o know_v to_o be_v saturday_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n 3._o it_o be_v that_o very_a day_n which_o must_v be_v sanctify_v by_o man_n which_o god_n himself_o sanctify_v and_o set_v we_o for_o a_o pattern_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o we_o have_v it_o in_o the_o reason_n assizm_v to_o the_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o now_o the_o day_n which_o god_n rest_v on_o and_o the_o day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a be_v a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n see_v gen._n 2.3_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n not_o a_o seven_o day_n 3._o i_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o comm._n be_v a_o certain_a know_a day_n and_o not_o a_o uncertain_a day_n partly_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o moses_n exo._n 16.23_o where_o upon_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n v._o 22._o moses_n teld_v the_o people_n thus_o say_v to_o

moses_n can_v say_v of_o it_o the_o day_n before_o it_o come_v to_o morrow_n it_o shall_v be_v etc._n etc._n so_o much_o also_o may_v be_v collect_v out_o of_o luk._n 13.14_o and_o act._n 13.42.44_o final_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o divine_n who_o affirm_v that_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n which_o they_o keep_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v until_o christ_n come_v as_o else_o where_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v more_o large_o now_o if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o by_o the_o

prove_v undeniable_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n not_o a_o sabbath_n it_o be_v a_o day_n certain_a and_o not_o uncertain_a it_o be_v not_o

they_o do_v who_o by_o their_o false_a gloss_n and_o idle_a distinction_n do_v labour_n to_o make_v people_n believe_v that_o god_n certain_a and_o know_v time_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n

into_o the_o four_o come_v you_o have_v see_v it_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o thowsand_n of_o year_n until_o christ_n and_o that_o by_o the_o name_n

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

lord_n day_n it_o argue_v that_o these_o christian_n know_v not_o of_o any_o such_o new_a sabbath_n as_o now_o we_o know_v &_o keep_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n 2._o see_v it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o acquaint_v the_o church_n with_o the_o new_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o first_o opportunity_n as_o we_o see_v they_o baptize_v those_o that_o be_v but_o new_o

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 believe_a gentile_n their_o new_a sabbath_n day_n they_o may_v have_v take_v a_o fit_a occasion_n to_o have_v answer_v their_o suit_n thus_o what_o do_v you_o desire_v to_o hear_v the_o same_o

etc._n etc._n but_o to_o morrow_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o that_o be_v your_o sabbath_n day_n see_v you_o be_v christian_n assemble_v yourselves_o together_o therefore_o to_o morrow_n and_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 there_o have_v be_v any_o nay_o i_o can_v see_v how_o with_o discharge_n of_o their_o function_n they_o can_v have_v omit_v such_o a_o occasion_n beside_o as_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n may_v have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n here_o if_o they_o will_v for_o nothing_o hinder_v forasmuch_o as_o these_o gentile_n be_v suitor_n unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o preach_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v at_o the_o apostle_n liberty_n to_o appoint_v the_o day_n and_o time_n when_o and_o the_o soon_o the_o rather_o if_o therefore_o here_o be_v fit_a opportunity_n &_o also_o it_o be_v at_o the_o apostle_n

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

a_o three_o text_n against_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v josh_n 10.13_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sune_n abode_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaven_n &_o haste_v not_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

in_o their_o account_n rekone_v onward_o &_o saturday_n after_o it_o must_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o they_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n hinder_v not_o from_o the_o knowledge_n which_o 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 at_o jerusalem_n nor_o be_v it_o lik_o that_o we_o eat_v the_o self_n same_o kind_n of_o bread_n for_o we_o eat_v whitebread_n

which_o there_o be_v no_o seven_o day_n therefore_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n or_o first_o proposition_n many_o divine_n be_v of_o judgement_n that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v god_n &_o to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o worship_n &_o service_n as_o moral_n wherefore_o all_o such_o divine_n must_v approve_v of_o

with_o that_o which_o m._n perkins_n report_v say_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n but_o afterward_o it_o be_v

&_o they_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o be_v gatherable_a by_o this_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o the_o first_o emperor_n that_o establish_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v constantine_n the_o great_a as_o say_v hosp_n cap._n 9_o pag._n 27._o &_o this_o

they_o all_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n unless_o we_o shall_v uncharitable_o censure_v they_o to_o have_v live_v profanly_a without_o any_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o while_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v many_o church_n keep_v both_o sabbath_n together_o to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o now_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o some_o of_o the_o primitive_a church_n shall_v be_v so_o zealouse_a as_o to_o keep_v two_o day_n &_o other_o some_o so_o key_n can_v as_o to_o keep_v none_o at_o at_o all_o wherefore_o since_o these_o church_n keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n so_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o after_o christ_n

answer_v a_o doubt_n that_o may_v rise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o some_o that_o read_v these_o antiquity_n may_v they_o say_v what_o do_v the_o primitive_a church_n keep_v two_o sabbath_n day_n every_o week_n for_o it_o seem_v so_o because_o they_o keep_v both_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o answer_v hereto_o we_o must_v know_v that_o howbeit_o they_o keep_v two_o day_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o they_o keep_v they_o both_o for_o sabbath_n day_n rest_v from_o labour_n all_o day_n long_o according_a to_o the_o four_o come_v for_o 1._o this_o be_v more_o than_o ever_o god_n require_v in_o his_o moral_a law_n to_o rest_v two_o day_n in_o seven_o 2._o jgnatius_n put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o queen_n for_o he_o call_v as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o &_o by_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o queen_n of_o day_n hereby_o intimate_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereof_o he_o speak_v also_o in_o that_o place_n be_v the_o king_n of_o day_n 3._o the_o christianes_n against_o who_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n enact_v that_o law_n forspeak_v of_o they_o honour_v the_o sabbath_n day_n above_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o there_o we_o show_v 4._o many_o church_n of_o christianes_n they_o keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n at_o all_o for_o 300_o year_n together_o as_o we_o have_v show_v out_o of_o perkine_n 5._o in_o constantine_n time_n he_o give_v leave_v for_o man_n to_o go_v to_o plough_v and_o other_o work_n of_o husbandry_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o else_o where_o we_o have_v show_v by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a that_o the_o primitive_a curche_n though_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n yet_o they_o keep_v it_o not_o for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n or_o like_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o rather_o much_o like_a as_o we_o now_o keep_v a_o common_a holy_a day_n or_o a_o lecture_n day_n wherein_o we_o come_v to_o church_n &_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o whole_a day_n in_o a_o rest_n from_o labour_n &_o in_o conscience_n of_o the_o four_o come_v thus_o you_o see_v albeit_o they_o keep_v two_o day_n in_o a_o week_n yet_o but_o one_o only_o be_v keep_v for_o their_o sabbath_n the_o other_o be_v keep_v light_o and_o partial_o they_o keep_v these_o two_o day_n in_o a_o week_n then_o much_o like_a as_o we_o now_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o some_o light_a holy_a day_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o a_o eecture_n day_n when_o they_o fall_v both_o in_o one_o week_n 7._o my_o seven_o testimony_n

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
