stand_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o make_v this_o homily_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v put_v down_o the_o proem_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n of_o the_o

be_v never_o apply_v to_o sunday_n either_o in_o a_o vulgar_a or_o legal_a acceptation_n and_o though_o the_o doctor_n fancy_v this_o act_n be_v in_o force_n at_o the_o time_n when_o this_o homily_n be_v make_v and_o therefore_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n contradict_v so_o sacred_a a_o authority_n as_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n because_o this_o act_n though_o repeal_v by_o queen_n mary_n he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v revive_v again_o the_o first_o year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o so_o to_o stand_v in_o force_n at_o the_o time_n of_o make_v this_o homily_n whereas_o whoever_o consult_v our_o statute-book_n will_v find_v that_o this_o statute_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o 6_o be_v not_o revive_v nor_o in_o force_n till_o the_o first_o of_o king_n james_n when_o the_o repeal_n of_o this_o statute_n be_v again_o repeal_v though_o certain_o the_o revive_n of_o that_o or_o any_o other_o statute_n do_v not_o make_v their_o

of_o a_o convocation_n but_o i_o have_v dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o this_o head_n which_o i_o can_v not_o well_o contract_n if_o i_o speak_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o justify_v the_o lord_n

in_o place_n where_o bishop_n can_v be_v have_v the_o ordination_n by_o presbyter_n stand_v valid_a and_o however_o say_v he_o i_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o the_o church_n in_o france_n who_o

yet_o for_o the_o testify_a my_o communion_n with_o these_o church_n which_o i_o do_v love_n and_o honour_n as_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n universal_a i_o do_v profess_v that_o with_o like_a

have_v sever_v themselves_o from_o their_o bishop_n can_v possible_o by_o i_o be_v excuse_v from_o be_v schismatical_a and_o conclude_v with_o another_o clause_n viz._n for_o the_o agreement_n or_o

have_v any_o kind_n of_o interest_n therein_o but_o such_o as_o be_v elect_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n since_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o supralapsarian_a

save_v the_o whole_a world_n if_o they_o will_v lay_v hold_n of_o it_o and_o apply_v it_o to_o themselves_o but_o the_o reason_n why_o all_o man_n be_v not_o thereby_o save_v be_v because_o they_o

and_o in_o the_o catechism_n of_o his_o redeem_n all_o mankind_n must_v certain_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o restrictive_a sense_n viz._n to_o as_o many_o of_o the_o world_n of_o mankind_n as_o

second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o one_o of_o the_o exhortation_n before_o the_o communion_n where_o we_o find_v the_o people_n be_v exhort_v by_o the_o priest_n that_o if_o they_o can_v quiet_v

that_o by_o the_o four_o commandment_n it_o be_v god_n perpetual_a will_n to_o have_v one_o solemn_a and_o stand_a day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o people_n to_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n and_o serve_v he_o second_o that_o this_o day_n though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n yet_o be_v still_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o day_n of_o rest_n be_v still_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o still_o observe_v not_o only_o because_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n resurrection_n on_o this_o day_n but_o also_o that_o we_o keep_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o sunday_n as_o well_o for_o that_o it_o be_v god_n express_a commandment_n as_o also_o to_o show_v ourselves_o dutiful_a child_n in_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o gracious_a lord_n and_o father_n who_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n three_o that_o on_o this_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o sunday_n we_o ought_v to_o rest_v from_o our_o lawful_a and_o needful_a work_n and_o common_a and_o
