surely_n god_n never_o tie_v they_o by_o any_o positive_a law_n to_o such_o a_o day_n neither_o give_v he_o they_o any_o notice_n thereof_o by_o the_o inbred_a light_n of_o nature_n and_o it_o

the_o rumour_n whereof_o run_v abroad_o after_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o this_o ceremony_n be_v by_o their_o author_n

7_o they_o object_n against_o this_o that_o philo_n a_o learned_a jew_n who_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o the_o life_n of_o moses_n speak_v of_o

give_v by_o moses_n to_o the_o jew_n that_o some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o point_n of_o the_o say_a law_n and_o by_o it_o of_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n may_v have_v come_v unto_o they_o but_o under_o a_o cloud_n so_o thick_a and_o dark_a that_o they_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o all_o the_o poet_n have_v do_v of_o the_o flood_n say_v that_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n all_o thing_n be_v

enforce_v man_n to_o believe_v that_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o in_o all_o time_n the_o gentile_n celebrate_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o make_v of_o it_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n 10_o indeed_o if_o we_o can_v find_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v common_o and_o regular_o observe_v from_o time_n to_o time_n a_o seven_o day_n though_o not_o the_o same_o seven_o to_o wit_n the_o last_o of_o seven_o that_o god_n rest_v in_o and_o hallow_a a_o more_o probable_a inference_n may_v be_v make_v of_o that_o continual_a practice_n that_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o at_o least_o that_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n enjoin_v it_o to_o all_o mankind_n and_o that_o so_o it_o pass_v by_o tradition_n to_o the_o gentile_n yet_o not_o without_o receive_v some_o alteration_n and_o corruption_n by_o process_n of_o time_n and_o by_o the_o treachery_n of_o man_n but_o no_o such_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v find_v nothing_o can_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n save_v this_o only_a that_o the_o gentile_n have_v keep_v holy_a and_o solemn_a day_n yet_o with_o great_a diversity_n which_o fit_v not_o the_o turn_n of_o the_o maintainer_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o avail_v only_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o hallow_n of_o some_o day_n to_o the_o godhead_n for_o his_o solemn_a service_n be_v a_o point_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n further_o it_o go_v not_o and_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o way_n stead_v to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o consecration_n of_o a_o particular_a day_n among_o a_o settle_a number_n rather_o than_o of_o another_o day_n and_o far_o less_o of_o a_o seven_o day_n for_o god_n service_n 11_o i_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o part_n that_o if_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n have_v be_v a_o point_n of_o natural_a morality_n and_o if_o god_n have_v command_v it_o from_o the_o begin_n to_o adam_n father_n of_o all_o mankind_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o he_o and_o by_o all_o his_o offspring_n after_o he_o all_o the_o gentile_n in_o all_o time_n shall_v have_v know_v and_o practise_v it_o either_o by_o natural_a instinct_n or_o by_o tradition_n as_o they_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o other_o moral_a duty_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n practise_v they_o of_o if_o they_o have_v utter_o forget_v that_o day_n god_n have_v rebuke_v they_o for_o this_o omission_n and_o inobservation_n as_o he_o reprehend_v they_o most_o sharp_o for_o the_o transgression_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o moral_a commandment_n as_o indeed_o they_o have_v be_v for_o such_o a_o omission_n and_o commission_n blame_v worthy_a chief_o after_o they_o be_v inform_v by_o the_o renew_a institution_n of_o this_o day_n among_o the_o jew_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v it_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o all_o man_n they_o shall_v not_o have_v find_v any_o pretence_n to_o excuse_v the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o duty_n whereby_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v holy_a that_o day_n if_o as_o it_o be_v pretend_v the_o four_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n employ_v a_o universal_a observation_n of_o that_o duty_n among_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o commandment_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o their_o unbelief_n can_v not_o be_v unto_o they_o a_o cause_n of_o excuse_n and_o make_v they_o blameless_a nay_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o worthy_a of_o reprehension_n that_o their_o blindness_n be_v voluntary_a and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n god_n have_v not_o be_v silent_a 12_o some_o of_o those_o that_o acknowledge_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o positive_a commandment_n unknown_a by_o nature_n and_o depend_v whole_o of_o institution_n yet_o as_o ancient_a as_o the_o creation_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n reply_n that_o god_n do_v not_o check_v the_o gentile_n for_o the_o inobservation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n because_o he_o have_v matter_n worthy_a of_o reprehension_n of_o far_o great_a consequence_n than_o this_o be_v namely_o heinous_a crime_n against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n common_a to_o they_o all_o which_o make_v he_o to_o conceal_v this_o under_o the_o cloak_n of_o silence_n as_o be_v only_o a_o omission_n of_o a_o positive_a law_n forget_v by_o they_o and_o of_o far_o lesser_a consequence_n than_o these_o monstrous_a and_o ugly_a sin_n that_o no_o man_n can_v infer_v of_o this_o silence_n that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n have_v not_o be_v and_o be_v not_o obligatory_a from_o the_o beginning_n see_v we_o find_v some_o crime_n commit_v even_o against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v not_o in_o any_o part_n of_o holy_a scripture_n censure_v in_o the_o gentile_n as_o for_o example_n polygamy_n or_o have_v of_o more_o than_o one_o wife_n at_o once_o and_o yet_o no_o christian_a will_v infer_v thence_o that_o the_o marriage_n of_o two_o person_n only_o to_o be_v one_o flesh_n have_v not_o be_v establish_v by_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o be_v practise_v of_o all_o man_n 13_o this_o reply_n be_v of_o small_a weight_n for_o although_o the_o forget_v and_o inobservation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o crime_n lesser_a than_o be_v many_o which_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o may_v have_v be_v a_o reason_n to_o god_n to_o censure_v it_o more_o seldom_o and_o not_o so_o eager_o in_o the_o gentile_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o people_n yet_o in_o all_o likeness_n of_o truth_n it_o can_v not_o be_v a_o reason_n to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o reprove_v it_o at_o all_o but_o pass_v it_o under_o perpetual_a silence_n while_o he_o rebuke_v in_o diverse_a place_n most_o

a_o crime_n of_o lesser_a moment_n then_o other_o whereby_o they_o violate_v the_o moral_a law_n nevertheless_o he_o have_v most_o frequent_o and_o sharp_o impute_v it_o unto_o they_o if_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o they_o as_o be_v pretend_v be_v afterward_o to_o god_n a_o sufficient_a ground_n and_o just_a reason_n to_o reprove_v they_o grievous_o both_o for_o the_o oblivion_n and_o for_o the_o contempt_n thereof_o when_o now_o and_o then_o they_o transgress_v in_o the_o one_o or_o in_o the_o other_o suppose_v the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o have_v
