christian_a church_n first_o give_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o real_a preeminence_n above_o the_o old_a sabbath_n say_v 89.90_o say_v m._n j._n walker_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sabbath_n p._n 89.90_o that_o the_o old_a sabbath_n have_v no_o other_o light_n nor_o life_n in_o it_o but_o only_o from_o obscure_a promise_n and_o dark_a shadow_n through_o which_o christ_n be_v see_v as_o thing_n afar_o off_o be_v see_v and_o in_o the_o starlight_n night_n but_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n have_v light_a and_o life_n from_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n who_o in_o it_o rise_v up_o to_o be_v the_o light_n of_o life_n to_o all_o nation_n and_o after_o that_o he_o give_v it_o a_o nominal_a pre-eminence_n under_o the_o title_n lord_n day_n 91._o day_n ib._n p._n 90_o 91._o god_n say_v he_o have_v give_v it_o a_o most_o honourable_a name_n and_o title_n above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n and_o divine_a apostle_n saint_n john_n who_o be_v the_o intimate_a belove_a and_o bosom_n disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v best_o know_v his_o mind_n call_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n revel_v 1.10_o and_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d lord_n be_v the_o same_o in_o signification_n with_o god_n proper_a name_n jehovah_n and_o most_o common_o be_v use_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o express_v that_o sacred_a name_n and_o if_o that_o day_n and_o name_n both_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o that_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o denomination_n shall_v be_v take_v according_a to_o it_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v call_v it_o rather_o lord_n day_n then_o sabbath_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o howsoever_o the_o new_a sabbath_n be_v in_o many_o respect_n more_o excellent_a than_o the_o old_a yet_o the_o name_n sabbath_n may_v be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o they_o both_o second_o that_o if_o name_v lord_n day_n be_v a_o more_o excellent_a name_n then_o the_o name_n sabbath_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v it_o shall_v be_v more_o usual_a &_o ordinary_a for_o there_o be_v many_o other_o intimatious_a of_o moment_n for_o the_o use_n of_o a_o name_n as_o before_o we_o have_v note_v and_o for_o instance_n though_o the_o name_n son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o more_o excellent_a name_n then_o son_n of_o man_n yet_o our_o saviour_n who_o best_o know_v how_o to_o speak_v for_o he_o speak_v as_o no_o man_n ever_o do_v john_n 7.46_o call_v himself_o often_o son_n of_o man_n than_o son_n of_o god_n three_o the_o name_n sabbath_n do_v import_v more_o clear_o and_o assure_o a_o weekly_a holiday_n as_o we_o observe_v it_o than_o the_o name_n lord_n day_n do_v for_o that_o be_v questionable_a as_o before_o we_o have_v show_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o day_n of_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n or_o no_o and_o if_o that_o be_v resolve_v on_o then_o whether_o it_o note_v that_o individual_a day_n only_o on_o which_o he_o arise_v or_o other_o day_n also_o that_o succeed_v it_o and_o if_o other_o whether_o only_o a_o anniversary_n day_n as_o easter_n or_o a_o weekly_a day_n as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v and_o have_v be_v since_o it_o be_v first_o ordain_v but_o the_o word_n sabbath_n without_o all_o question_n signify_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n among_o six_o day_n of_o labour_n and_o so_o one_o set_v day_n within_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o week_n four_o the_o name_n sabbath_n be_v the_o title_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o be_v the_o best_a warrant_n for_o a_o weekly_a holiday_n and_o which_o prescribe_v our_o duty_n both_o for_o what_o we_o must_v forbear_v and_o what_o perform_v and_o press_v it_o by_o many_o effectual_a reason_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o use_v than_o any_o other_o which_o in_o such_o material_a consideration_n be_v not_o comparable_a to_o it_o five_o the_o name_n sabbath_n guide_v we_o to_o the_o four_o commandment_n will_v bring_v we_o ready_o to_o the_o title_n lord_n day_n as_o before_o have_v be_v observe_v but_o the_o name_n lord_n day_n in_o that_o text_n where_o it_o be_v note_v viz._n revel_v 1.10_o the_o chief_a if_o not_o the_o only_a text_n for_o that_o title_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n give_v none_o intimation_n of_o a_o sabbath_n neither_o in_o deed_n nor_o in_o name_n therefore_o the_o name_n sabbath_n as_o more_o significant_a and_o monitory_a be_v fit_a for_o instruction_n and_o use_n than_o the_o name_n lord_n day_n be_v six_o for_o such_o reason_n as_o these_o or_o some_o other_o of_o like_a importance_n the_o forecited_n author_n use_v the_o name_n sabbath_n more_o frequent_o throughout_o his_o whole_a book_n than_o any_o other_o whatsoever_o and_o set_v it_o as_o the_o title_n in_o the_o high_a place_n of_o every_o page_n though_o no_o man_n express_v a_o dear_a affection_n to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n than_o he_o do_v last_o he_o so_o far_o approve_v of_o the_o name_n sabbath_n for_o our_o weekly_a holiday_n that_o he_o set_v upon_o they_o who_o say_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o call_v sabbath_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n next_o to_o the_o

fortify_v objection_n against_o that_o name_n as_o apply_v to_o the_o day_n of_o our_o christian_a devotion_n i_o can_v find_v nothing_o more_o which_o be_v of_o any_o weight_n or_o worth_n to_o be_v object_v or_o answer_v concern_v the_o comparison_n of_o the_o name_n of_o sabbath_n sunday_n and_o lord_n day_n and_o the_o resolution_n for_o the_o name_n sabbath_n of_o which_o we_o may_v now_o i_o hope_v without_o all_o appearance_n of_o partiality_n or_o presumption_n conclude_v that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n be_v of_o best_a use_n to_o support_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o our_o christian_a holiday_n both_o for_o the_o time_n and_o tenure_n of_o it_o for_o discovery_n of_o duty_n require_v on_o it_o and_o for_o incitement_n to_o the_o conscionable_a practice_n of_o they_o according_o and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o the_o contrary_a determination_n of_o 164._o of_o better_o by_o far_o and_o far_o less_o danger_n to_o be_v fear_v in_o call_v it_o the_o sunday_n as_o the_o
