caution_n of_o not_o incur_v the_o threat_n of_o infringe_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n even_o the_o least_o of_o they_o and_o by_o way_n of_o a_o charitable_a requital_n we_o warn_v he_o to_o be_v

some_o passage_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o easter_n do_v require_v a_o little_a animadversion_n as_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o page_n 134._o which_o he_o have_v do_v several_a time_n before_o that_o

they_o right_o and_o stout_o resist_v and_o refuse_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o universal_a reception_n of_o all_o the_o church_n conjunct_o as_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o scriptural_a authority_n than_o any_o imposition_n of_o rome_n upon_o they_o he_o have_v a_o strange_a notion_n page_n 130._o as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o which_o be_v that_o first_o rome_n endeavour_v to_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o passover_n upon_o the_o lordsday_n and_o so_o the_o weekly_a holy_a rest_n upon_o that_o day_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n imply_v that_o rome_n herself_o observe_v the_o passover_n lordsday_n before_o she_o do_v the_o weekly_a whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o rome_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o it_o be_v the_o dominical_a day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n whereas_o the_o proper_a paschal-day_n be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o honour_n to_o that_o day_n do_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n require_v easter_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o not_o ordain_v easter_n firstday_n as_o a_o shooe-horn_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o weekly_a first_o day_n after_o moreover_o in_o those_o church_n wherein_o they_o dissent_v from_o rome_n as_o to_o the_o day_n of_o easter_n they_o concur_v with_o she_o in_o the_o weekly_a lordsday_n so_o that_o the_o lordsday_n be_v weekly_o observe_v by_o they_o before_o easter_n be_v keep_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o yearly_a first_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o usherer_n in_o of_o that_o weekday_n which_o be_v before_o it_o sect_n xxi_o as_o the_o conclusion_n and_o result_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n that_o

and_o keep_v it_o up_o in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o departure_n from_o they_o and_o its_o abrogation_n and_o so_o these_o speech_n of_o his_o will_v then_o be_v upon_o record_n and_o probable_o
