piece_n of_o a_o sermon_n i_o will_v deliver_v you_o my_o mind_n upon_o this_o controversy_n which_o now_o adays_o make_v voluminous_a dispute_n first_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o four_o commandment_n have_v another_o air_n and_o constitution_n in_o it_o than_o the_o other_o nine_o those_o nine_o be_v consonant_n to_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n so_o that_o they_o bind_v the_o conscience_n without_o a_o lawgiver_n this_o be_v neither_o principle_n or_o necessary_a conclusion_n of_o natural_a reason_n in_o such_o a_o clear_a manner_n as_o that_o a_o judicious_a man_n shall_v be_v force_v upon_o understand_v the_o term_n to_o yield_v assent_n unto_o it_o and_o i_o wonder_v that_o any_o one_o shall_v stumble_v so_o gross_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v natural_a law_n to_o keep_v every_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o last_o day_n or_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n holy_a when_o the_o distribution_n of_o time_n into_o week_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o not_o natural_a this_o commandment_n therefore_o have_v a_o composition_n in_o it_o diverse_a from_o the_o rest_n it_o have_v somewhat_o in_o it_o particular_a to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n and_o somewhat_o that_o bind_v the_o christian_a church_n for_o it_o do_v not_o stand_v for_o a_o cypher_n in_o the_o two_o table_n at_o this_o time_n as_o if_o the_o force_n of_o it_o be_v expire_v but_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o it_o which_o be_v moral_a and_o oblige_v mankind_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o enforcement_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o strict_a and_o sabbatical_a rest_n be_v out_o of_o date_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o pedagogical_a ordinance_n of_o moses_n but_o there_o be_v this_o kernel_n within_o the_o shell_n that_o holy_a assembly_n be_v for_o ever_o to_o be_v call_v together_o at_o fit_a and_o convenient_a time_n to_o praise_v the_o lord_n nay_o further_o reason_n and_o gratitude_n can_v imagine_v a_o more_o fit_a and_o convenient_a time_n than_o the_o constant_a solemnize_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n nay_o than_o the_o constant_a observation_n of_o this_o seven_o day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n therefore_o i_o determine_v that_o we_o ground_n the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n upon_o the_o four_o commandment_n not_o upon_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o for_o that_o be_v jewish_a but_o upon_o the_o natural_a equity_n or_o moral_a content_n of_o it_o we_o recede_v from_o the_o letter_n as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v for_o they_o rest_v and_o we_o work_v on_o their_o sabbath_n but_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o to_o work_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n can_v flow_v out_o of_o the_o same_o statute_n for_o the_o moral_a equity_n we_o give_v all_o diligence_n to_o obey_v it_o and_o he_o that_o reject_v the_o lord_n day_n or_o violate_v it_o transgress_v the_o four_o commandment_n because_o though_o neither_o that_o day_n there_o mention_v nor_o the_o determination_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v absolute_o command_v yet_o it_o be_v deduce_v out_o of_o it_o by_o consequence_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o have_v general_a and_o common_a rule_n for_o ecclesiastical_a order_n of_o time_n and_o place_n under_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o god_n give_v we_o the_o light_n of_o discretion_n to_o draw_v out_o special_a rule_n at_o what_o time_n in_o what_o place_n with_o what_o decorum_n and_o order_n to_o meet_v together_o and_o if_o the_o governance_n of_o this_o discretion_n be_v not_o observe_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v disobey_v the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v over_o his_o interest_n in_o our_o time_n but_o that_o we_o must_v allot_v some_o day_n and_o hour_n to_o his_o service_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o all_o our_o
