at_o his_o door_n this_o be_v it_o of_o which_o he_o stand_v guilty_a before_o god_n namely_o that_o his_o brother_n blood_n cry_v unto_o god_n against_o he_o from_o the_o ground_n gen._n 4._o 10._o i_o therefore_o take_v little_a notice_n of_o what_o a_o man_n say_v though_o he_o flourish_v his_o matter_n with_o many_o brave_a word_n if_o he_o bring_v not_o with_o he_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n for_o that_o and_o that_o only_a aught_o to_o be_v my_o ground_n of_o faith_n as_o to_o how_o my_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v by_o i_o for_o in_o the_o matter_n material_a to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o be_v safe_a that_o thus_o i_o be_v guide_v in_o my_o judgement_n for_o here_o only_o i_o perceive_v the_o footstep_n of_o the_o flock_n ezek._n 3._o 11._o song_n 1._o 8._o they_o say_v further_o that_o for_o god_n to_o sanctify_v a_o thing_n be_v to_o set_v it_o apart_o this_o be_v true_a than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v set_z apart_z for_o adam_n in_o paradise_n and_o so_o that_o it_o be_v ordain_v a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n to_o the_o saint_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o hint_v before_o that_o god_n do_v sanctify_v it_o to_o his_o own_o rest_n the_o lord_n also_o have_v set_v apart_o he_o that_o be_v godly_a for_o himself_o but_o again_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o god_n to_o sanctify_v this_o or_o that_o thing_n to_o a_o use_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o command_v that_o that_o thing_n be_v forthwith_o in_o be_v to_o we_o as_o for_o instance_n the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v set_v apart_o many_o year_n for_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n before_o they_o possess_v that_o land_n christ_n jesus_n be_v long_o sanctify_v that_o be_v set_z apart_z to_o be_v our_o redeemer_n before_o he_o send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n deut._n 32._o 8._o joh._n 10._o 36._o if_o then_o by_o god_n sanctify_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n you_o understand_v it_o for_o a_o sabbath_n for_o man_n but_o the_o text_n say_v not_o so_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v so_o set_v apart_o for_o man_n long_o before_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o such_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o make_v know_v to_o man_n consider_v second_o moses_n himself_o seem_v to_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o at_o first_o not_o by_o tradition_n but_o by_o revelation_n as_o it_o be_v exod._n 16._o 23._o this_o be_v that_o say_v he_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v namely_o to_o i_o for_o we_o read_v not_o as_o yet_o that_o he_o say_v it_o to_o any_o body_n else_o to_o morrow_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n also_o holy_a nehemiah_n suggest_v this_o when_o he_o say_v of_o israel_n to_o god_n thou_o make_v know_v to_o they_o thy_o holy_a sabbath_n neh._n 9_o 14._o the_o first_o of_o these_o text_n show_v we_o that_o tiding_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n for_o man_n come_v first_o to_o moses_n from_o heaven_n and_o the_o second_o that_o it_o be_v to_o israel_n before_o unknown_a but_o how_o can_v be_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o if_o the_o seven_o day-sabbath_n be_v teach_v man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n or_o if_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v give_v to_o man_n by_o a_o positive_a precept_n for_o to_o be_v keep_v this_o therefore_o strengthen_v my_o doubt_n about_o the_o affirmative_a of_o the_o first_o question_n and_o also_o prepare_v a_o argument_n for_o what_o i_o plead_v as_o to_o this_o we_o have_v now_o under_o consideration_n three_o this_o yet_o seem_v to_o i_o more_o scrupulous_a because_o that_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v hide_v from_o man_n to_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n as_o be_v clear_a for_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o breaker_n of_o the_o sabbath_n they_o put_v he_o in_o ward_n because_o it_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o declare_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o numb_a 15._o 32_o 33_o 34_o 35_o 36._o but_o methinks_v have_v this_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v impose_v upon_o man_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o penalty_n or_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o breach_n thereof_o have_v certain_o be_v know_v before_o now_o when_o adam_n be_v forbid_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a the_o penalty_n be_v then_o if_o he_o disobey_v annex_v to_o the_o prohibition_n so_o also_o it_o be_v as_o to_o circumcision_n the_o passover_n and_o other_o ordinance_n for_o worship_n how_o then_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o man_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o that_o the_o punishment_n for_o the_o breach_n thereof_o shall_v be_v hide_v with_o god_n for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n gen._n 2._o 16_o 17._o ch_z 17._o 13_o 14._o exod._n 12._o 43_o 44_o 45_o 46_o 47_o 48._o and_o the_o same_o chapter_n vers_fw-la 19_o four_o god_n give_v of_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v with_o respect_n to_o state_v and_o stint_v worship_n in_o his_o church_n the_o which_o until_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o set_v up_o among_o his_o people_n thing_n till_o then_o be_v add_v or_o grow_v now_o a_o sacrifice_n than_o circumcision_n than_o again_o long_o after_o that_o the_o passover_n etc._n etc._n but_o when_o israel_n be_v come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n there_o to_o receive_v as_o god_n congregation_n a_o state_v stint_v limit_a way_n of_o worship_n than_o he_o appoint_v they_o a_o time_n and_o time_n to_o perform_v this_o worship_n in_o but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o before_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o the_o whole_a five_o book_n of_o moses_n plain_o show_v wherefore_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o such_o a_o limit_a day_n can_v be_v moral_a or_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n nor_o impose_v till_o then_o and_o methinks_v christ_n jesus_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v plain_o enough_o declare_v this_o very_a thing_n for_o that_o when_o they_o repeat_v unto_o the_o people_n or_o expound_v before_o they_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o quite_o exclude_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n yea_o paul_n make_v that_o law_n to_o we_o complete_a without_o it_o we_o will_v first_o touch_v upon_o what_o christ_n do_v in_o this_o case_n as_o in_o his_o sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n matthew_n chap._n 5._o chap._n 6._o chap._n 7._o in_o all_o that_o large_a and_o heavenly_a discourse_n upon_o this_o law_n you_o have_v not_o one_o syllable_n about_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n so_o when_o the_o young_a man_n come_v run_v and_o kneeling_z and_o ask_v what_o good_a thing_n he_o shall_v do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n christ_n bid_v he_o keep_v the_o commandment_n but_o when_o the_o young_a man_n ask_v which_o christ_n quite_o leave_v out_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o put_v he_o upon_o the_o other_o as_o in_o matth._n 19_o 17_o 18_o 19_o as_o in_o mark_n 10._o 18_o 19_o 20._o as_o in_o luke_n 18._o 18_o 19_o 20._o you_o will_v say_v he_o leave_v out_o the_o first_o and_o second_o and_o three_o likewise_o to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o be_v because_o the_o young_a man_n by_o his_o question_n do_v presuppose_v that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o doer_n of_o they_o for_o he_o profess_v in_o his_o supplication_n that_o he_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o that_o which_o be_v natural_o good_a which_o be_v god_n in_o that_o his_o petition_n be_v so_o universal_a for_o every_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v command_v paul_n also_o when_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n quite_o leave_v out_o of_o that_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n and_o profess_v that_o to_o we_o christian_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v complete_a without_o it_o as_o in_o rom._n 3._o 7_o 19_o as_o in_o rom._n 13._o 7_o 8_o 9_o 10._o as_o in_o 1_o tim._n 1._o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11._o he_o that_o love_v another_o say_v he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o this_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o commandment_n it_o be_v brief_o comprehend_v under_o this_o say_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a to_o his_o neighbour_n therefore_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n i_o make_v not_o a_o argument_n of_o this_o but_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o mention_v it_o as_o i_o go_v but_o certain_o have_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v moral_a or_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o some_o will_v fain_o persuade_v themselves_o it_o will_v not_o so_o slender_o have_v be_v pass_v over_o in_o all_o these_o repetition_n of_o this_o law_n but_o will_v by_o christ_n
