thing_n very_o lik_o that_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o alteration_n or_o change_n of_o the_o day_n at_o all_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a therefore_o that_o our_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n

for_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o they_o call_v every_o sunday_n lord_n day_n as_o we_o do_v for_o they_o the_o most_o of_o they_o never_o name_v our_o sunday_n lord_n

for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v a_o remembrance_n of_o this_o redemption_n be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o some_o only_o of_o these_o man_n how_o absurd_a be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v

and_o such_o as_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n wherefore_o they_o can_v press_v this_o their_o new_a sabbath_n of_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o reason_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o they_o see_v by_o their_o fruit_n do_v already_o believe_v such_o as_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v which_o common_o be_v the_o great_a number_n these_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o city_n town_n &_o parish_n these_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o this_o their_o reason_n therefore_o do_v bewray_v the_o idleness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o we_o

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o

the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o must_v we_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a take_v up_o a_o new_a account_n of_o time_n also_o we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o

must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o

what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n

it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
themselves_o no_o neither_o can_v man_n else_o use_v they_o unto_o the_o day_n we_o now_o keep_v for_o god_n do_v move_v unto_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o saturday_n &_o seven_o day_n 1._o because_o himself_o at_o the_o creation_n rest_v on_o it_o 2._o because_o he_o have_v bless_v that_o day_n &_o hallow_v it_o &_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n now_o these_o two_o reason_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o our_o lord_n day_n for_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n do_v not_o rest_n on_o our_o lord_n day_n no_o neither_o do_v he_o then_o bless_v &_o sanctify_v the_o

therefore_o to_o give_v such_o reason_n as_o may_v take_v place_n in_o a_o carnal_a mind_n for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o i_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n that_o this_o may_v the_o better_o appear_v we_o will_v consider_v of_o it_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n &_o beast_n touch_v man_n we_o will_v consider_v of_o he_o general_o and_o then_o particular_o and_o first_o for_o man_n in_o general_a it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n and_o work_v of_o mercy_n unto_o all_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o therein_o their_o body_n be_v exceed_o refresh_v and_o comfort_v for_o look_v as_o the_o bed_n at_o night_n be_v a_o great_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n that_o have_v be_v occupy_v all_o the_o day_n before_o in_o his_o painful_a call_n so_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o sweet_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n after_o that_o they_o have_v be_v exercise_v six_o day_n one_o after_o a_o other_o in_o continual_a labour_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n every_o man_n find_v by_o good_a experience_n we_o have_v a_o proverb_n that_o man_n must_v work_v to_o day_n as_o they_o may_v work_v too_o

our_o present_a occasion_n that_o man_n must_v work_v this_o week_n so_o as_o they_o may_v work_v the_o next_o week_n also_o that_o be_v they_o must_v not_o so_o work_v and_o tire_v out_o their_o
body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v continual_a and_o perpetual_a labour_n day_n by_o day_n without_o cease_v all_o his_o life_n long_o wherefore_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o man_n to_o sabbathize_v &_o rest_n in_o from_o labour_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o some_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o rest_n that_o so_o a_o man_n may_v so_o work_v one_o week_n as_o he_o may_v work_v a_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n also_o for_o man_n so_o to_o follow_v their_o work_n as_o they_o may_v go_v on_o &_o continue_v with_o they_o &_o not_o like_o unskilful_a rider_n who_o ride_v gallop_v upon_o the_o spur_n in_o the_o forenoon_n so_o as_o their_o tire_a horse_n can_v go_v in_o the_o after_o noon_n wherefore_o if_o man_n do_v but_o regard_v their_o own_o body_n it_o be_v meet_v they_o shall_v set_v a_o part_n a_o day_n to_o sabbathize_v in_o and_o rest_n from_o their_o labour_n but_o suppose_v we_o that_o some_o man_n body_n be_v of_o any_o oaky_a substance_n &_o iron_n constitution_n can_v hold_v out_o in_o labour_n day_n by_o day_n everlasting_o yet_o how_o unbeseeming_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o man_n who_o god_n have_v make_v lord_n of_o all_o to_o become_v a_o slave_n &_o a_o drudge_n in_o this_o world_n work_v and_o tuge_v day_n by_o day_n without_o cease_v like_o horse_n in_o a_o cart_n neither_o can_v man_n plead_v necessity_n for_o experience_n have_v teach_v that_o we_o can_v compass_v all_o our_o work_n within_o the_o 6_o day_n nor_o yet_o can_v the_o poor_a plead_v necessity_n because_o of_o their_o poverty_n for_o as_o

the_o establish_a order_n in_o our_o kingdom_n of_o work_v but_o 6_o day_n in_o 7_o that_o the_o poor_a can_v now_o earn_v as_o much_o in_o 6_o day_n as_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o 7_o day_n if_o it_o

a_o sabbath_n in_o religiouse_a respect_n that_o god_n may_v be_v solemn_o and_o publiky_a worship_v &_o that_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n may_v be_v further_o edify_v in_o their_o

for_o they_o be_v so_o requisite_a and_o needful_a that_o all_o man_n will_v grante_v i_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o day_n set_v a_o part_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n &_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o omit_v what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o our_o church_n do_v now_o celebrate_v many_o holy_a day_n for_o the_o same_o end_n &_o not_o only_o the_o saint_n day_n yearly_a but_o also_o the_o lord_n day_n weekly_o 2._o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o good_a report_n phil._n 4.8_o &_o those_o thing_n therefore_o which_o all_o christian_a people_n approve_v and_o allow_v of_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v have_v in_o use_n papist_n they_o allow_v of_o rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o divine_a institution_n yet_o they_o keep_v and_o hold_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o wherein_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n and_o perform_v public_a worship_n unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o witeness_n hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o live_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n public_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n and_o so_o we_o have_v prove_v this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o one_o in_o 7_o day_n now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v

then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a rest_n the_o other_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n now_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n they_o hold_v the_o time_n a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v but_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a rest_n this_o they_o hold_v moral_a and_o this_o they_o careful_o perform_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o they_o persuade_v then selue_o well_o but_o if_o now_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o their_o performance_n of_o this_o holy_a rest_n upon_o a_o wrong_a day_n be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n duty_n nor_o the_o duty_n require_v by_o god_n in_o his_o four_o come_v than_o you_o will_v say_v with_o i_o that_o their_o abolish_n of_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o four_o come_v also_o for_o there_o be_v but_o ij_o thing_n inyon_v in_o the_o com._n &_o they_o deny_v the_o one_o express_o and_o the_o other_o by_o just_a consequence_n for_o this_o purpose_n note_n that_o the_o like_a be_v not_o the_o

of_o god_n rest_n at_o the_o creation_n nor_o can_v be_v for_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o our_o lord_n day_n rest_n be_v on_o the_o 8_o day_n now_o this_o be_v far_o from_o imitate_v of_o god_n when_o he_o rest_v upon_o one_o day_n and_o we_o will_v rest_n upon_o a_o other_o and_o thus_o in_o these_o four_o respect_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o rest_n which_o now_o we_o keep_v it_o be_v none_o of_o god_n rest_n ordain_v in_o his_o four_o comm._n it_o be_v but_o like_o it_o as_o a_o counterfeit_n shilling_n be_v like_o a_o currant_n shilling_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o any_o long_o deceive_v himself_o by_o think_v he_o keep_v god_n rest_n when_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o conclude_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a rest_n we_o now_o keep_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v not_o that_o holy_a rest_n require_v in_o the_o four_o come_v hereby_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o now_o we_o neither_o give_v god_n the_o time_n no_o nor_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o time_n and_o that_o by_o abolish_n of_o the_o sacred_a &_o sanctify_a time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v also_o abolish_v the_o holy_a rest_n require_v of_o god_n in_o

four_o com._n itself_o i_o come_v now_o unto_o
to_o deal_v against_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n law_n who_o will_v abolish_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o libertine_n anabaptist_n &_o our_o new_a upstart_n eatonists_n they_o do_v defend_v god_n law_n

may_v not_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o work_v travail_a moile_v &_o toile_v on_o it_o for_o about_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n &_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n he_o will_v have_v the_o

cravail_a moil_a &_o toil_v on_o it_o for_o about_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n and_o end_n of_o all_o coremony_n therefore_o christ_n will_v have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n sanctify_v and_o

will_v not_o have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n profane_v he_o will_v have_v it_o sanctify_v and_o observe_v like_v as_o in_o the_o seven_o come_v in_o that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v a_o man_n commit_v

it_o may_v not_o be_v profane_v but_o sanctify_v he_o appoint_v the_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v now_o no_o man_n command_v mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v not_o obtain_v the_o other_o thing_n considerable_a be_v that_o he_o that_o will_v the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v and_o keep_v from_o profanation_n 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n of_o all_o ceremony_n he_o will_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v still_o in_o force_n unto_o this_o day_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o proper_a time_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o all_o ceremony_n &_o all_o ceremony_n they_o be_v abolish_v together_o at_o once_o &_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v ratify_v &_o to_o be_v observe_v 40_o or_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o proper_a time_n for_o the_o death_n &_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n that_o thing_n be_v no_o ceremony_n for_o if_o it_o be_v it_o shall_v not_o have_v suruive_v all_o ceremony_n

humane_a &_o natural_a mean_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o prevention_n of_o this_o flight_n so_o then_o prayer_n be_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v use_v christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v use_v yea_o since_o prayer_n must_v be_v accompany_v with_o all_o mean_n &_o indeavore_n of_o man_n if_o

be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a or_o else_o those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n and_o holy_a exercise_n these_o must_v be_v

in_o this_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o if_o they_o a_o bolish_v the_o seven_o day_n they_o do_v also_o abolish_v the_o duty_n enjoin_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o con_v and_o so_o farewell_n law_n &_o duty_n both_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o direction_n from_o the_o scripture_n you_o make_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n that_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v ceremonial_a and_o

the_o time_n be_v abolish_v there_o those_o duty_n usual_o perform_v in_o that_o time_n be_v abolisn_v also_o wherefore_o if_o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o time_n and_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o jewish_a

to_o wit_n the_o 5_o november_n &_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o the_o rest_n from_o work_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a praise_n of_o god_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v tend_v to_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v

can_v be_v apply_v unto_o servant_n 3._o consider_v that_o the_o servant_n be_v not_o at_o liberty_n nor_o have_v the_o power_n of_o himself_o but_o be_v at_o his_o master_n command_n common_a reason_n incline_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o commandment_n rather_o as_o give_v to_o and_o bind_v the_o master_n than_o the_o servant_n this_o point_n you_o may_v see_v learned_o observe_v and_o

much_o for_o my_o former_a argument_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v and_o so_o the_o lord_n day_n keptin_n room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n till_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n my_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v for_o a_o season_n be_v because_o the_o passeover_n day_n may_v be_v change_v for_o a_o season_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o argum_fw-la ii_o if_o the_o passeover_n day_n may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n then_o the_o sabbath_n day_n also_o may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o the_o passcover_v day_n may_v be_v neglect_v &_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n also_o may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n i_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n or_o the_o consequence_n to_o be_v good_a because_o there_o be_v like_a reason_n of_o both_o that_o be_v of_o the_o passeover_n day_n and_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o this_o i_o make_v appear_v in_o these_o particular_n 1._o as_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v command_v by_o god_n exod._n 20.8_o so_o also_o the_o passeover_n day_n be_v command_v by_o god_n exod._n 12.2.6_o two_o as_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o must_v be_v holy_a assembly_n and_o no_o servile_a work_n door_n levit._n 23.3_o so_o also_o on_o the_o passeover_n day_n or_o passeover_n sabbath_n day_n there_o be_v to_o be_v holy_a assembly_n and_o no_o servile_a work_n do_v levit._n 23.8_o three_o as_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n exod._n 31.15_o so_o also_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o passeover_n day_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n numb_a 9.13_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o like_o the_o passeover_n day_n be_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o 1._o they_o have_v both_o the_o same_o author_n god_n 2._o they_o be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v with_o holy_a assembly_n and_o rest_n from_o labour_n both_o alike_o 3._o they_o be_v to_o be_v strict_o keep_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o for_o there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n to_o be_v inflict_v upon_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o both_o alike_o now_o they_o be_v thus_o alike_o both_o what_o hinder_v that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v like_o reason_n of_o they_o both_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o transgress_v the_o one_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o transgress_v the_o other_o also_o now_o if_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n then_o to_o neglect_v the_o one_o &_o make_v a_o change_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o neglect_v the_o other_o &_o make_v a_o change_n in_o a_o case_n of_o
and_o leisure_n to_o conclude_v since_o this_o dispensation_n tend_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o also_o imitate_v the_o apostle_n let_v it_o obtain_v the_o most_o favourable_a

hereunto_o we_o must_v know_v that_o some_o check_n of_o conscience_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o do_v of_o something_o which_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v and_o for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v against_o these_o

the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o work_v in_o quench_v of_o a_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n nevertheless_o a_o soft_a heart_n and_o tender_a conscience_n will_v be_v full_a of_o pricking_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o flight_n and_o whilst_o he_o be_v at_o work_n now_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v not_o because_o these_o his_o action_n be_v sinefull_a but_o because_o he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v not_o do_v upon_o this_o day_n if_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v and_o because_o he_o neglect_v the_o special_a service_n of_o god_n all_o that_o time_n which_o he_o

and_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o time_n now_o for_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n these_o be_v jewish_a out_o they_o ceremonial_a and_o

it_o be_v a_o limb_n of_o their_o own_o distinction_n for_o they_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n that_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n command_v to_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o by_o their_o abolish_n of_o that_o very_a day_n and_o time_n which_o the_o jew_n keep_v to_o wit_n that_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v abolish_v

to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o

that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v

that_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o so_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o still_o that_o christ_n ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o

more_o as_o touch_v their_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v imagine_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o unfit_a to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o on_o a_o week_n

the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n until_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n ascension_n for_o as_o we_o have_v former_o prove_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o also_o
i_o baptise_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n upon_o a_o child_n when_o he_o wash_v his_o hand_n in_o common_a water_n or_o to_o pronounce_v those_o word_n of_o the_o

judge_v it_o a_o horrible_a profanation_n of_o god_n sacred_a word_n for_o any_o minister_n to_o take_v that_o part_n of_o god_n word_n to_o wit_n the_o four_o come_v with_o those_o other_o

of_o a_o proud_n spirit_n to_o discover_v any_o error_n in_o they_o and_o the_o like_a if_o it_o prove_v better_a it_o be_v more_o than_o i_o look_v for_o and_o better_o than_o i_o have_v find_v hither_o to_o but_o i_o pass_v not_o for_o their_o displesure_n so_o be_v i_o may_v keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n to_o ward_n god_n minister_n must_v hear_v of_o their_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o

you_o stand_v so_o for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o matter_n of_o time_n and_o god_n regard_v not_o time_n so_o much_o etc._n etc._n but_o say_v i_o then_o why_o do_v god_n please_v so_o express_o to_o

do_v well_o therefore_o who_o honour_n this_o time_n this_o sacred_a and_o sanctify_a time_n and_o who_o stand_v for_o it_o and_o speak_v for_o it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o stand_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o god_n time_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o god_n name_n they_o be_v both_o command_a and_o both_o command_v in_o the_o first_o table_n an_o other_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n have_v charge_v we_o to_o remember_v his_o sabbath_n day_n what_o will_v become_v of_o such_o preacher_n they_o as_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o a_o remembrance_n of_o it_o as_o that_o they_o teach_v man_n public_o to_o forget_v it_o and_o to_o this_o evil_a end_n &_o sinful_a they_o labour_v to_o be_v blurr_n god_n day_n by_o call_v it_o odious_o jewish_a and_o ceremonial_a and_o to_o this_o end_n they_o have_v coin_v many_o distinction_n whereby_o they_o will_v pervert_v the_o straight_a way_n of_o the_o

the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o now_o from_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o that_o poor_a people_n as_o they_o be_v they_o know_v not_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v be_v call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o these_o minister_n shall_v undoubted_o answer_v to_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n in_o profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n weekly_o so_o do_v i_o wish_v and_o advise_v all_o people_n to_o lay_v the_o weight_n and_o peril_n of_o their_o soul_n upon_o these_o their_o minister_n who_o tach_v they_o thus_o tell_v they_o plain_o thus_o we_o see_v a_o plain_a and_o express_v commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o we_o see_v none_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n wherefore_o we_o dare_v not_o in_o our_o conscience_n speak_v against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n no_o nor_o profane_v it_o by_o that_o common_a light_n of_o understanding_n and_o conscience_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o judge_n by_o if_o we_o dare_v trust_v our_o own_o judgment_n we_o dare_v not_o but_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o god_n know_v if_o you_o our_o minister_n be_v as_o willing_a as_o we_o be_v we_o will_v keep_v it_o holy_a wherefore_o thâ—_n fault_n be_v not_o in_o we_o nor_o the_o sin_n we_o if_o it_o be_v profane_v see_v you_o to_o it_o therefore_o our_o blood_n be_v upon_o you_o if_o we_o perish_v in_o this_o sin_n eternal_o or_o be_v plague_v of_o god_n for_o it_o here_o temporal_o for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o reverend_a regard_n which_o we_o have_v of_o you_o and_o your_o learning_n and_o honesty_n which_o make_v we_o to_o disregard_n this_o thing_n command_v of_o god_n this_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o plead_v before_o almighty_a god_n at_o that_o great_a day_n of_o assize_n that_o we_o be_v innocent_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o if_o for_o all_o this_o it_o than_o go_v ill_a with_o we_o we_o shall_v curse_v the_o day_n that_o ever_o we_o know_v you_o and_o believe_v you_o thus_o i_o advise_v people_n to_o disclaim_v and_o abandon_v the_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o this_o sin_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o burden_n of_o it_o whole_o upon_o such_o their_o minister_n as_o do_v persist_v in_o enmity_n to_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n or_o to_o any_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o four_o com._n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o advice_n be_v because_o i_o find_v the_o people_n general_o indifferent_o affect_v and_o ready_a enough_o to_o embrace_v god_n ancient_a sabbath_n in_o conscience_n of_o god_n four_o com._n and_o the_o only_a bridle_n that_o cause_v they_o to_o refrain_v consent_n be_v the_o reverend_a opinion_n they_o have_v of_o their_o minister_n who_o be_v contrary_o mind_v and_o teach_v they_o otherwise_o etc._n etc._n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a fault_n be_v in_o their_o minister_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o advise_v the_o people_n to_o lay_v the_o weight_n and_o whole_a burden_n of_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n to_o provoke_v they_o to_o reform_v and_o cale_fw-la back_o their_o erroniouse_a doctrine_n touch_v god_n sabbath_v lest_o they_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o many_o soul_n a_o other_o day_n lay_v to_o their_o charge_n an_o other_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v against_o minister_n also_o and_o it_o be_v of_o exceed_v great_a consequence_n enough_o to_o cause_v the_o hair_n upon_o
