early_o than_o these_o though_o i_o do_v not_o at_o present_a meet_v with_o it_o nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o make_v any_o great_a search_n about_o it_o i_o grant_v that_o when_o christianity_n be_v spread_v among_o the_o gentile_n and_o with_o it_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n they_o do_v in_o order_n to_o the_o observe_v that_o sabbath_n distinguish_v their_o time_n into_o week_n and_o thereupon_o give_v name_n to_o each_o day_n i_o grant_v also_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v before_o so_o distinguish_v their_o time_n but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o other_o nation_n do_v so_o if_o any_o think_v that_o all_o nation_n do_v so_o distinguish_v and_o every_o nation_n all_o the_o world_n over_o call_v the_o day_n by_o those_o name_n by_o which_o they_o be_v now_o call_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v but_o a_o presumption_n without_o proof_n but_o when_o ever_o those_o name_n be_v first_o take_v up_o i_o do_v not_o think_v they_o be_v take_v from_o the_o number_n of_o their_o god_n for_o then_o they_o must_v have_v have_v a_o great_a many_o more_o day_n in_o their_o week_n than_o seven_o if_o each_o of_o their_o god_n must_v have_v a_o peculiar_a day_n but_o from_o the_o number_n of_o the_o planet_n which_o be_v then_o reckon_v to_o be_v seven_o and_o in_o this_o order_n saturn_n jupiter_n mars_n sol_n venus_n mercury_n luna_n though_o we_o now_o know_v the_o planet_n to_o be_v more_o than_o seven_o for_o the_o satellite_n of_o jupiter_n and_o saturn_n be_v as_o much_o planet_n as_o our_o moon_n but_o be_v not_o then_o know_v nor_o be_v the_o seven_o planet_n always_o reckon_v in_o the_o same_o order_n but_o some_o have_v be_v think_v to_o be_v above_o the_o sun_n which_o before_o these_o name_n be_v give_v be_v account_v to_o be_v below_o it_o and_o therefore_o these_o name_n must_v be_v at_o least_o so_o late_o and_o certain_o not_o so_o old_a as_o iob_n time_n i_o take_v they_o not_o to_o be_v old_a than_o what_o be_v call_v the_o planetary_a hour_n but_o to_o take_v their_o rise_n from_o thence_o and_o the_o order_n of_o the_o name_n to_o be_v thence_o determine_v for_o have_v divide_v the_o day_n into_o 24_o hour_n begin_v with_o saturn_n the_o high_a of_o the_o planet_n they_o assign_v to_o he_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o one_o day_n which_o thence_o they_o call_v saturn_n day_n the_o second_o hour_n to_o jupiter_n the_o three_o to_o mars_n and_o so_o in_o order_n till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o eight_o hour_n which_o fall_v to_o saturn_n turn_n again_o and_o so_o again_o to_o the_o fifteen_o and_o the_o two_o and_o twenty_o and_o then_o the_o three_o and_o twenty_o to_o jupiter_n the_o four_o and_o twenty_o to_o mars_n and_o the_o next_o hour_n be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o next_o day_n to_o sol._n which_o day_n do_v thence_o take_v the_o name_n of_o sol_n or_o sunday_n next_o in_o order_n after_o saturn_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n proceed_v the_o eight_o fifteen_o and_o two_o and_o twenty_o hour_n of_o that_o day_n will_v fall_v again_o to_o sol_n the_o three_o and_o twenty_o to_o venus_n the_o four_o and_o twenty_o to_o mercury_n and_o then_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o the_o next_o day_n to_o luna_n thence_o call_v monday_n next_o after_o sunday_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o first_o hour_n of_o the_o follow_a day_n to_o mars_n of_o the_o next_o to_o mercury_n the_o next_o to_o jupiter_n the_o next_o to_o venus_n and_o then_o again_o to_o saturn_n and_o so_o onward_o as_o before_o and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a account_n of_o those_o name_n and_o in_o that_o order_n saturday_n sunday_n monday_n after_o which_o in_o the_o latin_a denomination_n follow_v the_o day_n of_o mars_n mercury_n jupiter_n and_o venus_n but_o some_o of_o our_o ancestor_n the_o saxon_n think_v fit_a as_o be_v suppose_v to_o put-in_a the_o name_n of_o twisco_n woden_n thor_n from_fw-mi some_o of_o their_o prince_n instead_o of_o mars_n mercury_n jupiter_n and_o venus_n as_o julius_n and_o augustus_n among_o the_o roman_n give_v their_o name_n to_o the_o month_n former_o call_v quintilis_n and_o sextilis_n from_o which_o saxon_n prince_n we_o have_v the_o name_n of_o tuesday_n wednesday_n thursday_n and_o friday_n the_o other_o day_n retain_v the_o name_n of_o their_o respective_a planet_n as_o they_o do_v before_o this_o account_n from_o the_o order_n of_o the_o planetary_a hour_n dio_n give_v we_o of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o weekday_n and_o of_o their_o order_n why_o so_o call_v and_o why_o in_o this_o order_n he_o tell_v we_o of_o another_o account_n from_o the_o principle_n of_o harmonic_n because_o dia-tessaron_a which_o we_o call_v a_o four_o be_v repute_a a_o concord_n in_o music_n therefore_o they_o may_v begin_v with_o saturn_n skip_v two_o jupiter_n and_o mars_n take_v the_o four_o sol_n then_o skip_v the_o two_o next_o venus_n and_o mercury_n take_v luna_n and_o then_o skip_v saturn_n and_o jupiter_n take_v mars_n then_o skip_v sol_n and_o venus_n take_v mercury_n then_o skip_v luna_n and_o saturn_n take_v jupiter_n then_o skip_v mars_n and_o sol_n take_v venus_n then_o skip_v mercury_n and_o luna_n take_v saturn_n and_o so_o onward_o as_o before_o but_o this_o account_n seem_v more_o force_v and_o the_o former_a more_o natural_a which_o therefore_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o this_o order_n but_o either_o way_n depend_v upon_o the_o order_n of_o the_o planet_n as_o they_o be_v then_o account_v when_o these_o name_n be_v give_v to_o the_o weekday_n it_o be_v at_o least_o so_o far_o evident_a that_o they_o can_v be_v old_a than_o since_o the_o planet_n be_v account_v to_o be_v place_v in_o this_o order_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o old_a as_o when_o venus_n or_o mercury_n or_o both_o of_o they_o be_v think_v to_o be_v above_o the_o sun_n for_o this_o will_v quite_o disturb_v the_o order_n and_o therefore_o certain_o not_o so_o old_a as_o iob_n time_n whether_o on_o each_o of_o these_o day_n they_o do_v worship_v those_o respective_a planet_n as_o so_o many_o god_n i_o can_v say_v nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o each_o of_o those_o planet_n have_v any_o more_o government_n of_o their_o respective_a hour_n or_o day_n than_o of_o other_o for_o i_o take_v the_o whole_a foundation_n as_o well_o of_o these_o as_o of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o judicial_a

to_o we_o now_o as_o it_o do_v then_o to_o israel_n i_o can_v assent_v to_o it_o for_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o all_o we_o who_o be_v under_o that_o law_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v we_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n or_o that_o we_o be_v to_o expect_v long_a life_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o he_o give_v them_o if_o he_o say_v that_o our_o deliverance_n from_o spiritual_a bondage_n be_v equivalent_a to_o they_o from_o egypt_n and_o our_o land_n the_o same_o to_o we_o as_o canaan_n be_v to_o they_o i_o grant_v it_o but_o so_o be_v our_o lord_n day_n equivalent_a to_o their_o seventh-day-sabbath_n and_o christ_n the_o true_a manna_n more_o than_o equivalent_a to_o that_o of_o they_o from_o the_o rain_v of_o which_o they_o

to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n 38_o year_n after_o christ_n resurrection_n perhaps_o it_o may_v for_o the_o obstinate_a jew_n who_o will_v not_o in_o their_o day_n understand_v the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o their_o peace_n but_o reject_v christ_n do_v no_o doubt_n continue_v to_o observe_v their_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v so_o to_o do_v and_o it_o will_v then_o be_v as_o great_a a_o affliction_n to_o they_o as_o if_o their_o sabbath_n be_v yet_o in_o force_n but_o no_o more_o a_o sin_n to_o fly_v on_o that_o day_n than_o to_o fly_v in_o the_o winter_n it_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o christian_n if_o put_v to_o flight_n on_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n for_o the_o case_n will_v be_v the_o like_a of_o both_o and_o they_o may_v as_o well_o pray_v against_o it_o that_o be_v against_o their_o flight_n on_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n as_o the_o jew_n on_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n this_o therefore_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n he_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v from_o hence_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o labour_v in_o winter_n as_o on_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n he_o have_v many_o other_o little_a

think_v to_o like_v the_o word_n but_o because_o he_o think_v it_o a_o reproach_n if_o he_o do_v not_o like_o that_o name_n he_o may_v call_v it_o as_o we_o do_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o if_o he_o think_v these_o too_o good_a name_n for_o it_o he_o may_v call_v it_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o why_o not_o as_o angry_a with_o the_o monday_n or_o other_o of_o the_o week_n day_n if_o on_o monday_n the_o heathen_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o think_v do_v worship_v the_o moon_n as_o the_o sun_n on_o sunday_n why_o be_v he_o not_o as_o angry_a with_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o idolatry_n to_o worship_v the_o moon_n on_o monday_n as_o the_o sun_n on_o sunday_n true_a but_o that_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o christian_n sabbath_n which_o be_v what_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o reproach_n and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v little_a of_o the_o other_o and_o but_o seldom_o but_o sunday_n be_v to_o be_v snub_v upon_o every_o occasion_n he_o will_v not_o have_v a_o sabbath_n upon_o sunday_n because_o he_o say_v on_o that_o day_n they_o worship_v the_o sun_n but_o why_o upon_o saturday_n if_o on_o that_o day_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o think_v

the_o sun_n more_o upon_o sunday_n than_o they_o do_v upon_o monday_n or_o tuesday_n be_v more_o than_o i_o know_v or_o he_o can_v prove_v he_o tell_v we_o verstegan_n say_v that_o the_o heathen_a

the_o heathen_a suxons_n be_v too_o late_o for_o his_o purpose_n he_o tell_v we_o p._n 88_o the_o heathen_a nation_n long_o before_o christ_n birth_n do_v offer_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o sun_n and_o
