you_o say_v you_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o place_n or_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n well_o and_o so_o do_v we_o too_o like_a as_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o

this_o we_o add_v that_o we_o keep_v it_o in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o the_o sabbath_n now_o here_o they_o leave_v we_o they_o will_v not_o say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n sake_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v renounce_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o not_o keep_v it_o for_o itself_o sake_n albeit_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passeover_n yet_o we_o keep_v it_o not_o for_o the_o passeover_n sake_n but_o for_o its_o on_o own_o sake_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v advance_v the_o passeover_n above_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v regard_v for_o itself_o sake_n for_o example_n when_o the_o old_a king_n be_v dead_a than_o the_o new_a king_n his_o heier_n rule_n in_o his_o room_n and_o place_n and_o we_o obey_v the_o new_a king_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o old_a but_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n not_o for_o the_o old_a king_n sake_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o keep_v the_o new_a sabbath_n in_o room_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n suppose_v the_o old_a sabbath_n to_o be_v dead_a &_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o sake_n not_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o we_o for_o when_o the_o king_n go_v to_o the_o war_n into_o some_o foreign_a land_n and_o leave_v a_o deputy_n or_o viceroy_n to_o govern_v in_o his_o room_n we_o obey_v this_o deputy_n in_o the_o room_n indeed_o of_o the_o king_n but_o not_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o king_n sake_n and_o so_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o time_n in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n not_o for_o its_o own_o sake_n object_n four_o some_o argue_v thus_o forasmuch_o as_o those_o which_o stand_v so_o strong_o for_o the_o old_a sabbath_n do_v profane_a and_o neglect_v it_o themselves_o and_o do_v by_o this_o dispensation_n justify_v it_o as_o warrantable_a therefore_o what_o need_v we_o to_o take_v any_o care_n at_o all_o of_o it_o why_o shall_v we_o make_v any_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n about_o it_o why_o shall_v we_o fear_v to_o profane_v it_o and_o to_o work_v on_o it_o and_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n by_o neglect_v it_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v great_a be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o it_o by_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o may_v profane_v it_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o as_o safe_o for_o we_o do_v profane_v it_o in_o grief_n of_o heart_n like_v as_o david_n do_v break_v the_o law_n of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o do_v suffer_v joab_n to_o live_v and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v and_o retain_v ceremony_n among_o believer_n after_o they_o be_v abolish_v and_o as_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n so_o as_o we_o hearty_o and_o uâ—fâ—iâ—edly_o wish_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o 2._o whilst_o we_o profane_v this_o day_n we_o free_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o by_o way_n of_o exchange_n as_o hezekiah_n do_v &_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o whilst_o we_o profane_v it_o by_o bodily_a labour_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n we_o do_v reverence_v it_o &_o honour_v it_o high_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a these_o new_a sabbatharian_o they_o do_v profane_v the_o sabbath_n without_o any_o respect_n have_v unto_o necessity_n they_o profane_v it_o voluntary_o for_o they_o take_v no_o grief_n of_o heart_n at_o their_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n neither_o do_v they_o wish_v it_o be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o reformation_n neither_o do_v they_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o only_o hate_v god_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o vain_a be_v their_o argue_v to_o say_v they_o may_v as_o well_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o do_v let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o our_o neglect_n be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n of_o frailty_n but_o their_o neglect_n of_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n with_o a_o high_a hand_n our_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n against_o our_o wile_n but_o they_o be_v a_o sin_n with_o full_a consent_n of_o will_n nay_o we_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o 1._o we_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o 2._o we_o profane_v it_o but_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n only_o as_o david_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n and_o as_o man_n quench_v a_o house_n on_o sire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o they_o profane_a god_n sabbath_n willing_o never_o respect_v any_o necessity_n at_o all_o wherefore_o let_v not_o they_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o we_o nor_o think_v to_o work_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o well_o as_o we_o do_v unless_o they_o do_v it_o with_o

that_o many_o a_o man_n cozen_v himself_o take_v heart_n &_o courage_n to_o live_v still_o in_o the_o want_n of_o reformation_n either_o of_o his_o judgement_n or_o practice_n in_o this_o point_n because_o he_o see_v we_o to_o neglect_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o let_v he_o be_v admonish_v in_o time_n i_o dare_v assure_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v account_v of_o god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n breaker_n when_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o he_o shall_v be_v arraign_v before_o god_n tribunal_n for_o a_o weekly_a transgressor_n of_o his_o four_o commandment_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v unto_o we_o well_o do_v thou_o good_a and_o faithful_a servant_n object_n v._o some_o happy_o may_v object_v thus_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o sabbath_n break_v be_v a_o fearful_a sin_n whilst_o we_o read_v your_o exposition_n upon_o the_o four_o commandment_n but_o now_o since_o we_o have_v read_v your_o dispensation_n it_o seem_v but_o a_o light_a matter_n because_o a_o man_n may_v live_v in_o the_o weekly_a breach_n thereof_o and_o yet_o justify_v it_o too_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v i_o
account_v the_o sin_n of_o sabbath_n break_v here_o no_o less_o heinouse_a &_o fearful_a than_o i_o account_v it_o there_o for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o there_o be_v a_o

as_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o sewbread_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n it_o be_v for_o that_o time_n light_n and_o unto_o david_n in_o hunger_n it_o be_v light_a but_o yet_o at_o other_o time_n and_o to_o such_o person_n as_o be_v not_o in_o david_n case_n at_o that_o time_n it_o have_v be_v a_o heinouse_a and_o a_o fearful_a sin_n to_o have_v eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o sabbath_n whilst_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o to_o those_o person_n unto_o who_o it_o do_v belong_v it_o be_v light_a nevertheless_o out_o of_o this_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o dispensation_n to_o break_v the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v a_o heinouse_a and_o a_o fearful_a sin_n now_o in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n there_o we_o consider_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n out_o of_o the_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v unto_o all_o such_o as_o be_v enemy_n unto_o it_o and_o to_o they_o it_o be_v a_o heinouse_a and_o fearful_a sin_n to_o profane_v it_o by_o work_v on_o it_o like_a as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sin_n for_o david_n himself_o to_o have_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n out_o of_o the_o case_n of_o hunger_n but_o in_o the_o dispensation_n there_o we_o consider_v of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v

since_o we_o see_v they_o and_o say_v they_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o prove_v the_o point_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v this_o i_o suppose_v they_o that_o first_o set_v their_o

but_o miselike_v this_o they_o judge_v it_o better_o to_o have_v it_o stand_v by_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o have_v use_v their_o wit_n to_o wrest_v these_o scripture_n thitherwards_o so_o now_o they_o have_v father_v the_o matter_n all_o upon_o god_n and_o make_v this_o lord_n day_n a_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o get_v the_o more_o honour_n unto_o it_o this_o dare_v not_o s._n

now_o if_o it_o prove_v but_o a_o tradition_n they_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o romish_a rubbish_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o clean_o sweep_v out_o of_o the_o reform_a church_n an_o other_o

of_o the_o four_o com._n then_o s._n augustine_n must_v have_v observe_v the_o time_n for_o the_o day_n &_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v no_o less_o enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o com._n

and_o that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o disswad_v his_o adversary_n from_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n and_o so_o from_o be_v under_o the_o la_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o show_v the_o

curse_n and_o condemnation_n on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o faithful_a who_o seek_v justification_n by_o grace_n and_o by_o christ_n and_o renounce_v the_o law_n he_o speak_v unto_o they_o as_o unto_o man_n set_v at_o liberty_n say_v you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n that_o be_v you_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n now_o as_o once_o you_o be_v before_o you_o believe_v and_o as_o those_o unbelieve_a jew_n be_v that_o be_v you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n and_o consequent_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n as_o cause_v wrath_n and_o as_o be_v under_o the_o carse_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n free_v the_o faithful_a from_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o those_o unbelieve_a jew_n be_v that_o be_v as_o touch_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n but_o she_o not_o a_o word_n of_o free_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o from_o be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o this_o respect_n 2._o this_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o that_o other_o phrase_n join_v with_o it_o and_o oppose_v to_o it_o under_o grace_n whereby_o be_v no_o thing_n else_o signify_v but_o the_o free_a

wherefore_o as_o this_o phrase_n to_o be_v under_o grace_n have_v respect_n only_o unto_o justification_n so_o its_o opposite_a not_o to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n have_v only_o respect_n unto_o justification_n the_o one_o phrase_n express_v how_o believer_n be_v justify_v the_o other_o how_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v believer_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n by_o be_v under_o grace_n not_o by_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v you_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n but_o be_v under_o grace_n for_o justification_n so_o still_o the_o apostle_n free_v not_o the_o faithful_a from_o be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o observation_n but_o only_o for_o justification_n 3._o that_o by_o this_o phrase_n under_o the_o law_n s._n paul_n mean_v a_o be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n i_o prove_v it_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n for_o in_o gal._n 4.21_o he_o use_v this_o phrase_n say_v tell_v i_o you_o that_o will_v be_v under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n the_o which_o phrase_n himself_o by_o and_o by_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n expound_v by_o exprese_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o other_o and_o more_o perspicuouse_a word_n say_v you_o be_v abolish_v from_o christ_n whosoever_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n gal._n 5.4_o so_o then_o to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v nothing_o else_o then_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v against_o the_o law_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o the_o four_o and_o five_o chapter_n his_o discourse_n be_v continue_v as_o about_o one_o and_o the_o same_o matter_n so_o then_o this_o phrase_n be_v right_o understand_v it_o make_v against_o the_o use_n of_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n but_o not_o at_o all_o for_o observation_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o they_o reply_n against_o this_o distinction_n and_o say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o

for_o condemnation_n see_v luk._n 10.28.27_o gal._n 3.12_o rom._n 10.5_o but_o admit_v that_o god_n never_o intend_v to_o justify_v any_o man_n by_o the_o law_n yet_o many_o man_n there_o be_v that_o

find_v a_o commandment_n for_o it_o allege_v by_o they_o out_o of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a thing_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o christ_n in_o the_o next_o place_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o where_o christ_n leave_v any_o commandment_n for_o it_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o his_o apostle_n here_o they_o be_v at_o a_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la they_o can_v find_v no_o come_v for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n no_o nor_o any_o exhortation_n to_o keep_v it_o nor_o promise_v or_o threaten_v to_o those_o who_o keep_v or_o profane_v it_o now_o this_o at_o the_o first_o entrance_n do_v breed_v a_o shrewd_a suspicion_n that_o this_o new_a

for_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n if_o ever_o he_o have_v mean_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o for_o the_o apostle_n some_o fancy_n that_o christ_n leave_v a_o commandment_n with_o they_o act._n 1.2_o but_o let_v it_o then_o be_v show_v where_o be_v it_o write_v i_o marvel_v nay_o can_v we_o think_v that_o if_o curist_n have_v give_v the_o apostle_n a_o commandment_n to_o

choose_v the_o sunday_n sabbath_n hence_o this_o one_o note_n will_v be_v observe_v that_o since_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o patroness_n thereof_o must_v fetch_v all_o their_o ground_n for_o it_o by_o reason_n collection_n &_o consequence_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o how_o feeble_a a_o thing_n man_n blind_a reason_n be_v who_o know_v not_o that_o know_v himself_o how_o liable_a be_v we_o to_o mistake_v yea_o how_o subject_a to_o fallacy_n &_o to_o be_v deceive_v thereby_o be_v the_o best_a logiceans_n especial_o in_o

the_o foundation_n of_o our_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n have_v but_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o man_n blind_a &_o shallow_a reason_n but_o here_o unto_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o reply_v that_o

difficulty_n be_v to_o know_v when_o a_o consequence_n be_v necessary_o true_a and_o when_o not_o for_o many_o man_n take_v their_o consequence_n to_o be_v necessary_o true_a which_o be_v but_o

much_o for_o consequence_n and_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n there_o be_v no_o man_n use_v necessary_a consequence_n less_o than_o they_o do_v in_o somuch_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o question_v it_o that_o they_o talk_v beyond_o their_o skill_n when_o they_o talk_v so_o before_o the_o people_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n for_o if_o they_o know_v what_o they_o say_v when_o they_o so_o speak_v we_o shall_v sinde_v they_o use_v this_o necessary_a consequence_n in_o their_o disputation_n and_o argument_n frame_v by_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o they_o talk_v so_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n thereby_o insinuate_v unto_o common_a people_n that_o they_o have_v never_o err_v necessary_a consequence_n for_o their_o lord_n day_n sahbath_n but_o here_o i_o challenge_v they_o any_o of_o they_o all_o to_o show_v i_o but_o one_o argument_n out_o of_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n which_o stand_v by_o force_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n which_o if_o they_o can_v not_o do_v as_o i_o know_v well_o they_o can_v do_v it_o then_o be_v they_o but_o ungodly_a bragadocean_n &_o proud_a boaster_n to_o prattle_v of_o necessary_a consequence_n as_o if_o forsooth_o they_o mean_v it_o to_o prove_v all_o they_o say_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n but_o

v._n 13.14.15.16.17_o there_o be_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n to_o those_o that_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n two_o several_a time_n &_o in_o two_o several_a verse_n as_o in_o v._o 14._o whosoever_o work_v therein_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o people_n and_o in_o v._o 15._o whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o it_o be_v not_o lik_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n shall_v be_v repeat_v and_o twice_o together_o threaten_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n it_o be_v most_o likly_a that_o here_o moses_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o they_o in_o v._o 14._o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 15._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n also_o to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o remember_v that_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v beaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o v._o 17._o now_o these_o diverse_a sign_n do_v intimate_v that_o here_o may_v be_v diverse_a sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n for_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o one_o kind_n and_o creation_n to_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o probable_a that_o redemption_n and_o creation_n shall_v be_v both_o apply_v unto_o one_o kind_n only_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o liklihod_n there_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o about_o which_o we_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v take_v away_o these_o answer_n and_o prove_v unto_o v._o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a 7._o day_n sabbath_n they_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n all_o their_o labour_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o all_o be_v grant_v they_o which_o this_o text_n can_v afford_v they_o it_o will_v make_v only_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n but_o nothing_o for_o the_o

therefore_o abolish_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n

that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n or_o sabbath_n day_n in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v mean_v all_o sabbath_n day_n universal_o &_o general_o &_o so_o if_o all_o sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v than_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n also_o be_v abolish_v hereunto_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o law_n moral_a &_o a_o law_n ceremonial_a now_o when_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o law_n of_o commandment_n ephe._n 2.15_o &_o again_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n heb._n 7.12_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v press_v these_o text_n to_o

but_o not_o the_o law_n moral_a so_o may_v i_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n &_o command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n wherefore_o i_o answer_v they_o by_o distinguish_v thus_o there_o be_v weekly_a sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n &_o there_o be_v yearly_a sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v never_o write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n levit._n 23.24.39_o now_o this_o their_o text_n may_v be_v understod_a only_o of_o these_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o not_o of_o the_o moral_a &_o weekly_a sabbath_n &_o thus_o be_v these_o two_o scripture_n exod._n 20.8_o &_o col._n 2.16_o reconcile_a and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o all_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v in_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o all_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n that_o all_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v for_o there_o be_v a_o all_o of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v many_o so_o then_o we_o may_v understand_v this_o text_n to_o abolish_v all_o sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v the_o generality_n of_o all_o yearly_a sabbath_n since_o there_o be_v a_o generality_n of_o they_o or_o by_o all_o we_o may_v understand_v all_o these_o sabbath_n exclude_v the_o morall-law_n or_o table_n of_o stone_n that_o be_v all_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o

seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n for_o a_o fit_a distinction_n may_v salve_v all_o wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v violent_o wring_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n it_o be_v wilful_o do_v of_o they_o to_o satisfy_v some_o corrupt_a humour_n or_o other_o you_o see_v this_o text_n may_v safe_o &_o sound_o be_v expound_v of_o the_o annual_a sabbath_n only_o without_o any_o the_o least_o violence_n offer_v unto_o this_o text_n furthermore_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o shadow_n he_o

weakness_n of_o which_o argument_n we_o may_v see_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o love_n to_o god_n &_o his_o ordinance_n &_o to_o his_o law_n for_o strong_a love_n will_v never_o permit_v they_o to_o

that_o by_o sabbath_n in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n understand_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o one_o because_o say_v they_o under_o the_o word_n holy_a day_n be_v mean_v all_o

my_o first_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n but_o no_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n therefore_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n here_o be_v as_o you_o see_v three_o propositiones_fw-la if_o the_o two_o foremost_a be_v prove_v the_o three_o &_o last_o must_v be_v grant_v as_o follow_v necessary_o i_o be_o therefore_o now_o to_o

for_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o 1._o because_o christ_n have_v leave_v no_o commandment_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o
the_o servant_n by_o right_a from_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_a that_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n unto_o man_n &_o beasâ—_n &_o a_o work_n great_o

tradition_n be_v honour_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n his_o holy_a sabbath_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o first_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o tradition_n and_o second_o that_o it_o be_v a_o popish_a tradition_n or_o worse_o 1._o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n you_o may_v remember_v i_o have_v former_o prove_v it_o and_o that_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o s._n augustine_n of_o melanchthon_n of_o hemingius_n and_o out_o of_o the_o harmony_n of_o confession_n 2._o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o tradition_n &_o no_o better_o for_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o be_v not_o where_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o father_n or_o to_o come_v unto_o we_o from_o the_o apostle_n by_o some_o unwritten_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n or_o else_o it_o must_v have_v a_o worse_a original_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o tradition_n or_o worse_o give_v it_o its_o due_a and_o it_o be_v a_o old_a tradition_n new_o furbush_v &_o trim_v up_o or_o a_o old_a tradition_n culler_v &_o paint_v over_o with_o scripture_n now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o popish_a tradition_n and_o romish_a relic_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o because_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o patroness_n of_o it_o do_v urge_v &_o press_v the_o observation_n of_o it_o as_o a_o necessary_a thing_n as_o tie_v man_n conscience_n &_o upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n now_o for_o any_o to_o urge_v indifferent_a thing_n not_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n be_v romish_n and_o popish_a neither_o let_v this_o seem_v strange_a unto_o any_o that_o i_o call_v it_o a_o romish_a and_o popish_a tradition_n for_o the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v willing_o own_v it_o and_o father_n it_o and_o stife_o defend_v it_o for_o one_o of_o their_o
