take_v this_o occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o distinction_n of_o day_n fetch_v from_o thence_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o reason_n 3_o the_o day_n be_v ordinary_o distinguish_v into_o a_o natural_a day_n and_o a_o artificial_a day_n the_o natural_a day_n be_v compose_v of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n which_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o daily_a circuit_n of_o the_o sun_n arise_v go_v down_o

commodity_n to_o man_n to_o go_v forth_o to_o their_o labour_n and_o to_o work_v in_o their_o art_n profession_n and_o trade_n the_o natural_a day_n although_o among_o all_o people_n it_o be_v compose_v of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n yet_o it_o vary_v in_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n thereof_o for_o some_o take_v the_o beginning_n thereof_o at_o mid_n day_n and_o count_v the_o continuance_n thereof_o till_o the_o next_o mid_n day_n other_o from_o midde-night_n till_o the_o next_o mid_n night_n some_o from_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n till_o his_o

the_o distinction_n of_o the_o day_n in_o artificial_a and_o natural_a a_o three_o member_n to_o wit_n the_o civil_a day_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o natural_a day_n in_o regard_n of_o

make_v the_o darkness_n to_o go_v before_o the_o light_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n ver_fw-la 1_o and_o 2._o 5_o some_o do_v reply_n that_o moses_n when_o he_o

light_n in_o the_o same_o day_n from_o the_o dawn_n till_o mid_n day_n or_o the_o afore_o noon_n this_o reply_n be_v not_o ground_v on_o reason_n for_o if_o that_o be_v true_a moses_n have_v not_o

before_o the_o night_n because_o he_o have_v not_o regard_v there_o to_o any_o natural_a dependence_n and_o follow_v of_o the_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o but_o only_o to_o the_o order_n of_o dignity_n whereby_o the_o day_n be_v first_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o night_n but_o when_o he_o say_v without_o vary_v in_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n so_o be_v the_o evening_n so_o be_v the_o morning_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o creation_n wherein_o darkness_n be_v first_o in_o time_n before_o the_o light_n and_o the_o night_n go_v before_o the_o day_n and_o that_o so_o by_o the_o evening_n he_o understand_v the_o night_n which_o be_v foremost_a and_o by_o the_o morning_n the_o day_n that_o follow_v which_o evening_n and_o morning_n make_v one_o natural_a day_n 6_o now_o as_o in_o the_o creation_n god_n observe_v this_o order_n to_o make_v the_o night_n go_v before_o the_o day_n and_o to_o compare_v the_o natural_a day_n of_o the_o darkness_n and_o of_o the_o light_n even_o so_o he_o prescribe_v the_o same_o observation_n to_o the_o jew_n command_v they_o to_o begin_v their_o natural_a day_n by_o the_o night_n and_o to_o celebrate_v their_o sabbath_n or_o solemn_a day_n of_o rest_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o such_o a_o night_n till_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o next_o night_n this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o 23._o chapter_n of_o leviticus_n vers_fw-la 32._o where_o god_n command_v they_o that_o in_o the_o nine_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n at_o even_o from_o even_o unto_o even_o they_o shall_v

three_o reason_n for_o the_o morality_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n from_o the_o knowledge_n the_o patriarch_n have_v of_o the_o distinction_n of_o week_n and_o the_o use_n they_o make_v

and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o thence_o that_o the_o patriarch_n do_v not_o celebrate_v the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o they_o have_v learn_v of_o their_o father_n and_o teach_v their_o child_n by_o tradition_n 8._o although_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o solemn_a and_o stint_a day_n and_o special_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o that_o use_n 1_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o patriarch_n and_o other_o faithful_a which_o be_v before_o the_o law_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n some_o take_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o distinction_n of_o week_n which_o be_v pretend_v to_o have_v be_v usual_a in_o their_o time_n to_o this_o purpose_n they_o allege_v the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n ver_fw-la 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o noah_n have_v send_v forth_o a_o dove_n to_o know_v if_o the_o water_n be_v abate_v from_o of_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o pigeon_n return_v

time_n whence_o they_o will_v fain_o infer_v that_o noah_n observe_v week_n and_o in_o they_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o allege_v likewise_o out_o of_o the_o 29._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n ver_fw-la 27._o that_o jacob_n complain_v of_o laban_n who_o have_v beguile_v he_o giving_z him_z leah_n instead_o of_o rachel_n for_o who_o he_o have_v serve_v seven_o year_n laban_n answer_v fulfil_v her_o

if_o the_o patriarch_n before_o the_o law_n observe_v not_o the_o distinction_n of_o week_n and_o in_o they_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o observe_v and_o solemnize_v not_o also_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o god_n perform_v in_o six_o day_n and_o of_o his_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n 2_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o although_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v a_o regular_a distinction_n of_o week_n it_o shall_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n particular_o and_o make_v of_o it_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n and_o of_o exercise_n of_o religion_n for_o they_o may_v have_v keep_v that_o distinction_n simple_o as_o a_o distinction_n of_o time_n as_o they_o do_v of_o month_n and_o of_o year_n without_o tie_v unto_o it_o any_o rule_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n no_o more_o than_o to_o these_o other_o 3_o but_o second_o i_o say_v that_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o before_o the_o law_n they_o observe_v the_o foresay_a distinction_n we_o find_v in_o the_o history_n of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o have_v observe_v distinction_n of_o day_n of_o month_n of_o year_n of_o which_o time_n express_v mention_n be_v there_o make_v as_o also_o the_o distinction_n of_o these_o time_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o two_o great_a heavenly_a light_n to_o wit_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n which_o god_n create_v purposely_o to_o be_v for_o sign_n and_o for_o season_n and_o for_o day_n and_o year_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o genesis_n first_o chapter_n verse_n 14._o whereof_o the_o patriarch_n be_v well_o

of_o week_n before_o the_o law_n the_o passage_n allege_v to_o demonstrate_v it_o be_v too_o feeble_a for_o that_o purpose_n 4_o to_o the_o first_o of_o the_o eight_o of_o genesis_n i_o say_v that_o the_o argument_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o it_o consist_v only_o in_o a_o simple_a and_o uncertain_a conjecture_n indeed_o noah_n twice_o or_o thrice_o one_o seven_o day_n after_o another_o do_v let_v out_o the_o pigeon_n or_o as_o the_o text_n say_v after_o he_o have_v stay_v seven_o day_n but_o the_o history_n tell_v we_o not_o what_o reason_n he_o have_v to_o observe_v after_o that_o

in_o case_n it_o be_v on_o each_o seven_o day_n that_o he_o send_v out_o the_o dove_n it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o it_o be_v precise_o on_o the_o last_o or_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o apostle_n 4._o first_o answer_n in_o that_o place_n the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o direct_o of_o any_o rest_n ordain_v to_o man_n but_o only_o of_o god_n rest_n 5._o second_o answer_n

answer_v to_o the_o second_o argument_n show_v by_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o there_o be_v no_o equivocation_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o although_o the_o

against_o the_o incredulous_a israelite_n in_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n that_o the_o psalmist_n adapt_v it_o also_o to_o the_o jew_n of_o

of_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n that_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n cite_v that_o threat_n as_o apply_v by_o the_o psalmist_n to_o his_o time_n observe_v that_o god_n at_o that_o time_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a i_o have_v swear_v in_o my_o wrath_n if_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o my_o rest_n although_o his_o work_n be_v finish_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o he_o speak_v

be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o threat_n denounce_v in_o david_n time_n against_o the_o israelite_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o god_n rest_n because_o man_n be_v
