and_o it_o do_v especial_o clear_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o right_a object_n of_o worship_n it_o be_v jehova_n elohim_n the_o lord_n that_o show_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o

it_o must_v be_v make_v up_o again_o which_o only_o can_v be_v do_v in_o christ_n and_o it_o say_v also_o that_o this_o relation_n to_o god_n in_o he_o and_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n can_v consist_v well_o together_o 3._o it_o clear_v what_o be_v the_o right_a and_o great_a motive_n of_o obedience_n to_o wit_n the_o benefit_n of_o redemption_n love_n and_o thankfulness_n upon_o that_o

the_o second_o commandment_n and_o the_o four_o commandment_n have_v reason_n press_v obedience_n annex_v to_o they_o which_o none_o of_o the_o other_o have_v at_o least_o express_o set_v down_o by_o the_o lord_n answ_n this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n because_o all_o the_o other_o commandment_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n determine_v in_o man_n conscience_n and_o the_o sin_n against_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n light_n see_v to_o be_v evil_a but_o the_o substance_n of_o these_o two_o to_o wit_n what_o way_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o external_o and_o on_o what_o day_n as_o the_o solemn_a time_n of_o worship_n be_v determine_v by_o god_n positive_a law_n they_o be_v not_o so_o impress_v on_o man_n conscience_n as_o the_o duty_n require_v in_o the_o other_o commandment_n be_v therefore_o the_o lord_n add_v reason_n to_o each_o of_o these_o to_o persuade_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o as_o to_o the_o second_o i_o be_o a_o jealous_a god_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o decline_v from_o i_o even_o in_o external_o and_o to_o the_o four_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o i_o have_v put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o it_o and_o other_o day_n though_o before_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v further_o amplify_v in_o the_o text_n now_o by_o this_o reason_n which_o be_v also_o give_v by_o the_o schoolman_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o second_o commandment_n concern_v outward_a worship_n according_a to_o our_o way_n of_o distinguish_v they_o iâ—_n distinct_a from_o the_o first_o which_o require_v the_o inward_a worship_n due_a to_o god_n for_o the_o first_o commandment_n be_v moral-natural_a and_o can_v never_o be_v alter_v and_o have_v as_o much_o impression_n on_o a_o natural_a conscience_n as_o any_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o ground_n need_v no_o reason_n three_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v also_o that_o some_o commandment_n have_v promise_n add_v to_o they_o which_o other_o have_v not_o not_o that_o any_o commandment_n want_v imply_v encouragement_n but_o in_o some_o they_o be_v express_v as_o in_o the_o second_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o thousand_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o five_o that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o etc._n etc._n the_o reason_n give_v why_o promise_n be_v particular_o express_v in_o these_o two_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o these_o two_o seem_v to_o bring_v most_o hurt_v to_o man_n and_o be_v most_o contrary_a to_o their_o corrupt_a will_n and_o affection_n it_o seem_v not_o so_o prejucidial_a nor_o be_v it_o so_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n that_o man_n love_v god_n and_o fear_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v outward_o to_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n and_o that_o by_o adhere_v close_o to_o the_o true_a manner_n of_o worship_v he_o this_o make_v man_n obnoxious_a to_o persecution_n cross_n loss_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v serious_o take_v up_o in_o the_o external_o of_o godliness_n sometime_o bring_v much_o prejudice_n with_o it_o and_o be_v to_o many_o troublesome_a and_o so_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o superior_n and_o tender_a of_o inferiors_n be_v not_o easy_o condescend_v unto_o therefore_o god_n to_o counterbalance_v the_o difficulty_n that_o accompany_v the_o obedience_n of_o these_o two_o commandment_n have_v add_v promise_n to_o they_o the_o more_o to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o the_o four_o thing_n we_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o some_o commandment_n have_v threaten_n express_v in_o they_o which_o other_o have_v not_o as_o the_o second_o and_o the_o three_o not_o that_o any_o commandment_n want_v imply_v threaten_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o man_n ordinary_o count_v light_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o these_o two_o commandment_n if_o they_o be_v as_o they_o think_v honest_a at_o the_o heart_n though_o they_o be_v very_o negligent_a and_o careless_a in_o many_o outward_a thing_n and_o though_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n they_o be_v very_o slight_a and_o perfunctorious_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v to_o the_o true_a god_n they_o think_v the_o less_o of_o

not_o mention_v particular_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n must_v be_v bind_v also_o for_o it_o have_v that_o same_o authority_n but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a and_o be_v acknowledge_v general_o by_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

and_o bless_v it_o 3._o these_o reason_n in_o 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 seven_o part_n to_o god_n and_o god_n rest_v after_o six_o

this_o command_n contain_v a_o moral_a duty_n which_o be_v in_o none_o of_o the_o precede_a command_n to_o wit_n the_o stint_n and_o determine_v of_o the_o solemn_a and_o chief_a time_n to_o be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o god_n worship_n to_o be_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o it_o be_v true_a time_n be_v command_v to_o be_v allow_v to_o god_n worship_n in_o those_o other_o command_v wherein_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n themselves_o be_v command_v for_o worship_n can_v be_v perform_v more_o than_o any_o other_o duty_n without_o some_o time_n but_o that_o the_o chief_a time_n shall_v be_v so_o

therefore_o must_v be_v the_o determine_n of_o that_o definit_a time_n 2._o we_o may_v hence_o see_v a_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v no_o new_a command_n for_o this_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o this_o stand_v in_o the_o law_n neither_o be_v thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v kill_v &c_n &c_n mention_v as_o new_a command_n more_o than_o this_o so_o that_o have_v they_o not_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o some_o be_v not_o yet_o have_v they_o still_o oblige_v it_o be_v just_a so_o as_o to_o this_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v mention_v may_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v because_o the_o main_a fault_n about_o they_o be_v defect_n and_o short_a come_n but_o in_o this_o it_o be_v excess_n which_o our_o lord_n also_o regulate_v by_o hold_v forth_o
