against_o they_o say_v well_o you_o reject_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v observe_v your_o own_o tradition_n mark_n 7.9_o for_o they_o trample_v down_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n

this_o purpose_n they_o be_v this_o one_o text_n but_o if_o now_o our_o divine_n will_v stand_v to_o defend_v these_o 4_o answer_n which_o i_o have_v confute_v then_o why_o may_v not_o any_o of_o these_o libertine_n or_o the_o rest_n make_v the_o same_o answer_n to_o they_o when_o they_o produce_v this_o text_n mat._n 5.18_o to_o defend_v the_o perpetuity_n of_o god_n law_n as_o first_o why_o may_v not_o these_o libertine_n answer_v say_v by_o the_o word_n law_n in_o mat._n 5.18_o may_v be_v mean_v both_o the_o moral_a &_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o so_o christ_n shall_v ratify_v the_o moral_a law_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n 2._o and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o answer_v also_o that_o the_o duration_n of_o the_o law_n here_o speak_v of_o by_o christ_n be_v but_o until_o christ_n passion_n 3._o and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o answer_v you_o also_o that_o there_o be_v some_o iote_n &_o thing_n in_o the_o law_n that_o belong_v not_o unto_o we_o christianes_n as_o in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o commandment_n god_n deliverance_n of_o the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o the_o reason_n to_o the_o 5_o come_v that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o in_o the_o land_n that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o that_o be_v in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n that_o so_o you_o shall_v not_o from_o this_o text_n defend_v all_o and_o every_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n wherefore_o either_o they_o must_v withdraw_v &_o renounce_v these_o 3_o answer_n make_v to_o i_o or_o else_o they_o must_v receive_v they_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o libertine_n anabaptist_n &_o antinomian_o thus_o much_o for_o my_o 10_o argument_n whereby_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o he_o ratify_v the_o very_a lest_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n argum._n xi_o my_o eleaventh_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v have_v it_o observe_v for_o about_o ●0_n year_n after_o the_o death_n of_o all_o ceremony_n say_v pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o in_o the_o winter_n nor_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n mat._n 24_o 20._o and_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o frame_v he_o that_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n possible_a that_o they_o 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 sabbath_n day_n sanctify_v &_o still_o in_o force_n but_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v all_o possible_a mean_n that_o they_o may_v not_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o work_v 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 still_o in_o force_n for_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n two_o thing_n be_v there_o in_o considerable_a as_o for_o the_o former_a it_o be_v a_o most_o clear_a case_n for_o he_o that_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 adultery_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n will_v have_v he_o live_v chaste_o the_o remove_n of_o one_o contrary_a be_v the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o other_o the_o forbid_v of_o a_o sin_n be_v the_o command_a of_o its_o contrary_a virtue_n and_o further_o he_o that_o will_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o any_o evil_n he_o will_v that_o that_o evil_n shall_v be_v avoid_v &_o the_o contrary_a good_a bring_v in_o &_o so_o he_o that_o command_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v not_o be_v profane_v he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n profane_v but_o that_o the_o contrary_a good_a shall_v be_v bring_v in_o which_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v for_o to_o that_o very_a end_n that_o 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 neither_o be_v it_o abolish_v with_o ceremony_n as_o a_o ceremony_n for_o than_o no_o care_n shoul_n have_v be_v use_v so_o long_o after_o for_o its_o observation_n now_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bolish_v with_o ceremony_n at_o the_o proper_a time_n when_o all_o ceremony_n be_v abolish_v then_o be_v it_o no_o ceremony_n but_o a_o moral_a &_o consequent_o to_o last_v perpetual_o i_o grant_v that_o many_o ceremony_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n long_o after_o they_o be_v abolish_v but_o it_o be_v by_o connivency_n and_o by_o sufferance_n only_o &_o for_o the_o weakness_n of_o those_o time_n but_o never_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o they_o as_o this_o be_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v not_o by_o connivency_n for_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v against_o the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n do_v thereby_o warrant_v the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o furthermore_o whatsoever_o be_v authorize_v to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n 40_o or_o 50_o year_n after_o christ_n his_o death_n that_o be_v still_o to_o be_v retain_v &_o use_v in_o the_o church_n for_o all_o thing_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v either_o erect_v or_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n for_o 10.20.30_o or_o 40_o year_n after_o christ_n his_o passion_n not_o as_o connive_v at_o but_o as_o authorize_v &_o as_o a_o duty_n those_o thing_n be_v still_o in_o force_n in_o the_o church_n no_o instance_n can_v be_v show_v to_o the_o contrary_n and_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o major_a i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n &_o this_o i_o prove_v out_o of_o mat._n 24.20_o but_o pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o in_o the_o winter_n neither_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n do_v full_o prove_v my_o minor_n for_o 1._o these_o word_n be_v a_o commandment_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o he_o bid_v they_o pray_v but_o pray_v etc._n etc._n 2._o this_o commandment_n it_o be_v direct_v unto_o his_o disciple_n as_o you_o may_v see_v mat._n 24.1.2_o three_o this_o commandment_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v use_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o avoid_v their_o flight_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o this_o flight_n but_o only_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o their_o study_n &_o care_n and_o other_o 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 more_o mean_n can_v have_v be_v use_v christ_n will_v have_v have_v more_o use_v 4._o this_o mean_n of_o prayer_n to_o god_n which_o christ_n command_v they_o to_o use_v be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v not_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereby_o you_o
