less_o bind_v this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n than_o be_v the_o israelite_n in_o time_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o 3_o because_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o which_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o declaration_n make_v by_o moses_n again_o because_o this_o sanctification_n be_v forthwith_o after_o the_o creation_n and_o therefore_o as_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n so_o must_v all_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n after_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n and_o upon_o which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o gentile_n then_o or_o christian_n now_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v it_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o ensample_n this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o offer_v up_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o do_v both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o deluge_n the_o second_o objection_n god_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o add_v 17_o for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v therefore_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o word_n ever_o be_v not_o take_v there_o simpliciter_fw-la but_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v it_o that_o be_v not_o for_o eternity_n or_o for_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o life_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n from_o moses_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v 1495._o year_n i_o

and_o meditation_n of_o god_n work_n be_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v still_o abide_v in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a

day_n thus_o my_o answer_n be_v confirm_v because_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o keep_v be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o the_o eight_o for_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o

persevere_v therein_o to_o the_o end_n the_o young_a widow_n wax_v wanton_a against_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o break_v their_o last_o promise_n forsake_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n but_o their_o first_o and_o most_o holy_a promise_n make_v in_o baptism_n while_o they_o depart_v from_o the_o purity_n of_o honest_a life_n and_o religion_n consecrate_v themselves_o to_o paganism_n and_o

their_o promise_n &_o christ_n too_o and_o become_v heathen_n run_v after_o satan_n for_o this_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o 15._o verse_n of_o the_o 5._o chapter_n from_o whence_o the_o objection_n be_v take_v where_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o some_o widow_n be_v already_o turn_v back_o from_o christ_n their_o guide_n to_o who_o they_o have_v dedicate_v themselves_o in_o

thought_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n for_o so_o teach_v his_o apostle_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o wantonness_n of_o the_o young_a widow_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n 31_o these_o point_n observe_v i_o conclude_v that_o the_o young_a widow_n have_v damnation_n not_o for_o marry_v but_o for_o be_v wanton_a before_o their_o marriage_n for_o in_o be_v wanton_a against_o

they_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n and_o so_o they_o have_v damnation_n because_o they_o be_v wanton_a against_o christ._n s._n paul_n say_v not_o that_o they_o have_v damnation_n because_o they_o marry_v which_o must_v be_v well_o mark_v but_o because_o they_o make_v void_v their_o first_o faith_n in_o break_v god_n commandment_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v i_o say_v sixth_o that_o saint_n paul_n be_v so_o far_o from_o condemn_v marriage_n in_o the_o young_a widow_n after_o their_o promise_n or_o vow_v which_o the_o papist_n will_v most_o willing_o father_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o marry_v even_o after_o such_o their_o promise_n or_o vow_n i_o prove_v it_o note_v well_o what_o i_o say_v because_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v will_v the_o young_a widow_n to_o marry_v in_o the_o 14._o verse_n forthwith_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n he_o yield_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o his_o advice_n to_o wit_n because_o certain_a be_v already_o turn_v back_o after_o satan_n now_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n he_o must_v needs_o speak_v of_o such_o widow_n as_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n because_o none_o can_v be_v turn_v back_o from_o that_o to_o which_o they_o never_o be_v admit_v he_o therefore_o speak_v likewise_o of_o the_o betroth_a widow_n in_o the_o next_o verse_n before_o which_o i_o make_v evident_a three_o way_n first_o because_o otherwise_o his_o illation_n in_o the_o 15._o verse_n shall_v be_v foolish_a &_o frivolous_a foolish_a because_o it_o can_v have_v no_o connexion_n with_o the_o 14._o verse_n frivolous_a for_o that_o it_o can_v not_o conclude_v his_o purpose_n second_o because_o he_o have_v already_o in_o the_o 11._o verse_n charge_v the_o bishop_n timothy_n not_o to_o receive_v any_o widow_n under_o the_o age_n of_o 60._o year_n this_o conclusion_n therefore_o be_v make_v touch_v the_o widow_n not_o yet_o admit_v he_o go_v forward_a and_o give_v his_o advice_n for_o the_o young_a widow_n than_o receive_v of_o the_o church_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v for_o as_o much_o as_o some_o of_o the_o young_a sort_n have_v already_o be_v wanton_a and_o follow_v sathan_n and_o there_o be_v also_o danger_n in_o the_o rest_n i_o decree_v that_o hereafter_o none_o under_o 60._o year_n be_v receive_v and_o i_o exhort_v the_o young_a already_o receive_v and_o desirous_a to_o marry_v to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o holy_a wedlock_n to_o bring_v forth_o child_n to_o be_v housewife_n and_o so_o to_o give_v no_o occasion_n to_o the_o adversary_n to_o speak_v evil_a three_o because_o otherwise_o saint_n paul_n

thus_o much_o of_o this_o objection_n in_o special_a and_o of_o the_o marriage_n of_o bishop_n priest_n deacons_n and_o religious_a person_n in_o general_a as_o also_o of_o the_o first_o prohibition_n against_o the_o same_o it_o now_o remain_v for_o the_o complement_n of_o this_o discourse_n that_o i_o solve_v certain_a objection_n make_v general_o against_o this_o doctrine_n for_o which_o be_v
