a_o serious_a and_o brief_a discourse_n touch_v the_o sabbath-day_n intend_a to_o decide_v and_o determine_v all_o controversy_n respect_v that_o subject_a by_o thomas_n cleadon_n rector_n of_o

that_o we_o may_v be_v true_o and_o clear_o inform_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sabbath_n we_o must_v consider_v and_o receive_v these_o follow_a truth_n first_o that_o adam_n so_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v of_o god_n nor_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v under_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o so_o not_o under_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n for_o can_v it_o rational_o be_v suppose_v that_o adam_n be_v create_v perfect_o holy_a gen._n 1._o 26_o 27_o make_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n which_o be_v perfect_a in_o adam_n his_o understanding_n be_v as_o full_a of_o concreated_a light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o work_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o his_o present_a happiness_n and_o he_o be_v suitable_o perfect_a in_o his_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o therefore_o while_o he_o continue_v in_o this_o perfect_a holy_a estate_n what_o need_n have_v he_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o of_o what_o use_n can_v they_o be_v unto_o he_o he_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_v a_o image_n or_o to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a nor_o can_v he_o know_v any_o of_o the_o sin_n forbid_v nor_o any_o of_o the_o duty_n command_v in_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o be_v of_o it_o any_o use_n to_o he_o who_o be_v perfect_o holy_a nor_o do_v he_o know_v that_o god_n will_v set_v apart_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o the_o rest_n for_o have_v he_o continue_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n more_o day_n than_o that_o in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v the_o eight_o day_n and_o the_o nine_o and_o the_o ten_o day_n and_o every_o have_v be_v alike_o holy_a to_o he_o and_o as_o much_o a_o sabbath_n to_o he_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o he_o will_v have_v be_v still_o perfect_o holy_a and_o therefore_o not_o subject_a to_o bodily_a weariness_n and_o so_o need_v not_o bodily_a rest_n nor_o will_v he_o then_o have_v need_v any_o of_o those_o outward_a duty_n and_o ordinance_n of_o worship_n require_v of_o we_o in_o the_o second_o or_o four_o commandment_n for_o our_o spiritual_a edification_n and_o comfort_n for_o he_o need_v not_o either_o spiritual_a information_n or_o spiritual_a comfort_n or_o spiritual_a growth_n as_o we_o do_v since_o the_o fall_n a_o perfect_a estate_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o of_o these_o spiritual_a help_n and_o mean_n no_o more_o than_o the_o holy_a saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v now_o need_v or_o use_v of_o they_o and_o hence_o two_o thing_n must_v necessary_o be_v infer_v 1._o that_o man_n be_v fall_v from_o his_o innocency_n before_o he_o be_v command_v to_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n or_o holy_a rest_n as_o it_o be_v afterward_o express_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n great_a design_n in_o create_a man_n be_v not_o his_o continuance_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n for_o one_o day_n and_o therefore_o as_o soon_o as_o man_n be_v create_v and_o put_v into_o paradise_n god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o he_o for_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n that_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v first_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n shall_v present_o die_v that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a death_n by_o be_v strip_v of_o that_o holy_a image_n of_o god_n in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v but_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v first_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o stand_v next_o to_o the_o other_o than_o he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o in_o their_o present_a holy_a and_o happy_a estate_n now_o the_o devil_n hear_v and_o know_v that_o god_n have_v make_v this_o covenant_n with_o he_o and_o fear_v lest_o adam_n shall_v eat_v first_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o so_o he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o he_o be_v full_a of_o envy_n and_o malice_n and_o subtlety_n he_o present_o enter_v into_o the_o serpent_n and_o in_o and_o by_o the_o serpent_n persuade_v and_o prevail_v with_o eve_n and_o by_o eve_n persuade_v and_o prevail_v with_o adam_n to_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o forbid_a tree_n and_o so_o they_o both_o and_o all_o their_o posterity_n be_v deprive_v of_o that_o innocent_a and_o holy_a estate_n in_o which_o they_o be_v create_v therefore_o god_n great_a design_n in_o create_a man_n be_v that_o by_o his_o fall_n he_o may_v take_v occasion_n to_o glorify_v both_o his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n and_o saviour_n which_o he_o do_v in_o promise_n immediate_o upon_o man_n fall_n gen._n 3._o 15_o and_o by_o actual_a exhibition_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v gal._n 4._o 4_o and_o therefore_o adam_n continuance_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n for_o so_o short_a a_o time_n be_v most_o suitable_a to_o god_n great_a design_n in_o man_n creation_n 2._o this_o also_o must_v necessary_o be_v infer_v that_o adam_n be_v create_v perfect_o innocent_a and_o holy_a can_v not_o fall_v from_o that_o holy_a and_o happy_a estate_n by_o any_o other_o way_n but_o only_o by_o do_v some_o outward_a act_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n lawful_a which_o god_n shall_v forbid_v he_o to_o do_v and_o god_n forbid_v he_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n which_o be_v in_o itself_o lawful_a but_o become_v unlawful_a for_o he_o to_o eat_v of_o that_o fruit_n by_o a_o positive_a negative_a precept_n from_o god_n gen._n 2._o 17._o for_o god_n never_o make_v with_o man_n but_o two_o covenant_n essential_o differ_v one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o first_o be_v make_v with_o man_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n before_o his_o fall_n express_v in_o gen._n 2._o 16_o 17_o and_o this_o if_o you_o will_v you_o may_v call_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o this_o covenant_n he_o break_v gen._n 3._o 6._o and_o the_o second_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o man_n in_o his_o lapse_v or_o fall_v estate_n be_v devoid_a of_o all_o spiritual_a good_a overspread_v with_o original_a sin_n and_o under_o the_o guilt_n of_o eternal_a death_n and_o this_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n touch_v the_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n of_o man_n a_o sinner_n by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n god_n do_v reveal_v and_o express_v to_o adam_n immediate_o upon_o his_o fall_n in_o gen._n 3._o 15._o and_o what_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o be_v his_o will_n in_o reference_n to_o man_n a_o sinner_n ever_o since_o he_o make_v that_o promise_n have_v be_v but_o a_o explication_n and_o amplification_n of_o that_o covenant-promise_n make_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n since_o that_o first_o promise_v make_v to_o man_n in_o his_o lapse_v estate_n god_n have_v reveal_v to_o man_n a_o sinner_n or_o rather_o to_o his_o church_n and_o people_n by_o such_o degree_n and_o mean_n as_o he_o please_v for_o as_o for_o the_o first_o two_o thousand_o year_n after_o that_o promise_n god_n reveal_v his_o will_n and_o mind_n to_o his_o people_n not_o by_o writing_n but_o either_o by_o vision_n or_o dream_n or_o by_o audible_a voice_n and_o the_o like_a but_o at_o the_o end_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n when_o god_n bring_v his_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n they_o be_v grow_v to_o a_o great_a nation_n in_o their_o passage_n through_o the_o wilderness_n god_n establish_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o they_o in_o a_o more_o public_a way_n and_o after_o a_o more_o solemn_a manner_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n and_o then_o and_o not_o before_o he_o speak_v the_o ten_o commandment_n to_o they_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o also_o he_o write_v they_o in_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n to_o be_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o all_o succeed_a church_n in_o covenant_n with_o he_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o exod._n 31._o 18._o now_o these_o ten_o word_n or_o ten_o commandment_n be_v no_o where_o in_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o moral_a law_n but_o by_o divine_a writer_n they_o be_v so_o call_v a_o morando_fw-la because_o they_o
be_v and_o be_v to_o continue_v a_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v moral_a not_o simple_o and_o absolute_o but_o synecdochical_o or_o in_o some_o respect_n only_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n right_o to_o understand_v they_o we_o must_v consider_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o substance_n of_o every_o commandment_n and_o second_o the_o circumstance_n of_o every_o commandment_n now_o the_o substance_n of_o every_o commandment_n be_v moral_a of_o perpetual_a equity_n and_o knowable_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n in_o man_n fall_v but_o the_o circumstance_n be_v positive_a and_o depend_v upon_o revelation_n or_o god_n positive_a command_n express_v in_o the_o scripture_n this_o be_v true_a of_o every_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n i_o shall_v instance_n only_o in_o two_o of_o they_o which_o will_v give_v light_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o shall_v instance_n in_o the_o second_o and_o four_o commandment_n first_o the_o second_o commandment_n concern_v the_o outward_a worship_n of_o god_n now_o the_o morality_n or_o substance_n of_o this_o second_o commandment_n be_v this_o thou_o shall_v outward_o worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n only_o by_o such_o way_n and_o duty_n as_o he_o shall_v command_v and_o appoint_v and_o this_o may_v be_v know_v to_o fall_v man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n for_o that_o do_v dictate_v to_o he_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v only_o by_o such_o duty_n way_n and_o mean_n as_o he_o shall_v command_v and_o appoint_v but_o for_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o commandment_n namely_o the_o particular_a duty_n and_o ordinance_n by_o which_o god_n will_v be_v outward_o worship_v they_o depend_v whole_o upon_o revelation_n and_o the_o positive_a command_n of_o god_n for_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n command_v of_o god_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o second_o commandment_n so_o the_o substance_n or_o morality_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n only_o remember_v the_o sabbath-day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a that_o be_v thou_o shall_v keep_v holy_a that_o day_n of_o rest_n which_o i_o do_v appoint_v and_o this_o also_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n may_v dictate_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n only_o to_o set_v apart_o and_o appoint_v to_o his_o people_n a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n and_o all_o the_o other_o word_n express_v in_o this_o commandment_n be_v but_o circumstantial_a and_o depend_v upon_o revelation_n as_o the_o appoint_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n be_v by_o positive_a command_n of_o god_n for_o adam_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n can_v not_o know_v by_o his_o concreated_a light_n that_o god_n will_v finish_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n in_o six_o day_n and_o yet_o god_n do_v make_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n gen._n 2._o 3._o much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v know_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n in_o man_n fall_v we_o read_v of_o aristotle_n that_o great_a philosopher_n who_o do_v excel_v in_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n that_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o world_n have_v no_o beginning_n and_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o heb._n 11._o 3_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v that_o the_o world_n be_v frame_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o which_o we_o understand_v by_o faith_n we_o know_v by_o revelation_n only_o which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o create_a time_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o six_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o holy_a time_n to_o fall_v man_n but_o by_o god_n special_a and_o positive_a command_n and_o institution_n 2._o a_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v this_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n appoint_v of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o sabbath_n or_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n incarnation_n be_v but_o the_o positive_a part_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n do_v cease_v and_o end_v as_o a_o holy_a sabbath_n at_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o though_o it_o be_v primary_o command_v of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o observe_v yet_o afterward_o a_o typical_a sense_n and_o use_n be_v by_o moses_n from_o god_n add_v to_o it_o as_o circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n they_o be_v institute_v to_o be_v the_o ordinary_a sacrament_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v both_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o

the_o gospel_n so_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v primary_o by_o a_o positive_a command_n of_o god_n set_v apart_o to_o be_v the_o jew_n weekly_o holy_a sabbath_n yet_o it_o
