of_o it_o yea_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o yield_v god_n obedience_n to_o the_o one_o half_a of_o his_o four_o come_v as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o half_a this_o be_v not_o to_o have_v respect_n

specify_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o since_o this_o sleit_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n what_o a_o deal_n of_o instability_n and_o profaneness_n have_v creep_v in_o with_o it_o yea_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o since_o this_o sleit_v of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n have_v be_v receive_v sabbath_n never_o do_v thrive_v in_o church_n for_o the_o discovery_n whereof_o let_v we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n look_v we_o first_o into_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n how_o do_v they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n in_o these_o day_n as_o for_o the_o right_a day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n they_o hold_v that_o abolish_v and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o that_o day_n well_o then_o come_v we_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o how_o keep_v they_o that_o why_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o keep_v indeed_o but_o like_o a_o common_a holy_a day_n but_o as_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n now_o have_v they_o retain_v the_o ancient_a purity_n of_o the_o four_o come_v hold_v themselves_o close_a unto_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v dare_v they_o have_v keep_v the_o sabhath_n day_n so_o profanly_a as_o now_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n since_o we_o be_v upon_o the_o point_n we_o may_v by_o the_o way_n discovermore_o of_o rome_n abomination_n we_o use_v to_o charge_v she_o with_o blot_v our_o and_n rase_v the_o second_o come_v so_o as_o they_o have_v but_o 9_o commandment_n but_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o matter_n a_o little_a better_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o have_v blot_v out_o and_o raze_v also_o the_o four_o come_v and_o so_o they_o have_v but_o 8_o commandment_n for_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v neither_o the_o seven_o day_n nor_o the_o 8_o day_n so_o as_o the_o four_o come_v stand_v with_o they_o for_o a_o cipher_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v but_o 4_o commandment_n in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v raze_v out_o two_o of_o they_o &_o have_v lest_o but_o ij_o of_o they_o remain_v so_o then_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v reject_v two_o of_o god_n tenn_o commandment_n and_o retain_v but_o eight_o of_o they_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v four_o come_v in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v reject_v two_o of_o those_o four_o and_o retain_v but_o two_o still_o again_o look_v we_o upon_o the_o anabaptiste_n of_o who_o there_o be_v great_a multitude_n in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o they_o keep_v no_o sabbath_n day_n in_o conscience_n of_o any_o commandment_n from_o god_n but_o only_o for_o order_v sake_n &_o this_o their_o profaneness_n i_o must_v impute_v unto_o this_o sleit_v of_o the_o day_n mention_v in_o the_o four_o come_v as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n any_o man_n may_v see_v they_o do_v not_o that_o without_o a_o cause_n since_o there_o be_v no_o institution_n for_o it_o leave_v by_o christ_n and_o as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n this_o i_o impute_v unto_o the_o general_a sleit_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n make_v by_o all_o church_n the_o which_o they_o be_v nuzz_v up_o in_o have_v grow_v to_o sleit_v it_o also_o nevertheless_o this_o they_o will_v confess_v upon_o argument_n that_o if_o any_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n it_o must_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o evil_a effect_n have_v follow_v since_o the_o sleit_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n for_o papist_n keep_v no_o sabbath_n according_a to_o the_o four_o come_v and_o anabaptiste_n keep_v no_o sabbath_n at_o all_o as_o institute_v of_o god_n but_o count_v every_o day_n a_o sabbath_n or_o all_o day_n a_o like_a last_o come_v we_o unto_o protestant_n &_o among_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o much_o evil_n have_v creep_v into_o church_n since_o the_o sleit_a opinion_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v invade_v the_o world_n for_o the_o church_n at_o geneva_n it_o be_v in_o every_o man_n mouth_n how_o sleity_o they_o have_v keep_v all_o sabbath_n for_o the_o church_n in_o the_o low_a country_n &_o up_o into_o germany_n it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o light_a a_o esteem_n they_o have_v have_v of_o sabbath_n &_o for_o our_o own_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n how_o sleit_a a_o esteem_n have_v be_v make_v of_o sabbath_n not_o many_o year_n past_a now_o can_v we_o think_v that_o these_o so_o famous_a church_n will_v have_v be_v so_o sleitey_a in_o a_o matter_n so_o seriouse_a be_v be_v not_o hence_o that_o that_o special_a time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v sleit_v as_o deem_v a_o ceremony_n which_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v they_o all_o see_v full_a well_o that_o the_o four_o come_v can_v not_o be_v press_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o give_v liberty_n &_o take_v liberty_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o thus_o god_n time_n be_v sleit_v all_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v &_o so_o in_o conclusion_n you_o see_v sabbath_n do_v never_o thrive_v &_o prosper_v in_o the_o church_n as_o they_o will_v have_v do_v if_o this_o time_n have_v not_o be_v sleit_v come_v we_o unto_o some_o particular_a man_n since_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n have_v be_v sleit_v no_o stability_n can_v be_v find_v out_o for_o any_o sabbath_n day_n but_o even_o divine_n of_o the_o chief_a rank_n have_v stagger_v &_o be_v in_o a_o mamere_n what_o to_o say_v or_o think_v of_o the_o point_n for_o example_n worthy_a perkine_n we_o can_v speak_v in_o these_o point_n say_v he_o but_o by_o likelihoode_n i_o but_o have_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v still_o in_o use_n he_o can_v have_v go_v beyond_o likelyhoode_n and_o have_v speak_v peremptory_o &_o without_o doubt_n what_o shall_v i_o rekone_v up_o caluine_a zanchie_a vrsinus_n with_o many_o other_o forecited_a all_o which_o have_v so_o sleit_v all_o sabbath_n since_o this_o sleit_a esteem_n of_o the_o old_a day_n have_v invade_v the_o church_n as_o that_o their_o judgment_n be_v that_o now_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n of_o high_a nature_n than_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n &_o that_o our_o present_a sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v but_o for_o order_n sake_n loe_o these_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o come_v from_o this_o objection_n of_o sleit_v the_o time_n as_o if_o god_n regard_v nothing_o but_o the_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n but_o not_o the_o day_n itself_o these_o i_o say_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o sleit_v the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n instability_n &_o doubtfulness_n in_o judgement_n touch_v the_o sabbath_n &_o profaneness_n in_o sanctify_a god_n sabbath_n &_o where_o these_o two_o take_v place_n sabbath_n shall_v never_o thrive_v nor_o prosper_v long_o i_o never_o look_v to_o see_v either_o divine_n stable_n in_o judgement_n &_o unanimouse_n in_o consent_n touch_v sabbath_n or_o church_n zealouse_a in_o sanctify_v they_o until_o first_o all_o agree_v to_o honour_v that_o very_a day_n &_o time_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v sleight_v not_o this_o time_n therefore_o since_o the_o fruit_n of_o such_o do_n have_v be_v &_o will_v be_v of_o so_o evil_a consequence_n object_n xi_o some_o object_n thus_o say_v why_o now_o all_o time_n be_v alike_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v no_o time_n more_o holy_a than_o other_o or_o more_o fit_a for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n than_o other_o now_o i_o answer_v 1._o why_o may_v there_o not_o be_v some_o time_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n more_o holy_a than_o other_o as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v now_o some_o person_n more_o honourable_a than_o other_o if_o by_o the_o 5_o come_v we_o hold_v some_o

day_n than_o friday_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n now_o i_o trust_v no_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n keep_v friday_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n no_o nor_o yet_o that_o they_o keep_v both_o these_o as_o sabbath_n the_o friday_n &_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v have_v keep_v ij_o or_o iij_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n thus_o you_o see_v their_o argument_n fetch_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a sect_n xx._n their_o three_o argument_n from_o testimony_n be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n together_o for_o say_v they_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n now_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n &_o upward_o &_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o god_n church_n shall_v lay_v in_o a_o error_n so_o long_o what_o sixetene_n hundred_v year_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v not_o ever_o &_o in_o all_o place_n keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n until_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n so_o as_o in_o all_o porbability_n it_o be_v not_o keep_v for_o 300_o year_n by_o some_o church_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v quote_v out_o of_o perkins_n in_o the_o last_o section_n before_o this_o 2._o in_o those_o church_n where_o it_o be_v keep_v it_o be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o as_o a_o holy_a day_n remissly_a and_o with_o work_n of_o husbandry_n do_v in_o it_o &_o like_v as_o they_o keep_v their_o friday_n as_o we_o have_v show_v in_o the_o former_a section_n 3._o since_o those_o foremost_a age_n of_o the_o church_n it_o have_v be_v keep_v by_o all_o christian_a church_n be_v romish_n but_o as_o a_o other_o holy_a day_n until_o luther_n and_o many_o year_n since_o for_o until_o luther_n or_o thereabouts_o our_o church_n have_v lyen_fw-we bury_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n as_o wheat_n in_o the_o chaff_n now_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v hold_n &_o maintain_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v but_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v but_o like_o a_o other_o holy_a day_n &_o not_o by_o the_o four_o come_v &_o herein_o they_o be_v near_o the_o truth_n than_o we_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v jump_v and_o agree_v with_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o constantins_n time_n &_o how_o both_o in_o constantins_n time_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n since_o until_o luther_n time_n the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v account_v but_o as_o a_o holy_a day_n the_o contrary_a whereto_o can_v be_v show_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o account_n the_o church_n have_v make_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o luther_n time_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o fiften_v hundred_v year_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o the_o time_n since_o luther_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o survey_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o france_n &_o the_o low_a country_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o have_v keep_v it_o remissly_a like_o a_o holy_a day_n not_o like_o a_o sabbath_n day_n save_v that_o in_o the_o low_a country_n at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v more_o solemn_o keep_v much_o what_o as_o solemn_o as_o we_o in_o england_n keep_v it_o now_o but_o they_o have_v not_o keep_v it_o so_o solemn_o until_o now_o of_o late_a year_n as_o within_o this_o 7_o or_o 10_o year_n or_o thereabouts_o as_o be_v well_o know_v come_v we_o then_o unto_o our_o own_o church_n which_o be_v the_o most_o famous_a church_n for_o keep_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n of_o any_o other_o i_o demand_v how_o long_o our_o church_n of_o england_n have_v keep_v this_o day_n so_o zealous_o as_o now_o it_o do_v it_o be_v well_o know_v by_o man_n of_o year_n that_o can_v but_o remember_v 40_o or_o 50_o year_n ago_o that_o then_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v as_o it_o be_v now_o i_o spare_v to_o make_v a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o ordinary_a work_n of_o man_n caleing_n then_o do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n public_o &_o frequent_o i_o can_v remember_v 40_o year_n past_a and_o yet_o in_o my_o time_n i_o can_v remember_v such_o ordinary_a work_n do_v general_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n as_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n work_v i_o be_o sure_a but_o for_o the_o particular_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n of_o great_a age_n &_o more_o year_n thus_o i_o have_v brief_o give_v you_o a_o survey_n of_o the_o time_n &_o age_n of_o the_o church_n &_o how_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v in_o account_n &_o in_o practice_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n until_o now_o with_o in_o these_o 40_o or_o 50_o year_n &_o hitherto_o it_o have_v not_o be_v keep_v like_o a_o sabbath_n day_n how_o then_o can_v the_o patron_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n boast_v that_o it_o bathe_v be_v keep_v as_o a_o sabbath_n in_o the_o church_n constant_o for_o sixetene_n hundred_o year_n &_o whereas_o they_o ask_v by_o way_n of_o admiration_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n shall_v lie_v in_o a_o error_n so_o long_o what_o 1600_o year_n they_o bewray_v their_o own_o error_n &_o ignorance_n to_o speak_v so_o for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o church_n never_o account_v it_o or_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o for_o a_o holy_a day_n remissly_a for_o 1500_o or_o 1600_o year_n together_o but_o admit_v that_o our_o church_n or_o some_o in_o our_o church_n rather_o have_v account_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o four_o come_v for_o this_o 40_o year_n or_o 50_o year_n make_v they_o such_o a_o wonder_n that_o a_o church_n may_v lie_v in_o such_o a_o error_n as_o this_o be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v unpossible_a what_o will_v they_o then_o say_v unto_o the_o church_n that_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n that_o neglect_v the_o lord_n day_n all_o together_o for_o a_o matter_n of_o 300_o year_n until_o it_o be_v reviue_v by_o christian_a emperor_n as_o we_o have_v former_o prove_v why_o may_v not_o our_o church_n or_o some_o in_o our_o church_n rather_o err_v in_o think_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n when_o it_o be_v not_o as_o well_o as_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n do_v err_v as_o these_o man_n think_v that_o patronag_n the_o lord_n day_n in_o think_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v at_o all_o if_o they_o may_v err_v for_o 300_o year_n together_o may_v it_o not_o be_v think_v possible_a for_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n to_o err_v for_o 40_o or_o 50_o year_n together_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o have_v err_v so_o long_o it_o be_v the_o error_n only_o of_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n who_o have_v err_v from_o their_o cradle_n &_o they_o think_v therefore_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n have_v also_o ever_o be_v in_o error_n with_o they_o from_o the_o apostle_n day_n until_o now_o indeed_o they_o will_v fain_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o all_o god_n church_n have_v ever_o be_v of_o their_o mind_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o you_o

by_o this_o gold_v conceit_n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o constant_o keep_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n since_o the_o apostle_n they_o have_v lead_v the_o world_n after_o they_o and_o now_o they_o have_v breed_v such_o a_o firuent_a zeal_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o man_n as_o that_o they_o think_v it_o no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n for_o
