and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o order_n many_o excellent_a sermon_n have_v little_a effect_n for_o where_o judgement_n by_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o convince_v there_o many_o exhortation_n fall_v to_o

knowledge_n of_o the_o same_o but_o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a discourse_n of_o the_o reason_n general_o let_v we_o consider_v why_o this_o commandment_n be_v in_o word_n large_a in_o reason_n full_a than_o any_o other_o commandment_n commandment_n if_o we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n we_o may_v observe_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o six_o precept_n in_o many_o word_n and_o four_o naked_o in_o bare_a word_n as_o the_o 6._o the_o 7._o the_o 8._o and_o the_o 9_o why_o then_o be_v the_o first_o five_o commandment_n so_o apparel_v with_o reason_n and_o the_o last_o so_o dilate_v by_o a_o special_a amplification_n the_o other_o four_o be_v so_o brief_a and_o so_o naked_a certain_o the_o lord_n and_o lawgiver_n foresee_v that_o unto_o these_o four_o man_n will_v easy_o be_v bring_v to_o yield_v and_o we_o see_v how_o the_o very_a heathen_a have_v free_o grant_v they_o the_o philosopher_n have_v fruitful_o write_v of_o they_o all_o civil_a righteous_a man_n do_v earnest_o maintain_v they_o and_o to_o be_v brief_a common_a honesty_n count_v he_o no_o man_n that_o will_v murder_v he_o be_v think_v beastlike_a that_o defile_v his_o body_n outward_a civility_n condemn_v a_o thief_n and_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n mislike_v a_o backbiter_n and_o slanderer_n again_o he_o know_v in_o his_o eternal_a wisdom_n how_o the_o first_o five_o will_v neither_o in_o reason_n so_o soon_o be_v admit_v nor_o in_o affection_n so_o easy_o embrace_v and_o therefore_o to_o meet_v with_o the_o subtlety_n of_o man_n nature_n and_o corruption_n of_o man_n heart_n they_o be_v set_v down_o more_o piercing_o this_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o first_o and_o last_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n in_o the_o first_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v honour_n to_o lax._n be_v give_v to_o parent_n he_o enforce_v his_o commandment_n with_o annex_v a_o promise_n of_o long_a life_n and_o why_o even_o judgement_n herein_o be_v much_o

of_o magistracy_n yea_o and_o albeit_o in_o judgement_n many_o man_n yield_v to_o the_o reason_n thereof_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o equity_n thereof_o so_o soon_o in_o affection_n embrace_v for_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n prove_v that_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v most_o hard_o bring_v to_o be_v subject_a and_o these_o last_o miserable_a day_n can_v witness_v the_o same_o more_o especial_o wherein_o man_n be_v grow_v to_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o be_v this_o precept_n fence_v with_o reason_n in_o the_o last_o where_o

the_o lord_n in_o his_o wisdom_n foresee_v these_o cavil_v wit_n prevent_v their_o purpose_n so_o that_o if_o either_o they_o yield_v not_o or_o make_v resistance_n to_o the_o truth_n so_o manifest_a

there_o true_a religion_n go_v to_o wrack_n for_o admit_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o careful_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o many_o religion_n will_v then_o start_v up_o let_v this_o be_v

wherein_o we_o be_v forewarn_v to_o watch_v the_o more_o diligent_o and_o attend_v more_o careful_o upon_o this_o commandment_n in_o which_o point_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o whereas_o all_o other_o

all_o sound_a learned_a whereof_o i_o have_v read_v some_o there_o be_v no_o figure_n until_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n from_o which_o our_o parent_n be_v yet_o free_a but_o a_o mean_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o innocence_n in_o that_o notwithstanding_o their_o excellent_a creation_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o fall_v therefore_o this_o end_n must_v be_v the_o chief_a this_o be_v not_o only_o give_v to_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n but_o to_o the_o whole_a posterity_n of_o adam_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o the_o jew_n be_v first_o begin_v in_o paradise_n and_o then_o afterward_o renew_v in_o mount_n sinai_n so_o that_o this_o moral_a end_n be_v the_o first_o end_n and_o common_a end_n and_o although_o as_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o more_o special_a

lord_n command_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o rest_n add_v as_o a_o reason_n not_o as_o a_o end_n that_o thy_o ox_n and_o thy_o ass_n may_v rest_v &_o the_o son_n of_o thy_o maid_n and_o the_o stranger_n may_v be_v refresh_v where_o this_o spare_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v add_v as_o a_o reason_n draw_v from_o that_o humanity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n not_o as_o a_o thing_n for_o this_o special_a

can_v take_v away_o the_o principal_a and_o be_v the_o latter_a it_o can_v take_v away_o the_o former_a it_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o accessary_a be_v take_v away_o the_o principal_n shall_v also_o be_v abrogate_a but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o accessary_a remove_v the_o principal_a may_v remain_v the_o appertinance_n be_v past_a the_o more_o general_a substance_n

and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o divorcement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o be_v between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a as_o we_o may_v gather_v coloss_n 2._o and_o galat._n 4._o wherefore_o we_o affirm_v that_o as_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n as_o concern_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v abrogate_a when_o one_o thing_n have_v diverse_a end_n if_o one_o end_n be_v remove_v the_o other_o may_v remain_v for_o as_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

they_o do_v foreshow_v christ_n to_o come_v they_o be_v go_v as_o they_o assure_v we_o what_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n they_o remain_v still_o with_o us._n and_o as_o for_o one_o example_n we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n two_o end_n the_o one_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v now_o cease_v the_o other_o a_o seal_n of_o repentance_n

give_v to_o the_o jew_n as_o they_o be_v jew_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o jew_n but_o as_o it_o be_v moral_a not_o give_v to_o the_o jew_n alone_o but_o to_o our_o first_o father_n before_o the_o

place_n do_v yet_o appertain_v unto_o us._n for_o although_o in_o that_o the_o jew_n come_v together_o to_o one_o place_n as_o it_o represent_v the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o be_v take_v away_o because_o god_n be_v present_a with_o we_o in_o all_o place_n yet_o as_o they_o have_v it_o to_o establish_v they_o in_o their_o worship_n and_o we_o it_o need_v as_o necessary_a help_n for_o religion_n as_o ever_o they_o need_v the_o same_o remain_v with_o us._n now_o if_o the_o sabbath_n be_v but_o a_o sign_n of_o spiritual_a rest_n as_o some_o have_v phantasticallie_o think_v and_o not_o rather_o a_o holy_a school_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o will_v grant_v it_o ceremonial_a but_o sce_v this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n and_o that_o

to_o the_o second_o reason_n draw_v as_o we_o have_v show_v from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o contain_v in_o these_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n

lord_n have_v give_v we_o six_o day_n for_o our_o call_n then_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a or_o straight_o that_o he_o have_v reserve_v and_o take_v up_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o himself_o who_o if_o he_o have_v command_v one_o day_n to_o work_v and_o another_o to_o be_v bestow_v in_o his_o worship_n for_o the_o glorious_a profession_n of_o his_o name_n may_v just_o have_v

this_o kind_n of_o argument_n be_v usual_a in_o the_o seven_o book_n of_o god_n as_o genes_n 3_o 2._o 3._o where_o our_o mother_n euah_n frame_v this_o reason_n to_o the_o serpent_n very_o well_o

to_o know_v what_o be_v moral_o and_o ceremonial_o command_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o give_v we_o this_o special_a rule_n when_o a_o law_n thing_n be_v urge_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o have_v

from_o speak_v against_o the_o sabbath_n in_o this_o place_n that_o he_o set_v down_o the_o pure_a observation_n of_o the_o same_o against_o they_o who_o perverse_o and_o untrue_o do_v judge_v of_o
