we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o who_o time_n the_o christian_n be_v far_o more_o beholden_a to_o god_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v since_o god_n have_v discharge_v

that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o foresay_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v obligatory_a for_o ever_o for_o to_o dedicate_v to_o god_n precise_o a_o seven_o day_n after_o we_o have_v bestow_v six_o

its_o own_o nature_n special_o to_o christian_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o consecrate_v to_o god_n one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o or_o of_o four_o for_o the_o more_o we_o hallow_v to_o god_n the_o more_o do_v we_o that_o which_o be_v just_a equitable_a and_o well_o order_v and_o the_o more_o do_v we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o be_v natural_o bind_v unto_o towards_o he_o if_o

three_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o labour_n of_o six_o day_n establish_v not_o unto_o we_o any_o ceremony_n as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o it_o make_v as_o

two_o sort_n the_o one_o that_o be_v found_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o oblige_v all_o man_n natural_o the_o other_o that_o be_v of_o a_o positive_a law_n depend_v on_o institution_n and_o notwithstanding_o be_v part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o a_o perpetual_a necessity_n and_o of_o a_o immutable_a right_n as_o well_o as_o all_o other_o moral_a precept_n be_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o it_o be_v moral_a be_v of_o far_o great_a extension_n than_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v moral_a in_o this_o last_o sort_n 3_o but_o first_o they_o speak_v against_o the_o ordinary_a sense_n and_o custom_n of_o all_o man_n who_o by_o the_o word_n moral_a understand_v that_o which_o be_v natural_o and_o universal_o just_a that_o be_v which_o reason_n when_o it_o be_v not_o mislead_v and_o the_o inward_a law_n of_o nature_n dictate_v by_o common_a principle_n of_o honesty_n or_o aught_o to_o dictate_v to_o all_o man_n of_o itself_o without_o any_o outward_a usher_n this_o law_n all_o man_n take_v for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o reciprocal_o they_o take_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o this_o law_n which_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o ordinary_a and_o common_a distinction_n that_o all_o divine_n make_v between_o the_o moral_a ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n which_o in_o former_a time_n god_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o which_o distinction_n they_o refer_v to_o the_o last_o hand_n and_o sort_n all_o the_o positive_a ordinance_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a government_n and_o to_o the_o first_o the_o ordinance_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereof_o these_o other_o be_v circumstantial_a appendix_n and_o determination_n nay_o moral_a signify_v only_o the_o duty_n of_o essential_a godliness_n and_o righteousness_n in_o thing_n belong_v natural_o to_o good_a and_o holy_a manner_n towards_o god_n or_o towards_o man_n whether_o in_o do_v good_a or_o depart_v from_o evil_n and_o not_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v useful_a and_o in_o some_o sort_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a behaviour_n otherwise_o thing_n ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a as_o such_o shall_v not_o be_v distinguish_v from_o moral_a thing_n for_o these_o also_o have_v a_o useful_a reference_n to_o the_o foresay_a duty_n of_o good_a and_o godly_a behaviour_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n although_o advow_v to_o be_v a_o positive_a law_n be_v notwithstanding_o call_v moral_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o

they_o have_v confess_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o positive_a law_n ground_v only_o on_o the_o order_n and_o discipline_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o establish_v they_o

and_o nature_n give_v it_o unto_o they_o will_v any_o divine_a any_o lawgiver_n any_o logician_n make_v of_o this_o a_o problem_n and_o hold_v for_o the_o affirmative_a away_o with_o sophistry_n and_o captious_a deal_n it_o must_v be_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n that_o match_v positive_a with_o natural_a law_n and_o mark_v they_o with_o the_o silver_n stamp_n of_o immutability_n now_o if_o god_n have_v not_o communicate_v this_o dignity_n with_o any_o positive_a law_n ordain_v by_o he_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o this_o day_n what_o appearance_n be_v there_o that_o

second_o answer_n unto_o it_o 1_o my_o three_o argument_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o the_o gentile_n never_o know_v by_o natural_a light_n nor_o also_o by_o tradition_n come_v unto_o

sure_o if_o it_o be_v a_o morality_n and_o a_o point_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o if_o god_n have_v prescribe_v it_o by_o a_o particular_a commandment_n to_o adam_n will_v he_o to_o

to_o the_o like_a see_v there_o be_v a_o like_a reason_n for_o they_o and_o for_o he_o yea_o all_o his_o progeny_n and_o successor_n in_o who_o abide_v still_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n although_o

knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o in_o themselves_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o of_o all_o moral_a precept_n 2_o they_o have_v know_v that_o one_o
his_o own_o pleasure_n but_o in_o the_o extreme_a necessity_n of_o his_o just_a and_o reasonable_a interest_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o man_n be_v not_o make_v in_o that_o respect_n for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o that_o the_o say_a sanctification_n be_v subject_a to_o he_o now_o this_o be_v the_o point_n in_o question_n to_o wit_n whether_o to_o keep_v

most_o true_a but_o our_o question_n be_v not_o about_o this_o kind_n of_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n neither_o be_v it_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o be_v equal_o

the_o main_a point_n that_o we_o treat_v of_o pro_fw-la and_o contra_fw-la can_v be_v moral_a see_v it_o yield_v and_o submit_v itself_o to_o the_o moral_a duty_n of_o every_o day_n and_o for_o

world_n to_o redeem_v man_n and_o the_o apostle_n blame_v the_o galatian_n universal_o for_o observe_v such_o day_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o other_o day_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v except_v if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o other_o obligatory_a nay_o he_o blame_v they_o not_o for_o keep_v they_o after_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a

but_o for_o keep_v they_o for_o religion_n sake_n and_o his_o reprehension_n be_v such_o a_o one_o that_o the_o right_a thing_n he_o aim_v at_o in_o it_o be_v to_o condemn_v the_o observation_n of_o any_o day_n whatsoever_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o religion_n and_o conscience_n sake_n in_o reference_n to_o any_o obligation_n from_o the_o day_n itself_o the_o foundation_n of_o his_o reproof_n as_o appear_v manifest_o by_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o his_o discourse_n be_v this_o that_o to_o be_v religious_a about_o day_n and_o to_o be_v tie_v unto_o they_o by_o god_n command_n be_v a_o point_n of_o bondage_n belong_v to_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o liberty_n can_v suffer_v this_o bondage_n therefore_o he_o

will_v have_v the_o choice_n and_o settle_v of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o to_o depend_v on_o their_o liberty_n and_o leave_v that_o to_o their_o zeal_n and_o wisdom_n even_o as_o it_o be_v their_o great_a prerogative_n that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o free_a from_o all_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n which_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v love_v they_o more_o and_o will_v not_o use_v they_o
