a_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n there_o be_v any_o legal_a figure_n and_o ceremony_n which_o be_v to_o be_v abrogate_a by_o christ_n that_o indeed_o god_n in_o the_o foresay_a passage_n of_o exodus_fw-la and_o ezechiel_n say_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v to_o the_o israelite_n a_o sign_n that_o god_n sanctify_v they_o but_o the_o word_n sign_n signify_v not_o always_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n for_o love_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o be_v christ_n disciple_n and_o be_v not_o a_o type_n and_o the_o public_a profession_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o that_o thing_n and_o be_v not_o a_o type_n thereof_o even_o so_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o strict_a keep_n thereof_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o the_o strait_a communion_n which_o be_v between_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a israelite_n as_o it_o have_v still_o the_o same_o use_n towards_o christian_n but_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o which_o be_v abrogate_a by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n a_o sign_n typical_a and_o figurative_a of_o thing_n to_o come_v to_o the_o fulfil_n whereof_o it_o ought_v to_o yield_v and_o give_v place_n but_o only_o a_o doctrinal_a sign_n that_o be_v give_v to_o be_v unto_o they_o a_o document_n and_o instruction_n of_o god_n benefit_n towards_o they_o and_o of_o their_o duty_n to_o he_o which_o therefore_o be_v such_o a_o sign_n that_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o subsist_v together_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o it_o signify_v and_o so_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v abrogate_a at_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o continue_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o sign_n and_o document_n of_o the_o same_o benefit_n which_o concern_v we_o as_o much_o as_o the_o israelite_n 4_o but_o this_o reply_n be_v of_o no_o better_a mettle_n than_o the_o former_a and_o the_o distinction_n that_o it_o be_v found_v upon_o be_v vain_a and_o frivolous_a it_o be_v true_a that_o whatsoever_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n may_v in_o some_o sort_n be_v call_v a_o sign_n be_v not_o always_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n for_o the_o word_n sign_n be_v now_o and_o then_o take_v in_o

for_o every_o adjunct_n denote_v the_o subject_n wherein_o it_o be_v inherent_a as_o in_o the_o example_n aforesaid_a the_o action_n and_o course_n that_o man_n take_v themselves_o unto_o may_v be_v sign_n of_o their_o inward_a disposition_n of_o their_o religion_n or_o of_o some_o other_o thing_n that_o concern_v they_o and_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o by_o this_o shall_v

be_v no_o such_o sign_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v not_o a_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o come_v 5_o the_o sabbath_n ought_v to_o be_v sort_v among_o these_o i_o
