he_o alone_o can_v change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v lord_n of_o it_o that_o be_v christ_n so_o that_o according_a to_o he_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o change_n and_o

concern_v the_o action_n of_o god_n the_o most_o dutiful_a and_o safe_a way_n on_o our_o part_n be_v to_o search_v what_o god_n have_v do_v and_o with_o meekeresse_n to_o admire_v that_o rather_o then_o to_o dispute_v what_o he_o in_o congruity_n of_o reason_n aught_o to_o do_v he_o may_v therefore_o have_v spare_v all_o the_o reason_n he_o bring_v and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o to_o have_v allege_v one_o place_n out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o do_v command_v the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n especial_o see_v he_o deny_v it_o and_o that_o for_o many_o reason_n by_o he_o there_o

that_o he_o will_v have_v christian_n meet_v every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o serve_v god_n no_o sure_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o meeting_n in_o the_o text_n but_o what_o be_v

or_o that_o so_o account_v it_o they_o hold_v themselves_o bind_v to_o consecrate_v that_o more_o than_o any_o other_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o gentile_n as_o eusebius_n at_o large_a

upon_o some_o other_o ground_n or_o superstition_n they_o may_v account_v the_o number_n of_o seven_o to_o be_v sacred_a as_o because_o by_o that_o number_n the_o planet_n which_o they_o honour_v as_o their_o chief_a deity_n be_v terminate_v for_o which_o cause_n we_o know_v by_o their_o name_n they_o entitle_v their_o day_n but_o what_o ever_o be_v the_o motive_n as_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n that_o the_o gentile_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n hold_v the_o number_n of_o seven_o in_o great_a veneration_n account_v 5._o it_o the_o number_n of_o perfection_n and_o full_a of_o

much_o i_o willing_o grant_v they_o that_o some_o time_n to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o god_n worship_n be_v absolute_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o proportion_n of_o time_n which_o god_n
