long_o than_o ordinary_a 3_o sleep_n refresh_v the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n so_o do_v death_n the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o body_n lie_v down_o a_o weak_a frail_a mortal_a corruptible_a

because_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o so_o not_o of_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o

themselves_o to_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n then_o what_o need_n have_v we_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n now_o in_o our_o corrupt_a estate_n to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n to_o take_v our_o

be_v place_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o moral_a commandment_n for_o when_o god_n renew_v the_o whole_a moral_a law_n deliver_v it_o most_o solemn_o on_o mount_n sinai_n and_o ingrave_v it_o in_o

this_o commandment_n make_v no_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n than_o the_o moral_a law_n will_v consist_v but_o of_o nine_o commandment_n 4_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o often_o make_v express_v mention_n of_o ten._n 3_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o delivery_n of_o this_o commandment_n confirm_v the_o morality_n and_o perpetuity_n of_o it_o and_o show_v that_o

the_o continuance_n and_o perpetuity_n of_o this_o commandment_n 3_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o that_o which_o by_o a_o careful_a and_o

that_o of_o the_o apostle_n you_o observe_v day_n month_n and_o time_n and_o year_n 16_o as_o also_o that_o to_o the_o colossian_n let_v no_o man_n judge_v you_o in_o meat_n or_o in_o drink_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o holy_a day_n or_o of_o the_o new_a moon_n or_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n ans._n the_o apostle_n here_o condemn_v not_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o call_v the_o

disposition_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o bind_v to_o spend_v every_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n by_o lay_v aside_o the_o lawful_a work_n of_o our_o calling_n and_o give_v up_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o the_o solemn_a duty_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n who_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v 10._o and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n where_o the_o lord_n do_v require_v of_o we_o as_o well_o to_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o our_o call_v on_o the_o six_o day_n as_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o a_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o divine_a worship_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v unto_o god_n every_o day_n as_o under_o the_o law_n we_o read_v they_o have_v their_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_v
every_o day_n so_o we_o shall_v every_o day_n offer_v up_o our_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_v of_o prayer_n and_o true_o by_o duty_n of_o piety_n to_o god_n be_v our_o worldly_a business_n

by_o we_o 2_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n neither_o adam_n nor_o the_o jew_n before_o christ_n shall_v have_v observe_v any_o sabbath_n because_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o rest_v from_o sin_n as_o

and_o answer_v some_o objection_n against_o it_o ii_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n give_v you_o the_o ground_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o

instance_n the_o lord_n supper_n because_o he_o institute_v it_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o he_o choose_v they_o the_o lord_n messenger_n because_o he_o send_v they_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v denominative_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o not_o by_o creation_n for_o so_o every_o day_n be_v he_o from_o the_o beginning_n but_o by_o divine_a institution_n because_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n the_o lord_n for_o divine_a worship_n and_o service_n tempore_fw-la 3_o and_o for_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o he_o agreeable_a hereunto_o be_v that_o of_o augustine_n who_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n appoint_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o all_o religious_a solemnity_n because_o in_o that_o day_n our_o redeemer_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n 2_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o constant_o assemble_v together_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v our_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o without_o doubt_n upon_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n himself_o for_o whereas_o he_o continue_v forty_o day_n on_o earth_n after_o his_o resurrection_n before_o he_o ascend_v into_o hea●en_n it_o be_v say_v in_o that_o time_o he_o give_v commandment_n unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o speak_v unto_o they_o of_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o instruct_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o bodily_a sacrifice_n of_o beast_n into_o the_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n into_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o passeover_n into_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o then_o likewise_o he_o instruct_v his_o apostle_n touch_v the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n into_o the_o lord_n day_n 3_o to_o which_o agree_v that_o of_o learned_a junius_n who_o say_v positive_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o observation_n and_o appointment_n of_o christ_n who_o both_o on_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o on_o every_o seven_o day_n after_o unto_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o come_v into_o their_o assembly_n hereupon_o we_o read_v the_o apostle_n meet_v together_o on_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o to_o communicate_v the_o lord_n supper_n as_o joh._n 20._o 19_o 26._o act_n 2._o 1._o act_n 20._o 7_o and_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n and_o we_o find_v it_o express_o ordain_v by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n that_o the_o weekly_a collection_n for_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v on_o that_o day_n 2_o now_o concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o upon_o the_o first_o

well_o be_v imagine_v but_o that_o their_o assemble_v together_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v on_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o because_o work_n of_o charity_n suit_n well_o with_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o that_o by_o the_o ordinance_n then_o dispense_v they_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o a_o more_o free_a and_o cheerful_a contribution_n the_o apostle_n ordain_v also_o that_o the_o collection_n for_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v on_o the_o same_o day_n viz._n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n 2_o another_o argument_n prove_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n common_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a sabbath_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n since_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v argument_n enough_o to_o warrant_v the_o day_n they_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o especial_a manner_n so_o it_o do_v clear_o appear_v that_o it_o have_v
