that_o he_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a on_o frydaye_n night_n be_v the_o preparation_n to_o the_o great_a sabbath_n which_o follow_v 2._o that_o the_o woman_n who_o rest_v and_o come_v not_o to_o

of_o the_o week_n where_o first_o we_o shall_v sum_v up_o what_o be_v moral_a in_o this_o command_n and_o then_o second_o by_o some_o proposition_n clear_v
lord_n day_n stand_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o command_n and_o whether_o thereby_o the_o same_o sanctification_n be_v require_v as_o to_o it_o though_o its_o institution_n arise_v from_o another_o

we_o speak_v of_o its_o meaning_n because_o all_o depend_v on_o this_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o exposition_n and_o practice_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o moral_a and_o perpetual_o bind_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a either_o to_o explicate_v it_o or_o to_o study_v and_o press_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v moral_a than_o no_o doubt_n it_o concern_v we_o and_o require_v the_o same_o moral_a sanctification_n of_o a_o day_n now_o as_o it_o do_v before_o our_o assertion_n then_o in_o reference_n to_o this_o be_v that_o the_o duty_n of_o set_v apart_o and_o sanctify_v of_o a_o portion_n of_o time_n as_o it_o be_v limit_v in_o the_o four_o command_n for_o god_n service_n as_o it_o recur_v be_v moral_a and_o the_o obligation_n thereunto_o perpetual_a even_o as_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o other_o command_v the_o obligation_n to_o this_o be_v no_o more_o dissolve_v than_o to_o those_o though_o there_o may_v be_v difference_n in_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o obligation_n which_o they_o lie_v on_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n contain_v in_o they_o my_o meaning_n in_o a_o word_n be_v that_o a_o day_n or_o one_o of_o seven_o be_v as_o

clear_v of_o this_o consider_v 1._o that_o we_o mean_v not_o here_o moral-natural_a as_o if_o without_o any_o positive_a law_n such_o a_o thing_n have_v be_v bind_v no_o but_o moral-positive_a that_o be_v lay_v on_o by_o a_o command_n which_o be_v stand_v unrepealed_a and_o so_o bind_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n as_o several_a other_o command_n and_o precept_n do_v as_o namely_o those_o concern_v sacrament_n belong_v to_o the_o second_o command_n and_o those_o concern_v one_o wife_n and_o forbid_a desire_n of_o marriage_n belong_v to_o the_o seven_o which_o be_v so_o often_o break_v by_o many_o saint_n and_o dispense_v with_o in_o some_o case_n can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v morally-natural_a since_o the_o lord_n dispense_v not_o so_o in_o these_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v think_v in_o reason_n that_o his_o servant_n will_v have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o such_o a_o natural_a thing_n it_o be_v then_o moral-positive_a that_o we_o mean_v to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v bind_v by_o a_o positive_a law_n 2._o consider_v in_o this_o question_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o to_o say_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n which_o the_o jew_n keep_v be_v moral_a and_o to_o say_v the_o four_o command_n be_v moral_a the_o one_o may_v be_v and_o be_v abolish_v because_o another_o be_v bring_v in_o its_o room_n the_o other_o to_o wit_n the_o command_n may_v stand_v and_o do_v stand_v because_o it_o tie_v moral_o to_o a_o seven_o day_n but_o suc_n â—_o a_o seven_o day_n as_o the_o lord_n shall_v successive_o discover_v to_o be_v
