deuteronomie_n be_v add_v to_o the_o four_o commandment_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v thou_o as_o for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n ordain_v and_o of_o which_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o ceremony_n i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o to_o speak_v universal_o and_o absolute_o it_o can_v be_v so_o call_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v and_o ought_v to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o moral_a duty_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o be_v practise_v by_o sacrifice_n offering_n and_o other_o service_n of_o the_o like_a kind_n and_o by_o a_o exact_a rest_v from_o all_o worldly_a travel_n such_o as_o god_n ordain_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n it_o be_v ceremonial_a 3_o second_o they_o stand_v much_o upon_o the_o word_n follow_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n etc._n etc._n where_o as_o they_o say_v there_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n which_o have_v its_o foundation_n in_o equity_n and_o justice_n for_o if_o god_n give_v to_o man_n six_o day_n for_o their_o own_o affair_n and_o for_o the_o work_n of_o their_o worldly_a call_n be_v it_o not_o more_o than_o just_a that_o they_o consecrate_v a_o seven_o day_n to_o his_o service_n and_o be_v it_o not_o as_o just_a for_o christian_n as_o for_o jew_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o christian_n since_o they_o take_v six_o day_n for_o their_o work_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v as_o the_o jew_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n of_o sabbath_n to_o god_n they_o add_v also_o that_o as_o the_o labour_n of_o six_o day_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o this_o reason_n and_o whence_o it_o be_v take_v be_v not_o a_o ceremonial_a thing_n no_o more_o shall_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v ceremonial_a 4_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o foresay_a reason_n there_o be_v a_o manifest_a justice_n and_o equity_n which_o continue_v for_o ever_o but_o that_o justice_n be_v general_o in_o this_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v many_o day_n for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o own_o work_n it_o be_v reasonable_a he_o consecrate_v one_o among_o many_o for_o god_n service_n yea_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o justice_n to_o employ_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a a_o great_a number_n of_o day_n upon_o god_n service_n then_o upon_o our_o own_o business_n nay_o to_o bestow_v they_o all_o also_o in_o consequence_n of_o this_o justice_n and_o equity_n we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o who_o time_n the_o christian_n be_v far_o more_o beholden_a to_o god_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v since_o god_n have_v discharge_v they_o of_o many_o burden_n of_o outward_a ceremony_n which_o do_v lay_v heavy_a upon_o that_o people_n and_o have_v call_v they_o to_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n a_o people_n more_o frank_a and_o more_o affectionate_a to_o his_o service_n all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o much_o as_o possible_o can_v be_v shall_v be_v holy_a day_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o because_o they_o can_v possible_o meet_v together_o every_o day_n to_o serve_v in_o common_a which_o nevertheless_o he_o look_v for_o as_o well_o as_o for_o a_o particular_a service_n they_o must_v stint_v some_o ordinary_a day_n for_o that_o end_n and_o in_o this_o stint_n must_v not_o show_v themselves_o inferior_n to_o the_o jew_n appoint_v less_o than_o one_o day_n among_o seven_o to_o god_n service_n this_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o foresay_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v obligatory_a for_o ever_o for_o to_o dedicate_v to_o god_n precise_o a_o seven_o day_n after_o we_o have_v bestow_v six_o day_n upon_o ourselves_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o just_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o more_o just_a nor_o better_o proportion_v nor_o more_o obligatory_a of_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n special_o to_o christian_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o consecrate_v to_o god_n one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o or_o of_o four_o for_o the_o more_o we_o hallow_v to_o god_n the_o more_o do_v we_o that_o which_o be_v just_a equitable_a and_o well_o order_v and_o the_o more_o do_v we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o be_v natural_o bind_v unto_o towards_o he_o if_o then_o god_n ordain_v in_o time_n pass_v under_o the_o law_n that_o the_o day_n which_o he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o dedicate_v unto_o he_o shall_v be_v particular_o one_o of_o seven_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o natural_a justice_n which_o be_v more_o in_o that_o number_n or_o for_o any_o proportion_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v more_o convenient_a in_o that_o behalf_n than_o the_o appointment_n of_o any_o other_o number_n but_o because_o it_o be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o direct_v and_o rule_v for_o that_o season_n the_o time_n of_o his_o service_n and_o to_o impose_v no_o more_o than_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o upon_o a_o people_n load_v already_o with_o many_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o no_o particular_a justice_n be_v tie_v to_o this_o number_n of_o seven_o more_o than_o to_o any_o other_o this_o reason_n contain_v in_o the_o foresay_a word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n can_v be_v moral_a nor_o consequent_o perpetual_a but_o only_o positive_a and_o for_o a_o short_a continuance_n in_o that_o it_o command_v to_o work_v six_o day_n and_o to_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v moral_a only_a in_o the_o foundation_n and_o substance_n thereof_o which_o be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o liberty_n to_o bestow_v a_o number_n of_o day_n upon_o our_o own_o affair_n it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o there_o be_v one_o day_n appoint_v wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o serve_v he_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v christian_n and_o that_o as_o frequent_o nay_o much_o more_o than_o the_o jew_n do_v which_o we_o accord_n willing_o to_o be_v perpetual_a but_o with_o this_o restriction_n that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o choice_n of_o one_o day_n among_o a_o number_n of_o other_o day_n be_v not_o stint_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o bind_v we_o no_o more_o to_o one_o of_o seven_o then_o to_o one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o 3_o whereas_o they_o add_v that_o as_o the_o labour_n of_o six_o day_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n ceremonial_a so_o neither_o shall_v the_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v place_v in_o that_o rank_n i_o answer_v first_o infer_v from_o thence_o a_o contrary_a argument_n that_o as_o to_o take_v pain_n in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o temporal_a calling_n consider_v the_o condition_n of_o this_o present_a life_n be_v a_o thing_n just_a and_o necessary_a and_o may_v be_v call_v moral_n but_o to_o work_v of_o seven_o day_n six_o have_v not_o in_o it_o any_o special_a necessity_n even_o so_o it_o be_v necessary_a just_a and_o moral_a to_o dedicate_v some_o time_n to_o god_n public_a service_n but_o that_o such_o a_o time_n shall_v be_v precise_o one_o of_o seven_o day_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n moral_a second_o that_o which_o i_o say_v to_o be_v ceremonial_a in_o the_o 4._o commandment_n be_v the_o commandment_n itself_o to_o wit_n that_o which_o god_n express_o and_o purposely_o enjoin_v to_o be_v keep_v as_o belong_v to_o his_o outward_a and_o public_a service_n now_o he_o command_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o precise_o save_v the_o observation_n and_o sanctification_n of_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n by_o refrain_v from_o all_o temporal_a calling_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v as_o that_o make_v no_o part_n of_o god_n service_n no_o more_o do_v it_o make_v a_o part_n of_o the_o commandment_n although_o god_n thereby_o warn_v man_n that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v their_o day_n in_o idleness_n but_o shall_v apply_v themselves_o every_o day_n to_o the_o labour_n of_o a_o honest_a call_n but_o be_v a_o permission_n put_v only_o by_o concession_n and_o relative_o to_o the_o commandment_n in_o this_o sense_n thou_o be_v permit_v to_o work_v six_o day_n but_o on_o the_o 7_o day_n thou_o shall_v abstain_v from_o all_o kind_n of_o work_n therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o if_o these_o word_n put_v occasional_o in_o the_o commandment_n do_v not_o impart_v any_o ceremony_n the_o commandment_n itself_o be_v not_o ceremonial_a three_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o labour_n of_o six_o day_n establish_v not_o unto_o we_o any_o ceremony_n as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o it_o make_v as_o
