Also the seventh day Sabbath, proved from the beginning, from the law, from the prophets, from Christ, from his apostles, to be a duty yet incumbent upon saints and sinners. / By a lover of peace with truth Edward Stennet.

together_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o do_v break_v bread_n and_o paul_n teach_v unto_o they_o act._n 20._o answ_n this_o be_v all_o the_o meeting_n or_o preach_v that_o ever_o

because_o when_o they_o come_v together_o paul_n preach_v with_o they_o and_o continue_v his_o speech_n until_o midnight_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a then_o that_o they_o observe_v the_o day_n and_o

lay_v such_o stress_n upon_o this_o text_n be_v because_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n which_o they_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n suppose_v it_o be_v so_o what_o do_v this_o make_v for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n more_o than_o christ_n first_o institute_v the_o supper_n upon_o the_o five_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o be_v general_o

seem_v to_o be_v such_o break_n of_o bread_n as_o the_o margin_n of_o some_o bibles_n refer_v unto_o act_v the_o 2.46_o they_o continue_v daily_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o

to_o be_v the_o supper_n it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o here_o shall_v be_v two_o sort_n of_o break_v of_o bread_n at_o one_o time_n by_o the_o same_o person_n and_o yet_o nothing_o speak_v

interpret_v general_a term_n by_o restrictive_a scripture_n for_o instance_n christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n we_o must_v understand_v it_o thus_o to_o every_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o nothing_o to_o be_v refuse_v now_o some_o be_v poison_n and_o be_v to_o be_v refuse_v but_o his_o meaning_n be_v every_o creature_n that_o be_v eatable_a be_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v refuse_v so_o here_o every_o day_n be_v alike_o that_o be_v every_o work_a day_n which_o god_n have_v make_v alike_o but_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o have_v sanctify_v and_o make_v it_o a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n and_o so_o not_o like_o the_o other_o and_o this_o interpretation_n be_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n exod._n 16.4_o behold_v i_o will_v rain_v bread_n from_o heaven_n for_o you_o and_o the_o people_n shall_v go_v out_o and_o

to_o gather_v and_o in_o our_o common_a speech_n it_o be_v so_o we_o call_v the_o six_o day_n every_o day_n man_n say_v we_o work_v every_o day_n or_o we_o travil_v so_o far_o every_o day_n when_o they_o mean_v only_o the_o six_o day_n that_o they_o count_v work_v day_n so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o they_o that_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n speak_v in_o the_o same_o language_n and_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o think_v otherwise_o for_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o we_o find_v before_o this_o that_o have_v any_o seem_a dislike_n against_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n

4.10_o 11._o answ_n this_o can_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o strike_v at_o the_o mere_a observation_n of_o day_n a_o thing_n of_o such_o dangerous_a consequence_n for_o he_o will_v
