it_o be_v do_v vii_o as_o touch_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v these_o three_o different_a opinion_n viz._n 1._o that_o it_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la naturali_fw-la as_o a_o branch_n proper_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v proper_o and_o direct_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la divino_fw-la positivo_fw-la establish_v by_o god_n express_v positive_a ordinance_n in_o his_o word_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v mere_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la humano_fw-la &_o ecclesiastico_fw-la introduce_v by_o authority_n and_o establish_v by_o the_o custom_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n touch_v which_o three_o opinion_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judicious_a to_o consider_v 1._o whether_o the_o last_o of_o they_o may_v not_o hap_v to_o be_v of_o evil_a consequence_n by_o leave_v iâ—_n in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n at_o her_o pleasure_n to_o change_v the_o old_a proportion_n of_o one_o in_o seven_o which_o have_v continue_v ever_o since_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n into_o any_o other_o great_a oâ—_n lesser_a proportion_n of_o time_n 2._o whether_o the_o two_o former_a opinion_n though_o they_o do_v indeed_o avoid_v that_o inconvenience_n do_v not_o yet_o stand_v upon_o such_o weak_a ground_n otherwise_o that_o they_o be_v by_o many_o degree_n more_o improbable_a than_o the_o three_o 3._o whether_o a_o four_o opinion_n go_v in_o a_o middle_a way_n may_v not_o be_v propose_v with_o great_a probability_n and_o entertain_v with_o better_a safety_n than_o any_o of_o the_o former_a three_o viz._n that_o the_o keep_n holy_a of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v of_o divine_a positive_a right_n take_v jus_o divinum_fw-la in_o a_o large_a signification_n not_o for_o that_o only_a which_o be_v primary_o proper_o and_o direct_o such_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o second_o opinion_n but_o include_v withal_o that_o which_o be_v secondary_o consequent_o and_o analogical_o such_o viii_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v 1._o that_o those_o thing_n be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o the_o first_o and_o strict_a sense_n which_o either_o 1._o be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o express_a ordinance_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o his_o holy_a word_n or_o else_o 2._o may_v be_v deduce_v therefrom_o by_o necessary_a evident_a and_o demonstrative_a illation_n in_o which_o sense_n there_o be_v not_o many_o thing_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la under_o the_o new_a testament_n 2._o that_o for_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o the_o latter_a and_o large_a sense_n it_o suffice_v that_o it_o may_v be_v by_o humane_a discourse_n upon_o reason_n of_o congruity_n probable_o deduce_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o a_o thing_n most_o convenient_a to_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o such_o as_o desire_v unfeigned_o to_o order_v their_o way_n according_a to_o god_n holy_a will._n 3._o that_o this_o kind_n of_o ius_n divinum_fw-la may_v be_v reasonable_o discern_v by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o all_o or_o the_o chief_a of_o these_o four_o thing_n follow_v viz._n 1._o a_o foundation_n of_o equity_n for_o the_o thing_n in_o general_n either_o in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o virtue_n of_o divine_a institution_n 2._o a_o analogy_n hold_v for_o the_o particular_a determination_n with_o such_o law_n and_o direction_n as_o be_v give_v to_o the_o jewish_a people_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o far_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o equity_n hold_v alike_o 3._o some_o probable_a insinuation_n thereof_o in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n 4._o the_o continue_a practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n so_o far_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o several_a age_n thereof_o will_v permit_v for_o lex_fw-la currit_fw-la cum_fw-la praxi_fw-la 4._o that_o all_o these_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n concur_v for_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o the_o several_a particular_n will_v easy_o appear_v ix_o this_o distinction_n of_o ius_n divinum_fw-la be_v to_o be_v observe_v the_o rather_o because_o it_o may_v be_v of_o very_o good_a use_n if_o right_o understand_v and_o apply_v 1._o for_o cut_v off_o the_o most_o material_a instance_n which_o be_v usual_o bring_v by_o the_o romish_a party_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o unwritten_a tradition_n 2._o for_o the_o clear_n of_o some_o and_o the_o silence_v of_o other_o some_o controversy_n in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v dispute_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v with_o much_o heat_n as_o viz._n concern_v 1._o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n by_o bishop_n 2._o the_o distinction_n of_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n 3._o the_o exercise_n of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n as_o suspension_n excommunication_n etc._n etc._n 4._o the_o building_n and_o consecrate_v of_o church_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n 5._o the_o assemble_v of_o synod_n upon_o needful_a occasion_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o for_o the_o settle_n of_o church_n affair_n 6._o the_o forbid_v of_o marriage_n to_o be_v make_v within_o certain_a degree_n of_o consanguinity_n and_o affinity_n 7._o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n bear_v of_o christian_a parent_n 8._o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o clergy_n by_o the_o tithe_n of_o the_o people_n and_o sundry_a other_o thing_n none_o of_o all_o which_o to_o my_o understanding_n seem_v to_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o that_o first_o and_o proper_a sense_n but_o yet_o all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o to_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o this_o latter_a and_o large_a signification_n 3._o for_o the_o right_n bound_v of_o the_o church_n power_n that_o she_o be_v neither_o deny_v her_o lawful_a liberty_n in_o some_o thing_n nor_o yet_o assume_v to_o herself_o a_o great_a power_n than_o of_o right_n belong_v unto_o she_o in_o other_o some_o for_o 1._o in_o thing_n that_o be_v mere_o the_o jure_fw-la humano_fw-la every_o particular_a church_n have_v power_n in_o herself_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o order_v and_o alter_v they_o at_o her_o pleasure_n and_o may_v exercise_v that_o power_n when_o she_o think_v fit_a 2._o thing_n that_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o that_o first_o sense_n the_o universal_a church_n may_v not_o and_o much_o less_o than_o may_v any_o particular_a at_o all_o take_v upon_o she_o to_o alter_v but_o must_v observe_v they_o inviolable_o whatsoever_o necessity_n or_o distress_n she_o be_v put_v unto_o 3._o thing_n that_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la divino_fw-la in_o this_o latter_a sense_n every_o particular_a church_n but_o much_o more_o the_o universal_a have_v a_o power_n to_o alter_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o power_n be_v so_o limit_v to_o extraordinary_a case_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v safe_a for_o she_o at_o all_o to_o exercise_v it_o unless_o it_o be_v for_o the_o avoid_n of_o mighty_a inconvenience_n not_o otherwise_o to_o be_v avoid_v x._o as_o for_o the_o other_o controverse_v point_n touch_v the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n from_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o saturday_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o sunday_n which_o be_v our_o lord's-day_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n among_o christian_n instead_o of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n 1._o be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o commandment_n give_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o apostle_n 2._o nor_o yet_o upon_o any_o apostolical_a constitution_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n unto_o the_o church_n in_o that_o behalf_n but_o 3._o that_o it_o be_v take_v up_o by_o the_o succeed_a church_n partly_o in_o imitation_n of_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n who_o use_v especial_o in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o in_o the_o church_n of_o judea_n the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v still_o observe_v to_o celebrate_v their_o holy_a assembly_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o resurrection_n and_o partly_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o judaisme_n wherewith_o false_a teacher_n in_o those_o first_o time_n be_v ever_o and_o anon_o attempt_v to_o enthral_v the_o christian_a church_n 4._o that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n have_v be_v confirm_v by_o so_o many_o constitution_n both_o ecclesiastical_a and_o imperial_a and_o have_v withal_o continue_v with_o such_o uniform_a consent_n throughout_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n for_o so_o many_o age_n ever_o since_o the_o apostle_n time_n the_o church_n not_o to_o dispute_v what_o she_o may_v or_o may_v not_o do_v in_o plenitudine_fw-la potestatis_fw-la yet_o ought_v not_o to_o attempt_v the_o alter_n of_o it_o to_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o the_o three_o question_n xi_o in_o this_o matter_n touch_v recreation_n to_o be_v use_v on_o the_o lordsday_n much_o need_v not_o be_v say_v there_o be_v little_a difficulty_n in_o it_o and_o
