jehovah_n and_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o such_o yet_o the_o same_o lord_n christ_n be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o make_v by_o jehovah_n as_o such_o and_o therefore_o as_o

proper_a and_o strict_a sense_n jehovah_n the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n can_v be_v say_v to_o rest_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v either_o admit_v of_o any_o weariness_n or_o pain_n in_o himself_o yea_o or_o of_o any_o the_o least_o new_a motion_n in_o himself_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a perfect_a immutable_a act_n and_o life_n can_v possible_o admit_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o all_o the_o change_n that_o he_o make_v either_o substantial_o of_o nothing_o into_o be_v or_o alteration_n of_o the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o be_v etc._n etc._n without_o himself_o be_v and_o must_v be_v without_o the_o least_o mutation_n and_o alteration_n within_o himself_o and_o this_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n and_o metaphysic_n will_v teach_v we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o light_n of_o scripture_n and_o theology_n as_o mal._n 3.6_o jam._n 1.17_o so_o that_o though_o god_n may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o conclude_v or_o end_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n yet_o can_v he_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o rest_v from_o it_o or_o after_o it_o because_o this_o in_o its_o formal_a notion_n imply_v motion_n activity_n and_o exert_n of_o power_n and_o ability_n with_o a_o weariness_n thereby_o which_o the_o deity_n be_v infinite_o free_a from_o which_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v heed_v because_o i_o perceive_v the_o author_n will_v fain_o have_v every_o clause_n in_o the_o four_o command_n to_o be_v moral_a and_o of_o necessary_a and_o perpetual_a observance_n and_o especial_o this_o of_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n now_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a as_o to_o motive_n and_o obligation_n to_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v that_o which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n right_a reason_n or_o to_o go_v high_o the_o perfect_o

i_o think_v god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n may_v well_o be_v assert_v not_o to_o be_v because_o 1._o reason_n or_o the_o illuminate_v mind_n of_o man_n can_v never_o suppose_v god_n to_o take_v after_o his_o work_n any_o real_a rest_n or_o refreshment_n in_o himself_o which_o he_o have_v not_o before_o and_o second_o god_n work_v in_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o creation_n in_o its_o be_v order_n and_o operation_n be_v altogether_o as_o great_a and_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o production_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o schoolman_n say_v that_o preservation_n be_v a_o continual_a act_n of_o creation_n because_o the_o same_o word_n and_o power_n be_v exert_v in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o yea_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o work_n itself_o or_o the_o term_n of_o it_o without_o god_n we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o creation_n of_o it_o though_o as_o to_o the_o act_n itself_o in_o god_n all_o be_v the_o same_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o same_o infinite_a power_n wisdom_n and_o godhead_n because_o of_o the_o contrary_a quality_n of_o the_o creature_n mutual_o tend_v to_o each_o other_o destruction_n but_o especial_o because_o of_o the_o malice_n of_o devil_n and_o the_o sinful_a wretched_a depravity_n of_o fallen_n man_n which_o without_o a_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n exert_v to_o the_o contrary_a will_v soon_o bring_v all_o to_o ruin_n at_o least_o it_o will_v do_v so_o by_o the_o humane_a nature_n for_o which_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v make_v and_o be_v continue_v and_o therefore_o this_o motive_n to_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n can_v be_v in_o and_o of_o itself_o moral_a and_o this_o our_o saviour_n clear_o show_v john_n 5.17_o my_o father_n work_v hitherto_o and_o i_o work_v which_o he_o give_v by_o way_n of_o reply_n to_o those_o who_o in_o the_o former_a context_n tax_v and_o condemn_v he_o for_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o

well_o as_o on_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n from_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a this_o clause_n in_o the_o command_n be_v not_o moral_a but_o positive_a as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v sanctify_v and_o so_o institute_v by_o he_o and_o be_v observe_v by_o he_o who_o make_v the_o world_n we_o answer_v it_o be_v sanctify_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

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

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

neither_o prudent_a nor_o seasonable_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o but_o let_v he_o that_o keep_v a_o day_n keep_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o that_o keep_v not_o a_o day_n unto_o the_o lord_n let_v he_o not_o keep_v it_o and_o let_v both_o maintain_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n here_o i_o hope_v to_o have_v annex_v my_o epilogue_n but_o some_o passage_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o easter_n do_v require_v a_o little_a animadversion_n as_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o page_n 134._o which_o he_o have_v do_v several_a time_n before_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o be_v introduce_v by_o the_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o so_o impose_v by_o he_o upon_o the_o other_o church_n which_o he_o think_v evidence_v by_o his_o former_a collection_n but_o 1._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v before_o there_o be_v a_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o christian_n just_a upon_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 2._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v by_o very_o great_a church_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o roman_a faith_n and_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o roman_a ecclesiastical_a government_n when_o either_o the_o roman_a bishop_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o they_o or_o if_o he_o do_v they_o right_o and_o stout_o resist_v and_o refuse_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o universal_a reception_n of_o all_o the_o church_n conjunct_o as_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o scriptural_a authority_n than_o any_o imposition_n of_o rome_n upon_o they_o he_o have_v a_o strange_a notion_n page_n 130._o as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o which_o be_v that_o first_o rome_n endeavour_v 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 dominical_a day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n whereas_o the_o proper_a paschal-day_n be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o honour_n to_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 moreover_o in_o those_o church_n wherein_o they_o dissent_v from_o rome_n as_o to_o the_o day_n of_o easter_n they_o concur_v with_o she_o in_o the_o weekly_a lordsday_n so_o that_o the_o lordsday_n 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 jehovah_n be_v not_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n nor_o rest_v on_o it_o till_o his_o incarnation_n nor_o be_v christ_n real_o till_o then_o that_o he_o give_v not_o the_o command_v on_o mount_n sinai_n neither_o be_v they_o there_o give_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o those_o mix_a people_n that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n that_o the_o ten_o command_n be_v confirm_v by_o our_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n and_o discourse_n but_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n never_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v by_o he_o in_o they_o all_o as_o that_o which_o be_v no_o part_n at_o all_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o pure_o positive_a both_o in_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o ground_n and_o motive_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v found_v and_o impose_v upon_o its_o observer_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v change_v with_o the_o other_o positive_a and_o ceremonial_a precept_n of_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 ceremony_n and_o moysaicall_a administration_n and_o observe_v they_o all_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sabbath_n but_o yet_o he_o then_o speak_v and_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o declare_v its_o approach_n to_o dissolution_n and_o its_o non-morality_n that_o he_o rest_v no_o more_o in_o the_o grave_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n than_o he_o do_v on_o the_o cross_n on_o the_o six_o when_o he_o hang_v dead_a
