two_o sort_n the_o one_o that_o be_v found_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o oblige_v all_o man_n natural_o the_o other_o that_o be_v of_o a_o positive_a law_n depend_v on_o

that_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o it_o be_v moral_a be_v of_o far_o great_a extension_n than_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v moral_a in_o this_o last_o sort_n 3_o but_o first_o they_o speak_v against_o the_o ordinary_a sense_n and_o custom_n of_o all_o man_n who_o by_o the_o word_n moral_a understand_v that_o which_o be_v natural_o and_o universal_o just_a that_o be_v which_o reason_n when_o it_o be_v not_o mislead_v and_o the_o inward_a law_n of_o nature_n dictate_v by_o common_a principle_n of_o honesty_n or_o aught_o to_o dictate_v to_o all_o man_n of_o itself_o without_o any_o outward_a usher_n this_o law_n all_o man_n take_v for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o reciprocal_o they_o take_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o this_o law_n which_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o ordinary_a and_o common_a distinction_n that_o all_o divine_n make_v between_o the_o moral_a ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n which_o in_o former_a time_n god_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o which_o distinction_n they_o refer_v to_o the_o last_o hand_n and_o sort_n all_o the_o positive_a ordinance_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a government_n and_o to_o the_o first_o the_o ordinance_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereof_o these_o other_o be_v circumstantial_a appendix_n and_o determination_n nay_o moral_a signify_v only_o the_o duty_n of_o essential_a godliness_n and_o righteousness_n in_o thing_n belong_v natural_o to_o good_a and_o holy_a manner_n towards_o god_n or_o towards_o man_n whether_o in_o do_v good_a or_o depart_v from_o evil_n and_o not_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v useful_a and_o in_o some_o sort_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a behaviour_n otherwise_o thing_n ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a as_o such_o shall_v not_o be_v distinguish_v from_o moral_a thing_n for_o these_o also_o have_v a_o useful_a reference_n to_o the_o foresay_a duty_n of_o good_a and_o godly_a behaviour_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n although_o advow_v to_o be_v a_o positive_a law_n be_v notwithstanding_o call_v moral_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o

they_o have_v confess_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o positive_a law_n ground_v only_o on_o the_o order_n and_o discipline_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o establish_v they_o broach_v a_o affirmation_n without_o ground_n and_o without_o reason_n when_o they_o say_v therewith_o that_o it_o be_v of_o a_o immutable_a right_n and_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o perpetual_a obligation_n for_o where_o and_o from_o whence_o be_v there_o any_o evidence_n of_o this_o do_v this_o right_n belong_v to_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o the_o positive_a law_n their_o condition_n and_o nature_n give_v it_o unto_o they_o will_v any_o divine_a any_o lawgiver_n any_o logician_n make_v of_o this_o a_o problem_n and_o hold_v for_o the_o affirmative_a away_o with_o sophistry_n and_o captious_a deal_n it_o must_v be_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n that_o match_v positive_a with_o natural_a law_n and_o mark_v they_o with_o the_o silver_n stamp_n of_o immutability_n now_o if_o god_n have_v not_o communicate_v this_o dignity_n with_o any_o positive_a law_n ordain_v by_o he_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o this_o day_n what_o appearance_n be_v there_o that_o he_o have_v give_v it_o as_o it_o be_v by_o birthright_n to_o the_o sabbath_n have_v they_o to_o underprop_v this_o their_o assertion_n any_o clear_a and_o evident_a testimony_n bring_v from_o the_o unreprocheable_a truth_n of_o holy_a scripture_n for_o we_o make_v no_o account_n of_o any_o man_n bare_a affirmation_n but_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o the_o discourse_n follow_v shall_v show_v

second_o answer_n unto_o it_o 1_o my_o three_o argument_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o the_o gentile_n never_o know_v by_o natural_a light_n nor_o also_o by_o tradition_n come_v unto_o

sure_o if_o it_o be_v a_o morality_n and_o a_o point_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o if_o god_n have_v prescribe_v it_o by_o a_o particular_a commandment_n to_o adam_n will_v he_o to_o
