first_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o feast_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n meaning_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v pray_v that_o their_o flight_n may_v not_o be_v on_o any_o of_o the_o jewish_a

second_o commandment_n and_o the_o four_o commandment_n have_v reason_n press_v obedience_n annex_v to_o they_o which_o none_o of_o the_o other_o have_v at_o least_o express_o set_v down_o by_o the_o lord_n answ_n this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n because_o all_o the_o other_o commandment_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n determine_v in_o man_n conscience_n and_o the_o sin_n against_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n light_n see_v to_o be_v evil_a but_o the_o substance_n of_o these_o two_o to_o wit_n what_o way_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o external_o and_o on_o what_o day_n as_o the_o solemn_a

therefore_o the_o lord_n add_v reason_n to_o each_o of_o these_o to_o persuade_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o as_o to_o the_o second_o i_o be_o a_o jealous_a god_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o

it_o and_o other_o day_n though_o before_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v further_o amplify_v in_o the_o text_n now_o by_o this_o reason_n which_o be_v also_o give_v by_o the_o schoolman_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o second_o commandment_n concern_v outward_a worship_n according_a to_o our_o way_n of_o distinguish_v they_o i●_n distinct_a from_o the_o first_o which_o require_v the_o inward_a worship_n due_a to_o god_n for_o the_o first_o commandment_n be_v moral-natural_a and_o can_v never_o be_v alter_v and_o have_v as_o much_o impression_n on_o a_o natural_a conscience_n as_o any_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o ground_n need_v no_o reason_n three_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v also_o that_o some_o commandment_n have_v promise_n add_v to_o they_o which_o other_o have_v not_o not_o that_o any_o commandment_n want_v imply_v encouragement_n but_o in_o some_o they_o be_v express_v as_o in_o the_o second_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o thousand_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o five_o that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o etc._n etc._n the_o reason_n give_v why_o promise_n be_v particular_o express_v in_o these_o two_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o these_o two_o seem_v to_o bring_v most_o hurt_v to_o man_n and_o be_v most_o contrary_a to_o their_o corrupt_a will_n and_o affection_n it_o seem_v not_o so_o prejucidial_a nor_o be_v it_o so_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n that_o man_n love_v god_n and_o fear_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v outward_o to_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n and_o that_o by_o adhere_v close_o to_o the_o true_a manner_n of_o worship_v he_o this_o make_v man_n obnoxious_a to_o persecution_n cross_n loss_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v serious_o take_v up_o in_o the_o external_o of_o godliness_n sometime_o bring_v much_o prejudice_n with_o it_o and_o be_v to_o many_o troublesome_a and_o so_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o superior_n and_o tender_a of_o inferiors_n be_v not_o easy_o condescend_v unto_o therefore_o god_n to_o counterbalance_v the_o difficulty_n that_o accompany_v the_o obedience_n of_o these_o two_o commandment_n have_v add_v promise_n to_o they_o the_o more_o to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o the_o four_o thing_n we_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o some_o commandment_n have_v threaten_n express_v in_o they_o which_o other_o have_v not_o as_o the_o second_o and_o the_o three_o not_o that_o any_o commandment_n want_v imply_v threaten_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o man_n ordinary_o count_v light_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o these_o two_o commandment_n if_o they_o be_v as_o they_o think_v honest_a at_o the_o heart_n though_o they_o be_v very_o negligent_a and_o careless_a in_o many_o outward_a

he_o shall_v have_v answerable_a and_o peculiar_a acknowledgement_n from_o they_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o appointment_n of_o family_n be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o

the_o family_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o before_o the_o law_n the_o patriarch_n have_v their_o worship_n special_o in_o their_o family_n yea_o heathen_n beside_o their_o public_a idolatrous_a worship_n and_o idolatrous_a temple_n have_v their_o peculiar_a penates_n or_o household-god_n on_o who_o for_o their_o particular_a family_n delivery_n from_o enemy_n and_o protection_n they_o depend_v 2._o a_o second_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o christian_a communion_n among_o believer_n which_o as_o it_o require_v the_o perform_n of_o christian_a duty_n according_a as_o we_o be_v in_o

of_o that_o communion_n because_o there_o be_v a_o special_a access_n minister_v by_o such_o a_o relation_n to_o the_o attain_n of_o that_o end_n hence_o it_o be_v we_o conceive_v as_o be_v say_v that_o some_o christian_a family_n be_v call_v church_n because_o so_o many_o christian_n casten_z together_o live_v in_o a_o christian_a discharge_n of_o all_o family-ordinance_n so_o to_o speak_v 3._o the_o lord_n by_o his_o covenant_n do_v especial_o though_o not_o always_o derive_v mercy_n to_o family_n take_v they_o in_o together_o and_o make_v promise_n to_o they_o and_o confer_v

to_o they_o that_o they_o worship_n god_n together_o and_o join_v in_o blessing_n he_o for_o such_o mercy_n and_o in_o prayer_n to_o he_o for_o grace_n to_o carry_v suitable_o to_o they_o 4._o the_o mutual_a interest_n that_o usual_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o member_n of_o the_o same_o family_n call_v for_o joynt-seeking_a of_o god_n and_o worship_v of_o he_o as_o they_o be_v joint_o

all_o therefore_o ought_v they_o to_o join_v in_o confess_v of_o sin_n acknowledge_v mercy_n deprecate_v danger_n and_o stroke_n and_o discharge_v of_o duty_n 5._o private_a worship_n be_v

where_o it_o be_v not_o and_o that_o the_o child_n and_o servant_n of_o such_o family_n ready_o profit_v most_o be_v most_o countenance_v by_o god_n blessing_n and_o be_v in_o great_a capacity_n to_o
