what_o god_n speak_v second_o what_o god_n do_v to_o find_v a_o institution_n first_o god_n himself_o speak_v of_o give_v of_o manna_n also_o of_o gather_v a_o certain_a rate_n every_o day_n and_o on_o the_o six_o day_n twice_o as_o much_o verse_n 4._o 5._o 23._o but_o in_o all_o this_o chapter_n god_n speak_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o word_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n nor_o do_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n first_o wrap_v it_o up_o among_o his_o commandment_n and_o law_n give_v before_o this_o time_n to_o they_o and_o their_o father_n so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o institute_v a_o

if_o god_n speak_v no_o word_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o what_o the_o people_n be_v to_o do_v in_o six_o day_n and_o especial_o on_o the_o six_o god_n pass_v by_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o where_o he_o speak_v of_o it_o implicit_o it_o be_v only_o by_o way_n of_o reproof_n to_o the_o people_n for_o transgress_v and_o break_v of_o it_o how_o can_v here_o be_v the_o

shall_v he_o have_v reprove_v they_o for_o a_o transgression_n and_o a_o sin_n whereof_o there_o be_v not_o law_n next_o let_v we_o see_v what_o god_n act_n be_v whether_o they_o will_v afford_v a_o institution_n first_o he_o give_v they_o the_o manna_n vers_fw-la 15._o but_o this_o blessing_n be_v only_o on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o

sabbath_n here_o in_o this_o time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o name_v the_o seven_o day_n three_o or_o or_o four_o time_n in_o this_o chapter_n which_o he_o say_v be_v the_o sabbath_n but_o not_o

why_o he_o approve_v the_o people_n act_n in_o gather_v on_o the_o six_o day_n two_o omers_n because_o the_o next_o day_n the_o morrow_n after_o be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a sabbath_n unto_o

nature_n to_o approve_v of_o the_o collection_n of_o a_o double_a rate_n of_o manna_n on_o the_o six_o day_n 2_o he_o name_v it_o again_o in_o verse_n 25._o but_o occasion_v by_o the_o manna_n which_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v eat_v the_o reserve_a manna_n for_o that_o none_o be_v to_o be_v find_v that_o day_n in_o the_o field_n because_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n on_o which_o they_o be_v to_o rest_v so_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o go_v and_o seek_v manna_n but_o to_o eat_v what_o be_v gather_v before_o but_o no_o institution_n of_o the_o day_n but_o a_o

on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v it_o they_o to_o gather_v but_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n there_o shall_v none_o be_v find_v which_o word_n

the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o some_o go_n forth_o to_o seek_v manna_n contrary_a to_o so_o much_o forewarn_v give_v by_o moses_n whereupon_o moses_n deal_v a_o little_a more_o roundly_o with_o they_o as_o a_o man_n have_v authority_n say_v see_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o the_o sabbath_n therefore_o he_o give_v you_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n abide_v you_o every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n let_v no_o man_n go_v out_o of_o his_o place_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o these_o word_n moses_n first_o command_v every_o man_n to_o abide_v within_o and_o that_o none_o shall_v go_v out_o to_o seek_v it_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n these_o be_v the_o only_a word_n of_o any_o command_n about_o the_o sabbath_n in_o this_o chapter_n which_o do_v not_o institute_v the_o day_n but_o serve_v only_o to_o prevent_v the_o people_n sin_v any_o more_o in_o go_v out_o to_o seek_v it_o as_o they_o have_v do_v second_o moses_n give_v two_o reason_n for_o his_o so_o strict_a a_o charge_n lay_v upon_o they_o which_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o see_v and_o consider_v of_o for_o the_o better_a restrain_v of_o themselves_o from_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o first_o be_v from_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o allow_v they_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n where_o out_o of_o these_o word_n let_v we_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o mention_v of_o the_o sabbath_n come_v only_o in_o still_o occasional_o concern_v the_o manna_n and_o not_o of_o purpose_n to_o institute_v a_o sabbath_n but_o whole_o in_o all_o the_o four_o place_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o either_o of_o gather_v the_o double_a rate_n of_o manna_n or_o of_o the_o eat_v the_o manna_n reserve_v or_o of_o gather_v manna_n on_o every_o of_o the_o six_o day_n or_o of_o tarry_v within_o and_o not_o to_o go_v out_o to_o seek_v it_o when_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o all_o this_o to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v keep_v more_o careful_o of_o the_o people_n as_o the_o event_n plain_o show_v for_o upon_o these_o consideration_n about_o the_o manna_n the_o people_n hearken_v to_o moses_n and_o do_v rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n verse_n 30._o the_o second_o thing_n wherewith_o i_o will_v
