by_o adduce_v some_o argument_n draw_v from_o scripture_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v if_o the_o law_n bind_v under_o the_o new-testament_n not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o matter_n as_o its_o natural_a nor_o only_o as_o it_o be_v repeat_v in_o the_o new-testament_n but_o also_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o authority_n enact_v it_o then_o this_o law_n of_o the_o four_o command_n though_o not_o

bind_v therefore_o the_o last_o must_v be_v true_a also_o 2._o arg._n if_o this_o command_n be_v found_v on_o moral_a ground_n than_o itself_o must_v be_v moral_a but_o the_o ground_n on_o which_o it_o be_v found_v be_v moral_a ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n 1._o it_o be_v moral_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v a_o solemn_a and_o chief_a set-time_n 2._o that_o he_o himself_o and_o none_o other_o shall_v determine_v that_o time_n see_v no_o other_o can_v do_v it_o and_o bless_v it_o 3._o these_o reasons-in_a the_o command_n itself_o divide_v time_n into_o six_o part_n of_o it_o to_o we_o and_o a_o

every_o positive_a duty_n contain_v in_o the_o other_o command_v its_o morality_n therefore_o must_v be_v the_o determine_n of_o â—hat_n definit_a time_n 2._o we_o may_v hence_o
that_o they_o difference_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n from_o other_o day_n and_o one_o day_n 〈◊〉_d special_a be_v call_v the_o lord's-day_n which_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v

14._o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v they_o hasty_o condemn_v in_o day_n more_o than_o meat_n yet_o be_v there_o still_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n and_o other_o meat_n which_o this_o discourse_n of_o the_o apostle_n take_v not_o away_o so_o be_v it_o in_o day_n and_o in_o these_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n and_o

in_o a_o word_n all_o within_o thy_o gate_n look_v not_o only_o to_o master_n and_o all_o in_o their_o family_n or_o within_o their_o door_n but_o to_o magistrate_n and_o governor_n and_o all_o

from_o violate_v this_o day_n hence_o we_o gather_v 1_o that_o idleness_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o will_v hardly_o give_v god_n his_o due_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n who_o be_v not_o

that_o they_o come_v to_o church_n 2._o we_o gather_v that_o humane_a whether_o ecclesiastic_a or_o civil_a appointment_n of_o ordinary_a fix_a day_n for_o worship_n throughout_o the_o whole_a day_n beside_o the_o sabbath_n will_v not_o agree_v with_o this_o command_n allow_v man_n six_o for_o labour_n it_o be_v true_a god_n may_v sovereign_o limit_v man_n but_o where_o he_o have_v give_v

great_a mistake_n in_o the_o pharisee_n that_o they_o place_v the_o main_a part_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o external_a duty_n of_o the_o first_o table_n whereas_o the_o lord_n
