to_o have_v a_o real_a but_o a_o fantastic_a body_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n notwithstanding_o the_o denial_n of_o his_o learned_a man_n do_v yet_o maintain_v the_o

and_o when_o he_o be_v make_v flesh_n do_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v the_o word_n than_o there_o must_v be_v in_o he_o two_o nature_n unite_v which_o be_v the_o incarnation_n his_o 3_o d_o instance_n be_v as_o he_o say_v in_o order_n to_o practice_n and_o the_o query_n upon_o it_o be_v address_n then_o in_o order_n to_o practice_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o keep_v holy_a the_o lord's-day_n that_o be_v sunday_n and_o not_o saturday_n if_o it_o be_v i_o desire_v to_o know_v in_o what_o chapter_n and_o verse_n it_o be_v clear_o contain_v in_o scripture_n as_o also_o where_o the_o abrogation_n of_o the_o saturday_n be_v clear_o express_v if_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n to_o keep_v holy_a the_o lord's-day_n i_o desire_v your_o warrant_n for_o it_o in_o these_o or_o the_o like_a term_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o keep_v holy_a the_o lord's-day_n that_o be_v sunday_n answer_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o obligation_n to_o observe_v the_o lord's-day_n be_v more_o or_o less_o necessary_a or_o unnecessary_a according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o for_o such_o as_o the_o institution_n be_v such_o be_v the_o obligation_n if_o it_o be_v of_o mere_a humane_a and_o ecclesiastical_a institution_n it_o may_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n be_v alter_v as_o it_o be_v establish_v if_o of_o divine_a institution_n it_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o humane_a arbitration_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n we_o must_v have_v it_o by_o the_o revelation_n in_o scripture_n or_o else_o it_o can_v be_v divine_a and_o that_o it_o be_v establish_v upon_o such_o authority_n i_o shall_v offer_v these_o consideration_n 1._o there_o be_v as_o much_o in_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o this_o peculiar_a day_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o patriarchal_a and_o jewish_a church_n for_o what_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n be_v to_o man_n upon_o his_o creation_n and_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n be_v to_o the_o jew_n upon_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n deut._n 5.15_o that_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o t●●_n week_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o christian_n upon_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n which_o be_v accomplish_v and_o testify_v in_o his_o resurrection_n on_o that_o day_n 2._o there_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o divine_a institution_n set_v upon_o it_o when_o that_o which_o be_v otherwise_o call_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v afterward_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n rev._n 1.10_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n after_o that_o time_n place_n thing_n and_o person_n be_v set_v apart_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n by_o divine_a institution_n to_o have_v his_o name_n as_o a_o mark_n of_o propriety_n give_v to_o they_o thus_o we_o read_v of_o the_o lord_n be_v passover_n exod._n 12.11_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n exod._n 20.10_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n s●pper_n 1_o cor._n 11.20_o now_o i_o know_v not_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v that_o when_o the_o thing_n thus_o dignify_v by_o this_o title_n be_v elsewhere_o of_o divine_a institution_n and_o so_o name_v because_o of_o that_o institution_n that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o not_o be_v of_o divine_a but_o humane_a institution_n 3._o we_o may_v observe_v further_o that_o as_o the_o new_a world_n of_o redemption_n begin_v upon_o that_o day_n so_o upon_o the_o same_o day_n do_v christ_n solemn_o consecrate_v the_o christian_a

verse_n where_o the_o abrogation_n of_o circumcision_n be_v clear_o express_v and_o when_o he_o can_v find_v out_o chapter_n and_o verse_n for_o the_o one_o i_o will_v undertake_v to_o show_v he_o chapter_n and_o verse_n for_o the_o other_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o express_a abrogation_n of_o either_o for_o baptism_n be_v institute_v by_o christ_n as_o a_o mean_n of_o

lord_n day_n be_v set_v apart_o for_o the_o public_a and_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v before_o appoint_v for_o it_o must_v in_o reason_n surrender_v to_o it_o so_o the_o apostle_n col._n 2.16_o 17._o let_v no_o man_n judge_v you_o in_o meat_n or_o drink_v or_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o holiday_n or_o of_o new-moon_n or_o of_o th●_n

and_o drink_n holiday_n and_o new-moon_n be_v with_o those_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n to_o cease_v by_o the_o come_n of_o christ._n now_o as_o the_o institution_n of_o baptism_n abrogate_a circumcision_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n abrogate_a the_o sabbath_n so_o we_o may_v certain_o infer_v that_o if_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o shadow_n and_o abrogate_a as_o such_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o assert_n that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o day_n institute_v in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o these_o thing_n mutual_o infer_v each_o other_o and_o what_o that_o day_n be_v i_o may_v leave_v to_o our_o author_n guess_n without_o again_o go_v to_o chapter_n and_o verse_n address_n if_o you_o say_v that_o everyone_o be_v only_o bind_v to_o believe_v what_o be_v clear_a to_o he_o in_o scripture_n

the_o trinity_n or_o incarnation_n will_v it_o not_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o my_o soul_n to_o believe_v these_o two_o mystery_n answer_n i_o answer_v 1._o sincerity_n and_o

2._o no_o man_n can_v believe_v but_o according_a to_o the_o motive_n of_o credibility_n and_o the_o reason_n he_o have_v for_o his_o faith._n a_o obligation_n lie_v upon_o all_o to_o believe_v all_o
