prove_v it_o and_o then_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o they_o like_v not_o because_o it_o will_v tie_v they_o to_o a_o whole_a day_n continuance_n will_v be_v their_o only_a sufficient_a refuge_n therefore_o also_o their_o reason_n be_v very_o doubtful_o and_o waver_o propound_v and_o so_o we_o esteem_v that_o such_o a_o answer_n be_v over_o ambiguous_a to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v either_o of_o our_o argument_n and_o if_o they_o will_v hereafter_o or_o any_o for_o they_o offer_v to_o make_v a_o answer_n definite_o and_o clear_o either_o to_o the_o necessity_n or_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o proportion_n let_v they_o have_v but_o one_o day_n of_o ten_o or_o twenty_o as_o necessary_a and_o two_o hour_n of_o that_o day_n or_o nominate_v those_o or_o any_o other_o proportion_n of_o frequency_n and_o continuance_n as_o sufficient_a whatever_o they_o instance_n in_o and_o whether_o it_o be_v well_o or_o ill_a yet_o will_v it_o suffice_v for_o our_o argument_n to_o justify_v they_o and_o confirm_v that_o the_o church_n have_v no_o absolute_a or_o legislative_a authority_n to_o determine_v this_o chief_a time_n necessary_a and_o sufficient_a to_o religion_n but_o that_o nature_n and_o reason_n or_o scripture_n some_o or_o all_o of_o these_o do_v beforehand_o determine_v the_o necessity_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o church_n office_n herein_o be_v no_o more_o but_o of_o a_o crier_n or_o preacher_n as_o our_o divine_n urge_v against_o the_o papist_n in_o point_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n to_o determine_v what_o book_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v and_o pronounce_v and_o then_o consequent_o to_o use_v her_o authority_n over_o her_o member_n to_o urge_v they_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v and_o not_o at_o all_o of_o a_o lawgiver_n to_o determine_v it_o and_o thus_o much_o we_o very_o believe_v these_o argument_n have_v evince_v undeniable_o which_o therefore_o we_o again_o desire_v our_o reader_n to_o observe_v that_o so_o the_o church_n absolute_a and_o unlimited_a authority_n may_v be_v no_o more_o urge_v in_o this_o controversy_n no_o not_o in_o general_n and_o so_o deceivable_a term_n and_o then_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o reader_n will_v soon_o see_v a_o necessity_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o four_o commandment_n as_o god_n own_o determination_n of_o this_o necessary_a and_o sufficient_a chief_a time_n for_o continuance_n a_o whole_a day_n for_o frequency_n one_o in_o seven_o as_o the_o only_a sure_a ground_n for_o conscience_n to_o rest_n upon_o in_o so_o important_a a_o matter_n and_o that_o many_o more_o not_o to_o say_v all_o that_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o with_o prejudices_fw-la will_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n when_o we_o have_v express_o discuss_v whether_o the_o church_n wisdom_n will_v or_o can_v suffice_v to_o determine_v from_o nature_n and_o reason_n and_o any_o thing_n in_o scripture_n beside_o the_o precise_a determination_n of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o according_a to_o that_o four_o commandment_n the_o just_a proportion_n of_o necessary_a and_o sufficient_a time_n for_o religion_n which_o we_o shall_v take_v to_o task_n ere_o we_o make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o question_n in_o this_o chapter_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o go_v on_o to_o a_o four_o argument_n if_o the_o church_n have_v authority_n to_o determine_v the_o chief_a time_n for_o all_o its_o member_n worship_n xxviii_o argument_n 4._o the_o church_n can_v determine_v time_n for_o family_n or_o solitary_a worship_n than_o it_o have_v authority_n to_o determine_v the_o continuance_n so_o lareg_o to_o extend_v beyond_o the_o public_a worship_n even_o to_o take_v in_o both_o domestic_a worship_n where_o it_o may_v be_v have_v and_o special_o solitary_a worship_n by_o every_o christian_a apart_o before_z and_o after_o the_o public_a worship_n but_o the_o church_n have_v no_o

special_o solitary_a worship_n by_o every_o christian_a apart_o before_z and_o after_o the_o public_a worship_n ergo_fw-la the_o church_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o determine_v the_o chief_a time_n for_o all_o its_o member_n the_o consequence_n have_v be_v prove_v before_o at_o large_a in_o the_o former_a chapter_n that_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o chief_a time_n must_v be_v so_o large_a as_o not_o only_o to_o allow_v but_o to_o necessitate_v before_o and_o after_o the_o public_a worship_n family_n worship_n also_o where_o it_o may_v be_v have_v and_o however_o to_o necessitate_v as_o well_o as_o to_o afford_v liberty_n for_o solitary_a worship_n by_o every_o one_o apart_o the_o antecedent_n may_v be_v thus_o strengthen_v 1._o it_o be_v usual_o say_a that_o the_o sword_n nor_o the_o key_n meddle_v not_o within_o door_n that_o be_v neither_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n nor_o the_o church-governors_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v affirmative_a law_n for_o private_a family_n for_o negative_a they_o do_v in_o reference_n to_o what_o they_o do_v among_o themselves_o not_o direct_o concern_v the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n or_o state_n and_o lest_o of_o all_o do_v they_o meddle_v with_o their_o time_n of_o which_o every_o governor_n of_o a_o family_n be_v count_v lord_n and_o master_n or_o lady_n and_o mistress_n for_o themselves_o and_o all_o under_o their_o

we_o find_v not_o that_o any_o church_n or_o christian_a magistrate_n though_o forbid_v work_n to_o all_o even_a within_o door_n upon_o such_o and_o such_o day_n have_v yet_o command_v parent_n or_o master_n to_o catechise_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n within_o door_n on_o those_o day_n precise_o or_o pray_v with_o they_o or_o examine_v they_o what_o they_o have_v learn_v in_o public_a or_o any_o such_o like_a duty_n of_o religion_n 2._o but_o special_o in_o reference_n to_o solitary_a worship_n secret_a prayer_n secret_a thanksgiving_n secret_a meditation_n of_o the_o word_n hear_v or_o of_o any_o other_o heavenly_a and_o divine_a matter_n concern_v god_n and_o the_o soul_n the_o church_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o determine_v any_o time_n which_o necessary_o must_v be_v spend_v in_o any_o of_o these_o duty_n or_o any_o other_o in_o secret_a of_o which_o we_o conceive_v a_o double_a reason_n 1._o because_o no_o authority_n of_o man_n be_v suppose_v to_o reach_v to_o that_o which_o neither_o themselves_o nor_o any_o other_o man_n live_v can_v ever_o come_v to_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v observe_v or_o not_o which_o be_v the_o case_n plain_o here_o no_o man_n can_v

solitary_a worship_n to_o god_n or_o not_o unless_o i_o tell_v they_o afterward_o or_o speak_v so_o loud_o as_o that_o they_o overhear_v i_o which_o i_o be_o not_o bind_v to_o do_v or_o rather_o be_o bind_v not_o to_o do_v it_o be_v altogether_o vain_a to_o say_v no_o more_o to_o determine_v and_o command_v that_o which_o no_o account_n can_v be_v take_v of_o by_o those_o that_o command_v it_o or_o by_o any_o man_n else_o whether_o it_o be_v obey_v or_o not_o 2._o but_o further_a secret_a duty_n and_o so_o time_n to_o be_v necessary_o employ_v in_o they_o be_v immediate_o duty_n of_o

the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a part_n of_o duty_n but_o only_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n alone_o here_o again_o the_o church_n or_o any_o superior_a may_v give_v counsel_n or_o declare_v the_o will_n of_o god_n about_o such_o duty_n or_o such_o time_n to_o be_v so_o employ_v but_o can_v command_v or_o determine_v it_o whereas_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o a_o time_n that_o must_v be_v

the_o day_n and_o if_o so_o why_o not_o for_o the_o ordinary_a chief_a solemn_a time_n we_o answer_v in_o a_o word_n sol._n sol._n that_o the_o continuance_n of_o a_o public_a fast_o be_v before_o

and_o can_v have_v but_o short_a and_o scanty_a time_n of_o continuance_n on_o the_o ordinary_a work_a day_n for_o their_o joint_a family_n worship_n many_o pretend_v they_o can_v have_v any_o at_o all_o for_o all_o their_o family_n and_o special_o not_o twice_o a_o day_n according_a to_o what_o be_v discourse_v before_o though_o this_o be_v but_o a_o worldly_a pretence_n if_o it_o be_v mean_v ordinary_o and_o will_v hardly_o we_o doubt_v serve_v for_o a_o excuse_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v man_n for_o their_o worldly_a mindedness_n as_o well_o as_o other_o sin_n and_o prefer_v the_o world_n get_v good_n and_o follow_v pleasure_n and_o the_o like_a before_o converse_v with_o he_o and_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o their_o family_n but_o however_o this_o confirm_v that_o ordinary_o such_o time_n can_v be_v but_o scanty_a and_o short_a therefore_o there_o be_v the_o more_o need_n that_o upon_o the_o chief_a solemn_a time_n the_o extent_n of_o the_o continuance_n be_v sufficient_a to_o afford_v a_o convenient_a space_n for_o family_n worship_v over_o and_o above_o the_o public_a and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o excuse_n of_o want_n of_o leisure_n from_o every_o one_o 2._o the_o need_n that_o all_o stand_v in_o to_o have_v their_o mind_n prepare_v and_o put_v into_o frame_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n call_v for_o the_o same_o also_o if_o man_n come_v raw_o and_o rude_o from_o worldly_a thought_n and_o business_n into_o the_o church_n and_o to_o the_o public_a worship_n they_o will_v be_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a in_o it_o special_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o to_o lose_v a_o remarkable_a part_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o by_o the_o unpreparednesse_n of_o their_o mind_n special_o such_o as_o be_v of_o less_o knowledge_n and_o less_o affection_n towards_o godliness_n and_o this_o can_v in_o reason_n be_v prevent_v any_o way_n so_o sure_o as_o by_o some_o family_n duty_n prepare_v every_o one_o for_o the_o public_a and_o take_v they_o off_o from_o worldliness_n and_o secular_a cogitation_n and_o possess_v they_o with_o a_o awe_n of_o the_o duty_n they_o be_v go_v to_o perform_v more_o public_o 3._o no_o less_o but_o rather_o much_o more_o the_o improvement_n of_o the_o public_a worship_n necessary_o call_v for_o consequent_a family_n worship_n for_o memory_n and_o further_o affect_v of_o every_o one_o by_o repetition_n and_o prayer_n and_o conference_n every_o one_o have_v needs_o of_o this_o the_o best_a memory_n and_o the_o most_o zealous_a heart_n how_o much_o more_o the_o weak_a in_o both_o respect_n and_o if_o any_o be_v able_a and_o zealous_a it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o a_o necessary_a duty_n in_o they_o to_o help_v other_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v this_o also_o we_o mean_v particular_o repetition_n will_v quicken_v the_o attention_n of_o all_o sort_n neither_o the_o servant_n nor_o yet_o the_o governor_n will_v afford_v themselves_o leisure_n to_o sleep_n or_o gaze_v or_o muse_v of_o other_o matter_n during_o the_o public_a worship_n if_o the_o one_o must_v give_v account_n and_o the_o other_o must_v be_v able_a to_o require_v it_o and_o take_v it_o which_o he_o can_v if_o he_o himself_o have_v not_o give_v good_a attention_n 4._o final_o the_o need_n that_o most_o have_v to_o labour_v with_o their_o family_n to_o put_v more_o knowledge_n in_o they_o than_o they_o have_v particular_a help_n for_o in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o day_n i_o mean_v the_o need_n of_o continual_a catechise_n of_o they_o even_o beyond_o what_o be_v public_o do_v to_o those_o of_o their_o family_n make_v up_o yet_o further_o the_o necessity_n of_o have_v and_o observe_v sufficient_a time_n for_o family_n duty_n of_o worship_n beside_o the_o public_a how_o long_o or_o how_o well_n soever_o continue_v and_o all_o this_o be_v so_o confirm_v by_o the_o unhappy_a experience_n of_o those_o family_n where_o this_o be_v not_o regard_v not_o observe_v that_o consideration_n of_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a than_o a_o prolix_a discourse_n upon_o it_o he_o that_o look_v advise_o upon_o such_o family_n shall_v see_v they_o come_v drop_v in_o one_o after_o another_o late_o to_o the_o public_a worship_n and_o when_o they_o be_v there_o sleep_v oftentimes_o even_o in_o the_o morning_n or_o otherwise_o behave_v themselves_o so_o rude_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v assure_v they_o neither_o honour_n god_n nor_o benefit_v their_o soul_n by_o such_o service_n and_o after_o even_o though_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v attentive_a and_o observant_a they_o have_v learn_v little_a or_o nothing_o at_o all_o oftentimes_o have_v forget_v the_o very_a text_n and_o the_o chapter_n or_o psalm_n that_o be_v read_v and_o can_v tell_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o what_o they_o may_v have_v learn_v and_o if_o they_o can_v remember_v somewhat_o for_o the_o present_a yet_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o whet_v as_o the_o original_a word_n be_v deut._n 6._o in_o the_o charge_n give_v to_o govenour_n of_o family_n towards_o their_o child_n and_o so_o servant_n for_o want_v of_o give_v

little_a edge_n perhaps_o by_o the_o public_a ordinance_n and_o this_o most_o of_o all_o through_o the_o diversion_n of_o their_o mind_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o public_a ordinance_n be_v end_v to_o

this_o branch_n also_o that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o religion_n can_v certain_o stand_v among_o all_o man_n without_o family_n worship_n the_o chief_a solemn_a sufficient_a time_n must_v extend_v

if_o religion_n can_v certain_o stand_v among_o all_o man_n without_o a_o convenient_a space_n of_o continuance_n frequent_o observe_v for_o solitary_a worship_n by_o a_o man_n self_n alone_o over_o
