maxim_n reject_v as_o unlawful_a now_o what_o certainty_n or_o probability_n be_v there_o that_o jesus_n christ_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o his_o appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n give_v they_o

and_o their_o obligation_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o certain_a day_n have_v begin_v by_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o enjoin_v they_o to_o heepe_n it_o which_o difficulty_n i_o see_v not_o how_o those_o that_o hold_v the_o aforesaid_a maxim_n can_v well_o resolve_v 21_o they_o say_v that_o when_o the_o first_o change_n be_v make_v the_o disciple_n keep_v two_o sabbath_n consecutive_o to_o wit_n the_o last_o of_o the_o week_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o ancient_a testament_n and_o

always_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o this_o say_n be_v a_o pure_a imagination_n for_o who_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o disciple_n do_v keep_v that_o course_n beside_o this_o give_v no_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o difficulty_n afore_o mention_v for_o jesus_n christ_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v by_o his_o death_n abrogate_a all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n at_o the_o same_o very_a instant_n that_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n cease_v to_o be_v obligatory_a and_o so_o although_o jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o he_o rise_v in_o have_v ordain_v unto_o they_o express_o that_o day_n and_o make_v they_o to_o sanctify_v it_o in_o quality_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n to_o

observe_v it_o they_o do_v it_o not_o through_o any_o obligation_n bind_v they_o thereunto_o because_o it_o be_v abolish_v it_o follow_v manifest_o that_o the_o obligation_n to_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v cause_v in_o one_o week_n at_o least_o yea_o in_o more_o than_o one_o if_o he_o ordain_v not_o sunday_n to_o be_v keep_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o unto_o they_o after_o his_o

least_o a_o interruption_n in_o the_o obligation_n or_o bind_v power_n which_o it_o have_v 22_o i_o will_v again_o fain_o know_v since_o christ_n resurrection_n may_v without_o inconvenience_n cause_n the_o change_n of_o the_o particular_a day_n wherein_o the_o sabbath_n be_v before_o observe_v which_o be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n into_o another_o day_n which_o be_v the_o first_o wherein_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v why_o it_o may_v not_o likewise_o without_o any_o inconvenience_n at_o all_o give_v occasion_n to_o change_v the_o whole_a general_a order_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o deliver_v the_o church_n from_o all_o obligation_n unto_o it_o sith_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v there_o be_v no_o great_a necessity_n to_o observe_v one_o

say_v to_o have_v happen_v as_o god_n rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n after_o six_o day_n of_o labour_n to_o ratify_v thereby_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o number_n but_o to_o reckon_v

of_o a_o seven_o day_n for_o his_o rest_n carry_v not_o with_o it_o any_o necessary_a and_o natural_a obligation_n to_o imitate_v it_o and_o be_v not_o obligatory_a under_o the_o old_a testament_n

be_v no_o necessity_n in_o this_o she_o think_v it_o expedient_a to_o keep_v this_o order_n of_o one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n observe_v by_o the_o jew_n among_o who_o the_o week_n have_v its_o

to_o keep_v a_o memorial_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n of_o all_o this_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o the_o reason_n take_v from_o god_n example_n as_o it_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o four_o
