cogent_n argument_n to_o obey_v this_o command_n of_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n 1._o from_o the_o rationality_n of_o it_o six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v i_o be_o not_o a_o hard_a master_n i_o do_v not_o grutch_v thou_o time_n to_o look_v after_o thy_o call_v and_o to_o get_v a_o estate_n i_o have_v give_v thou_o six_o day_n six_o to_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n in_o and_o have_v take_v but_o one_o day_n for_o myself_o i_o may_v have_v reserve_v six_o day_n for_o myself_o and_o allow_v thou_o but_o one_o but_o i_o have_v give_v thou_o six_o day_n for_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o call_v and_o have_v take_v but_o one_o day_n for_o my_o own_o service_n therefore_o it_o be_v equal_a and_o rational_a that_o thou_o shall_v set_v this_o day_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n apart_o for_o my_o worship_n 2._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o 2_o lie_n the_o justice_n of_o it_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v the_o sabbath-day_n be_v my_o due_a i_o challenge_v a_o special_a right_n in_o it_o and_o none_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v to_o lay_v claim_n to_o it_o he_o who_o rob_v i_o of_o this_o day_n and_o put_v it_o to_o common_a uses_n be_v a_o sacrilegious_a person_n he_o steal_v from_o the_o crown_n of_o heaven_n and_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a hold_v he_o guiltless_a 3._o the_o three_o argument_n for_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n be_v take_v from_o god_n own_o pattern_n he_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v say_v will_v not_o you_o follow_v my_o pattern_n have_v finish_v all_o my_o work_n of_o creation_n i_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o you_o have_v do_v all_o your_o secular_a work_n on_o the_o six_o day_n you_o shall_v now_o cease_v from_o the_o labour_n of_o your_o call_v and_o dedicate_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest._n 4._o the_o four_o argument_n for_o sabbath-sanctification_a be_v take_v ab_fw-la vtili_fw-la from_o the_o benefit_n which_o redound_v from_o a_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o lord_n bless_v the_o seventh-day_n and_o hallow_v it_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o day_n of_o god_n benediction_n god_n do_v not_o only_o appoint_v the_o seventh-day_n but_o he_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n the_o sabbath-day_n be_v not_o only_o a_o day_n of_o honour_n to_o god_n but_o a_o day_n of_o blessing_n to_o we_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o day_n wherein_o we_o give_v god_n worship_n but_o a_o day_n wherein_o he_o give_v we_o grace_n on_o this_o day_n a_o blessing_n drop_v down_o from_o heaven_n this_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n for_o the_o keep_v the_o sabbath-day_n holy_a god_n be_v not_o benefit_v by_o it_o we_o can_v add_v one_o cubit_n to_o his_o essential_a glory_n but_o we_o ourselves_o be_v advantage_v the_o sabbath-day_n religious_o observe_v entail_v a_o blessing_n upon_o our_o soul_n our_o estate_n our_o posterity_n as_o the_o not_o keep_v this_o day_n holy_a bring_v a_o curse_n jer._n 17.27_o god_n curse_v a_o man_n blessing_n mal._n 2.2_o the_o bread_n which_o he_o eat_v be_v poison_v with_o a_o curse_n so_o the_o conscientious_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n bring_v all_o manner_n of_o blessing_n with_o it_o these_o be_v the_o argument_n to_o induce_v sabbath-sanctification_a and_o so_o i_o have_v divide_v the_o commandment_n into_o its_o several_a part_n and_o explain_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o the_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v you_o observe_v be_v that_o this_o commandment_n about_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o abrogate_a with_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o it_o be_v pure_o moral_a and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n where_o can_v we_o show_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o discharge_v from_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o so_o that_o i_o say_v this_o four_o commandment_n be_v moral_a and_o oblige_v christian_n to_o the_o perpetual_a commemoration_n and_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n quest._n why_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o sabbath_n ans._n 1._o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v reserve_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o for_o his_o own_o immediate_a service_n that_o hereby_o he_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o great_a plenipotentiary_n or_o sovereign_a lord_n who_o have_v power_n over_o we_o both_o to_o command_v worship_n and_o appoint_v the_o time_n when_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v 2._o in_o
