nor_o yet_o a_o gospel_n nor_o ordinance_n to_o convey_v they_o to_o he_o so_o that_o if_o you_o mind_v it_o well_o you_o will_v see_v that_o all_o the_o part_n and_o prancy_n of_o

this_o be_v indeed_o true_a we_o may_v well_o give_v over_o write_v book_n about_o religion_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n neither_o for_o jew_n nor_o gentile_n for_o if_o christ_n be_v a_o sinner_n his_o blood_n can_v take_v away_o no_o sin_n and_o a_o sinner_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o he_o break_v sabbath_n and_o teach_v other_o so_o to_o do_v in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n although_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v but_o ceremonial_a for_o there_o be_v no_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n can_v be_v neglect_v the_o small_a of_o all_o the_o ceremony_n without_o sin_n till_o by_o christ_n death_n they_o be_v abolish_v but_o if_o william_n have_v have_v so_o much_o charity_n for_o his_o saviour_n as_o to_o have_v judge_v he_o a_o better_a expounder_n of_o the_o law_n than_o the_o pharisee_n he_o have_v not_o fall_v into_o this_o blasphemy_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o the_o pharisee_n to_o lay_v that_o sin_n to_o his_o charge_n but_o you_o must_v second_v it_o to_o the_o harden_v of_o the_o poor_a jew_n and_o the_o destroy_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v therefore_o if_o the_o sabbath-keeper_n be_v ignorant_a of_o christ_n mediation_n as_o you_o tell_v your_o reader_n they_o be_v if_o they_o come_v to_o you_o for_o knowledge_n they_o be_v like_a to_o be_v well_o help_v up_o as_o for_o your_o discourse_n about_o what_o be_v natural_o moral_a and_o positive_o moral_a it_o be_v not_o worth_a a_o dispute_n there_o be_v so_o little_a between_o they_o the_o one_o as_o true_o bind_v the_o conscience_n as_o the_o other_o but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n i_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v natural_o moral_a first_o there_o be_v never_o any_o people_n profess_v a_o god_n but_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o for_o his_o worship_n and_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n of_o the_o first_o table_n that_o man_n do_v come_v near_o to_o ordinary_o that_o have_v not_o the_o express_a letter_n of_o the_o law_n for_o their_o rule_n second_o the_o time_n be_v yet_o to_o come_v that_o ever_o i_o hear_v or_o see_v any_o man_n dispute_v or_o write_v or_o preach_v against_o the_o sabbath_n but_o he_o at_o that_o very_a time_n and_o in_o that_o very_a work_n assert_v some_o thing_n that_o do_v plain_o manifest_a that_o it_o be_v fair_o write_v in_o his_o heart_n or_o
