sabbath_n above_o they_o therefore_o and_o its_o equality_n with_o nature_n see_v god_n make_v use_v of_o it_o so_o especial_o to_o exhibit_v the_o commandment_n of_o nature_n by_o among_o the_o law_n thereof_o but_o now_o in_o that_o opinion_n wherein_o you_o and_o master_n breerewood_n jump_v i_o must_v differ_v from_o you_o both_o to_o wit_n that_o now_o only_a the_o general_a law_n of_o nature_n remain_v which_o be_v that_o some_o time_n be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o god_n worship_n and_o that_o this_o four_o commandment_n which_o you_o call_v god_n special_a commandment_n be_v utter_o abrogate_a for_o as_o for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o consist_v only_o in_o a_o indefinite_a sequester_v of_o some_o time_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n it_o come_v infinite_o short_a of_o that_o completeness_n and_o solemnity_n of_o time_n which_o our_o necessity_n require_v and_o which_o god_n deserve_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o which_o if_o he_o may_v be_v his_o own_o spokesman_n he_o command_v also_o indeed_o to_o set_v apart_o some_o time_n as_o perhaps_o a_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n or_o some_o such_o like_a time_n for_o prayer_n or_o meditation_n it_o may_v be_v nature_n or_o conscience_n will_v affirm_v it_o requisite_a but_o to_o set_v a_o part_n so_o much_o time_n and_o in_o so_o solemn_a manner_n as_o it_o seem_v god_n look_v for_o and_o our_o state_n require_v neither_o nature_n nor_o conscience_n will_v so_o prompt_v we_o either_o now_o or_o as_o i_o think_v in_o innocency_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o that_o first_o institution_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o sabbath_n be_v rather_o a_o supply_n to_o nature_n then_o any_o law_n in_o nature_n which_o our_o antisabbatarians_n unnecessary_o labour_v to_o disprove_v person_n disprove_v though_o i_o must_v say_v of_o some_o argument_n of_o some_o former_a writer_n of_o this_o subject_n of_o the_o sabbath_n who_o not_o then_o find_v opposition_n which_o have_v be_v a_o ordinary_a mean_n in_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n for_o the_o more_o diligent_a inquisition_n after_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o happy_a discovery_n thereof_o as_o hierome_n say_v of_o the_o father_n how_o that_o before_o arrius_n rise_v up_o they_o deliver_v some_o thing_n innocent_o yet_o less_o vary_o and_o such_o as_o can_v avoid_v the_o calumny_n of_o perverse_a person_n and_o superad_v of_o god_n after_o create_v nature_n by_o immediate_a and_o special_a revelation_n so_o i_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v for_o many_o special_a and_o

so_o this_o commandment_n have_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o creation_n occasional_o affix_v unto_o it_o because_o that_o then_o the_o creation_n be_v god_n great_a and_o eminent_a
