year_n as_o saturnus_n and_o so_o in_o the_o remnant_n we_o must_v observe_v four_o that_o albeit_o the_o roman_n with_o all_o europe_n do_v this_o day_n reckon_v the_o year_n after_o the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o do_v the_o hebrew_n make_v their_o account_n after_o the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o supputation_n their_o year_n lunary_n be_v short_a than_o we_o

of_o one_o day_n three_o if_o you_o will_v divide_v the_o 174._o month_n by_o 12._o you_o shall_v find_v 14._o year_n and_o 6._o month_n thus_o the_o number_n to_o be_v divide_v 174_o 6._o month_n

against_o the_o same_o frame_v brief_a pithy_a and_o evident_a solution_n thereunto_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o sabbatharies_n contend_v with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n that_o christian_n be_v no_o less_o bind_v this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n than_o be_v the_o israelite_n in_o time_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o 3_o because_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o which_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o declaration_n make_v by_o moses_n again_o because_o this_o sanctification_n be_v forthwith_o after_o the_o creation_n and_o therefore_o as_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n so_o must_v all_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n after_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n and_o upon_o which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o gentile_n then_o or_o christian_n now_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v it_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o ensample_n this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o offer_v up_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o do_v both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o deluge_n the_o second_o objection_n god_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o add_v 17_o for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v therefore_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o word_n ever_o be_v not_o take_v there_o simpliciter_fw-la but_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v it_o that_o be_v not_o for_o eternity_n or_o for_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o life_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n from_o moses_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v 1495._o year_n i_o say_v second_o that_o though_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o eternal_a as_o it_o be_v ceremonial_a which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o yet_o be_v it_o eternal_a in_o the_o thing_n signify_v

and_o meditation_n of_o god_n work_n be_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v still_o abide_v in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a and_o determinate_a sabbath_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o memory_n of_o our_o creation_n may_v be_v do_v as_o convenient_o upon_o another_o day_n as_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n thus_o my_o answer_n be_v confirm_v because_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o keep_v be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o the_o eight_o for_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o
