of_o the_o observe_n of_o holy_a day_n 1._o quer._n whether_o the_o institution_n of_o other_o holy_a day_n beside_o the_o sabbath_n be_v of_o divine_a right_n answ_n that_o which_o be_v of_o divine_a

of_o divine_a right_n 2._o quer._n whether_o there_o by_o any_o precept_n or_o example_n apostolical_a to_o warrant_v or_o condemn_v the_o celebrate_n of_o any_o such_o day_n or_o neither_o answ_n this_o quere_z be_v needless_a but_o to_o give_v further_a satisfaction_n in_o scripture_n there_o be_v no_o such_o precept_n but_o the_o superstitious_a observation_n thereof_o be_v so_o far_o forbid_v that_o paul_n will_v have_v we_o so_o to_o carry_v ourselves_o herein_o that_o no_o man_n may_v condemn_v we_o for_o the_o superstitious_a respect_n of_o a_o holy_a day_n coloss_n 2.16_o but_o the_o three_o be_v the_o main_a query_n intend_v 3._o quer._n whether_o the_o church_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n have_v authority_n to_o iustitute_v any_o such_o yearly_a festival_n answ_n we_o be_v here_o to_o understand_v who_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o church_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o that_o first_o negative_o not_o such_o as_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o former_a query_n but_o affirmative_o the_o church_n now_o remain_v and_o the_o governor_n and_o officer_n thereof_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o civil_a obedience_n they_o may_v impose_v lawful_a command_n on_o certain_a day_n but_o have_v no_o power_n to_o consecrate_v a_o day_n or_o make_v it_o holy_a the_o sillogisme_n be_v this_o if_o we_o find_v that_o the_o church_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n or_o either_o have_v authority_n in_o godly_a policy_n and_o civil_a respect_n to_o appoint_v the_o solemnity_n of_o yearly_a festival_n day_n the_o holy_a day_n by_o they_o appoint_v may_v be_v observe_v but_o they_o have_v authority_n if_o they_o see_v it_o expedient_a ergo_fw-la they_o may_v be_v observe_v but_o this_o argument_n of_o they_o prove_v nothing_o to_o impose_v a_o necessity_n or_o that_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v to_o observe_v such_o day_n as_o more_o holy_a than_o other_o no_o more_o than_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o spend_v all_o we_o have_v in_o housekeep_v this_o christmas_n for_o if_o the_o minister_n and_o churchwarden_n have_v authority_n to_o beg_v our_o charity_n for_o the_o poor_a we_o may_v give_v they_o all_o we_o have_v but_o they_o have_v such_o authority_n therefore_o in_o conscience_n we_o must_v give_v away_o all_o this_o prove_v nothing_o but_o to_o search_v the_o particular_n more_o exact_o 1._o the_o major_n they_o prove_v thus_o that_o the_o church_n or_o civil_a magistrate_n have_v authority_n to_o appoint_v and_o institute_v yearly_a festival_n in_o policy_n and_o civil_a respect_n be_v warrantable_a by_o the_o example_n of_o purim_n esther_n the_o 9_o mordecheus_fw-la and_o esther_n appoint_v a_o new_a festival_n day_n not_o institute_v of_o god_n and_o bind_v every_o one_o to_o the_o observe_v thereof_o that_o none_o shall_v fail_v to_o observe_v it_o verse_n 27._o from_o this_o bellarmine_n conclude_v that_o man_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o observe_v festival_n day_n bellar._n cap._n 10._o so_o also_o our_o douai_n men._n pag._n 1050._o answ_n 1._o though_o we_o do_v not_o utter_o reject_v festival_n day_n yet_o we_o acknowledge_v none_o necessary_a say_v doctor_n willet_n more_o than_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appoint_v in_o the_o scripture_n 2._o we_o deny_v that_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n do_v bind_v christian_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o day_n themselves_o in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v they_o otherwise_o than_o they_o may_v give_v offence_n by_o their_o contempt_n and_o disobedience_n to_o the_o wholesome_a decree_n of_o the_o church_n for_o itself_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v indifferent_a nothing_o bind_v absolute_o in_o conscience_n but_o that_o which_o be_v warrant_v by_o do_v word_n wherefore_o keep_v of_o holy_a day_n be_v not_o enjoin_v but_o leave_v indifferent_a in_o the_o word_n bind_v not_o otherwise_o then_o as_o we_o have_v say_v 3._o the_o example_n of_o esther_n do_v bind_v the_o observer_n in_o conscience_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o day_n but_o of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v for_o themselves_o and_o their_o seed_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o first_o their_o consent_n be_v require_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o feast_n institute_v for_o that_o so_o miraculous_a a_o passage_n over_o jordan_n none_o for_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o jericho_n nor_o for_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o midianite_n in_o the_o time_n of_o gideon_n nor_o for_o that_o other_o no_o less_o admirable_a of_o the_o ammonite_n and_o other_o people_n confederate_a in_o the_o day_n of_o jehoshophat_n neither_o for_o that_o of_o the_o assyrian_n when_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n destroy_v the_o whole_a host_n and_o who_o can_v reckon_v up_o those_o so_o many_o the_o like_a miraculous_a deliverance_n for_o remembrance_n whereof_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v no_o solemn_a day_n dedicate_v ser._n 25._o on_o esther_n 9.4_o mordecheus_fw-la beside_o his_o ordinary_a authority_n as_o a_o chief_a governor_n have_v also_o some_o prophetical_a direction_n to_o institute_v this_o day_n of_o rejoice_v be_v hold_v to_o have_v write_v also_o that_o book_n of_o esther_n which_o can_v now_o be_v draw_v to_o a_o ordinary_a precedent_n 5._o last_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o have_v be_v appoint_v as_o a_o festival_n day_n of_o rejoice_v and_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o joyful_a remembrance_n of_o that_o deliverance_n then_o as_o a_o new_a holy_a day_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o that_o stricktnes_n as_o the_o holy_a day_n appoint_v by_o the_o law_n for_o they_o keep_v it_o with_o joy_n and_o feast_n and_o send_v present_v one_o to_o another_o v._o 19_o like_o as_o now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o 5._o of_o novemb_n be_v appoint_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o be_v celebrate_v not_o as_o a_o new_a holy_a day_n with_o injunction_n of_o abstinence_n from_o work_n the_o whole_a day_n but_o only_o to_o assemble_v together_o in_o the_o congregation_n to_o give_v god_n thanks_o for_o so_o great_a a_o deliverance_n 2._o they_o bring_v in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o

christ_n the_o first_o argument_n you_o see_v be_v nothing_o worth_a the_o minor_a they_o prove_v thus_o if_o the_o church_n or_o magistrate_n may_v celebrate_v festival_n for_o temporal_a mercy_n they_o may_v do_v it_o for_o spiritual_a mercy_n and_o appoint_v day_n for_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o other_o answer_n the_o difference_n be_v not_o in_o the_o cause_n but_o in_o the_o thing_n not_o about_o the_o matter_n for_o which_o the_o day_n be_v celebrate_v but_o how_o far_o the_o celebration_n itself_o be_v superstitious_a and_o what_o be_v bind_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o ensue_a consideration_n 1._o whether_o a_o holiness_n may_v be_v ascribe_v to_o these_o day_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v only_o indifferent_a and_o mere_o civil_a and_o
