let_v it_o reason_v up_o our_o faith_n for_o so_o indeed_o it_o shall_v and_o so_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n heretofore_o have_v do_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o trouble_n we_o must_v reason_v up_o our_o faith_n as_o thus_o it_o be_v â—â—me_n for_o thou_o o_o lord_n to_o work_v for_o man_n have_v almost_o destroy_v thy_o law_n yea_o the_o high_a time_n be_v come_v for_o thou_o to_o have_v

be_v very_o great_a to_o move_v god_n withal_o sure_o then_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n deliver_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n for_o they_o be_v very_o great_a for_o sin_n make_v a_o great_a

help_n to_o i_o to_o appoint_v it_o for_o that_o service_n upon_o that_o ground_n the_o second_o be_v dedication_n that_o be_v when_o i_o give_v a_o thing_n out_o of_o my_o own_o power_n thing_n for_o

may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o dedication_n he_o have_v devote_v give_v so_o much_o of_o his_o estate_n to_o that_o end_n so_o that_o he_o can_v make_v use_n of_o it_o himself_o to_o

alter_v it_o where_o it_o be_v from_o 9_o to_o 11_o we_o make_v it_o from_o two_o to_o four_o whereas_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v dedicate_v that_o be_v give_v out_o of_o our_o own_o power_n than_o it_o can_v be_v change_v by_o we_o that_o be_v a_o second_o degree_n this_o be_v not_o sanctify_v yet_o now_o sanctification_n be_v beyond_o dedication_n that_o be_v when_o any_o creature_n or_o time_n be_v so_o set_v apart_o for_o holy_a thing_n as_o it_o must_v not_o be_v use_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o that_o be_v holy_a thing_n and_o though_o the_o same_o holy_a

make_v use_n of_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a sanctification_n and_o the_o set_n apart_o of_o any_o day_n thus_o that_o be_v such_o a_o day_n god_n give_v to_o i_o to_o make_v use_n of_o for_o my_o occasion_n
thanksgiving_n beside_o yet_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n considerable_a that_o be_v in_o the_o state_v of_o the_o time_n though_o man_n may_v thus_o depute_v and_o appoint_v day_n to_o worship_n god_n yet_o they_o can_v state_n any_o such_o day_n but_o only_o as_o god_n providence_n call_v they_o to_o it_o according_a to_o the_o present_a occasion_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_o a_o sin_n if_o a_o state_n shall_v appoint_v once_o every_o year_n to_o be_v a_o fast_a day_n in_o a_o religious_a way_n god_n do_v so_o but_o man_n have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v so_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v but_o god_n may_v call_v they_o to_o rejoice_v upon_o that_o day_n they_o have_v not_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o time_n all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v be_v this_o when_o god_n call_v we_o to_o fast_v we_o must_v appoint_v day_n of_o fast_v when_o god_n call_v we_o to_o rejoice_v we_o must_v appoint_v day_n of_o rejoice_v therefore_o to_o appoint_v the_o time_n of_o lent_n as_o a_o religious_a fast_o be_v sinful_a and_o the_o statute_n itself_o threaten_v a_o mulct_n upon_o that_o man_n that_o shall_v call_v it_o a_o religious_a fast_o for_o civil_a end_n it_o may_v be_v but_o state_v fast_n which_o be_v not_o limit_v by_o providence_n be_v certain_o evil_a and_o so_o for_o these_o monthly_a fast_n that_o be_v now_o enjoin_v if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o will_v have_v a_o fast_o once_o a_o month_n upon_o this_o day_n these_o twelve_o month_n or_o these_o two_o year_n i_o persuade_v myself_o the_o state_n shall_v sin_v but_o to_o have_v it_o as_o long_o as_o god_n hand_n be_v upon_o we_o as_o long_o as_o the_o occasion_n last_v and_o god_n providence_n call_v we_o to_o it_o that_o be_v justifiable_a our_o brethren_n in_o scotland_n whole_o deny_v both_o state_v fast_n and_o all_o other_o day_n nay_o they_o will_v scarce_o agree_v to_o this_o monthly_a fast_v we_o have_v because_o they_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o yield_v to_o any_o stat_fw-la a_o jeiunia_fw-la and_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o speech_n king_n james_n once_o make_v in_o scotland_n blessing_n god_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o

it_o have_v pure_a doctrine_n have_v not_o pure_a discipline_n other_o reform_a church_n have_v pure_a doctrine_n and_o discipline_n but_o they_o retain_v the_o observation_n of_o many_o holy_a day_n but_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n have_v pure_a doctrine_n and_o discipline_n and_o keep_v no_o holy_a day_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o pure_a church_n than_o any_o in_o the_o

but_o from_o whence_o come_v the_o antiquity_n it_o come_v from_o hence_o because_o christian_n be_v new_o convert_v out_o of_o paganism_n they_o will_v keep_v as_o much_o as_o possible_o they_o may_v of_o the_o pagan_a custom_n only_o they_o will_v give_v they_o a_o turn_n turn_v they_o to_o christian_a solemnity_n but_o the_o rise_n be_v from_o their_o pagan_a custom_n therefore_o all_o the_o

this_o antiquity_n have_v you_o for_o celebrate_v of_o candlemas_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v for_o the_o argument_n of_o antiquity_n for_o the_o prelate_n o_o say_v some_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o

the_o pagan_n be_v here_o in_o england_n they_o have_v their_o flamen_n and_o their_o archflamin_n london_n be_v one_o and_o york_n be_v another_o and_o when_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o
