appear_v to_o the_o world_n or_o the_o day_n of_o their_o departure_n hence_o which_o be_v the_o day_n of_o their_o happy_a inauguration_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n when_o they_o both_o

therein_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o abstain_v from_o their_o bodily_a labour_n according_a to_o the_o same_o streitnesse_n that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n i_o will_v glad_o then_o know_v some_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n shall_v want_v power_n to_o ordain_v the_o like_a day_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o special_a benefit_n to_o be_v observe_v not_o as_o sabbath_n which_o be_v now_o antiquate_v and_o no_o precedent_n for_o we_o christian_n but_o with_o such_o a_o cessation_n from_o labour_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o fit_a to_o accompany_v such_o solemnity_n of_o public_a joy_n and_o rejoice_v to_o which_o rest_n be_v more_o natural_o requisite_a then_o to_o the_o time_n of_o sorrow_n and_o humiliation_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o have_v of_o such_o day_n that_o some_o 117._o scruple_n at_o or_o the_o duty_n require_v in_o they_o for_o they_o much_o desire_v to_o have_v some_o day_n beside_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o meet_v together_o for_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o for_o the_o word_n sake_n can_v be_v content_v to_o endure_v the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o dislike_v be_v first_o the_o obligation_n that_o we_o put_v upon_o man_n for_o the_o observance_n of_o they_o for_o they_o will_v have_v the_o appointment_n and_o observation_n of_o they_o to_o be_v hold_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o no_o duty_n bind_v conscience_n second_o they_o dislike_v the_o name_n that_o we_o give_v they_o in_o that_o we_o style_v they_o the_o day_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o saint_n which_o to_o they_o ibid._n seem_v to_o favour_v of_o idolatry_n neither_o will_v they_o have_v they_o call_v holy_a day_n or_o account_v more_o

obligation_n of_o the_o church_n command_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o obey_v or_o disobey_v they_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v so_o much_o as_o may_v satisfy_v those_o that_o be_v not_o 45._o studious_a of_o contention_n i_o only_o add_v now_o upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o ridiculous_a to_o grant_v the_o church_n a_o power_n of_o ordain_v such_o time_n and_o yet_o to_o require_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o they_o so_o ordain_v be_v hold_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o if_o their_o ordinance_n lie_v no_o tie_n upon_o

first_o that_o the_o festival_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v dedicate_v not_o to_o they_o by_o who_o name_n they_o be_v call_v but_o to_o god_n to_o he_o and_o not_o they_o our_o prayer_n be_v direct_v to_o he_o our_o praise_n though_o for_o they_o and_o with_o reference_n to_o those_o blessing_n which_o by_o they_o be_v vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o we_o honour_v he_o as_o the_o author_n of_o all_o that_o good_a which_o either_o they_o or_o we_o by_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o we_o honour_v they_o only_o as_o his_o instrument_n and_o as_o those_o who_o have_v be_v imitator_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v worthy_a pattern_n of_o our_o imitation_n to_o this_o purpose_n we_o find_v the_o church_n of_o smyrna_n answer_v the_o like_a calumny_n raise_v against_o they_o by_o the_o jew_n upon_o occasion_n of_o their_o affection_n which_o they_o express_v towards_o 2._o that_o glorious_a martyr_n polycarpus_n these_o man_n say_v they_o be_v ignorant_a that_o we_o can_v ever_o leave_v christ_n who_o suffer_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n nor_o can_v we_o worship_v any_o other_o for_o he_o we_o adore_v as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o for_o the_o martyr_n we_o worthy_o love_v they_o as_o disciple_n and_o imitator_n of_o he_o their_o lord_n for_o their_o insuperable_a affection_n towards_o their_o king_n and_o master_n who_o partner_n also_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v and_o to_o become_v their_o disciple_n and_o thus_o much_o they_o may_v easy_o answer_v themselves_o out_o of_o our_o church_n liturgy_n where_o there_o be_v no_o one_o word_n in_o any_o office_n appoint_v for_o any_o saint_n day_n that_o give_v the_o least_o ground_n or_o colour_n to_o this_o scruple_n the_o other_o imputation_n of_o judaism_n which_o they_o tax_v we_o with_o because_o we_o style_v our_o christian_a festival_n holy_a day_n have_v as_o weak_a a_o foundation_n as_o the_o former_a for_o i_o willing_o grant_v they_o what_o they_o allege_v for_o the_o countenance_v of_o this_o objection_n that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n the_o difference_n of_o time_n and_o day_n be_v no_o less_o take_v away_o then_o of_o meat_n that_o be_v as_o we_o have_v now_o no_o meat_n that_o be_v unclean_a either_o in_o themselves_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o positive_a precept_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v eat_v with_o thanksgiving_n so_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o day_n or_o time_n which_o in_o itself_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o such_o judaical_a precept_n be_v now_o to_o be_v account_v more_o holy_a than_o other_o all_o this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o place_n which_o they_o allege_v for_o this_o purpose_n whereupon_o we_o conclude_v that_o none_o of_o the_o jewish_a festival_n not_o the_o sabbath_n itself_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o christian_n nor_o which_o be_v more_o any_o christian_a festival_n to_o be_v observe_v after_o the_o jewish_a manner_n or_o with_o their_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n and_o this_o may_v just_o tax_v they_o who_o stand_v either_o for_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n or_o which_o turn_v the_o lord_n day_n into_o a_o sabbath_n exact_v the_o same_o strictness_n of_o observance_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o outward_a ceremonial_a rest_n but_o it_o can_v no_o way_n prejudice_v the_o church_n in_o consecrate_v day_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n or_o in_o account_v they_o though_o in_o themselves_o and_o set_v aside_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v all_o alike_o 31._o yet_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o they_o more_o holy_a than_o other_o and_o this_o they_o must_v grant_v unless_o they_o will_v affirm_v one_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n now_o under_o the_o 1_o gospel_n be_v not_o so_o great_a so_o glorious_a and_o consequent_o so_o worthy_a of_o set_a time_n for_o their_o solemn_a remembrance_n as_o heretofore_o under_o the_o law_n or_o that_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v now_o less_o power_n 2_o in_o appoint_v day_n for_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o relation_n to_o those_o glorious_a work_n of_o he_o than_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n once_o have_v or_o last_o that_o the_o worship_n which_o we_o christian_n now_o perform_v to_o god_n be_v not_o so_o holy_a as_o that_o 3_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n and_o so_o less_o able_a to_o sanctify_v the_o day_n in_o which_o they_o be_v perform_v but_o every_o one_o of_o these_o being_n most_o absurd_a i_o conclude_v that_o to_o consecrate_v certain_a day_n beside_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o memory_n of_o his_o special_a blessing_n vouchsafe_v to_o the_o church_n on_o such_o day_n and_o to_o account_v such_o day_n so_o consecrate_v more_o holy_a than_o other_o be_v lawful_a and_o free_a from_o all_o superstition_n and_o judaisme_n and_o however_o that_o they_o who_o will_v fain_o affix_v so_o extraordinary_a holiness_n to_o the_o lord_n day_n shall_v of_o all_o man_n have_v abstain_v from_o this_o last_o imputation_n till_o they_o have_v better_o prove_v the_o immediate_o divine_a
at_o all_o take_v those_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o so_o severe_o prohibit_v all_o work_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n as_o if_o they_o do_v no_o less_o belong_v to_o we_o now_o then_o heretofore_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n those_o precept_n threaten_n and_o promise_n which_o concern_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v press_v upon_o we_o point_n blank_a whereas_o indeed_o they_o concern_v we_o only_o indirect_o and_o can_v without_o fetch_v a_o compass_n be_v allege_v at_o all_o for_o our_o sunday_n now_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o express_v as_o it_o be_v apprehend_v for_o the_o strict_a observance_n of_o our_o sunday_n under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o sabbath_n no_o marvel_n if_o man_n have_v make_v it_o a_o prime_a case_n of_o conscience_n and_o that_o so_o many_o scruple_n be_v daily_o raise_v and_o so_o many_o tradition_n broach_v about_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_v of_o the_o sabbath_n about_o the_o work_n of_o a_o man_n particular_a call_v what_o they_o be_v and_o how_o far_o lawful_a on_o that_o day_n what_o be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o the_o day_n and_o the_o like_a for_o the_o clear_a resolution_n therefore_o of_o this_o
