commandment_n also_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n now_o this_o commandment_n as_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o former_a make_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o make_v to_o back_o it_o and_o to_o support_v it_o for_o because_o god_n will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o sanctify_v his_o sabbath_n day_n and_o to_o rest_v therein_o from_o labour_n that_o so_o a_o vacancy_n may_v be_v for_o holy_a duty_n therefore_o have_v god_n add_v a_o other_o precept_n command_v we_o to_o do_v all_o the_o work_v we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o six_o day_n that_o so_o no_o work_n may_v be_v leave_v to_o do_v in_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n so_o then_o these_o two_o commandment_n to_o

further_n our_o saviour_n show_v wherein_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v have_v every_o jot_n &_o title_n of_o the_o law_n keep_v and_o this_o be_v two_o way_n the_o one_o by_o doctrine_n

a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o

the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o must_v we_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a take_v up_o a_o new_a account_n of_o time_n also_o we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o

must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o

sabbath_n then_o may_v be_v double_o consider_v of_o as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o magistrate_n as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o magistrate_n so_o i_o

find_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o be_v most_o false_a sect_n xviii_o thus_o we_o have_v answer_v to_o all_o their_o artificial_a argument_n &_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o their_o testimony_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v god_n blessing_n of_o this_o day_n &_o god_n curse_v of_o the_o profaner_n of_o it_o &_o first_o of_o the_o former_a say_v they_o

the_o day_n when_o they_o shall_v say_v god_n bless_v his_o ordinance_n in_o the_o day_n for_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o because_o god_n bless_v his_o ordinance_n do_v in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o therefore_o bless_v also_o the_o day_n &_o time_n wherein_o these_o ordinance_n be_v do_v no_o more_o than_o god_n bless_v the_o place_n wherein_o these_o ordinance_n be_v perform_v let_v i_o show_v you_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argue_v by_o the_o like_a case_n god_n blessing_n do_v usual_o accompany_v painful_a labour_n now_o suppose_v some_o profane_a tradesman_n shall_v work_v all_o day_n

day_n unto_o i_o for_o a_o work_a day_n &_o therefore_o here_o after_o i_o shall_v use_v it_o for_o a_o work_a day_n for_o god_n blessing_n upon_o my_o labour_n this_o day_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n approve_v my_o action_n &_o allow_v of_o it_o for_o a_o work_a day_n the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o god_n have_v curse_v the_o profaner_n of_o this_o lord_n day_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n approve_v of_o the_o day_n for_o we_o read_v in_o book_n set_v forth_o by_o some_o divin_n of_o many_o remarkable_a judgement_n of_o god_n which_o have_v befall_v the_o profaner_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o in_o controvercy_n about_o point_n of_o religion_n we_o must_v not_o prove_v thing_n by_o the_o argument_n of_o

the_o simple_a by_o this_o argument_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o palatinate_n his_o cause_n be_v naught_o and_o the_o emperor_n his_o cause_n be_v good_a because_o god_n cross_v the_o palatinate_n 2._o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v of_o the_o day_n from_o the_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n now_o we_o may_v impute_v those_o curse_n of_o god_n which_o
light_v upon_o man_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n unto_o their_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n of_o preach_v and_o prayer_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v that_o god_n

every_o body_n do_v serve_v god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o be_v ordinary_a contemner_n of_o god_n worship_n &_o service_n most_o just_o therefore_o may_v god_n plague_v they_o for_o

will_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o primitive_a church_n for_o he_o say_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o decree_n concern_v holy_a day_n of_o which_o number_n the_o

since_o we_o see_v they_o and_o say_v they_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o prove_v the_o point_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v this_o i_o suppose_v they_o that_o first_o set_v their_o

but_o miselike_v this_o they_o judge_v it_o better_o to_o have_v it_o stand_v by_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o have_v use_v their_o wit_n to_o wrest_v these_o scripture_n thitherwards_o so_o now_o they_o have_v father_v the_o matter_n all_o upon_o god_n and_o make_v this_o lord_n day_n a_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o get_v the_o more_o honour_n unto_o it_o this_o dare_v not_o s._n

for_o there_o the_o lord_n have_v express_o command_v we_o to_o work_v and_o labour_n upon_o the_o six_o day_n say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v &_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n exod._n 20.9_o wherefore_o we_o can_v both_o work_v upon_o these_o six_o day_n and_o also_o keep_v one_o of_o they_o weekly_o for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n therein_o rest_v from_o work_n this_o be_v impossible_a to_o work_v upon_o every_o one_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n &_o yet_o to_o rest_v from_o work_n upon_o some_o one_o of_o they_o nay_o further_o this_o be_v to_o make_v god_n to_o contradict_v himself_o and_o that_o in_o one_o &_o the_o same_o commandment_n if_o he_o shall_v by_o this_o four_o come_v enjoin_v man_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o 6_o day_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o shall_v enjoin_v man_n in_o the_o same_o commandment_n to_o rest_v from_o work_n in_o one_o of_o those_o 6_o day_n wherefore_o no_o day_n of_o these_o 6_o day_n can_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o god_n four_o come_v this_o be_v most_o plain_a unless_o you_o will_v suppose_v foolish_o that_o god_n shall_v say_v &_o unsay_v it_o again_o with_o the_o same_o breath_n wherefore_o since_o none_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n of_o the_o week_n can_v be_v sabbath_n day_n therefore_o the_o seven_o day_n only_o must_v be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n i_o can_v devise_v what_o evasione_n they_o shall_v find_v against_o this_o truth_n unless_o these_o two_o the_o one_o be_v this_o it_o be_v true_a may_n they_o say_v six_o day_n we_o must_v labour_v by_o the_o four_o come_v and_o do_v we_o not_o labour_v six_o day_n &_o they_o

therefore_o we_o may_v reject_v this_o their_o account_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v about_o god_n matter_n we_o must_v follow_v god_n account_n wherefore_o since_o this_o account_n to_o begin_v the_o

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

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

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

the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o
the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a rest_n the_o other_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n now_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n they_o hold_v the_o time_n a_o ceremony_n

if_o now_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o their_o performance_n of_o this_o holy_a rest_n upon_o a_o wrong_a day_n be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n duty_n nor_o the_o duty_n require_v by_o god_n in_o his_o four_o come_v than_o you_o will_v say_v with_o i_o that_o their_o abolish_n of_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o four_o come_v also_o for_o there_o be_v

therefore_o any_o long_o deceive_v himself_o by_o think_v he_o keep_v god_n rest_n when_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o conclude_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a rest_n we_o now_o keep_v

jewish_a and_o ceremonial_a for_o this_o law_n of_o kindle_v a_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o write_v elsewhere_o it_o may_v be_v question_v rather_o whether_o it_o be_v any_o branch_n of_o the_o four_o come_v or_o exposition_n of_o it_o or_o whither_o it_o be_v some_o special_a law_n peculiar_a unto_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o in_o those_o hot_a country_n they_o may_v better_o want_v a_o fire_n than_o we_o in_o cold_a rigione_n can_v and_o better_o feed_v on_o cold_a meat_n dress_v the_o day_n before_o than_o we_o in_o these_o cold_a country_n cane_n and_o so_o the_o moral_a law_n shall_v be_v maintain_v still_o in_o its_o integrity_n and_o perfection_n &_o why_o may_v not_o these_o particular_a law_n not_o be_v write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v adventitiouse_a and_o only_o add_v to_o the_o four_o come_v as_o peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n and_o those_o time_n &_o regiones_fw-la as_o be_v that_o reason_n prefix_v to_o all_o the_o 10._o come_v that_o god_n bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n which_o be_v also_o add_v to_o the_o four_o come_v deut._n 5.15_o and_o as_o be_v that_o law_n of_o offer_v ij_o lamb_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n numb_a 28.9.10_o thus_o than_o you_o have_v see_v their_o text_n for_o the_o prove_v of_o the_o jew_n rest_v to_o be_v full_a of_o intolerable_a strictness_n &_o rigour_n but_o you_o see_v how_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o matter_n wherefore_o i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o slander_n raise_v upon_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n to_o make_v man_n afraid_a of_o they_o and_o to_o loathe_v they_o for_o god_n require_v no_o more_o strictness_n of_o a_o jew_n then_o he_o do_v of_o a_o christian_a nor_o any_o less_o of_o a_o christian_a than_o he_o do_v of_o a_o jew_n the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v one_o &_o the_o same_o to_o jew_n &_o to_o gentile_a as_o be_v all_o the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n sect_n v._o have_v make_v answer_n unto_o their_o text_n whereby_o they_o will_v prove_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n partly_o ceremonial_a because_o rigorouse_a we_o be_v now_o to_o come_v unto_o their_o text_n whereby_o they_o will_v prove_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v to_o be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o so_o abolish_v but_o first_o this_o will_v be_v note_v that_o since_o they_o can_v prove_v the_o rest_n in_o the_o sabbath_n rigorouse_a and_o ceremonial_a now_o there_o be_v nothing_o command_v in_o all_o the_o 10_o commandment_n which_o they_o can_v except_v against_o but_o only_o the_o question_n itself_o betwixt_o we_o to_o wit_n the_o time_n &_o seven_o day_n now_o how_o they_o will_v disprove_v this_o you_o shall_v see_v their_o first_o text_n which_o i_o will_v produce_v be_v that_o mat._n 12.8_o for_o the_o soon_o of_o man_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n hence_o some_o argue_v thus_o that_o because_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n therefore_o he_o do_v alter_v &_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o admit_v the_o heir_n of_o a_o manor_n house_n because_o he_o be_v

it_o that_o christ_n as_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v destroy_v it_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o he_o do_v destroy_v it_o no_o the_o contrary_a rather_o follow_v that_o because_o christ_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n therefore_o he_o do_v and_o for_o ever_o will_v maintain_v &_o uphold_v the_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o lord_n to_o uphold_v their_o manor_n

an_o other_o evasion_n we_o meet_v withal_o and_o it_o be_v this_o let_v a_o man_n allege_v the_o four_o come_v for_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n and_o one_o answer_n shall_v be_v to_o this_o effect_n
