dan._n 3._o 2._o the_o miscreant_n prophet_n mahomet_n as_o he_o give_v a_o law_n and_o prescribe_v a_o worship_n so_o he_o himself_o institute_v his_o day_n for_o the_o same_o and_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o arbitrary_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o his_o worshipper_n to_o ordain_v and_o appoint_v therefore_o from_o all_o this_o i_o conclude_v unless_o christ_n shall_v do_v as_o his_o father_n do_v and_o be_v less_o careful_a of_o a_o day_n for_o the_o solemnity_n of_o his_o set_a worship_n than_o the_o very_a idolater_n he_o must_v be_v the_o institutor_n of_o this_o day_n which_o we_o observe_v to_o he_o for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o at_o any_o time_n in_o any_o age_n of_o the_o world_n that_o any_o public_a worship_n be_v ever_o invent_v to_o be_v observe_v but_o the_o very_a author_n and_o inventor_n thereof_o be_v also_o himself_o the_o institutor_n of_o the_o day_n for_o that_o worship_n not_o leave_v it_o to_o any_o other_o will_n to_o appoint_v the_o same_o for_o he_o 2_o if_o christ_n leave_v it_o to_o other_o as_o to_o his_o apostle_n then_o either_o before_o his_o ascension_n during_o his_o abode_n with_o they_o which_o be_v absurd_a to_o conceit_n or_o after_o his_o ascension_n if_o any_o do_v think_v so_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o from_o his_o resurrection_n to_o his_o ascension_n the_o space_n of_o six_o week_n the_o church_n have_v no_o set_a day_n under_o christ_n public_o to_o do_v he_o solemn_a service_n for_o the_o other_o seven_o day_n he_o take_v away_o by_o his_o lie_v that_o whole_a day_n in_o the_o

day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o in_o this_o space_n from_o his_o resurrection_n to_o his_o ascension_n the_o apostle_n and_o church_n observe_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o ordain_v it_o and_o leave_v it_o not_o to_o they_o 3_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v some_o circumstance_n about_o god_n worship_n which_o he_o have_v ever_o reserve_v to_o his_o own_o authority_n and_o never_o leave_v they_o determinable_a to_o any_o but_o to_o himself_o such_o be_v these_o which_o do_v concur_v about_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o circumstance_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v that_o which_o concern_v the_o very_a substance_n for_o time_n of_o perform_v of_o public_a worship_n whether_o one_o day_n in_o a_o year_n in_o a_o month_n in_o a_o week_n or_o whether_o a_o part_n or_o some_o few_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n be_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o his_o service_n or_o the_o whole_a day_n be_v he_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o time_n be_v substantial_a and_o god_n always_o appoint_v the_o same_o as_o the_o ordain_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o other_o holy_a day_n set_v apart_o by_o god_n do_v manifest_a the_o second_o circumstance_n be_v that_o whereof_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o sway_v or_o guide_v the_o judgement_n this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n must_v be_v needful_a to_o the_o determine_n of_o it_o such_o a_o circumstance_n be_v the_o proportion_v of_o time_n and_o rest_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o god_n service_n for_o if_o reason_n can_v regulate_v it_o than_o shall_v it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o his_o write_a law_n and_o reveal_v will_n have_v god_n order_v it_o the_o three_o circumstance_n be_v that_o which_o be_v of_o universal_a observation_n by_o all_o which_o none_o but_o god_n can_v impose_v by_o his_o supreme_a authority_n to_o which_o all_o be_v alike_o equal_o subject_a and_o such_o a_o universal_a circumstance_n be_v this_o for_o observation_n of_o this_o day_n by_o all_o christian_a people_n and_o by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o age_n therefore_o this_o day_n be_v not_o leave_v to_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v determine_v but_o appoint_v by_o christ_n himself_o undoubted_o christ_n will_v imitate_v his_o father_n and_o set_v a_o day_n for_o his_o public_a worship_n as_o he_o do_v and_o can_v we_o suppose_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v less_o careful_a than_o the_o turkish_a mahomet_n or_o other_o idol_n worshipper_n in_o ordain_v a_o solemn_a day_n for_o his_o public_a service_n but_o if_o this_o day_n which_o we_o observe_v be_v not_o of_o his_o appointment_n then_o have_v we_o none_o for_o all_o other_o day_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n and_o observe_v only_o by_o humane_a authority_n 4_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v not_o only_o by_o inspiration_n but_o by_o way_n of_o injunction_n and_o command_n from_o christ_n here_o on_o earth_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o he_o ordain_v and_o leave_v it_o not_o to_o they_o to_o ordain_v but_o the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v the_o lord_n day_n not_o only_o by_o inspiration_n but_o by_o way_n of_o injunction_n and_o commandment_n from_o christ_n here_o on_o earth_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o he_o leave_v it_o not_o to_o his_o

give_v they_o do_v convey_v his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o they_o to_o make_v they_o to_o understand_v they_o to_o retain_v they_o in_o memory_n to_o make_v conscience_n to_o observe_v they_o and_o to_o
