zeal_n for_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o show_v great_a concern_n than_o he_o do_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o sabbath_n but_o the_o case_n betwixt_o these_o be_v very_o different_a for_o the_o jew_n who_o at_o this_o time_n so_o profane_o neglect_v the_o temple_n be_v no_o less_o superstitious_o nice_a in_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o though_o a_o whip_n be_v fit_a to_o scourge_v their_o profaneness_n a_o bridle_n be_v most_o proper_a to_o restrain_v their_o superstition_n wherefore_o we_o may_v observe_v he_o hold_v the_o reins_o in_o here_o upon_o every_o occasion_n he_o be_v far_o from_o encourage_v any_o in_o a_o loose_a regard_n towards_o this_o day_n for_o he_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o day_n dedicate_v to_o god_n service_n and_o we_o find_v he_o therefore_o preach_v continual_o upon_o it_o in_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n 6.2_o mark_v 6.2_o to_o show_v that_o one_o principal_a duty_n of_o the_o day_n be_v to_o attend_v the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o liberty_n he_o plead_v direct_o for_o on_o this_o day_n be_v only_o for_o work_n of_o necessity_n and_o mercy_n it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o these_o alone_o he_o tell_v

spend_v this_o day_n upon_o recreation_n or_o secular_a business_n as_o sure_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a since_o god_n have_v give_v we_o six_o day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o our_o body_n if_o the_o seven_o shall_v not_o be_v allow_v by_o we_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n though_o neither_o be_v christ_n for_o tie_v man_n up_o upon_o this_o day_n to_o that_o strictness_n which_o be_v enjoin_v by_o moses_n as_o a_o clog_n and_o punishment_n to_o the_o jew_n he_o himself_o be_v a_o jew_n and_o as_o a_o jew_n therefore_o no_o question_n he_o observe_v this_o day_n in_o all_o respect_v answerable_a to_o the_o intent_n of_o moses_n though_o not_o to_o the_o pharisee_n superstitious_a gloss_n upon_o it_o but_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n which_o

of_o any_o legal_a observance_n in_o rest_v from_o culinary_a affair_n or_o the_o like_a which_o he_o tie_v himself_o or_o his_o disciple_n up_o to_o on_o this_o day_n rather_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o his_o discourse_n about_o this_o day_n be_v more_o to_o take_v off_o from_o than_o advance_v any_o scrupulous_a rest_n upon_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a argument_n of_o his_o design_n to_o set_v up_o that_o more_o rational_a sabbath_n which_o the_o primitive_a christian_n afterward_o observe_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o the_o sabbath_n be_v reckon_v not_o so_o much_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n as_o a_o day_n of_o good_a work_n and_o instead_o of_o sit_v still_o upon_o it_o as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v with_o freeze_a heart_n and_o sullen_a deject_a look_n christian_n think_v nothing_o so_o proper_a next_o to_o god_n worship_n as_o to_o express_v their_o joy_n upon_o it_o in_o make_v comfortable_a provision_n for_o themselves_o and_o for_o the_o poor_a we_o know_v what_o hard_a word_n the_o father_n give_v such_o person_n who_o choose_v to_o fast_o upon_o this_o day_n 7._o fast_v i_o think_v may_v well_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o head_n of_o ceremonial_a duty_n and_o this_o be_v

indeed_o he_o be_v against_o the_o pharisee_n fast_n not_o only_o as_o they_o have_v a_o hypocritical_a air_n of_o pride_n and_o vainglory_n in_o they_o but_o as_o they_o be_v reckon_v by_o they_o a_o

of_o this_o duty_n before_o god_n their_o fast_n be_v both_o carry_v on_o with_o great_a strictness_n and_o be_v much_o more_o frequent_a than_o other_o people_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v much_o

they_o fast_v not_o at_o all_o it_o may_v seem_v he_o be_v not_o for_o make_v this_o duty_n too_o common_a but_o for_o use_v it_o only_o as_o occasion_v require_v when_o such_o duty_n be_v practise_v of_o course_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o lose_v their_o virtue_n soon_o like_a physic_n to_o which_o man_n body_n be_v accustom_v it_o be_v the_o apply_v they_o upon_o great_a and_o special_a occasion_n chief_o that_o make_v they_o have_v due_a operation_n upon_o man_n mind_n and_o though_o our_o saviour_n therefore_o tell_v we_o that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v practice_v this_o duty_n often_o when_o he_o be_v go_v 2.20_o mark_v 2.20_o this_o imply_v not_o that_o it_o shall_v always_o be_v so_o but_o only_o whilst_o the_o day_n of_o mourn_v as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o bridegroom_n departure_n do_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n require_v it_o and_o much_o less_o do_v our_o saviour_n commend_v the_o pharisee_n rigid_a observance_n of_o this_o duty_n pale_a look_n and_o droop_a head_n be_v thing_n perhaps_o that_o man_n may_v admire_v people_n for_o but_o god_n delight_v not_o in_o even_o in_o this_o most_o mortify_a act_n of_o religion_n 6.17_o mat._n 6.17_o christ_n be_v for_o

to_o expect_v to_o find_v our_o saviour_n exercise_v his_o body_n after_o this_o manner_n for_o sin_n he_o never_o commit_v though_o as_o it_o be_v reckon_v a-work_o of_o superabundant_a merit_n as_o well_o as_o of_o satisfaction_n by_o the_o pharisee_n it_o may_v seem_v as_o proper_a for_o he_o as_o any_o body_n else_o but_o then_o certain_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a among_o so_o many_o
