since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o can_v call_v to_o mind_n that_o ever_o the_o church_n of_o god_n make_v any_o reformation_n comparable_a to_o this_o of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n unless_o

inviouse_a man_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v so_o the_o greatness_n whereof_o may_v appear_v 1._o because_o it_o concern_v all_o man_n without_o exception_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n live_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n concern_v he_o and_o that_o in_o a_o special_a sort_n 2._o it_o will_v be_v the_o great_a because_o it_o have_v lie_v bury_v

one_o from_o a_o other_o the_o young_a from_o the_o more_o ancient_a and_o pure_a church_n as_o touch_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n now_o a_o old_a sore_n be_v not_o easy_o cure_v the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o great_a upon_o lazarus_n because_o he_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a when_o he_o have_v be_v so_o long_o bury_v that_o he_o stanke_z again_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n have_v be_v now_o so_o long_o dead_a and_o bury_v that_o they_o stink_n again_o in_o man_n nostril_n through_o their_o want_n of_o a_o true_a send_v the_o reviue_a and_o raise_v of_o they_o up_o again_o therefore_o will_v be_v a_o work_n of_o great_a difficulty_n 3._o it_o will_v be_v the_o great_a because_o it_o be_v like_a to_o meet_v with_o mighty_a and_o great_a oppositiones_fw-la for_o what_o great_a work_n be_v ever_o attempt_v that_o have_v not_o as_o great_a oppositiones_fw-la when_o the_o wales_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v build_v what_o oppositiones_fw-la and_o when_o the_o

now_o great_a work_n and_o difficult_a work_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o help_n of_o great_a man_n so_o they_o need_v the_o help_n of_o many_o man_n to_o one_o captain_n or_o general_n there_o be_v hundreth_n and_o thousand_o of_o common_a soldier_n it_o be_v needful_a therefore_o that_o every_o private_a man_n shall_v put_v to_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o voice_n for_o the_o

and_o honourable_a a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o be_v his_o sacred_a sabbath_n second_o we_o will_v consider_v of_o its_o constant_a observation_n a_o long_a all_o time_n and_o age_n from_o before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n until_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n ascension_n for_o as_o we_o have_v former_o prove_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o

beside_o we_o may_v call_v it_o sunday_n lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n do_v not_o mock_v god_n and_o deceive_v the_o world_n any_o long_o with_o use_n of_o the_o name_n sabbath_n

not_o only_o the_o least_o common_a but_o also_o the_o least_o branch_n of_o every_o commandment_n for_o he_o ratify_v not_o only_o the_o 6_o come_v touch_v murder_n but_o also_o the_o least_o thing_n

firm_o and_o secur_o 1._o one_o answer_n bring_v against_o this_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o word_n law_n may_v be_v understod_a both_o the_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o this_o be_v a_o unwarrantable_a enlargement_n of_o the_o word_n law_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o general_a word_n must_v be_v restrain_v unto_o the_o subject_a matter_n in_o hand_n as_o in_o heb._n 7.12_o if_o by_o the_o word_n law_n there_o we_o shall_v understand_v both_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n we_o shall_v make_v foul_a work_n wherefore_o as_o the_o word_n law_n in_o heb._n 7.12_o be_v to_o be_v rastain_v unto_o the_o leviticall_a ceremonial_a law_n according_a to_o the_o matter_n there_o speak_v of_o so_o must_v we_o by_o the_o word_n law_n in_o mat._n 5.18_o understand_v only_o the_o moral_a law_n according_a to_o the_o matter_n here_o speak_v of_o for_o as_o you_o may_v see_v plain_o by_o the_o context_n our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o our_o saviour_n have_v ratify_v the_o law_n in_o general_a in_o v._o 18.19_o than_o he_o descend_v unto_o particular_n givinge_v example_n in_o the_o 6_o come_v touch_v murder_n as_o in_o v._o 21._o &_o in_o the_o seven_o come_v touch_v adultery_n as_o in_o v._o 27._o &_o in_o the_o three_o come_v touch_v swear_n as_o in_o v._o 3._o &_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n be_v spend_v in_o duty_n of_o love_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n contain_v in_o the_o second_o table_n whereby_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n speak_v only_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n 2._o i_o prove_v that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n can_v be_v here_o mean_v for_o christ_n say_v but_o in_o the_o verse_n a_o forego_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n or_o the_o prophet_n which_o phrase_n our_o saniour_n use_v in_o this_o sermon_n for_o the_o moral_a law_n only_o mat._n 7.12_o and_o never_o otherwise_o mat._n 22.40_o second_o than_o shall_v christ_n have_v ratify_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n in_o mat._n 5.18_o which_o be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o christ_n speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o this_o place_n 3._o since_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o duration_n &_o continuance_n of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o in_o this_o case_n he_o will_v join_v the_o moral_a and_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n together_o as_o if_o they_o be_v both_o of_o a_o like_a perpetuity_n &_o last_a nature_n and_o therefore_o only_a the_o moral_a law_n be_v here_o mean_v 4._o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o christ_n shall_v make_v here_o in_o v._o 17._o a_o apology_n for_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n when_o elsewhere_o he_o preach_v against_o it_o joh._n 4.21_o beside_o since_o christ_n intend_v a_o little_a after_o to_o abolish_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n he_o will_v rather_o have_v be_v silent_a now_o then_o to_o say_v aught_o that_o may_v ratify_v it_o 2._o an_o other_o answer_n make_v against_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o duration_n of_o the_o law_n here_o speak_v of_o by_o christ_n be_v but_o until_o christ_n his_o passion_n note_v in_o those_o word_n until_o all_o thing_n be_v fulfil_v v._o 18._o for_o at_o christ_n his_o passion_n all_o thing_n be_v fulfil_v but_o this_o answer_n be_v very_o absurd_a for_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o law_n which_o prophecy_n be_v ratify_v by_o a_o great_a asseveration_n say_v very_o or_o true_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o etc._n etc._n now_o the_o time_n when_o christ_n make_v this_o prophecy_n it_o be_v not_o above_o a_o matter_n of_o two_o year_n before_o his_o passion_n or_o there_o about_o now_o who_o can_v think_v that_o christ_n shall_v make_v a_o prophecy_n &_o that_o in_o such_o solemn_a a_o manner_n with_o such_o a_o asseveration_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v last_v &_o continue_v yet_o two_o year_n long_o further_o if_o this_o answer_n &_o exposition_n be_v justifiable_a then_o by_o the_o same_o answer_n may_v we_o now_o reject_v a_o great_a part_n of_o christ_n sermon_n in_o the_o mount_n &_o especial_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the_o moral_a
because_o we_o may_v together_o with_o antinomians_n libertine_n &_o anabaptist_n as_o well_o abolish_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o with_o they_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o we_o may_v together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n then_o may_v we_o with_o they_o also_o abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n even_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o neither_o we_o may_v nor_o yet_o may_v those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n those_o lawless_a christian_n abolish_v by_o the_o scrïpture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptiste_n do_v reject_v the_o santification_n of_o all_o sabbath_n not_o but_o that_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n together_o with_o those_o protestant_a church_n among_o who_o they_o live_v but_o they_o keep_v it_o only_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o as_o in_o obedience_n to_o their_o governor_n yet_o so_o too_o as_o in_o case_n they_o can_v do_v any_o common_a servile_a work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n without_o offence_n to_o any_o they_o will_v and_o do_v profess_v it_o that_o they_o will_v but_o to_o keep_v any_o sabbath_n as_o a_o divine_a institution_n and_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n this_o they_o do_v reject_v as_o jewish_a and_o ceremonial_a and_o for_o their_o warrant_n among_o other_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o we_o do_v so_o do_v they_o allege_v exod._n 31.13_o &_o colos_n 2.16.17_o against_o the_o saturday_n sabbath_n show_v that_o it_o be_v abolish_v as_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n etc._n etc._n thus_o they_o bring_v scripture_n against_o the_o old_a sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o we_o &_o the_o same_o scripture_n that_o we_o bring_v so_o then_o we_o be_v just_o rank_v with_o libertine_n antinomian_o and_o anabaptist_n for_o abolish_n by_o the_o scripture_n the_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n now_o i_o proceed_v to_o prove_v the_o major_n for_o as_o for_o the_o minor_a it_o need_v no_o proof_n if_o we_o
