law_n &_o duty_n both_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o direction_n from_o the_o scripture_n you_o make_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n that_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v ceremonial_a and_o

the_o time_n be_v abolish_v there_o those_o duty_n usual_o perform_v in_o that_o time_n be_v abolisn_v also_o wherefore_o if_o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o time_n and_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o jewish_a

of_o rest_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n and_o jewish_a time_n thus_o you_o see_v unless_o you_o hold_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n moral_a you_o can_v hold_v the_o duty_n

light_v upon_o man_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n unto_o their_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n of_o preach_v and_o prayer_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v that_o god_n punish_v the_o contempt_n of_o his_o ordinance_n than_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o day_n for_o such_o as_o profane_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o come_v not_o at_o church_n then_o to_o serve_v god_n when_o every_o body_n do_v serve_v god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o be_v ordinary_a contemner_n of_o god_n worship_n &_o service_n most_o just_o therefore_o may_v god_n plague_v they_o for_o contempt_n of_o his_o ordinance_n when_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o that_o height_n of_o impiety_n that_o they_o dare_v ordenary_o neglect_v god_n worship_n yea_o and_o upon_o solemn_a time_n also_o appoint_v by_o the_o church_n and_o when_o all_o man_n meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n then_o to_o show_v a_o contempt_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o otherwise_o so_o it_o be_v rather_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n than_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o day_n that_o god_n punish_v 3._o well_o nigh_o all_o man_n be_v persuade_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n enjoin_v by_o the_o four_o comm._n albeit_o in_o truth_n saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o by_o the_o four_o com._n now_o if_o man_n do_v neither_o give_v god_n the_o

since_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o duration_n &_o continuance_n of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o in_o this_o case_n he_o will_v join_v the_o moral_a and_o

with_o that_o which_o m._n perkins_n report_v say_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n but_o afterward_o it_o be_v

apostle_n they_o neglect_v it_o until_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o these_o church_n be_v the_o primitive_a church_n for_o they_o live_v immediate_o after_o the_o apostle_n &_o they_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o be_v gatherable_a by_o this_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o the_o first_o emperor_n that_o establish_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v constantine_n the_o great_a as_o say_v hosp_n cap._n 9_o pag._n 27._o &_o this_o

they_o all_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n unless_o we_o shall_v uncharitable_o censure_v they_o to_o have_v live_v profanly_a without_o any_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o while_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v many_o church_n keep_v both_o sabbath_n together_o to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o now_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o some_o of_o the_o primitive_a church_n shall_v be_v so_o zealouse_a as_o to_o keep_v two_o day_n &_o other_o some_o so_o key_n can_v as_o to_o keep_v none_o at_o at_o all_o wherefore_o since_o these_o church_n keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n so_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o after_o christ_n

these_o duty_n but_o only_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n therefore_o if_o you_o take_v any_o other_o day_n it_o must_v be_v a_o day_n of_o man_n appointment_n now_o let_v all_o man_n judge_v

what_o thin_a assembly_n what_o cold_a devotion_n then_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o
be_v suppose_v of_o divine_a institution_n so_o necessary_a than_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n as_o without_o it_o religion_n &_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v of_o a_o continual_a consumption_n now_o since_o there_o be_v no_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n but_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o prevent_v the_o decay_n of_o religion_n &_o to_o support_v &_o further_a god_n worship_n &_o service_n thus_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o labour_n on_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v moral_a &_o perpetual_a because_o we_o find_v it_o tend_v unto_o the_o furtherance_n of_o god_n worship_n &_o because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o man_n &_o beast_n yea_o in_o a_o sort_n necessary_a also_o &_o thus_o much_o of_o this_o argument_n argum_fw-la xxiiii_o because_o many_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o law_n &_o light_n of_o nature_n hold_v that_o only_a to_o be_v moral_a in_o the_o decalogue_n which_o be_v ratify_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o such_o therefore_o i_o frame_v this_o argument_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o duty_n which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o

for_o he_o that_o duty_n be_v moral_a concern_v our_o practice_n &_o be_v perpetual_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o the_o observation_n of_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n &_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o be_v make_v know_v to_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n he_o can_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o reason_n oppose_v it_o but_o must_v allow_v it_o

then_o make_v know_v unto_o a_o natural_a man_n hereto_o i_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v not_o material_a whither_o the_o duty_n be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o after_o

of_o nature_n allow_v and_o approve_v be_v teach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o observe_v those_o which_o be_v never_o teach_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o find_n of_o they_o nor_o the_o manner_n

ourselves_o to_o be_v unnatural_a &_o to_o put_v out_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o &_o to_o go_v against_o conscience_n for_o we_o will_v refuse_v to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o allow_v of_o and_o subscribe_v unto_o as_o good_a to_o be_v do_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o minor_n in_o the_o minor_a i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o prove_v any_o thing_n but_o this_o to_o wit_n that_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n can_v oppose_v god_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o must_v allow_v of_o it_o as_o good_a to_o be_v observe_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o

the_o next_o six_o day_n and_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v of_o god_n choice_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n then_o of_o man_n

etc._n hereunto_o i_o answer_v the_o lord_n teld_v his_o people_n from_o mount_n sinai_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n exod._n 20.10_o again_o after_o that_o he_o teld_v they_o in_o levit._n 23.3_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v
to_o rest_v in_o or_o for_o man_n if_o not_o for_o both_o i_o rather_o think_v for_o man_n for_o as_o for_o god_n he_o rest_v no_o more_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o on_o the_o 8_o 9th_o and_o

yet_o more_o plain_o that_o god_n sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o man_n use_n it_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o where_o the_o lord_n use_v a_o reason_n to_o

from_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n genes_n 2.3_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v you_o shall_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o i_o bless_v it_o and_o sanctify_v it_o at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o self_n same_o end_n hereby_o than_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v sanctify_v with_o reference_n unto_o

god_n make_v the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n he_o make_v it_o for_o man_n thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n hereunto_o some_o answer_n that_o the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v exemplary_a indeed_o but_o not_o obligatory_a until_o the_o four_o come_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o distinction_n shall_v thus_o appear_v 1._o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o four_o come_v do_v not_o bind_v until_o it_o be_v deliver_v on_o mount_n sinai_n then_o do_v none_o of_o the_o other_o nine_o

be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n 2._o it_o be_v most_o strange_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v a_o example_n more_o than_o 2000_o year_n before_o any_o shall_v follow_v it_o for_o wherefore_o be_v example_n but_o for_o to_o be_v imitate_v 3._o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n mark_n 2.27_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o it_o be_v make_v at_o the_o creation_n for_o a_o example_n useless_a but_o for_o man_n use_n as_o to_o rest_v in_o it_o etc._n etc._n 4._o can_v any_o man_n think_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n at_o the_o creation_n and_o then_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v profane_v and_o pollute_v for_o 2000_o year_n after_o until_o the_o isralite_n come_v into_o the_o

of_o never_o 2000_o year_n after_o and_o not_o for_o the_o patriarch_n also_o who_o live_v before_o the_o flood_n or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o flood_n have_v sacrifice_n and_o no_o sabbath_n that_o they_o have_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o no_o time_n allot_v for_o it_o or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n from_o the_o creation_n have_v no_o day_n set_v apart_o for_o a_o thankful_a &_o holy_a remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n until_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n ii_o my_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o the_o four_o come_v must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o nine_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n for_o the_o decalogue_n be_v hold_v of_o all_o to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o world_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v for_o else_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v not_o link_v together_o as_o a_o chain_n of_o many_o link_n for_o one_o link_n to_o wit_n the_o four_o in_o midst_n of_o the_o chain_n shall_v be_v want_v contrary_a unto_o jam._n 2.10_o &_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o divine_n 2._o if_o the_o four_o con_v be_v not_o as_o ancient_a as_o the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o it_o must_v be_v absurd_o suppose_v that_o the_o decalogue_n have_v not_o always_o 10_o commandment_n in_o it_o as_o it_o have_v deut._n 10.4_o if_o then_o the_o four_o come_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o the_o sabbath_n therein_o command_v must_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v for_o antiquity_n from_o the_o creation_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n until_o the_o law_n be_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o or_o at_o soon_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n exo_n 16.1.23_o well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v not_o soon_o mention_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o soon_o in_o use_n the_o law_n against_o murder_n it_o be_v not_o mention_v at_o the_o soon_o until_o after_o the_o murder_n of_o abel_n genes_n 4.15_o but_o will_v it_o thereof_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n against_o murder_n before_o kaine_n kill_v habel_n we_o know_v many_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o be_v not_o record_v for_o else_o the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n joh._n 21.25_o on_o the_o contrary_a for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v in_o use_n exo._n 16.23_o before_o the_o four_o come_v be_v give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n ex._n 20.1.8_o it_o be_v therefore_o the_o most_o lik_o that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o creation_n for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o its_o first_o original_n at_o mount_n sinai_n when_o can_v it_o be_v think_v to_o have_v its_o begin_n but_o at_o the_o creation_n together_o with_o the_o other_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n iii_o my_o three_o reason_n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o we_o find_v not_o the_o spiritual_a work_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n particular_o express_v in_o the_o four_o come_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o nor_o yet_o in_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o same_o law_n before_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n exo._n 16._o which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o to_o sanctify_v it_o be_v well_o know_v unto_o the_o jew_n before_o either_o of_o these_o law_n be_v write_v exod._n 20._o or_o exod._n 16.5.23.28_o otherwise_o god_n himself_o will_v in_o some_o of_o these_o text_n have_v express_v particular_o unto_o they_o after_o what_o manner_n and_o where_o withal_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v this_o day_n the_o same_o be_v also_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o four_o come_v remember_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o signify_v that_o they_o know_v before_o and_o can_v cale_fw-la it_o to_o mind_n again_o how_o to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o touch_v this_o point_n the_o lord_n need_v not_o say_v any_o more_o unto_o they_o but_o remember_v it_o etc._n etc._n i_o have_v often_o marvel_v in_o myself_o why_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o punctual_o &_o express_o to_o mention_v the_o corporal_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o rest_v from_o bodily_a labour_n and_o be_v so_o silent_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v exod._n 20._o or_o exo._n 16._o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n long_o before_o in_o the_o church_n &_o in_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o man_n before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v the_o other_o morales_n in_o the_o decalogue_n so_o as_o they_o know_v how_o to_o sanctify_v the_o day_n and_o with_o what_o duty_n i_o confess_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n use_v the_o word_n sanctify_v in_o the_o four_o come_v which_o do_v in_o general_n imply_v the_o particular_a mean_n and_o way_n of_o sanctify_v the_o day_n but_o it_o do_v not_o
have_v do_v nevertheless_o because_o he_o be_v but_o weak_a in_o his_o kingdom_n &_o joab_n strong_a it_o may_v have_v make_v a_o commotion_n in_o his_o kingdom_n &_o much_o hurly_n burly_n &_o blood_n shed_v &_o hazard_v of_o his_o crown_n now_o in_o this_o exegency_n &_o extremity_n david_n do_v neglect_v to_o do_v for_o a_o season_n what_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v have_v do_v &_o will_v have_v do_v most_o glad_o but_o that_o the_o time_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v a_o dispensation_n in_o two_o example_n a_o three_o instance_n shall_v be_v that_o of_o the_o omission_n of_o circumcision_n you_o know_v it_o be_v a_o law_n that_o every_o man_n child_n of_o 8_o day_n old_a shall_v be_v circumcise_v genes_n 17.12_o now_o though_o the_o israelite_n know_v this_o yet_o they_o circumcise_a not_o their_o child_n for_o 40._o year_n together_o even_o all_o the_o time_n they_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n as_o you_o may_v read_v josh_fw-mi 5.5_o so_o here_o again_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n a_o four_o instance_n shall_v be_v that_o of_o david_n eat_v the_o shewbread_n david_n know_v that_o the_o shewbread_n be_v to_o be_v eat_v by_o the_o priest_n only_o nevertheless_o david_n in_o a_o case_n of_o present_a hunger_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n &_o christ_n do_v justify_v he_o in_o it_o mat._n 12.3.4_o so_o here_o again_o be_v a_o dispensation_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n a_o five_o example_n shall_v be_v that_o of_o the_o disciple_n pluck_v and_o rub_v ear_n of_o corn_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n nevertheless_o in_o a_o case_n of_o present_a necessity_n they_o do_v pluck_v and_o also_o rub_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n which_o be_v else_o unlawful_a to_o be_v do_v and_o christ_n iustisy_v it_o so_o here_o again_o you_o see_v a_o dispensation_n in_o some_o case_n by_o all_o which_o instance_n it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a that_o exceptiones_fw-la and_o dispensationes_fw-la from_o something_o command_v may_v be_v in_o some_o case_n these_o instance_n do_v put_v a_o answer_n into_o our_o mouth_n against_o they_o who_o cry_v out_o say_v since_o you_o know_v it_o &_o be_v persuade_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n why_o keep_v you_o it_o not_o &_o c_o i_o answer_v david_n know_v it_o to_o be_v his_o office_n to_o slay_v the_o murderer_n and_o david_n know_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v shewbread_n now_o tell_v i_o why_o david_n &_o the_o rest_n do_v not_o do_v what_o they_o know_v and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o former_a question_n and_o now_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o latter_a sect_n iii_o in_o this_o section_n i_o shall_v come_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n &_o here_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n such_o as_o know_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v still_o in_o force_n may_v neglect_v it_o for_o a_o season_n until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n so_o be_v they_o give_v god_n for_o it_o a_o other_o day_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o by_o two_o argument_n the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n because_o it_o may_v be_v neglect_v or_o profane_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o argum_fw-la j._n that_o which_o may_v be_v neglect_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n that_o may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v neglect_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n by_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n i_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o that_o we_o give_v god_n the_o sunday_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o saturday_n for_o a_o season_n the_o 8_o day_n for_o the_o seven_o or_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n with_o our_o church_n for_o a_o season_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n like_a as_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v prorogue_v his_o coronation_n

the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n but_o i_o may_v spare_v labour_n it_o be_v clear_a enough_o of_o itself_o none_o i_o think_v will_v deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o less_o evil_a or_o loss_n to_o god_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v to_o change_v a_o day_n with_o he_o then_o to_o take_v a_o day_n from_o he_o or_o neglect_v a_o day_n like_v as_o it_o be_v a_o less_o loss_n to_o a_o man_n to_o

come_v to_o it_o by_o &_o by_o 2._o i_o answer_v be_v it_o that_o because_o the_o one_o be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o the_o other_o a_o moral_a that_o therefore_o god_n have_v less_o regard_n unto_o the_o ceremony_n than_o he_o have_v unto_o the_o moral_a yet_o this_o make_v but_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o of_o less_o &_o more_o the_o one_o being_n less_o regard_v the_o other_o more_o regard_v now_o this_o difference_n hinder_v not_o the_o argument_n magis_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la non_fw-la variat_fw-la speciem_fw-la as_o logiceans_n speak_v a_o piece_n of_o silver_n of_o nine_o penny_n be_v

if_o the_o necessity_n for_o the_o great_a change_n do_v exceed_v the_o necessity_n for_o the_o lesser_a change_n &_o this_o be_v our_o case_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a passeover_n day_n which_o be_v the_o lesser_a may_v be_v upon_o this_o one_o necessity_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o far_a journey_n but_o our_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o great_a

proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o prove_v the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o passover_o day_n may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o see_v numb_a 9.5_o where_o the_o isralite_n keep_v the_o passover_o in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n according_a to_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o god_n at_o its_o first_o institution_n as_o you_o may_v see_v v._o 1,2_o and_o levit._n 23.5_o and_o exod._n 12.2.6_o now_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o some_o man_n in_o the_o congregation_n be_v defile_v by_o touch_v of_o a_o dead_a corpse_n and_o so_o they_o be_v debar_v from_o keep_v the_o passover_o at_o that_o time_n with_o the_o congregation_n hereupon_o they_o come_v before_o moses_n &_o aaron_n for_o counsel_n &_o moses_n not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n he_o repair_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n

14_o day_n of_o second_o month_n etc._n etc._n numb_a 9.6.7.8.9.10.11_o so_o hereby_o you_o see_v that_o howbeit_o the_o passover_o be_v by_o its_o prime_a institution_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n yet_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o time_n be_v change_v from_o the_o first_o month_n unto_o the_o second_o month_n and_o so_o the_o day_n and_o time_n

nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n
