though_o he_o limit_n paul_n preach_v to_o that_o church_n with_o who_o he_o at_o present_a personal_o be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n be_v come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n paul_n be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o troas_n preach_v to_o they_o on_o that_o day_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o the_o gentile-churche_n do_v use_v to_o break_v bread_n not_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o i_o say_v they_o have_v it_o from_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n where_o the_o apostle_n be_v first_o seat_v and_o behold_v the_o way_n of_o their_o lord_n with_o their_o eye_n now_o i_o say_v since_o we_o have_v so_o ample_a a_o example_n not_o only_o of_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n but_o also_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o first_o day_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o as_o countenance_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n for_o their_o practice_n be_v the_o same_o with_o law_n and_o commandment_n but_o five_o we_o will_v add_v to_o this_o another_o text_n now_o say_v paul_n concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n let_v every_o one_o of_o you_o lay_v by_o he_o as_o god_n have_v prosper_v he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o gather_n when_o i_o come_v 1_o cor._n 16._o 1_o 2._o this_o text_n some_o have_v great_o seek_v to_o evade_v count_v the_o duty_n here_o on_o this_o day_n to_o be_v do_v a_o duty_n too_o inferior_a for_o the_o sanction_n of_o a_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o yet_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o a_o ass_n on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v a_o work_n which_o our_o lord_n no_o way_n condemn_v luke_n 13._o 15._o ch_n 14._o 15._o but_o to_o pursue_v our_o design_n we_o have_v a_o duty_n enjoin_v and_o that_o of_o no_o inferior_a sort_n if_o charity_n be_v indeed_o as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o perfectness_n and_o if_o without_o it_o all_o our_o do_n yea_o and_o suffering_n too_o be_v not_o worth_a so_o much_o as_o a_o rush_n 1_o cor._n 13._o coloss._n 3._o 14._o we_o have_v here_o a_o duty_n i_o say_v that_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o enforce_v be_v not_o too_o big_a for_o it_o to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o work_n now_o to_o be_v do_v be_v as_o you_o see_v to_o bestow_v their_o charity_n upon_o the_o poor_a yea_o to_o provide_v for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v collect_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n not_o a_o first_o day_n as_o signify_v one_o or_o two_o but_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n even_o every_o first_o day_n for_o so_o your_o ancient_a bibles_n have_v it_o also_o our_o late_a must_v be_v so_o understand_v or_o else_o paul_n have_v leave_v they_o to_o who_o he_o do_v write_v utter_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o if_o he_o intend_v not_o every_o first_o day_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o specify_v a_o particular_a one_o it_o can_v hardly_o even_o a_o be_v understand_v which_o first_o day_n he_o mean_v but_o we_o need_v not_o stand_v upon_o this_o this_o work_n be_v a_o work_n for_o a_o first_o day_n for_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n note_v again_o that_o we_o have_v this_o duty_n here_o command_v and_o enforce_v by_o a_o apostolical_a order_n i_o have_v give_v order_n say_v paul_n for_o this_o and_o his_o order_n as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 14._o vers_fw-la 37._o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v give_v even_o by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o a_o holy_a respect_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n yea_o or_o of_o the_o year_n beside_o further_o i_o find_v also_o by_o this_o text_n that_o this_o order_n be_v universal_a i_o have_v say_v he_o give_v this_o order_n not_o only_o to_o you_o but_o to_o the_o church_n in_o galatia_n consequently_n to_o all_o other_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o collection_n 2_o cor._n 8._o and_o 9_o chap._n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o whatever_o other_o may_v think_v put_v yet_o more_o glory_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o in_o that_o all_o the_o church_n be_v command_v as_o to_o make_v their_o collection_n so_o to_o make_v they_o on_o this_o day_n what_o be_v it_o but_o that_o this_o day_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sanction_n that_o christ_n put_v upon_o it_o be_v of_o virtue_n to_o sanctify_v the_o offer_n through_o and_o by_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o altar_n and_o temple_n afore_o do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n and_o gold_n that_o be_v and_o be_v offer_v on_o they_o the_o proverb_n be_v the_o better_a day_n the_o better_a deed._n and_o i_o believe_v that_o thing_n do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v better_o do_v than_o on_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o his_o worship_n obj._n but_o yet_o say_v some_o here_o be_v no_o order_n to_o keep_v this_o first_o day_n holy_a to_o the_o lord_n answ._n 1._o that_o be_v supply_v for_o that_o by_o this_o very_a text_n this_o day_n be_v appoint_v above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n in_o 2._o you_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o order_n be_v but_o additional_a and_o now_o enjoin_v to_o fill_v up_o that_o which_o be_v begin_v as_o to_o holy_a exercise_n of_o religious_a worship_n by_o the_o church_n long_o before_o 3._o the_o universality_n of_o the_o duty_n be_v enjoin_v to_o this_o day_n suppose_v that_o this_o day_n be_v universal_o keep_v by_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a already_o 4._o and_o let_v he_o that_o scruple_v this_o show_v i_o if_o he_o can_v that_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o apostle_n do_v ever_o command_v that_o all_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v confine_v to_o this_o or_o that_o duty_n on_o such_o a_o day_n and_o yet_o put_v no_o sanction_n upon_o that_o day_n or_o that_o he_o have_v command_v that_o this_o work_n shall_v be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o yet_o have_v reserve_v other_o church-ordinance_n as_o a_o public_a solemnisation_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o to_o be_v do_v of_o another_o day_n as_o of_o a_o day_n more_o fit_a more_o holy_a 5._o if_o charity_n if_o a_o general_a collection_n for_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n be_v command_v on_o this_o day_n and_o on_o no_o other_o day_n but_o this_o day_n for_o church-collection_n be_v command_v on_o no_o other_o there_o must_v be_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o if_o that_o reason_n have_v not_o respect_n to_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n i_o know_v not_o why_o the_o duty_n shall_v be_v so_o strict_o confine_v to_o it_o 6._o but_o for_o the_o apostle_n now_o to_o give_v with_o this_o a_o particular_a command_n to_o the_o church_n to_o sanctify_v that_o day_n as_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v utter_o superfluous_a for_o that_o they_o already_o and_o that_o by_o the_o countenance_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o his_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n have_v do_v before_o now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v become_v a_o custom_n as_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o be_v manifest_a wherefore_o what_o need_v that_o their_o so_o solemn_a a_o practice_n be_v impose_v again_o upon_o the_o brethren_n a_o intimation_n now_o of_o a_o continue_a respect_n thereto_o by_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o day_n be_v enough_o to_o keep_v the_o sanctity_n thereof_o on_o foot_n in_o the_o church_n how_o much_o more_o then_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v still_o add_v holy_a duty_n to_o holy_a duty_n to_o be_v perform_v upon_o that_o day_n so_o then_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n and_o insinuate_v that_o he_o will_v still_o have_v they_o have_v a_o due_a respect_n thereto_o quest._n but_o be_v there_o yet_o another_o reason_n why_o this_o holy_a duty_n shall_v in_o special_a as_o it_o be_v be_v command_v to_o be_v perform_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n answ._n yes_o for_o that_o now_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o in_o their_o respective_a place_n the_o better_a to_o agree_v about_o collection_n and_o to_o gather_v they_o you_o know_v church-worship_n be_v a_o duty_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o long_o also_o be_v this_o of_o make_v collection_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o
worship_n hence_o it_o be_v say_v of_o that_o ministration_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o which_o this_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v sound_a that_o it_o have_v now_o no_o glory_n that_o its_o glory_n be_v do_v away_o in_o or_o by_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v lay_v aside_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o excel_v in_o glory_n be_v come_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o i_o will_v read_v the_o text_n to_o you_o but_o if_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n write_v and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n be_v glorious_a so_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n can_v not_o steadfast_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o moses_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o countenance_n which_o glory_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o it_o be_v give_v at_o first_o with_o this_o proviso_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o always_o retain_v its_o glory_n that_o sanction_n as_o a_o ministration_n how_o shall_v not_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v rather_o glorious_a for_o if_o the_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n be_v glory_n much_o more_o do_v the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n exceed_v in_o glory_n for_o even_o that_o which_o be_v make_v glorious_a have_v no_o glory_n in_o this_o respect_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o glory_n that_o exceli_v for_o if_o that_o which_o be_v do_v away_o be_v glorious_a much_o more_o that_o which_o remain_v be_v glorious_a 2_o cor._n 3._o what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a the_o text_n say_v express_o that_o this_o ministration_n do_v not_o remain_v yea_o and_o insinuate_v that_o in_o its_o first_o institution_n it_o be_v ordain_v with_o this_o proviso_n it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o now_o if_o in_o its_o first_o institution_n upon_o sinai_n it_o be_v thus_o ordain_v and_o if_o by_o the_o come_n in_o of_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n this_o ordination_n be_v now_o execute_v that_o be_v if_o by_o it_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o it_o be_v do_v away_o by_o a_o ministration_n that_o remain_v then_o where_o be_v that_o seventh-day-sabbath_n thus_o therefore_o i_o have_v discourse_v upon_o this_o four_o question_n and_o have_v show_v by_o this_o discourse_n that_o the_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v abolish_v and_o do_v away_o and_o that_o it_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n i_o be_o next_o to_o show_v what_o day_n it_o be_v that_o must_v abide_v that_o must_v abide_v as_o holy_a to_o the_o christian_n and_o for_o they_o to_o perform_v their_o new_a testament-church-service_n in_o take_v the_o question_n thus_o quest_n v._o since_o it_o be_v deny_v that_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v moral_a and_o be_v find_v it_o be_v not_o to_o abide_v as_o a_o sabbath_n for_o ever_o in_o the_o church_n what_o time_n be_v to_o be_v fix_v on_o for_o new_a testament-saint_n to_o perform_v together_o divine_a worship_n to_o god_n by_o christ_n in_o upon_o this_o question_n hang_v the_o stress_n of_o all_o as_o to_o the_o subject_a now_o under_o consideration_n but_o before_o i_o can_v speak_v distinct_o to_o it_o i_o must_v premise_v as_o i_o have_v in_o order_n to_o my_o speak_n to_o the_o question_n before_o something_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o our_o way_n 1._o then_o we_o be_v not_o now_o speak_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o worship_v god_n nor_o of_o all_o time_n in_o which_o all_o manner_n of_o worship_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v but_o of_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v church-worship_n or_o worship_n that_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o assembly_n of_o saint_n when_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n they_o in_o all_o part_n of_o his_o dominion_n assemble_v together_o to_o worship_v he_o which_o worship_n have_v a_o prefix_a time_n allot_v to_o or_o for_o its_o performance_n and_o without_o which_o it_o can_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v do_v this_o be_v the_o time_n i_o say_v that_o we_o be_v to_o discourse_v of_o and_o not_o of_o all_z time_n appoint_v for_o all_o manner_n of_o worship_n i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o that_o worship_n by_o the_o godly_a be_v perform_v to_o god_n every_o day_n of_o the_o week_n yea_o and_o every_o night_n too_o and_o that_o time_n be_v appoint_v or_o allow_v of_o god_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o such_o worship_n but_o this_o time_n be_v not_o fix_v to_o the_o same_o moment_n or_o ho●●_n universal_o but_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o believer_n as_o their_o frame_n of_o spirit_n or_o occasion_n or_o exigency_n or_o tenptation_n or_o duty_n shall_v require_v we_o meddle_v then_o only_o with_o that_o time_n that_o the_o worship_n aforesaid_a be_v to_o be_v perform_v in_o which_o time_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o such_o suppose_n but_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n choose_v and_o this_o time_n as_o to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n we_o have_v prove_v be_v not_o that_o time_n which_o be_v assign_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o wit_n that_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v impose_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n for_o as_o we_o have_v show_v already_o that_o ministration_n indeed_o be_v do_v away_o by_o a_o better_a and_o more_o glorious_a ministration_n the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o ministration_n sure_o will_v be_v much_o more_o inferior_a than_o that_o which_o have_v now_o no_o glory_n be_v it_o defective_a as_o to_o this_o that_o be_v if_o it_o impose_v a_o gospel-service_n but_o appoint_v not_o time_n to_o perform_v that_o worship_n in_o or_o if_o notwithstanding_o all_o its_o commendation_n it_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o borrow_v of_o a_o ministration_n inferior_a to_o itself_o that_o to_o wit_n the_o time_n without_o which_o by_o no_o mean_n its_o most_o solemn_a worship_n can_v be_v perform_v this_o then_o be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o time_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o be_v require_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v as_o such_o fix_v it_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o i_o utter_o deny_v by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o have_v yet_o to_o say_v on_o that_o behalf_n yea_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o manifest_a as_o i_o have_v that_o this_o seven_o day_n be_v remove_v that_o god_n by_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v change_v the_o time_n to_o another_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v the_o time_n be_v fix_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o new_a testament-christians_a or_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n unto_o that_o day_n now_o in_o my_o discourse_n upon_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v 1._o touch_v upon_o those_o text_n that_o be_v more_o close_a yet_o have_v a_o divine_a intimation_n of_o this_o thing_n in_o they_o 2._o and_o then_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o text_n more_o express_a first_o for_o those_o text_n that_o be_v more_o close_a yet_o have_v a_o divine_a intimation_n of_o this_o thing_n in_o they_o first_o the_o comparison_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v between_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n from_o his_o work_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o christ_n from_o his_o do_v intimate_v such_o a_o thing_n he_o that_o have_v enter_v into_o his_o rest_n he_o also_o have_v cease_v from_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n do_v from_o his_o heb._n 4._o 10._o now_o god_n rest_v from_o his_o work_n and_o sanctify_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n to_o himself_o as_o a_o signal_n of_o that_o rest_n which_o day_n he_o also_o give_v to_o his_o church_n as_o a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n likewise_o and_o if_o christ_n thus_o rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o do_v thus_o rest_v he_o also_o have_v sanctify_v a_o day_n to_o himself_o as_o that_o in_o which_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o work_n and_o give_v it_o also_o to_o his_o church_n to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a memento_n of_o his_o so_o do_v and_o that_o they_o shall_v keep_v it_o holy_a for_o his_o sake_n and_o see_v as_o the_o father_n work_n be_v first_o so_o his_o day_n go_v before_o and_o as_o the_o son_n work_n come_v after_o so_o his_o day_n according_o succeed_v the_o father_n day_n be_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n the_o son_n the_o first_o day_n follow_v nor_o may_v this_o be_v slight_v because_o the_o text_n say_v as_o god_n finish_v his_o work_n so_o christ_n finish_v his_o he_o also_o have_v cease_v from_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n do_v from_o he_o he_o rest_v i_o say_v as_o god_n do_v but_o god_n rest_v on_o his_o rest_a day_n and_o therefore_o so_o do_v christ._n not_o that_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o father_n rest_a day_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o then_o he_o have_v great_a part_n of_o his_o work_n to_o do_v for_o he_o have_v not_o as_o then_o get_v his_o conquest_n over_o death_n but_o the_o next_o day_n he_o
the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o as_o i_o have_v hint_v afore_o of_o a_o church-collection_n when_o be_v it_o more_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v than_o when_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o worship_n god_n 2._o this_o part_n of_o worship_n be_v most_o comely_a to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o at_o the_o close_a of_o that_o day_n work_v for_o thereby_o the_o church_n show_v not_o only_o her_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o a_o sabbath-day_n mercy_n but_o also_o return_v he_o by_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a that_o sacrifice_n for_o their_o benefit_n that_o be_v most_o behoveful_a to_o make_v manifest_a their_o profess_a subjection_n to_o christ_n prov._n 19_o 17._o 2_o cor._n 9_o 12_o 13_o 14_o 15._o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o this_o work_n be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o a_o comely_a close_a of_o the_o worship_n that_o we_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n on_o that_o day_n 3._o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o church_n be_v perform_v of_o holy_a worship_n unto_o god_n then_o that_o of_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v perform_v because_o then_o in_o all_o likelihood_n our_o heart_n will_v be_v most_o warm_a with_o the_o divine_a presence_n consequent_o most_o open_a and_o free_a to_o contribute_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v open_a be_v take_v with_o some_o excellent_a thing_n then_o if_o at_o all_o it_o be_v most_o free_a to_o do_v something_o for_o the_o promote_a thereof_o why_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o appointment_n open_v and_o make_v fre●_n the_o heart_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o because_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v it_o in_o which_o now_o such_o solemn_a service_n to_o he_o be_v do_v therefore_o also_o the_o apostle_n command_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o day_n also_o as_o on_o a_o day_n most_o fit_a this_o duty_n of_o collect_v for_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v do_v for_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n 2_o cor._n 9_o 6_o 7._o wherefore_o the_o apostle_n by_o this_o take_v the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o advantage_n and_o as_o we_o say_v while_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v what_o in_o he_o lay_v make_v their_o gollection_n not_o spare_v nor_o of_o a_o grudge_a mind_n but_o to_o flow_v from_o cheerfulness_n and_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n though_o its_o institution_n be_v set_v aside_o do_v most_o natural_o tend_v to_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n the_o only_a day_n in_o which_o we_o receive_v such_o blessing_n from_o god_n act_v 3._o 26._o this_o be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o at_o first_o it_o rain_v manna_n all_o day_n long_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o new_a testament-church_n and_o so_o continue_v to_o do_v this_o day_n oh_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v on_o this_o day_n and_o the_o riches_n that_o we_o receive_v thereby_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o be_v i_o hope_v think_v on_o every_o day_n yet_o when_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n be_v full_o come_v then_o to_o day_n this_o day_n this_o be_v the_o day_n to_o be_v warm_v this_o day_n he_o be_v beget_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o thought_n of_o this_o will_v do_v much_o with_o a_o honest_a mind_n this_o be_v the_o day_n i_o say_v that_o the_o first_o saint_n do_v find_v and_o that_o after-saint_n do_v find_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n come_v down_o upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o day_n here_o command_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o holy_a duty_n and_o although_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v be_v but_o little_a set_v by_o of_o some_o yet_o for_o a_o close_a word_n as_o to_o this_o i_o do_v think_v can_v but_o half_a so_o much_o be_v produce_v from_o the_o day_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a quite_o down_o for_o the_o sanction_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n it_o will_v much_o sway_n with_o i_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n paul_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o fellow_n so_o much_o as_o once_o speak_v one_o word_n to_o the_o church_n that_o show_v the_o least_o regard_n as_o to_o conscience_n to_o god_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n more_o no_o the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n be_v now_o all_o the_o cry_n in_o the_o church_n by_o the_o apostle_n for_o the_o perform_a church-worship_n in_o to_o god_n christ_n begin_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o church_n practise_v it_o on_o that_o day_n and_o to_o conclude_v the_o apostle_n by_o the_o command_n now_o under_o consideration_n continue_v the_o sanction_n of_o that_o day_n to_o the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o as_o to_o the_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o have_v be_v say_v afore_o in_o this_o treatise_n paul_n who_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n have_v so_o take_v away_o that_o whole_a ministration_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o which_o it_o be_v yea_o and_o have_v so_o strip_v it_o of_o its_o old_a testament-grandeur_n both_o by_o term_n and_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o it_o shall_v by_o any_o be_v still_o keep_v up_o in_o the_o church_n special_o since_o the_o same_o apostle_n and_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v put_v a_o better_a ministration_n in_o its_o place_n 2_o cor._n 3._o but_o when_o the_o conscience_n of_o good_a man_n be_v captivate_v with_o a_o error_n none_o can_v stop_v they_o from_o a_o prosecution_n thereof_o as_o if_o it_o be_v itself_o of_o the_o best_a of_o truth_n obj._n but_o paul_n preach_v frequent_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o that_o after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ._n answ._n to_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n and_o their_o proselyte_n i_o grant_v he_o do_v but_o we_o read_v not_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o any_o new_a testament-church_n on_o that_o day_n nor_o do_v he_o celebrate_v the_o institute_v worship_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n on_o that_o day_n for_o paul_n who_o have_v before_o cast_v out_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n as_o that_o which_o have_v no_o glory_n will_v not_o now_o take_v thereof_o any_o part_n for_o new_a testament_n institute_v worship_n for_o he_o know_v that_o that_o will_v veil_v the_o heart_n and_o blind_a the_o mind_n from_o that_o which_o yet_o institute_v worship_n be_v ordain_v to_o discover_v he_o preach_v then_o on_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o crafty_a love_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n i_o say_v he_o preach_v now_o on_o that_o day_n to_o they_o and_o their_o proselyte_n because_o that_o day_n be_v they_o by_o their_o estimation_n he_o do_v it_o i_o say_v of_o great_a love_n to_o their_o soul_n that_o if_o possible_a he_o may_v save_v some_o of_o they_o wherefore_o it_o you_o observe_v you_o shall_v still_o find_v that_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o preach_v on_o that_o day_n it_o be_v to_o that_o people_n not_o to_o the_o church_n of_o
