be_v refresh_v after_o labour_n second_o that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v set_z apart_z to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n these_o two_o first_o be_v therefore_o moral_a because_o they_o be_v express_o mention_v in_o the_o commandment_n touch_v the_o sabbath_n three_o that_o a_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v to_o a_o holy_a rest_n and_o that_o this_o holy_a rest_n shall_v be_v observe_v in_o a_o seven_o day_n i_o say_v not_o in_o this_o or_o that_o seven_o day_n but_o in_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o now_o that_o this_o also_o be_v moral_a it_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v institute_v and_o appoint_v by_o god_n in_o paradise_n before_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n and_o the_o reveal_n of_o christ_n yea_o even_o then_o when_o there_o be_v one_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n this_o be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o gen._n 2._o as_o also_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o a_o sabbath_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v a_o ceremony_n simple_o consider_v the_o ordination_n thereof_o be_v in_o time_n long_o before_o all_o ceremony_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v make_v a_o ceremony_n afterward_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v naught_o for_o matrimony_n be_v ordain_v in_o paradise_n and_o afterward_o make_v ceremonial_a to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o matrimony_n be_v perpetual_a and_o so_o be_v a_o sabbath_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n if_o it_o be_v again_o **_o allege_v that_o god_n do_v then_o keep_v a_o seven_o day_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o afterward_o enjoin_v it_o to_o man_n by_o his_o commandment_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o paradise_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n blessing_n and_o sanctification_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v that_o god_n do_v both_o bless_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o himself_o because_o he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o hallow_v it_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n by_o command_v it_o to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o keep_v in_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v general_a and_o the_o equity_n of_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o they_o have_v this_o end_n to_o urge_v the_o rest_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n let_v they_o be_v consider_v in_o particular_a the_o first_o in_o these_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v which_o some_o take_v to_o be_v a_o permission_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v say_v thus_o if_o i_o permit_v thou_o six_o thou_o shall_v allow_v i_o a_o seven_o but_o they_o may_v be_v also_o take_v for_o a_o commandment_n injoin_v labour_n in_o the_o six_o day_n first_o because_o they_o be_v propound_v in_o command_a term_n second_o because_o they_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o curse_n lay_v upon_o adam_n thou_o shall_v eat_v thy_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o face_n namely_o in_o the_o six_o day_n and_o three_o because_o idleness_n the_o spoil_n of_o mankind_n be_v there_o forbid_a this_o be_v so_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o seven_o day_n not_o only_o of_o rest_n to_o ease_v they_o that_o labour_n in_o the_o six_o day_n but_o also_o of_o a_o holy_a rest_n that_o god_n may_v be_v worship_v in_o it_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o god_n example_n for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n etc._n etc._n that_o which_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v do_v in_o person_n the_o same_o must_v man_n do_v by_o his_o commandment_n but_o the_o lord_n himself_o in_o six_o day_n labour_v and_o rest_v the_o seven_o therefore_o man_n must_v do_v the_o same_o this_o reason_n make_v by_o god_n to_o the_o creature_n must_v stand_v in_o force_n till_o he_o reverse_v it_o which_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o do_v nor_o do_v if_o then_o these_o reason_n do_v not_o only_o enforce_v a_o rest_n and_o a_o holy_a rest_n but_o a_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o this_o lest_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o consequent_o the_o church_n can_v not_o alter_v it_o from_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o they_o can_v not_o alter_v the_o substance_n of_o that_o commandment_n which_o be_v eternal_a ii_o reason_n the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o all_o likelihood_n be_v tie_v to_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o as_o i_o take_v it_o by_o christ_n himself_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v these_o i._o the_o sabbath_n day_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n apoc._n 1._o 10._o now_o i_o suppose_v for_o in_o these_o point_n still_o we_o must_v go_v by_o likelihood_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o the_o last_o supper_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n supper_n for_o two_o cause_n first_o as_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n after_o the_o creation_n so_o christ_n have_v end_v the_o work_n of_o the_o new_a creation_n rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o work_n of_o redemption_n second_o as_o christ_n do_v substitute_v the_o last_o supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passover_o so_o he_o substitute_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o room_n of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o day_n set_v apart_o to_o his_o own_o worship_n ii_o the_o

day_n the_o four_o main_a question_n touch_v man_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o relation_n to_o god_n be_v concern_v the_o time_n of_o god_n worship_n wherein_o certain_a particular_a question_n be_v to_o be_v resolve_v touch_v the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o first_o and_o most_o principal_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n upon_o earth_n to_o alter_v the_o sabbath_n day_n from_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o any_o other_o in_o answer_v to_o this_o question_n i_o will_v not_o resolute_o determine_v but_o only_o propound_v that_o which_o i_o think_v be_v most_o probable_a first_o therefore_o i_o answer_v negative_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o church_n liberty_n to_o alter_v the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o reason_n be_v these_o i._o reason_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v unalterable_a now_o the_o sanctify_a of_o a_o rest_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n therefore_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v unalterable_a in_o regard_n of_o any_o creature_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o reason_n may_v appear_v two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o what_o be_v changeable_a and_o temporary_a in_o the_o sabbath_n and_o then_o what_o be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a sect._n 1_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v temporary_a and_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v these_o i._o that_o rigorous_a and_o precise_a rest_n prescribe_v to_o the_o jew_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o strait_a observation_n of_o three_o thing_n first_o the_o jew_n may_v not_o on_o the_o saboth_n go_v forth_o or_o take_v a_o journey_n any_o whether_o for_o any_o matter_n or_o business_n of_o his_o own_o for_o of_o this_o there_o be_v a_o special_a commandment_n give_v exod._n 16._o 29._o tarry_v every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n let_v no_o man_n go_v out_o of_o his_o place_n the_o seven_o day_n namely_o to_o do_v any_o work_n or_o business_n of_o his_o own_o whatsoever_o second_o the_o jew_n may_v not_o kindle_v a_o fire_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o so_o say_v the_o lord_n by_o moses_n you_o shall_v kindle_v no_o fire_n throughout_o your_o habitation_n etc._n etc._n exod._n 35._o 3._o it_o will_v be_v then_o say_v how_o do_v they_o for_o meat_n and_o fire_n in_o winter_n ans._n they_o prepare_v and_o dress_v their_o meat_n the_o day_n before_o as_o they_o be_v command_v exod._n 16._o 24._o and_o for_o fire_n in_o winter_n if_o they_o have_v any_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v necessary_a as_o i_o suppose_v that_o as_o they_o dress_v their_o meat_n the_o day_n before_o so_o they_o shall_v then_o begin_v their_o fire_n also_o which_o be_v then_o begin_v may_v be_v preserve_v on_o the_o sabbath_n three_o the_o jew_n may_v not_o carry_v a_o burden_n this_o the_o lord_n do_v express_o forbid_v they_o by_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n carry_v no_o burden_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n neither_o bring_v they_o in_o by_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n etc._n etc._n jer._n 17._o 21._o and_o nehemiah_n charge_v the_o man_n of_o
