against_o this_o present_a objection_n that_o this_o beginning_n conclude_v the_o lordsday_n at_o evening_n even_o in_o god_n account_n and_o so_o in_o verity_n itself_o be_v least_o inconvenient_a least_o mischievous_a and_o the_o best_a of_o all_o the_o three_o to_o prevent_v all_o profanation_n abuse_n of_o the_o day_n therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v embrace_v as_o that_o which_o god_n

term_v it_o than_o it_o can_v possible_o produce_v on_o lordsday_n evening_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o it_o likewise_o excuse_v all_o husbandman_n tradesman_n and_o other_o from_o be_v sabbath-breaker_n who_o in_o the_o winter_n quarter_n rise_v early_o to_o their_o weekly_a labour_n on_o monday_n morning_n some_o three_o or_o four_o hour_n before_o daybreak_n who_o shall_v be_v

as_o be_v suggest_v since_o it_o put_v no_o period_n to_o the_o lordsday_n or_o its_o duty_n till_o after_o sunset_n when_o the_o star_n begin_v to_o shine_v which_o be_v not_o till_o eight_o or_o

then_o to_o sport_n or_o pastime_n and_o about_o six_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o winter_n quarter_n after_o which_o all_o civil_a orderly_a parent_n master_n though_o not_o religious_a permit_v not_o their_o child_n or_o servant_n to_o rove_v abroad_o and_o such_o who_o be_v true_o pious_a fall_v to_o repetition_n of_o the_o sermon_n they_o hear_v the_o lordsday_n before_o sing_v of_o psalm_n read_v the_o scripture_n and_o godly_a book_n catechise_v their_o family_n prayer_n meditation_n and_o such_o like_a holy_a family_n duty_n answerable_a to_o the_o piety_n they_o profess_v and_o the_o

religion_n with_o which_o they_o have_v no_o anology_n last_o admit_v the_o objection_n true_a that_o this_o beginning_n of_o the_o lordsday_n at_o evening_n shall_v prove_v more_o inconvenient_a than_o that_o at_o morning_n not_o simple_o in_o itself_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n abuse_v it_o which_o yet_o i_o deny_v yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o therefore_o the_o day_n ought_v then_o to_o begin_v since_o the_o abuse_n of_o any_o doctrine_n through_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n make_v not_o the_o doctrine_n less_o true_a and_o since_o inconvenienâes_n must_v not_o can_v alter_v those_o bound_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v immutable_o prescribe_v unto_o day_n true_a it_o be_v that_o inconvenience_n back_v with_o any_o precept_n or_o scripture_n for_o the_o beginning_n of_o day_n be_v good_a argument_n proof_n of_o truth_n but_o want_v scripture_n authority_n to_o enforce_v they_o or_o be_v object_v against_o apparent_a text_n they_o be_v no_o way_n conclusive_a such_o be_v the_o inconvenience_n here_o pretend_v which_o whether_o they_o will_v happen_v yea_o or_o no_o will_v not_o can_v appear_v till_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o lordsdaye_n commence_v at_o evening_n and_o the_o use_n of_o public_a evening_n prayer_n in_o all_o place_n saturday_n evening_n as_o a_o preparative_n to_o the_o lordsday_n sanctification_n former_o use_v be_v general_o receive_v as_o former_o which_o man_n will_v not_o so_o much_o abuse_v to_o liberty_n and_o licentiousness_n as_o be_v pretend_v or_o if_o they_o do_v the_o fault_n be_v only_o they_o not_o the_o doctrine_n wherefore_o my_o conclusion_n remain_v still_o firm_a notwithstanding_o this_o objection_n the_o six_o and_o last_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o many_o godly_a learned_a divine_n of_o late_a and_o present_a time_n have_v in_o their_o 6._o writing_n sermon_n deliver_v this_o opinion_n for_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o lordsday_n begin_v and_o end_v at_o morning_n not_o at_o evening_n because_o christ_n rise_v not_o till_o the_o morning_n and_o it_o be_v now_o the_o common_a receive_a opinion_n practice_n of_o all_o our_o divine_n and_o most_o private_a christian_n therefore_o questionless_a it_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o dangerous_a to_o alter_v it_o in_o thesis_n or_o practice_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v true_a many_o reverend_a holy_a learned_a late_a divine_n who_o name_v for_o honour_n sake_n 1._o i_o shall_v forbear_v to_o mention_v have_v in_o their_o public_a writing_n and_o many_o more_o in_o their_o sermon_n deliver_v this_o opinion_n yet_o many_o of_o they_o only_o dubious_o with_o a_o *_o 1._o it_o seem_v or_o it_o be_v probable_a or_o likely_a not_o resolute_o and_o that_o their_o present_a practice_n be_v answerable_a thereunto_o but_o yet_o all_o the_o learned_a godly_a christian_n in_o all_o former_a age_n have_v hold_v practise_v the_o contrary_a as_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o some_o godly_a eminent_a divine_n among_o we_o now_o conclude_v in_o judgement_n with_o they_o the_o judgement_n therefore_o and_o practise_v of_o all_o age_n church_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n till_o now_o shall_v rather_o sway_v the_o balance_n of_o this_o controversy_n than_o these_o few_o late_a divine_n though_o learned_a and_o judicious_a second_o most_o of_o those_o godly_a learned_a man_n have_v take_v up_o this_o opinion_n and_o publish_v it_o to_o other_o upon_o wolphius_n his_o authority_n and_o ground_n without_o any_o full_a examination_n or_o serious_a study_n of_o the_o point_n as_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o they_o do_v but_o light_o touch_v it_o in_o the_o by_o and_o so_o away_o not_o serious_o or_o peremptory_o resolve_v it_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o such_o reason_n as_o no_o way_n prove_v their_o conclusion_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v mere_o fall_v in_o that_o sense_n they_o understand_v they_o as_o i_o have_v large_o manifest_v in_o the_o premise_n therefore_o their_o authority_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v regard_v three_o in_o all_o dispute_n we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o observe_v what_o and_o who_o the_o author_n produce_v be_v as_o what_o their_o proof_n and_o reason_n be_v if_o these_o good_a learned_a man_n argument_n reason_n be_v unsound_a as_o i_o have_v manifest_v they_o no_o matter_n what_o their_o opinion_n life_n or_o practice_n be_v since_o the_o learned_a the_o holy_a be_v and_o may_v be_v subject_a unto_o error_n from_o which_o none_o be_v exempt_v see_v therefore_o i_o have_v here_o propound_v the_o best_a reason_n allege_v on_o all_o hand_n for_o the_o sabbath_n and_o lordsdayes_n beginning_n at_o evening_n morning_n midnight_n let_v the_o best_a proof_n reason_n win_v the_o field_n and_o then_o i_o hope_v the_o victory_n will_v fall_v on_o my_o side_n without_o any_o more_o dispute_n who_o contend_v not_o for_o victory_n but_o truth_n alone_o have_v thus_o as_o i_o conceive_v give_v full_a satisfactory_a answer_n to_o all_o material_a objection_n i_o ever_o yet_o read_v hear_v or_o conceive_v against_o the_o lords-day_n begin_v at_o evening_n i_o come_v now_o
