the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o it_o begin_v to_o dawn_n towards_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n where_o the_o scripture_n determine_v the_o sabbath_n to_o end_v with_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n before_o the_o firstday_n morning_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o begin_v at_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o first_o day_n so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o truth_n that_o the_o evening_n and_o night_n before_o the_o morning_n of_o it_o be_v part_n of_o that_o day_n at_o least_o in_o this_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o hence_o we_o say_v that_o paul_n begin_v to_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

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

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

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

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

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
