that_o thus_o beat_v their_o head_n against_o the_o wall_n little_o think_v upon_o this_o that_o god_n here_o promise_v that_o those_o which_o keep_v his_o sabbath_n shall_v be_v bless_v if_o they_o

to_o mount_v upon_o the_o high_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o will_v feed_v they_o with_o the_o heritage_n of_o jacob_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v when_o he_o be_v at_o

§_o sect._n 16_o but_o yet_o in_o do_v these_o work_n of_o necessity_n three_o thing_n must_v diligent_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o necessity_n caution_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o do_v the_o work_n of_o

but_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o night_n also_o for_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o day_n natural_a of_o which_o here_o be_v mention_v for_o so_o moses_n gen._n 1._o account_v the_o evening_n and_o

therefore_o the_o night_n must_v be_v keep_v holy_a aswell_o as_o the_o day_n for_o that_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n therefore_o psalm_n 92_o which_o be_v call_v a_o psalm_n of_o the_o

neither_o yet_o do_v i_o speak_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v keep_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o paul_n do_v i_o know_v it_o well_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o yet_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o night_n we_o be_v more_o holy_o to_o repose_v ourselves_o that_o night_n than_o at_o other_o time_n a_o fault_n in_o those_o that_o other_o night_n pray_v

demand_v when_o the_o sabbath_n begin_v and_o whether_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o night_n before_o the_o sabbath_n or_o the_o night_n follow_v answ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o night_n before_o the_o day_n for_o levit_fw-la 23._o 32._o from_o even_o to_o even_o shall_v you_o celebrate_v your_o sabbath_n but_o we_o begin_v our_o sabbath_n at_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o christ_n rise_v in_o the_o dawn_n it_o be_v necessary_a our_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o remembrance_n thereof_o that_o our_o day_n shall_v then_o begin_v second_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o the_o true_a christian_a sabbath_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o shall_v begin_v at_o morning_n when_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n the_o world_n begin_v to_o be_v renew_v whereas_o the_o other_o begin_v at_o night_n when_o the_o world_n in_o the_o creation_n be_v finish_v three_o that_o the_o night_n follow_v be_v account_v a_o part_n of_o the_o day_n precedent_n we_o see_v act._n 20._o vers_fw-la 7._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o paul_n preach_v at_o troas_n until_o midnight_n be_v the_o next_o morning_n to_o depart_v have_v stay_v there_o as_o the_o text_n show_v vers_n 6._o seven_o day_n but_o if_o the_o last_o night_n have_v not_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n than_o he_o have_v stay_v at_o least_o a_o night_n long_o than_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o more_o than_o seven_o day_n for_o he_o shall_v have_v stay_v part_n of_o another_o day_n but_o that_o this_o night_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o then_o keep_v do_v yet_o further_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v this_o night_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o sabbath_n with_o perform_v the_o exercise_n of_o holiness_n therein_o as_o also_o in_o that_o be_v to_o depart_v he_o will_v not_o depart_v till_o the_o rest_n be_v end_v which_o i_o observe_v in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v ver_fw-la 11_o that_o he_o commune_v with_o they_o till_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n and_o so_o depart_v both_o which_o circumstance_n concur_v well_o with_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o he_o hold_v the_o night_n follow_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v say_v that_o by_o this_o reason_n we_o may_v justify_v the_o delivery_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n in_o the_o night_n i_o grant_v it_o the_o time_n be_v as_o this_o be_v a_o time_n of_o persecution_n otherwise_o not_o but_o this_o to_o keep_v the_o night_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o night_n i_o take_v to_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a but_o a_o ordinary_a thing_n such_o as_o be_v now_o also_o require_v of_o we_o and_o i_o press_v it_o no_o further_o than_o to_o show_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n from_o which_o we_o ought_v not_o rash_o or_o unaduised_o to_o dissent_v and_o this_o have_v be_v observe_v ever_o sithence_o the_o
