A45832	Saturday no sabbath, or, The seventh-day Sabbath proved to be of no force to the beleeving Gentiles in the times of the Gospel, by the law of nature, Moses, Christ being an account of several publique disputations held at Stone-Chappel by Pauls, London, between Dr. Chamberlain, Mr. Tillam, and Mr. Coppinger ... and Jer.

may_v be_v the_o same_o when_o the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o same_o mr._n coppinger_n as_o to_o your_o first_o instance_n namely_o that_o the_o seven_o year_n be_v command_v for_o a_o mora_n reason_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a reason_n for_o the_o text_n faith_n that_o the_o poor_a of_o thy_o people_n may_v eat_v which_o be_v not_o for_o all_o and_o as_o to_o your_o second_o instance_n i_o confess_v the_o reason_n do_v remain_v and_o be_v universal_a viz._n that_o god_n do_v sanctify_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v the_o law_n remain_v that_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n minister_n still_o mr._n ives_n as_o for_o your_o answer_n to_o my_o first_o instance_n it_o do_v signify_v little_a for_o i_o say_v refresh_v the_o poor_a be_v a_o moral_a and_o universal_a duty_n and_o if_o than_o the_o seven_o year_n of_o rest_n be_v command_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o poor_a and_o cattle_n then_o by_o your_o argument_n if_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o law_n viz._n that_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v refresh_v do_v remain_v then_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v by_o your_o logic_n tha●_n the_o seven_o year_n sabbath_n must_v remain_v as_o well_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o as_o touch_v your_o answer_n to_o my_o second_o instance_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o your_o answer_n you_o have_v confute_v yourself_o for_o you_o confess_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n remain_v which_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n for_o sanctify_v the_o priest_n second_o you_o say_v that_o the_o law_n remain_v that_o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n minister_n then_o by_o your_o favour_n if_o you_o can_v make_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n for_o sanctify_v the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n a_o reason_n why_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v not_o the_o same_o but_o another_o priesthood_n than_o i_o may_v make_v the_o reason_n for_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n serve_v for_o the_o sanctify_a not_o the_o same_o but_o another_o day_n mr._n coppinger_n so_o you_o may_v if_o you_o can_v prove_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o i_o can_v prove_v the_o abolish_n the_o levitical_a priesthood_n mr._n ives_n then_o you_o have_v confute_v yourself_o again_o and_o answer_v your_o own_o argument_n for_o your_o argument_n be_v that_o wherever_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o law_n remain_v there_o the_o law_n remain_v and_o you_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n do_v remain_v why_o god_n will_v have_v israel_n sanctify_v the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n and_o now_o in_o your_o last_o answer_n tell_v i_o that_o that_o priesthood_n be_v abolish_v so_o then_o if_o i_o can_v never_o show_v you_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v abolish_v yet_o i_o have_v confute_v your_o argument_n by_o show_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o law_n do_v remain_v when_o the_o law_n do_v not_o remain_v and_o you_o have_v confess_v both_o for_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o israel_n be_v to_o sanctify_v that_o priesthood_n be_v the_o same_o still_o viz._n because_o god_n sanctify_v his_o people_n and_o you_o confess_v the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o you_o say_v the_o priesthood_n be_v abolish_v but_o last_o i_o have_v show_v you_o in_o the_o former_a disputation_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v abolish_v as_o well_o as_o the_o levitical_a

that_o of_o paul_n be_v a_o jew_n that_o they_o express_o command_v the_o gentile_a believer_n not_o to_o observe_v will_v it_o not_o be_v ridiculous_a then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o i_o

therefore_o from_o those_o word_n the_o whole_a law_n the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n can_v reasonable_o be_v infer_v neither_o let_v any_o one_o think_v to_o relieve_v himself_o by_o the_o help_n of_o this_o distinction_n viz._n that_o though_o believer_n be_v not_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o it_o contain_v moral_n and_o ceremonial_n yet_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v the_o whole_a
