do_v give_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n by_o moses_n hand_n and_o use_v he_o as_o a_o instrument_n to_o write_v they_o but_o for_o the_o great_a reverence_n of_o these_o ten_o he_o will_v not_o use_v

when_o christ_n death_n do_v tear_v asunder_o the_o vale_n of_o the_o temple_n than_o he_o tear_v all_o ceremony_n in_o twain_o that_o they_o can_v no_o long_o bind_v the_o conscience_n either_o of_o

that_o have_v neither_o leisure_n nor_o ability_n to_o do_v so_o but_o i_o must_v want_v all_o these_o comfort_n christ_n know_v that_o this_o will_v be_v as_o bitter_a as_o death_n to_o a_o

he_o show_v planly_a that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o abide_v after_o he_o for_o forty_o year_n and_o therefore_o no_o ceremony_n for_o then_o christ_n have_v not_o do_v well_o to_o put_v a_o needless_a fear_n into_o their_o heart_n of_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n if_o god_n require_v no_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o then_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v bid_v they_o pray_v

a_o great_a sin_n to_o have_v make_v such_o conscience_n of_o keep_v a_o ceremony_n so_o long_o after_o the_o abolish_n of_o they_o then_o if_o one_o shall_v not_o willing_o and_o not_o without_o

he_o do_v any_o other_o outward_a business_n of_o far_o less_o necessity_n so_o that_o these_o reason_n do_v most_o effectual_o confirm_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n child_n that_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n holy_a be_v a_o moral_a law_n and_o bind_v we_o and_o shall_v all_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o much_o as_o the_o jew_n at_o any_o time_n before_o christ_n but_o

and_o you_o god_n servant_n your_o master_n hire_v you_o to_o do_v god_n work_v and_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v their_o work_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o profane_a answer_n and_o these_o be_v ill_a

in_o what_o place_n soever_o set_v above_o thou_o thy_o father_n this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n whereby_o god_n will_v move_v inferior_n to_o obey_v because_o he_o be_v thy_o father_n in_o that_o god_n make_v this_o his_o reason_n why_o the_o child_n shall_v obey_v his_o father_n because_o he_o be_v his_o father_n we_o gather_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o chief_a motive_n to_o obedience_n

they_o father_n and_o mother_n how_o ever_o rich_a or_o poor_a thou_o must_v be_v dutiful_a unto_o they_o so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o wife_n wife_n obey_v your_o own_o husband_n use_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n if_o they_o be_v your_o husband_n if_o god_n have_v set_v they_o over_o you_o as_o your_o head_n and_o governor_n you_o must_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n
