then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o

sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o

hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o

thus_o stand_v the_o reason_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o come_v as_o i_o conceive_v it_o as_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o four_o comm_n god_n press_v we_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o

will_v further_o appear_v if_o you_o do_v but_o take_v a_o suruâ—y_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o minister_n in_o the_o pulpit_n &_o of_o their_o writing_n in_o book_n for_o of_o all_o the_o argument_n

labour_v in_o this_o be_v false_a for_o god_n have_v plain_o discover_v it_o in_o his_o four_o come_v which_o be_v the_o 6_o day_n &_o that_o these_o way_n 1._o they_o be_v those_o 6_o day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o which_o god_n himself_o labour_v or_o wrought_v in_o to_o wit_n the_o first_o 6_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o the_o reason_n add_v to_o the_o come_v for_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n etc._n etc._n exod._n 20.11_o so_o god_n set_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n unto_o we_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v his_o

we_o shall_v labour_v in_o since_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n one_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v have_v not_o declare_v by_o the_o word_n day_n whither_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o natural_a day_n or_o a_o artificial_a day_n or_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o day_n conci_v of_o many_o year_n as_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o one_o so_o for_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o their_o first_o evasion_n an_o other_o evasion_n they_o have_v &_o it_o be_v this_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v they_o be_v not_o a_o commandment_n but_o a_o permission_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v six_o day_n may_v thou_o labour_v if_o thou_o will_v hereunto_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o these_o word_n be_v a_o express_a commandment_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o for_o they_o be_v deliver_v in_o command_a term_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o this_o point_n i_o have_v former_o prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v therefore_o here_o i_o omit_v to_o repeat_v it_o 2._o admit_v that_o these_o word_n be_v but_o a_o permission_n yet_o so_o they_o will_v make_v enough_o for_o my_o purpose_n &_o that_o thus_o for_o if_o god_n do_v in_o his_o four_o come_v permit_v we_o and_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v in_o those_o 6_o day_n wherein_o himself_o wrought_v at_o the_o creation_n then_o can_v any_o wise_a man_n think_v that_o god_n will_v in_o the_o very_a same_o commandment_n forbid_v we_o to_o labour_v in_o some_o one_o of_o those_o 6_o day_n unlese_v you_o will_v think_v that_o god_n permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o a_o day_n and_o revoke_v his_o permission_n again_o and_o all_o under_o one_o breath_n wherefore_o see_v that_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v by_o his_o four_o come_v upon_o all_o those_o 6_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o our_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o sabbath_n day_n from_o the_o four_o come_v we_o must_v betake_v we_o to_o the_o seven_o day_n our_o saturday_n the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o that_o because_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o any_o day_n save_o the_o saturday_n thus_o much_o for_o my_o four_o argument_n argum_fw-la v._o my_o 5_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o come_v or_o a_o part_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o 10_o commandment_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o enforce_v i_o have_v purposely_o frame_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o do_v so_o dote_v upon_o this_o fiction_n that_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o accident_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o other_o trivall_a thing_n they_o make_v of_o it_o but_o say_v they_o if_o it_o can_v be_v once_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o this_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n or_o of_o the_o four_o come_v then_o will_v we_o soon_o embrace_v it_o well_o they_o shall_v see_v it_o therefore_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n because_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v

for_o they_o to_o overthrow_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o can_v be_v know_v this_o argument_n be_v much_o press_v against_o i_o by_o m._n stinnet_n for_o one_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o by_o this_o reason_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o neither_o the_o prophet_n nor_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o live_v after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n in_o joshua_n his_o time_n until_o

after_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n keep_v or_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o passover_n on_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o month_n nor_o their_o other_o feast_n day_n &_o all_o forsooth_o because_o the_o stand_n still_o of_o the_o sun_n have_v make_v such_o a_o alteration_n of_o time_n that_o they_o know_v not_o saturday_n from_o sunday_n any_o long_o nor_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o

when_o they_o study_v for_o such_o simple_a stuff_n as_o this_o be_v against_o they_o be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v a_o needless_a voluntary_a and_o unnecessary_a opposition_n to_o god_n ordinance_n for_o what_o necessity_n be_v here_o in_o this_o text_n to_o move_v a_o man_n to_o oppose_v god_n in_o his_o sabbath_n 2._o i_o prove_v their_o ground_n false_a whereon_o they_o build_v they_o suppose_v the_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v know_v because_o of_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n but_o i_o prove_v that_o long_o after_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v

in_o their_o account_n rekone_v onward_o &_o saturday_n after_o it_o must_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o they_o the_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n hinder_v not_o from_o the_o knowledge_n which_o day_n be_v the_o seven_o and_o which_o day_n be_v the_o first_o etc._n etc._n other_o answer_v i_o give_v also_o in_o my_o former_a book_n but_o these_o be_v enough_o &_o too_o many_o for_o such_o idle_a argument_n an_o other_o argument_n of_o like_a nature_n they_o use_v and_o this_o be_v a_o fit_a place_n to_o answer_v it_o if_o it_o deserve_v answer_v it_o be_v this_o if_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o must_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n half_o a_o year_n together_o for_o in_o some_o country_n there_o be_v half_a a_o year_n light_a or_o day_n together_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o be_v it_o good_a also_o against_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o how_o shall_v all_o nationes_fw-la be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n see_v that_o then_o in_o some_o country_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o lord_n day_n half_o a_o year_n long_o &_o c_o 2._o i_o answer_v by_o like_a reason_n a_o man_n may_v thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o 5_o come_v belong_v not_o unto_o all_o man_n because_o some_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o it_o as_o a_o king_n who_o father_n &_o mother_n be_v dead_a but_o what_o &_o if_o the_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_a live_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o 5_o come_v shall_v none_o of_o his_o subject_n therefore_o who_o have_v parent_n and_o superior_n live_v be_v bind_v unto_o the_o 5_o come_v &_o so_o what_o if_o some_o one_o country_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o of_o the_o exceed_a length_n and_o discommodiousness_n of_o their_o day_n shall_v not_o we_o &_o other_o nation_n therefore_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o four_o come_v who_o have_v day_n of_o convenient_a length_n much_o like_a as_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o canaan_n and_o no_o such_o incommodiousenesse_n in_o the_o 10_o come_v it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v thy_o neighbour_n ass_n now_o thousand_o in_o our_o country_n have_v no_o ass_n will_v they_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o such_o man_n among_o we_o who_o neighbour_n have_v ass_n be_v not_o forbid_v to_o covet_v their_o neighbour_n ass_n because_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o 10_o come_v do_v not_o reach_v unto_o every_o man_n other_o object_n that_o we_o can_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o our_o saturday_n begin_v not_o just_a at_o the_o some_o point_n of_o time_n when_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n begin_v in_o canaan_n but_o by_o the_o like_a reason_n we_o may_v now_o say_v that_o we_o can_v celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n neither_o for_o we_o drink_v not_o just_a the_o self_n same_o kind_n of_o wine_n which_o christ_n drink_v

i_o answer_v suppose_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o type_n in_o the_o word_n rest_v yet_o since_o it_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o day_n rest_n but_o of_o a_o everlasting_a rest_n therefore_o may_v the_o

of_o the_o ij_o lamb_n then_o must_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n also_o be_v abolish_v rest_n from_o labour_n and_o the_o moral_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sabbath_n for_o the_o sacrifice_a of_o

yet_o they_o hold_v the_o same_o rest_n to_o be_v moral_a &_o still_o in_o force_n &_o why_o then_o may_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v as_o a_o type_n and_o yet_o remain_v as_o a_o sacred_a time_n for_o god_n worship_n &_o as_o a_o time_n to_o exercise_v mercy_n in_o towards_o poor_a servant_n by_o release_n they_o from_o their_o labour_n wherein_o they_o have_v be_v spend_v the_o 6._o day_n before_o why_o i_o say_v may_v not_o the_o time_n remain_v still_o as_o it_o be_v a_o help_n and_o a_o furtherance_n unto_o those_o moral_a duty_n of_o rest_n &_o the_o worship_n of_o

duty_n a_o 5_o instance_n shall_v be_v the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n or_o whit-sunday_n which_o be_v a_o jewish_a feast_n day_n or_o sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o levit._n 23.15.16.21_o &_o it_o be_v also_o a_o sign_n or_o shadow_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v as_o you_o may_v see_v col._n 2.16.17_o &_o so_o it_o be_v abolish_v nevertheless_o we_o christian_n do_v keep_v this_o feast_n day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n once_o every_o year_n for_o as_o peter_n do_v preach_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n act._n 2.1.14_o so_o do_v our_o church_n upon_o whit-sunday_n only_o we_o have_v cast_v of_o that_o shaddowish_a respect_n which_o it_o have_v among_o the_o jew_n of_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v wherefore_o by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o our_o church_n it_o appear_v that_o a_o jewish_a ceremonial_a day_n may_v be_v retain_v in_o our_o church_n so_o be_v the_o ceremony_n of_o it_o be_v reject_v if_o then_o

for_o as_o the_o rock_n after_o it_o lose_v its_o typicalnesse_n it_o still_o remain_v a_o rock_n so_o may_v the_o sabbath_n after_o christ_n have_v abolish_v its_o typicalnesse_n which_o be_v affix_v to_o it_o it_o may_v still_o remain_v a_o sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v original_o at_o its_o prime_a institution_n it_o may_v remain_v still_o as_o a_o sacred_a time_n for_o god_n worship_n &_o as_o a_o

out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o the_o sabbath_n let_v i_o first_o show_v you_o how_o absurd_o they_o behave_v themselves_o who_o will_v fetch_v argument_n out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o god_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
