to_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o passover_n upon_o the_o lordsday_n and_o so_o the_o weekly_a holy_a rest_n upon_o that_o day_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n imply_v that_o rome_n herself_o observe_v the_o passover_n lordsday_n before_o she_o do_v the_o weekly_a whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o rome_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o it_o be_v the_o

that_o day_n do_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n require_v easter_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o not_o ordain_v easter_n firstday_n as_o a_o shooe-horn_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o weekly_a first_o day_n after_o

be_v weekly_o observe_v by_o they_o before_o easter_n be_v keep_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o yearly_a first_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o usherer_n in_o of_o that_o weekday_n which_o be_v before_o it_o sect_n xxi_o as_o the_o conclusion_n and_o result_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n that_o

the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o our_o lord_n christ_n indeed_o observe_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o antecedent_n law_n of_o all_o the_o

unto_o these_o censurer_n the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n and_o then_o immediate_o add_v this_o sentence_n with_o a_o illative_a therefore_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n also_o of_o the_o sabbath_n i_o suppose_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o first_o verse_n be_v mean_v of_o ordinary_a i_o mean_v mere_a man_n for_o it_o be_v bring_v by_o our_o lord_n christ_n as_o a_o vindication_n of_o his_o disciple_n action_n who_o be_v mere_a man_n and_o not_o of_o any_o one_o of_o his_o own_o who_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man._n withal_o i_o believe_v that_o we_o can_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o appellative_a man_n thus_o abstract_o and_o absolute_o use_v without_o any_o distinction_n or_o limitation_n antecedent_n or_o consequent_a to_o it_o understand_v of_o any_o but_o of_o mere_a man_n which_o be_v grant_v the_o illative_a therefore_o seem_v to_o carry_v the_o next_o sentence_n for_o the_o same_o subject_a and_o to_o declare_v that_o man_n common_a man_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n not_o a_o authoritative_a lord_n to_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o he_o please_v and_o do_v on_o it_o as_o he_o list_v but_o so_o far_o a_o lord_n as_o to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o who_o profit_n and_o comfort_v it_o be_v ordain_v as_o a_o son_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v lord_n of_o that_o house_n that_o be_v build_v for_o he_o and_o in_o which_o he_o dwell_v and_o use_v for_o his_o convenience_n and_o delight_n though_o his_o father_n oblige_v he_o not_o to_o sell_v or_o alienate_v it_o and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n not_o to_o burn_v it_o though_o therefore_o this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v no_o way_n heterodox_n nor_o any_o way_n strain_v from_o this_o text_n neither_o do_v we_o by_o this_o interpretation_n give_v a_o mere_a man_n a_o lordship_n over_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o he_o suppose_v for_o his_o take_n for_o grant_v that_o the_o last-day-sabbath_n be_v moral_a i_o look_v upon_o as_o his_o fundamental_a error_n and_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o his_o mistake_v confidence_n in_o all_o this_o discourse_n we_o say_v that_o in_o no_o respect_n man_n be_v lord_n over_o any_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n not_o in_o this_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o for_o man_n be_v make_v for_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o be_v to_o perform_v all_o the_o duty_n thereof_o but_o now_o man_n be_v lord_n over_o the_o sabbath_n as_o our_o lord_n avouch_v in_o this_o respect_n viz._n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o he_o and_o therefore_o can_v be_v moral_a as_o before_o but_o yet_o i_o say_v let_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v speak_v precise_o of_o our_o lord_n christ_n likewise_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o text_n be_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n and_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o be_v such_o a_o son_n of_o man_n as_o be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n we_o shall_v have_v observe_v before_o to_o evacuate_v all_o his_o proof_n draw_v from_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n here_o speak_v of_o that_o he_o who_o be_v here_o call_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o he_o be_v not_o then_o wherefore_o be_v such_o a_o one_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n without_o limitation_n and_o so_o have_v power_n to_o alter_v and_o change_v the_o day_n which_o be_v no_o way_n moral_a i_o mean_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o all_o and_o so_o to_o make_v that_o to_o be_v lawful_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o before_o be_v not_o even_o all_o sort_n of_o honest_a employment_n of_o our_o particular_a calling_n as_o well_o as_o charitable_a action_n for_o when_o the_o day_n cease_v to_o be_v holy_a and_o another_o advance_v to_o that_o honour_n by_o his_o authority_n then_o be_v a_o common_a day_n common_a work_n be_v proper_a for_o it_o which_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a intention_n of_o this_o expression_n to_o the_o jew_n for_o when_o they_o blame_v he_o as_o a_o tolerator_n of_o the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o his_o disciple_n he_o take_v a_o double_a medium_fw-la to_o refute_v their_o slander_n the_o one_o as_o a_o doctor_n and_o prophet_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o he_o teach_v they_o that_o that_o charitable_a action_n of_o they_o towards_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v no_o breach_n

do_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v no_o other_o design_n but_o to_o vindicate_v his_o disciple_n this_o have_v be_v abundant_o enough_o and_o he_o need_v not_o to_o recur_v to_o his_o own_o authority_n over_o that_o day_n which_o he_o do_v and_o so_o use_v another_o medium_fw-la as_o a_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o institution_n and_o particular_o of_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n for_o which_o they_o be_v as_o zealous_a as_o the_o author_n as_o necessary_a and_o permanent_a and_o say_v he_o himself_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o so_o have_v authority_n to_o abrogate_v that_o day_n or_o establish_v it_o as_o he_o please_v which_o seem_v to_o imply_v this_o much_o you_o be_v ever_o and_o anon_o carp_a at_o my_o disciple_n and_o especial_o at_o i_o as_o though_o their_o and_o i_o action_n be_v profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o know_v that_o i_o have_v a_o sovereignty_n over_o it_o and_o can_v dispose_v of_o it_o as_o i_o please_v and_o make_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o lawful_a on_o the_o seven_o to_o be_v legitimate_a which_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o hint_n of_o its_o abrogation_n
