be_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n but_o this_o the_o day_n which_o be_v the_o lord's-day_n which_o different_a construction_n seem_v plain_o to_o intend_v in_o our_o law_n a_o different_a import_n of_o

sabbath_n be_v no_o moral_a precept_n but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a ergo._n arg._n 2._o the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v convince_v all_o gospel-believer_n of_o all_o immoral_a evil_n or_o of_o every_o

a_o moral_a precept_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v not_o a_o immoral_a evil_n to_o work_v upon_o that_o day_n etc._n etc._n or_o thus_o arg._n 3._o the_o holy_a spirit_n guide_v all_o true_a believer_n into_o all_o truth_n that_o result_v from_o the_o holy_a nature_n of_o god_n or_o that_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o command_v the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v not_o guide_v all_o true_a believer_n to_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n ergo_fw-la the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n be_v no_o such_o truth_n etc._n etc._n arg._n 4._o if_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o practice_n and_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n nor_o precedent_n for_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n ought_v not_o by_o we_o to_o be_v observe_v but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a ergo_fw-la it_o be_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o observe_v that_o day_n arg._n 5._o if_o christ_n and_o paul_n after_o he_o have_v make_v know_v or_o declare_v the_o whole_a counsel_n and_o will_n of_o god_n or_o whatsoever_o we_o shall_v believe_v observe_v and_o practice_v but_o have_v not_o make_v know_v or_o declare_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n then_o it_o be_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o observe_v it_o but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a ergo._n arg._n 6._o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n as_o give_v by_o moses_n belong_v whole_o or_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a oeconomy_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a oeconomy_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o gospel-church_n then_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o give_v by_o moses_n belong_v not_o to_o we_o but_o this_o be_v so_o because_o death_n be_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o breach_n thereof_o

therefore_o or_o not_o in_o force_n to_o we_o answ_n i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n be_v give_v forth_o by_o christ_n consider_v as_o mediator_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o

our_o lord_n have_v not_o nor_o can_v confirm_v that_o precept_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v the_o sabbath_n only_o belong_v to_o the_o moysaicall_a oeconomy_n and_o will_v you_o

1._o this_o show_v that_o none_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o give_v by_o moses_n be_v in_o force_n to_o believer_n or_o oblige_v the_o gospel-church_n but_o only_o belong_v to_o the_o jewish_a
