this_o world_n end_n 4_o a_o 4_o &_o main_a reason_n of_o all_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n if_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o god_n creation_n then_o much_o more_o ought_v christian_n keep_v a_o other_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o christ_n redemption_n and_o the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n i_o answer_v 1._o the_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o for_o the_o jew_n they_o do_v not_o set_v up_o a_o sabbath_n on_o their_o own_o head_n with_o out_o a_o precept_n for_o their_o direction_n only_o to_o commemorate_v the_o creation_n if_o they_o have_v it_o have_v be_v no_o better_a than_o will_v worship_v but_o they_o stay_v for_o a_o commandment_n from_o the_o god_n of_o the_o creation_n to_o command_v they_o a_o sabbath_n by_o his_o 4_o comm_n and_o to_o tell_v they_o which_o day_n of_o the_o 7._o to_o keep_v &_o it_o be_v god_n commandment_n principal_o that_o set_v they_o one_o work_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n now_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a for_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n be_v leave_v on_o it_o in_o their_o argument_n as_o if_o god_n comm_n be_v but_o a_o by_o thing_n and_o not_o necessary_o presuppose_v in_o every_o sabbath_n wherefore_o let_v they_o put_v into_o their_o argument_n the_o main_a and_o principal_a thing_n move_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v god_n 4_o com_n and_o then_o i_o fault_n not_o their_o argument_n as_o now_o i_o do_v but_o i_o bide_v they_o prove_v likewise_o that_o we_o christian_n have_v such_o strong_a reason_n to_o keep_v our_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n as_o jew_n have_v for_o their_o day_n that_o be_v i_o require_v to_o show_v i_o where_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n leave_v we_o a_o express_a commandment_n to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o god_n do_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o sanctify_v the_o 7_o day_n and_o then_o i_o say_v indeed_o if_o the_o jew_n keep_v the_o 7_o day_n we_o christian_n ought_v keep_v the_o 8_o day_n or_o thus_o be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n if_o it_o be_v great_a the_o answer_n will_v be_v to_o the_o elect_a and_o to_o the_o redeem_v it_o be_v great_a well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o our_o question_n which_o be_v general_a of_o all_o christian_n that_o live_v with_o in_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n affirm_v that_o if_o jew_n that_o be_v all_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n for_o the_o creation_n then_o ought_v christian_n that_o be_v all_o man_n with_o in_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n for_o redemption_n so_o the_o question_n be_v general_a of_o all_o man_n with_o in_o the_o church_n you_o bring_v a_o reason_n to_o enforce_v all_o these_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o new_a sabbath_n which_o reason_n be_v proper_a to_o some_o of_o these_o man_n only_o as_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o argue_v all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n because_o the_o lord_n die_v for_o some_o of_o these_o man_n this_o argue_v be_v much_o like_a absurd_a to_o this_o if_o the_o jew_n under_o king_n ahashuerosh_n ester_n 9.17_o do_v solemnize_v a_o day_n every_o year_n with_o feast_v and_o joy_n in_o memory_n of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n then_o so_o ought_v christian_n both_o english_a french_a dutchman_n and_o spanyarde_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v all_o christian_n solemnize_v a_o day_n every_o year_n with_o like_a feast_n and_o joy_n in_o memory_n of_o our_o deliverance_n from_o spanyarde_n in_o the_o year_n 88_o or_o from_o papist_n powder_n treason_n on_o 5_o the_o november_n and_o here_o to_o may_v be_v add_v a_o like_a reason_n as_o that_o our_o deliverance_n in_o 88_o or_o on_o 5_o the_o of_o november_n be_v as_o great_a as_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n from_o haman_n now_o who_o do_v not_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o argue_v yet_o just_a thus_o do_v they_o argue_v to_o set_v up_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n as_o here_o it_o be_v argue_v from_o a_o particular_a deliverance_n of_o some_o christian_n as_o english_a man_n to_o all_o christian_n as_o french_a dutch_a and_o spaniard_n who_n have_v no_o share_n in_o that_o deliverance_n of_o 88_o and_o 5_o of_o november_n just_o so_o do_v they_o argue_v from_o a_o particular_a deliverance_n of_o some_o christian_n as_o god_n elect_v unto_o all_o christian_n both_o elect_v and_o reprobate_a believer_n and_o unbeliever_n what_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o such_o as_o have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n as_o a_o redeemer_n shall_v weekly_o celebrate_v on_o whole_a day_n neglect_v their_o profit_n and_o calling_n in_o memory_n of_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n of_o right_n therefore_o only_o such_o a_o day_n shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n as_o bind_v all_o and_o every_o man_n one_o as_o well_o as_o a_o other_o and_o such_o be_v the_o 7_o day_n sabhath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n for_o in_o the_o creation_n we_o all_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n have_v our_o share_n not_o so_o in_o the_o redemption_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o though_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o therefore_o do_v require_v a_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o creation_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o require_v so_o general_a &_o universal_a a_o sabbath_n as_o do_v the_o work_n of_o creation_n all_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o one_o as_o they_o be_v to_o the_o other_o nor_o can_v i_o conceive_v how_o any_o more_o man_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n by_o this_o reason_n then_o only_o a_o few_o which_o do_v actual_o believe_v in_o christ_n a_o handful_n of_o most_o free_a agentes_fw-la so_o as_o they_o eighther_n of_o they_o produce_v effect_n at_o their_o pleasure_n by_o counsel_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o tie_v ever_o to_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n the_o one_o as_o do_v the_o other_o that_o this_o be_v so_o will_v appear_v even_o in_o these_o point_n in_o question_n it_o please_v god_n to_o create_v the_o world_n by_o action_n but_o it_o please_v christ_n to_o redeem_v the_o world_n by_o passion_n 2._o it_o please_v the_o father_n to_o be_v 6._o day_n in_o creation_n but_o it_o please_v the_o son_n to_o be_v but_o 3._o day_n in_o

answer_n usual_o bring_v against_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o paul_n do_v keep_v sabbath_n here_o with_o the_o jew_n to_o bear_v with_o their_o weakness_n for_o a_o time_n and_o as_o he_o do_v judaize_v it_o by_o circumcision_n of_o timothy_n here_o unto_o i_o say_v 1._o it_o appear_v he_o do_v not_o keep_v sabbath_n only_o for_o the_o jew_n sake_n for_o than_o will_v he_o not_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n with_o the_o gentile_n as_o he_o do_v 2._o be_v it_o a_o weakness_n in_o the_o jew_n to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o a_o moral_a precept_n to_o the_o 4_o com_n 3._o the_o thing_n wherein_o proper_o paul_n be_v say_v to_o judaize_v be_v ceremonial_a thing_n stand_v in_o force_n by_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o circumcision_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o thing_n stand_v in_o force_n by_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o do_v the_o sabbath_n day_n performance_n of_o these_o be_v no_o judaize_v but_o moralize_v if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v a_o 3_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n must_v take_v such_o day_n as_o they_o find_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n then_o or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o preach_v and_o divulge_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o jew_n than_o will_v assemble_v on_o no_o day_n but_o the_o sabbath_n here_o unto_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n can_v make_v know_v the_o gospel_n though_o they_o have_v never_o frequent_v the_o jew_n usual_a assembly_n for_o the_o apostle_n teach_v and_o preach_v christ_n in_o private_a house_n from_o house_n to_o house_n act._n 5.42_o and_o when_o paul_n forsake_v preach_v in_o the_o synagogue_n he_o teach_v else_o where_o as_o in_o the_o school_n of_o one_o tyrannus_n and_o there_o frequent_v he_o both_o jew_n and_o grecian_n act._n 19.9.10_o yea_o paul_n can_v assemble_v the_o jew_n themselves_o upon_o occasion_n &_o the_o very_a chief_a of_o they_o refuse_v not_o to_o assemble_v at_o his_o call_v act._n 28.17.20_o wherefore_o necessity_n compel_v he_o not_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n with_o they_o to_o make_v a_o more_o full_a answer_n to_o those_o common_a objection_n which_o they_o bring_v against_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n one_o of_o which_o main_a objection_n be_v that_o fore_o speak_v of_o to_o this_o effect_n true_a the_o apostle_n practise_v the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n but_o it_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n not_o among_o the_o gentile_n where_o unto_o i_o say_v what_o and_o if_o it_o be_v only_o among_o the_o jews_n be_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n practice_n and_o action_n unwareantable_a and_o unimitable_a because_o they_o be_v do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v all_o their_o action_n among_o jew_n but_o of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n if_o such_o objection_n be_v lawful_a if_o a_o preacher_n confirm_v his_o doctrine_n in_o the_o pulp_n it_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n then_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o any_o thus_o to_o cavil_n against_o it_o oh_o but_o that_o it_o be_v do_v among_o jew_n for_o instance_n suppose_v this_o the_o doctrine_n minister_n must_v preach_v constant_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o after_o it_o be_v prove_v etc._n etc._n then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n act._n 13.14.44_o act._n 17.2_o act._n 18.4_o be_v it_o tolerable_a for_o a_o auditor_n to_o cavil_n thus_o oh_o this_o it_o dience_n and_o reference_n unto_o some_o of_o those_o commandment_n the_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n but_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n till_o the_o jew_n be_v better_o instruct_v the_o which_o if_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o keep_v the_o jew_n will_v never_o have_v hear_v they_o preach_v of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n here_o unto_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n presuppose_v now_o as_o grant_v two_o false_a supposition_n the_o one_o that_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o if_o they_o can_v have_v avoid_v it_o have_v keep_v this_o sabbath_n the_o other_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v needless_o religiouse_a make_v conscience_n of_o this_o sabbath_n now_o when_o they_o need_v not_o for_o the_o former_a for_o any_o thus_o to_o imagine_v or_o say_v be_v growndlesse_a for_o where_o have_v any_o of_o the_o apostle_n declare_v themselves_o any_o enemy_n to_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v they_o have_v rather_o not_o to_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n then_o to_o have_v keep_v it_o for_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v true_a of_o circumcision_n it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o jew_n be_v needlesse_o religious_a and_o careful_a of_o it_o because_o we_o find_v the_o apostle_n inveigh_v against_o it_o galat._n 5.2_o but_o how_o can_v we_o say_v so_o of_o the_o jew_n as_o touch_v the_o sabbath_n day_n since_o we_o no_o where_n find_v the_o apostle_n inveigh_v against_o it_o or_o reprehend_v the_o jew_n for_o keep_v it_o as_o they_o do_v for_o circumcision_n the_o main_a error_n in_o these_o objection_n be_v that_o they_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v not_o grant_v that_o be_v suppose_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o 10._o commandment_n to_o be_v a_o ceremony_n as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n and_o that_o so_o it_o be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n as_o else_o where_o i_o have_v large_o show_v nay_o far_o for_o any_o to_o say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o ceremony_n or_o that_o any_o word_n or_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n or_o 10._o commandment_n be_v ceremonial_a be_v no_o better_a than_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n law_n and_o truth_n &_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v constant_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o apostolical_a practice_n the_o which_o proof_n i_o have_v make_v to_o this_o end_n that_o you_o may_v see_v we_o have_v better_a ground_n for_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o for_o their_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n nay_o there_o be_v good_a ground_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n further_n more_o as_o by_o the_o way_n you_o may_v see_v it_o have_v be_v show_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n 1._o constant_o not_o once_o or_o twice_o or_o thrice_o and_o no_o no_o more_o 2._o
yea_o remove_v the_o building_n must_v fale_v if_o apostle_n neighther_o leave_v precept_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n no_o nor_o their_o own_o practice_n who_n can_v imagine_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n by_o god_n appointment_n i_o answer_v last_o whereas_o they_o build_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n preach_v so_o as_o on_o all_o be_v because_o there_o be_v not_o in_o all_o the_o new_a nor_o old_a testament_n any_o commandment_n to_o set_v up_o any_o other_o sabbath_n than_o that_o 7_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n no_o nor_o ought_v else_o that_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o commandment_n as_o no_o practice_n of_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n as_o have_v be_v show_v afore_o nay_o we_o have_v god_n apointement_n to_o the_o contrary_a that_o no_o day_n of_o the_o

the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n before_o all_o other_o because_o on_o it_o we_o receive_v a_o great_a a_o great_a blessing_n than_o one_o any_o other_o of_o the_o 6._o day_n since_o on_o that_o day_n our_o lord_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n i_o answer_v 1._o be_v it_o so_o that_o in_o choosinge_v a_o day_n we_o ought_v to_o take_v that_o day_n which_o have_v near_o relation_n to_o the_o great_a blessing_n yet_o will_v we_o imitate_v god_n in_o institute_v a_o sabbath_n at_o creation_n we_o shall_v not_o set_v a_o part_n for_o a_o sabbath_n that_o very_a day_n whereon_o we_o receive_v that_o blessing_n or_o whereon_o christ_n perform_v it_o but_o the_o day_n after_o it_o so_o god_n have_v finish_v his_o work_n of_o

neither_o god_n nor_o those_o godly_a jew_n for_o we_o rest_v upon_o the_o very_a day_n where_o on_o we_o receive_v that_o great_a blessing_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n wherein_o the_o lord_n rise_v and_o we_o shall_v rest_v rather_o on_o the_o second_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v moneday_n i_o answer_v 2._o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v to_o

of_o the_o week_n and_o one_o day_n in_o 7._o for_o a_o sabbath_n for_o this_o be_v jewish_a as_o it_o be_v call_v and_o to_o imitate_v god_n in_o the_o creation_n but_o we_o christian_n have_v a_o other_o pattern_n that_o be_v christ_n the_o lord_n and_o redeemer_n to_o imitate_v and_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n so_o as_o if_o we_o hold_v it_o best_a to_o

since_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n whereon_o christ_n rise_v the_o lord_n day_n let_v it_o fale_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o on_o the_o 2_o or_o 3_o or_o 4_o etc._n etc._n one_o any_o day_n of_o the_o week_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o 3_o day_n as_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o 7_o day_n so_o then_o

must_v imitate_v christ_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o do_v the_o jew_n god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o look_v as_o god_n work_v 6._o day_n and_o rest_v the_o 7_o the_o

keep_v it_o for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o we_o shall_v not_o then_o keep_v these_o we_o now_o call_v lord_n day_n for_o our_o sabbath_n but_o other_o nor_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n once_o in_o 7._o day_n but_o on_o it_o once_o every_o 3._o day_n i_o answer_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n whereby_o they_o will_v choose_v out_o the_o lord_n day_n afore_o any_o other_o of_o the_o 6._o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n because_o on_o that_o day_n we_o receive_v the_o lord_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o great_a work_n and_o mercy_n that_o ever_o we_o receive_v &c._n &c._n here_o unto_o i_o answer_v if_o the_o great_a

more_o excellent_a &_o that_o which_o god_n do_v first_o and_o principal_o aim_v at_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n or_o the_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n a_o question_n at_o first_o sight_n i_o confess_v it_o seem_v frivolouse_a the_o rather_o i_o move_v it_o
be_v this_o that_o since_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n whilst_o in_o force_n do_v bind_v as_o strict_o as_o do_v the_o moral_a sabbath_n therefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n and_o the_o regard_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o of_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n for_o strictness_n of_o observation_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v by_o like_a reason_n as_o far_o as_o man_n may_v judge_v that_o if_o a_o dispensation_n be_v grant_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o a_o change_n of_o that_o day_n so_o a_o dispensation_n likewise_o in_o like_a case_n be_v grant_v for_o a_o change_n of_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o that_o necessity_n avoidable_o last_v unless_o groundless_o we_o shall_v think_v god_n be_v more_o strict_a towards_o christian_n about_o the_o sabbath_n than_o he_o be_v towards_o jew_n about_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o passeover_n one_o objection_n more_o what_o and_o if_o we_o can_v have_v public_a assembly_n in_o the_o congregation_n may_v be_v we_o not_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n as_o we_o can_v private_o every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o family_n i_o answer_v since_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o public_a assembly_n and_o with_o the_o help_n of_o priest_n or_o minister_n as_o have_v be_v show_v therefore_o i_o judge_v it_o better_a to_o alter_v the_o day_n until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n that_o so_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o public_a assembly_n and_o benefit_n of_o a_o able_a minister_n on_o a_o other_o day_n then_o without_o these_o to_o keep_v the_o very_a self_n same_o day_n that_o this_o opinion_n be_v justifiable_a see_v the_o like_a practice_n of_o the_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n fore_o mention_v 2._o chron._n 30.1.2.3_o who_o because_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o prepare_v to_o keep_v the_o passeover_n in_o the_o first_o month_n nor_o be_v the_o people_n public_o assemble_v together_o in_o the_o same_o month_n for_o these_o two_o cause_n the_o king_n with_o his_o prince_n alter_v the_o day_n of_o the_o passeover_n to_o the_o second_o month_n if_o any_o shall_v object_v or_o doubt_n that_o i_o strain_v thing_n to_o far_o when_o i_o will_v justify_v the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o the_o change_n of_o the_o passeover_n because_o these_o two_o be_v thing_n of_o a_o different_a kind_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o the_o reason_n move_v we_o to_o change_v the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o god_n mention_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o passover_n change_v numb_a 9.10_o for_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o weak_a in_o this_o point_n i_o thus_o answer_v 1._o to_o the_o latter_a touch_v the_o reason_n of_o our_o change_n they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o indeed_o every_o way_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v as_o they_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o enforce_v a_o change_n as_o thes_n numb_a 9.10_o it_o be_v sufficient_a and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o see_v it_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o king_n hezekiah_n who_o change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o passeover_n 2._o chron._n 30.3_o not_o upon_o these_o very_a particular_a ground_n which_o god_n specify_v in_o numb_a 9.10_o for_o god_n specify_v only_o these_o two_o defilment_n by_o a_o dead_a corpse_n and_o be_v in_o a_o far_a journey_n but_o hezekiah_n by_o like_a reason_n gathete_v that_o they_o may_v alter_v the_o day_n upon_o other_o ground_n also_o if_o as_o weighty_a as_o those_o first_o and_o namely_o upon_o these_o 1._o because_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o sanctify_v 2._o because_o the_o people_n be_v not_o assemble_v so_o thes_n two_o differ_v both_o in_o the_o person_n and_o also_o in_o the_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v see_v by_o compare_v those_o two_o text_n together_o second_o i_o answer_v to_o the_o former_a and_o i_o justify_v my_o argue_v from_o the_o passeover_n to_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o argue_v from_o david_n eat_v the_o shewbread_n to_o the_o sabbath_n math._n 1.12.2.3_o which_o be_v thing_n far_o more_o different_a than_o the_o passeover_n day_n &_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o both_o these_o be_v of_o day_n and_o time_n but_o those_o be_v of_o bread_n and_o time_n further_n by_o this_o practice_n of_o christ_n i_o find_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o reason_n from_o a_o ceremonial_a as_o the_o show_n bread_n be_v or_o by_o like_a reason_n from_o a_o ceremonial_a as_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o a_o moral_a as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v conclude_v that_o the_o same_o exception_n and_o dispensation_n belong_v to_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n which_o god_n grant_v to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o shewbread_n or_o to_o the_o law_n of_o passeover_n if_o there_o be_v necessity_n in_o the_o one_o as_o be_v in_o the_o other_o for_o a_o conclusion_n let_v i_o stop_n up_o one_o gap_n where_o at_o i_o perceive_v some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o breek_v out_o say_v since_o that_o we_o have_v not_o now_o the_o very_a day_n which_o god_n sanctify_v but_o a_o other_o day_n in_o its_o room_n we_o be_v not_o tie_v so_o strict_o to_o keep_v this_o day_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holiness_n as_o we_o shall_v be_v if_o we_o have_v the_o right_a day_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v

for_o obtain_v it_o yet_o until_o a_o time_n of_o reformation_n i_o hold_v this_o day_n ought_v as_o strict_o to_o be_v sanctify_v as_o that_o other_o suppose_v a_o debtor_n bind_v in_o a_o bond_n to_o pay_v 10li._o on_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o march_n and_o his_o creditor_n see_v he_o in_o a_o straight_a and_o necessity_n be_v upon_o he_o so_o as_o he_o he_o can_v bring_v the_o money_n just_a
