have_v god_n command_v every_o day_n of_o our_o life_n to_o be_v whole_o devote_v to_o he_o it_o have_v be_v but_o reason_n and_o equity_n and_o since_o that_o out_o of_o regard_n to_o our_o weakness_n and_o that_o condition_n of_o mortality_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v we_o he_o require_v but_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n to_o be_v more_o especial_o set_v apart_o for_o his_o service_n it_o be_v most_o irrational_a not_o to_o give_v he_o that_o beside_o our_o merciful_a lord_n have_v a_o regard_n in_o this_o commandment_n even_o to_o the_o beast_n themselves_o as_o a_o part_n of_o his_o creation_n which_o sure_o be_v not_o to_o be_v worse_o use_v now_o under_o the_o gospel_n than_o under_o the_o law_n but_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o be_v rest_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o as_o they_o have_v then_o 3._o since_o that_o this_o be_v reasonable_a what_o fit_a day_n can_v we_o pitch_v upon_o than_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n on_o which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n jesus_n arise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o if_o the_o jew_n together_o with_o the_o commemoration_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n wherein_o god_n have_v perfect_v all_o his_o work_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n do_v likewise_o keep_v holy_a that_o day_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o deliverance_n from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o pharaoh_n how_o much_o great_a reason_n have_v we_o to_o solemnize_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n with_o they_o indeed_o to_o celebrate_v the_o goodness_n wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n in_o make_v of_o all_o thing_n in_o remember_v the_o glorious_a resurrection_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o rise_v as_o a_o triumphant_a conqueror_n from_o his_o bed_n of_o darkness_n after_o he_o have_v dis-mantled_n the_o prison_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o grave_a and_o wrought_v a_o mighty_a salvation_n for_o mankind_n 4._o that_o as_o god_n do_v then_o so_o christ_n have_v transmit_v his_o power_n to_o they_o the_o apostle_n and_o succeed_a church_n of_o god_n now_o may_v very_o reasonable_o dispose_v of_o we_o in_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o direct_v all_o its_o member_n into_o some_o uniform_a way_n at_o such_o set_a time_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o appear_v both_o by_o some_o mention_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o by_o the_o constant_a suffrage_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o church_n since_o that_o time_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a obligation_n on_o all_o christian_n to_o a_o due_a constant_a and_o diligent_a observation_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n remember_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o this_o command_n be_v give_v by_o moses_n and_o so_o at_o a_o end_n and_o therefore_o that_o christian_n be_v not_o bind_v by_o it_o let_v he_o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n and_o consider_v it_o well_o and_o then_o he_o will_v see_v there_o be_v no_o weight_n in_o the_o objection_n and_o so_o will_v not_o be_v move_v when_o by_o impertinent_a cavil_v fellow_n it_o be_v urge_v upon_o he_o i_o say_v therefore_o first_o that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v moral_a and_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n bind_v all_o christian_n still_o and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o these_o rebellious_a quaker_n disow_v their_o mother_n have_v make_v they_o a_o part_n of_o her_o liturgy_n and_o all_o good_a people_n teach_v they_o to_o their_o child_n in_o their_o catechism_n as_o know_v that_o all_o christian_n be_v to_o

man_n to_o god_n and_o his_o neighbour_n give_v first_o by_o moses_n and_o afterward_o repeat_v and_o inculcate_v by_o the_o prophet_n but_o to_o fulfil_v they_o that_o be_v to_o supply_v accomplish_v and_o perfect_a those_o rule_n and_o doctrine_n of_o just_a and_o unjust_a contain_v in_o they_o by_o a_o more_o ample_a interpretation_n and_o other_o improvement_n befit_v the_o state_n of_o the_o

not_o to_o destroy_v that_o be_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o law_n but_o to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o it_o but_o who_o can_v imagine_v without_o blasphemy_n our_o bless_a saviour_n will_v be_v guilty_a of_o such_o a_o absurd_a speech_n now_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v ask_v why_o then_o christ_n do_v not_o improve_v the_o four_o commandment_n touch_v the_o keep_n holy_a of_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o this_o be_v already_o strict_o observe_v among_o the_o jew_n even_o unto_o superstition_n and_o therefore_o there_o need_v rather_o a_o relaxation_n than_o a_o addition_n to_o this_o commandment_n for_o whereas_o the_o jew_n on_o that_o day_n will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o kindle_v a_o fire_n or_o dress_v the_o meat_n they_o shall_v eat_v or_o carry_v any_o burden_n or_o take_v a_o journey_n and_o hence_o accuse_v our_o saviour_n for_o heal_v on_o the_o sabbath_n and_o his_o disciple_n for_o pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n jesus_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n intimate_v that_o work_v of_o necessity_n and_o mercy_n may_v lawful_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n though_o not_o the_o work_v of_o a_o man_n ordinary_a trade_n and_o employment_n sect_n ii_o worship_n almighty_a god_n have_v give_v the_o whole_a earth_n to_o man_n for_o his_o habitation_n common_a reason_n and_o justice_n require_v that_o man_n shall_v sanctisie_n and_o separate_v some_o peculiar_a place_n for_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o his_o great_a creator_n and_o according_o we_o find_v in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n and_o by_o all_o person_n profess_v any_o religion_n at_o all_o some_o particular_a and_o set_v place_n appoint_v to_o invocate_v and_o worship_v the_o supreme_a deity_n among_o the_o jew_n god_n have_v his_o temple_n whither_o all_o the_o tribe_n go_v up_o to_o worship_n and_o in_o profane_a history_n we_o read_v of_o temple_n dedicate_v to_o the_o use_n and_o service_n of_o some_o supreme_a deity_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n command_v to_o fix_v and_o set_v apart_o a_o place_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o god_n will_v have_v this_o of_o we_o too_o that_o as_o he_o have_v reserve_v a_o portion_n of_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o his_o honour_n so_o have_v he_o also_o reserve_v a_o portion_n out_o of_o the_o place_n of_o our_o residence_n therefore_o in_o ezek._n 45._o god_n command_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o they_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o inhabit_v the_o land_n he_o give_v they_o they_o must_v divide_v it_o into_o three_o part_n one_o for_o the_o people_n another_o for_o the_o king_n but_o the_o first_o for_o god_n himself_o but_o and_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o command_n under_o the_o levitical_a law_n and_o so_o not_o obligatory_a to_o we_o christian_n who_o live_v not_o under_o that_o law_n it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o though_o god_n command_v a_o house_n and_o place_n for_o his_o service_n to_o be_v build_v and_o set_v apart_o yet_o all_o mankind_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o same_o duty_n by_o a_o law_n more_o ancient_a than_o that_o of_o moses_n even_o by_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n which_o lay_v a_o perpetual_a and_o

the_o very_a secret_a instinct_n and_o work_n of_o nature_n lead_v man_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o hence_o likewise_o it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n though_o never_o command_v of_o
