of_o that_o commandment_n to_o reach_v we_o that_o be_v christian_n we_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n in_o the_o delivery_n of_o his_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n look_v upon_o they_o in_o divers_a respect_n in_o some_o thing_n as_o the_o people_n of_o such_o a_o nation_n and_o of_o such_o a_o time_n which_o he_o manifest_v in_o give_v they_o the_o law_n judicial_a and_o

of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o the_o rule_n deliver_v from_o the_o design_v of_o the_o particular_a day_n be_v only_o this_o as_o we_o have_v show_v already_o in_o a_o treatise_n

of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o compile_v they_o into_o a_o volume_n a_o part_n by_o themselves_o distingush_v they_o from_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o so_o many_o considerable_a circumstance_n as_o we_o have_v show_v already_o we_o can_v in_o reason_n conceive_v that_o god_n will_v leave_v out_o only_o this_o one_o of_o those_o law_n to_o be_v mix_v with_o his_o moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o

because_o say_v they_o be_v in_o that_o condition_n he_o neither_o need_v any_o such_o law_n either_o for_o the_o refresh_n of_o his_o body_n or_o for_o the_o quicken_a of_o his_o spirit_n nor_o can_v possible_o observe_v it_o have_v no_o other_o company_n but_o his_o wife_n which_o can_v not_o make_v a_o public_a assembly_n which_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n require_v to_o who_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o supposition_n that_o adam_n be_v in_o paradise_n need_v no_o sabbath_n be_v ill_o ground_v
for_o first_o the_o refresh_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n though_o it_o be_v a_o consequent_a yet_o be_v never_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o moderation_n of_o our_o labour_n belong_v to_o the_o eight_o commandment_n that_o enjoin_v labour_n as_o for_o the_o quicken_a of_o adam_n spirit_n why_o may_v not_o he_o need_v a_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o a_o sacrament_n and_o although_o every_o day_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n to_o adam_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o easy_a labour_n and_o his_o holy_a converse_v with_o god_n even_o in_o his_o work_n about_o the_o creature_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o labour_v moderate_o and_o not_o at_o all_o and_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o order_v the_o creature_n according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o own_o immediate_a worship_n so_o every_o day_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v spend_v by_o adam_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n but_o not_o as_o a_o sabbath_n beside_o though_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o make_v for_o man_n alone_o but_o principal_o for_o god_n honour_n in_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o which_o respect_n adam_n as_o much_o need_v a_o sabbath_n as_o we_o do_v be_v create_v for_o god_n glory_n as_o well_o as_o we_o second_o as_o adam_n need_v a_o sabbath_n so_o he_o have_v mean_n to_o
