upon_o record_n after_o christ_n ascension_n be_v not_o then_o this_o day_n a_o day_n of_o blessing_n be_v there_o ever_o a_o more_o eminent_a blessing_n or_o any_o like_a unto_o it_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o last_o of_o seven_o whatever_o impression_n this_o make_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o i_o know_v not_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v i_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o very_o worthy_a of_o serious_a consideration_n 2_o dly_z second_o beside_o those_o reason_n in_o the_o commandment_n you_o add_v further_o 1._o the_o name_n and_o thing_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o seven_o day_n 2._o that_o no_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o observer_n of_o any_o other_o day_n no_o threaten_v denounce_v against_o any_o that_o shall_v not_o observe_v any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o week_n as_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n but_o only_o the_o seven_o which_o be_v the_o last_o day_n a._n to_o all_o these_o i_o answer_v from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v 1._o first_o as_o for_o the_o name_n and_o thing_n this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o observe_v at_o first_o and_o by_o this_o i_o be_o further_a confirm_v in_o it_o that_o you_o apprehend_v the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n i._n e._n the_o day_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n be_v term_n convertible_a which_o to_o i_o be_v not_o yet_o prove_v though_o i_o have_v consider_v your_o paper_n from_o end_n to_o end_n and_o i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o yet_o believe_v and_o must_v needs_o believe_v till_o i_o see_v they_o answer_v that_o another_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o and_o that_o by_o divine_a authority_n so_o that_o though_o once_o they_o be_v yet_o now_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v no_o long_o term_n convertible_a 2_o dly_z second_o as_o to_o that_o which_o you_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n for_o any_o other_o day_n i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o my_o sense_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o no_o day_n be_v institute_v there_o first_o or_o last_o or_o so_o much_o as_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o direct_o enjoin_v there_o but_o only_o by_o consequence_n because_o former_o institute_v so_o that_o both_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o commandment_n reach_v the_o first_o of_o seven_o as_o well_o as_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o see_v before_o 3_o dly_z three_o you_o say_v there_o be_v no_o promise_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o any_o day_n nor_o threaten_v against_o the_o not_o observe_v of_o any_o day_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o only_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o a._n i_o answer_v first_o to_o speak_v proper_o as_o i_o observe_v you_o do_v so_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o day_n but_o to_o the_o right_a observer_n of_o it_o in_o the_o duty_n that_o god_n appoint_v now_o the_o duty_n fall_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o faith_n therein_o already_o the_o blessing_n annex_v to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o fall_v upon_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o and_o have_v be_v give_v forth_o eminent_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o as_o i_o have_v show_v 2_o dly_z second_o i_o answer_v far_o that_o as_o i_o find_v no_o blessing_n promise_v to_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o the_o old_a administration_n but_o what_o be_v then_o apply_v only_o to_o the_o right_a use_n of_o circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n nor_o any_o thing_n against_o any_o profaner_n or_o contemner_n of_o any_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o those_o that_o contemn_a circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o you_o believe_v the_o promise_n i_o mean_v especial_o the_o spiritual_a promise_n annex_v to_o the_o old_a seal_n the_o right_a observer_n of_o the_o new_a seal_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n may_v in_o faith_n apply_v to_o themselves_o and_o the_o threaten_n against_o the_o contemner_n of_o the_o old_a seal_n those_o that_o contemn_v or_o profane_v the_o new_a seal_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_n may_v fall_v upon_o they_o even_o so_o the_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o threaten_n against_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o transgressor_n and_o the_o observer_n of_o the_o new_a sabbath_n the_o first_o of_o seven_o whatever_o be_v write_v be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n 3_o dly_z i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o that_o god_n have_v put_v this_o commandment_n for_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o into_o nature_n which_o if_o you_o have_v explain_v as_o it_o seem_v you_o understand_v it_o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n quote_v have_v clear_o prove_v it_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v have_v be_v silent_a and_o with_o a_o little_a more_o help_n i_o think_v shall_v have_v close_v with_o you_o upon_o the_o whole_a in_o this_o matter_n but_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o to_o i_o your_o expression_n be_v somewhat_o dark_a and_o your_o proof_n exceed_v short_a 1._o first_o that_o your_o way_n of_o express_v yourself_o be_v somewhat_o dark_a for_o you_o say_v god_n have_v put_v this_o into_o nature_n but_o you_o do_v not_o express_v what_o i_o do_v not_o clear_o understand_v whether_o you_o mean_v that_o be_v moral_a natural_a in_o the_o four_o commandment_n or_o which_o be_v moral_a positive_a 2_o dly_z second_o your_o proof_n especial_o from_o rom._n 1.20_o psalm_n 19_o rom._n 10.18_o john_n 1.9_o seem_v to_o be_v intend_v for_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a natural_a and_o there_o be_v some_o other_o scripture_n which_o to_o i_o have_v not_o the_o least_o appearance_n pardon_v i_o if_o i_o say_v so_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o expression_n in_o your_o further_o enlarge_n upon_o this_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v for_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a positive_a for_o thus_o you_o say_v that_o natural_a reason_n will_v tell_v i_o that_o see_v all_o man_n in_o all_o nation_n do_v measure_v their_o time_n by_o week_n and_o their_o week_n by_o seven_o day_n that_o they_o shall_v beside_o what_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n every_o day_n in_o every_o week_n set_v apart_o a_o day_n unto_o their_o maker_n who_o have_v allow_v such_o a_o liberal_a portion_n unto_o they_o for_o themselves_o herein_o you_o will_v find_v that_o i_o do_v both_o assent_n and_o consent_n unto_o you_o when_o i_o have_v a_o little_a explain_v what_o i_o apprehend_v to_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o moral_a natural_a and_o moral_a positive_a law_n 1_o first_o moral_n natural_a law_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v these_o which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n consist_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o principle_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o that_o light_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v just_a and_o good_a though_o they_o have_v never_o be_v write_v in_o the_o word_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o this_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o god_n thus_o much_o your_o proof_n especial_o that_o rom._n 1.20_o clear_o prove_v thus_o far_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v moral_a natural_a the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v man_n that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n a_o time_n of_o rest_n from_o all_o other_o employment_n a_o set_a time_n that_o must_v return_v according_a to_o some_o computation_n of_o time_n either_o week_n or_o month_n or_o year_n let_v it_o be_v grant_v for_o week_n though_o i_o will_v glad_o see_v some_o far_a proof_n for_o that_o than_o yet_o i_o have_v see_v this_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n even_o now_o corrupt_v either_o do_v acknowledge_v or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o by_o argument_n draw_v from_o these_o principle_n which_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n when_o he_o be_v rational_o urge_v with_o such_o principle_n as_o these_o as_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a aught_o to_o be_v follow_v and_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v evil_a aught_o to_o be_v avoid_v i_o mean_v such_o thing_n the_o goodness_n or_o evil_n whereof_o arise_v mere_o from_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v so_o though_o the_o one_o have_v never_o be_v command_v nor_o the_o other_o have_v never_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o word_n this_o be_v clear_a from_o that_o place_n you_o quote_v rom._n 2.14_o 15._o be_v please_v to_o consider_v the_o place_n and_o i_o believe_v herein_o you_o will_v both_o assent_v and_o consent_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o

institution_n of_o sacrifice_n before_o abel_n sacrifice_v though_o it_o be_v not_o record_v when_o because_o god_n accept_v his_o sacrifice_n so_o he_o have_v accept_v the_o service_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o first_o of_o seven_o and_o bless_v it_o as_o eminent_o he_o do_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v when_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o your_o reason_n why_o then_o may_v he_o not_o institute_v this_o day_n though_o it_o be_v not_o express_v when_o or_o where_o what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o it_o but_o that_o he_o may_v do_v in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o though_o it_o be_v not_o record_v why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v think_v to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v to_o say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n and_o without_o he_o do_v say_v to_o they_o afterward_o because_o they_o be_v not_o then_o able_a to_o bear_v they_o john_n 16.12_o sure_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o that_o nation_n have_v such_o a_o high_a esteem_n of_o will_v hardly_o then_o have_v be_v receive_v by_o they_o 4._o four_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v very_o evident_a that_o the_o day_n be_v change_v either_o by_o christ_n own_o immediate_a appointment_n or_o by_o his_o apostle_n as_o they_o be_v guide_v and_o direct_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o they_o receive_v according_a to_o that_o promise_n john_n 16.13_o and_o what_o they_o do_v teach_v and_o practice_v as_o thus_o guide_v and_o direct_v aught_o to_o be_v receive_v and_o believe_v as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v immediate_o do_v by_o christ_n himself_o as_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o six_o proposition_n 5._o five_o and_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n be_v thus_o appoint_v either_o by_o christ_n immediate_o or_o by_o his_o apostle_n as_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n these_o follow_a particular_n seem_v to_o i_o undeniable_o to_o prove_v it_o 1._o first_o by_o the_o apostle_n practice_n let_v that_o be_v serious_o consider_v as_o it_o be_v record_v in_o several_a place_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o that_o act_v 20.7_o it_o be_v there_o say_v that_o when_o paul_n come_v to_o troas_n where_o he_o abide_v seven_o day_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v infallible_o prove_v to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n when_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n paul_n preach_v i_o desire_v this_o text_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n it_o be_v some_o grief_n to_o i_o to_o think_v how_o slight_o as_o i_o hear_v within_o these_o few_o day_n some_o turn_n it_o off_o for_o if_o it_o be_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v serious_o consider_v of_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o have_v much_o weight_n in_o it_o for_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o text_n that_o paul_n continue_v there_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o be_v there_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n that_o either_o he_o or_o the_o church_n take_v any_o notice_n of_o it_o more_o than_o of_o any_o other_o of_o the_o six_o day_n but_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n the_o work_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v carry_v on_o paul_n both_o preach_a and_o administer_a the_o lord_n supper_n if_o this_o have_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o that_o he_o have_v begin_v his_o journey_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n it_o have_v make_v very_o much_o for_o the_o establish_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n whereas_o now_o it_o make_v much_o for_o the_o establish_n of_o the_o new_a and_o christian_a sabbath_n if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o such_o express_a instance_n of_o paul_n baptise_v but_o one_o infant_n in_o any_o of_o the_o christian_a church_n i_o think_v it_o will_v have_v prevail_v much_o with_o those_o that_o be_v humble_a conscientious_a and_o godly_a as_o i_o believe_v many_o be_v that_o scruple_n much_o the_o administration_n of_o that_o ordinance_n to_o any_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v profession_n of_o their_o faith_n if_o i_o say_v there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o such_o instance_n so_o plain_a and_o evident_a in_o the_o scripture_n it_o will_v probable_o have_v prevail_v much_o with_o they_o though_o there_o be_v argument_n sufficient_a in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o plain_a to_o they_o they_o will_v it_o may_v charitable_o be_v suppose_v have_v yield_v that_o such_o a_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v do_v this_o without_o warrant_n unless_o he_o have_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o yet_o you_o see_v we_o have_v it_o for_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o shall_v this_o signify_v nothing_o surely_n what_o ever_o it_o do_v with_o other_o it_o signify_v much_o with_o i_o 2._o second_o it_o be_v far_o observe_v that_o the_o one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o disciple_n speak_v of_o act_n 1._o and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o more_o with_o they_o meet_v together_o distinct_o from_o the_o jew_n and_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n with_o they_o but_o together_o by_o themselves_o and_o this_o they_o do_v with_o one_o accord_n as_o we_o read_v act_v 2.1_o and_o this_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o may_v be_v undeniable_o demonstrate_v the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v bury_v on_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o six_o day_n that_o day_n be_v the_o first_o in_o the_o passion_n week_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n christ_n rest_v in_o the_o grave_n this_o be_v the_o second_o day_n in_o the_o passion_n week_n in_o which_o the_o first_o fruit_n sheaf_n of_o be_v wave_v before_o the_o lord_n levit._n 23.11_o and_o from_o this_o day_n they_o begin_v to_o count_v their_o seven_o week_n to_o pentecost_n as_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n vers_fw-la 15_o 16._o and_o which_o shall_v be_v observe_v this_o day_n christ_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o become_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_n 1_o cor._n 15.20_o which_o be_v count_v seven_o time_n the_o fifty_o day_n be_v just_a the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o the_o disciple_n thus_o meet_v together_o to_o observe_v it_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n which_o without_o doubt_n they_o know_v to_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n 3._o three_o the_o disciple_n meet_v together_o twice_o on_o the_o two_o first_o day_n of_o the_o two_o first_o week_n immediate_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o first_o time_n they_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n but_o shut_v the_o door_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o of_o the_o information_n of_o the_o soldier_n against_o they_o that_o they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o it_o all_o thing_n consider_v but_o that_o they_o know_v the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n at_o their_o second_o meeting_n and_o that_o then_o they_o shut_v the_o door_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o same_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v and_o as_o they_o themselves_o former_o have_v do_v thus_o much_o of_o the_o apostle_n practice_n now_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o ever_o they_o give_v any_o respect_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o the_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n after_o christ_n resurrection_n that_o of_o their_o preach_v sometime_o on_o that_o day_n be_v upon_o another_o account_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v already_o neither_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o any_o other_o do_v by_o what_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v true_a those_o holy_a woman_n mention_v in_o the_o evangelist_n observe_v it_o to_o the_o last_o even_o to_o the_o day_n before_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n christ_n be_v not_o rise_v and_o for_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o show_v all_o respect_n after_o the_o resurrection_n to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o none_o to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o and_o further_o it_o be_v not_o nothing_o what_o be_v record_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o that_o he_o

i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o sense_n wherein_o i_o conceive_v the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v thus_o we_o must_v not_o understand_v this_o proper_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n for_o the_o infinite_a glorious_a divine_a essence_n cease_v no_o more_o to_o work_v than_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n neither_o do_v he_o rest_v as_o man_n do_v because_o he_o be_v weary_a isa_n 40.28_o we_o be_v therefore_o to_o understand_v his_o cease_n to_o create_v from_o the_o work_n of_o providence_n order_v and_o dispose_v all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v he_o never_o rest_v according_a to_o that_o joh._n 5.17_o have_v thus_o give_v you_o the_o sense_n now_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o conceive_v that_o this_o example_n of_o god_n rest_v be_v not_o allege_v here_o to_o lay_v a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o conscience_n that_o the_o same_o day_n wherein_o he_o rest_v which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o ever_o 1._o first_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o relate_v to_o what_o god_n himself_o do_v rather_o than_o any_o way_n propound_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o you_o urge_v it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o parallel_n scripture_n wherein_o the_o example_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v 1._o cor._n 11.23_o we_o have_v there_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o and_o how_o it_o be_v institute_v repeat_v out_o of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o christ_n example_n be_v relate_v as_o to_o the_o time_n when_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o night_n but_o in_o that_o particular_a night_n in_o which_o he_o be_v betray_v now_o this_o be_v not_o record_v as_o a_o bind_a rule_n for_o our_o imitation_n for_o then_o night_n administration_n shall_v not_o only_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n be_v observe_v but_o that_o particular_a night_n in_o which_o he_o be_v betray_v which_o be_v common_o call_v with_o we_o thursday_n night_n which_o be_v more_o than_o ever_o i_o hear_v that_o any_o one_o practise_v as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o act_n 20.7_o this_o example_n of_o christ_n then_o seem_v to_o be_v historical_o relate_v and_o whether_o the_o like_a may_v not_o be_v say_v of_o god_n example_n in_o the_o commandment_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v but_o 2._o second_o though_o god_n exemple_n be_v historical_o relate_v yet_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v relate_v for_o some_o special_a end_n and_o purpose_n as_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o forementioned_a scripture_n be_v without_o all_o doubt_n mention_v upon_o the_o high_a ground_n of_o reason_n which_o to_o speak_v of_o here_o though_o it_o may_v be_v of_o good_a use_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v a_o digression_n from_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o the_o special_a end_n and_o purpose_n why_o god_n example_n be_v here_o relate_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o even_o to_o show_v that_o what_o be_v require_v in_o the_o commandment_n be_v equal_a and_o reasonable_a and_o for_o man_n good_a the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n be_v often_o call_v judgement_n as_o for_o other_o reason_n so_o special_o i_o think_v for_o this_o to_o show_v that_o god_n require_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a thus_o god_n reason_n the_o case_n with_o those_o ezek._n 18_o 25._o hear_v you_o i_o o_o house_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o my_o way_n equal_a and_o therefore_o certain_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o argument_n from_o god_n example_n which_o do_v best_a show_v the_o equity_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o to_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o observe_v it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o true_a sense_n now_o to_o argue_v that_o because_o god_n wrought_v the_o six_o first_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o then_o rest_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o this_o carry_v no_o convince_a reason_n with_o it_o that_o therefore_o we_o ought_v first_o to_o work_n six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o then_o to_o rest_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n reason_n right_a reason_n if_o that_o alone_o be_v to_o judge_v will_v rather_o judge_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v the_o first_o of_o seven_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o see_v by_o divine_a allowance_n we_o have_v six_o for_o one_o take_v the_o six_o last_o to_o ourselves_o in_o reason_n we_o may_v hope_v that_o the_o work_n on_o earth_n will_v speed_v best_a when_o our_o work_n for_o heaven_n be_v do_v first_o but_o now_o to_o argue_v from_o god_n example_n that_o it_o bind_v neither_o to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o nor_o to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o but_o to_o one_o of_o seven_o carry_v very_o great_a reason_n in_o it_o for_o if_o the_o great_a god_n who_o need_v not_o one_o moment_n either_o for_o rest_n or_o for_o work_n who_o never_o faint_v who_o never_o be_v weary_a wrought_v six_o day_n and_o rest_v one_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v poor_a frail_a man_n hold_v that_o proportion_n who_o by_o reason_n both_o of_o bodily_a weakness_n and_o spiritual_a want_n need_v such_o a_o competency_n of_o time_n both_o for_o his_o worldly_a employment_n and_o soul_n refreshment_n and_o thus_o much_o you_o say_v yourself_o have_v be_v already_o note_v thus_o you_o have_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n example_n that_o afford_v any_o help_n to_o afford_v your_o proposition_n 3._o three_o i_o find_v as_o little_a in_o god_n blessing_n and_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath-day_n for_o that_o which_o you_o allege_v it_o 1._o first_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n he_o sanctify_v it_o i._n e._n separate_v it_o from_o common_a use_n to_o be_v fill_v up_o with_o such_o duty_n as_o he_o appoint_v and_o then_o bless_a it_o i._n e._n appoint_v it_o to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o blessing_n a_o day_n natural_o consider_v be_v capable_a of_o no_o other_o blessing_n but_o only_o to_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o blessing_n according_a to_o divine_a appointment_n but_o his_o blessing_n and_o sanctify_v it_o secure_v the_o blessing_n to_o the_o right_a observer_n of_o it_o now_o for_o my_o reason_n why_o herein_o i_o dissent_v from_o you_o it_o be_v this_o he_o bless_a and_o sanctify_v it_o but_o not_o as_o it_o be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o rest_n declare_v thereby_o creation-work_n to_o be_v perfect_v neither_o be_v his_o rest_n so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o blessing_n and_o sanctify_v it_o but_o as_o consider_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o rest_n his_o finish_v the_o creation_n and_o also_o with_o the_o result_n and_o consequence_n of_o his_o rest_n viz._n his_o magnify_v and_o honour_v that_o day_n for_o the_o time_n be_v above_o all_o other_o day_n for_o the_o great_a work_n than_o in_o be_v whether_o this_o blessing_n be_v applicable_a to_o no_o other_o day_n but_o this_o as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o three_o branch_n of_o the_o first_o reason_n for_o the_o confirm_v your_o proposition_n shall_v be_v consider_v of_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v speak_v to_o in_o order_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o your_o paper_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v the_o contrary_a to_o appear_v at_o least_o it_o appear_v so_o to_o i_o 4._o four_o to_o mention_v it_o once_o again_o though_o it_o be_v hint_v before_o in_o the_o very_a conclusion_n of_o the_o commandment_n vers_fw-la 11._o though_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n in_o the_o word_n immediate_o forego_v it_o be_v not_o say_v i_o mean_v in_o that_o place_n that_o he_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o do_v bless_v it_o gen._n 2._o in_o the_o sense_n that_o be_v give_v above_o but_o he_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o sudden_a change_n of_o the_o expression_n i_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v this_o and_o i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v unworthy_a of_o your_o serious_a consideration_n it_o may_v be_v this_o i_o say_v because_o the_o command_n for_o the_o sabbath-day_n be_v to_o be_v of_o a_o large_a extent_n than_o the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o if_o god_n have_v intend_v to_o bind_v his_o church_n in_o all_o age_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o as_o you_o conceive_v he_o have_v do_v he_o will_v have_v fix_v upon_o that_o day_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o commandment_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o dissent_v from_o you_o in_o that_o sense_n which_o you_o give_v of_o the_o commandment_n in_o your_o proposition_n and_o why_o i_o
