to_o call_v the_o day_n of_o our_o christian_a weekly-rest_n whether_o the_o sabbath_n the_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o prayer_n appoint_v to_o be_v use_v

sabbath_n i_o thus_o conceive_v 1._o that_o in_o scripture_n antiquity_n and_o all_o ecclesiastical_a writer_n it_o be_v constant_o appropriate_v to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n or_o saturday_n and_o not_o at_o all_o till_o of_o late_a year_n use_v to_o signify_v our_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n 2._o that_o to_o call_v sunday_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o sabboth-day_n rebus_fw-la sic_fw-la slantibus_fw-la may_v for_o sundry_a respect_n be_v allow_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n without_o any_o great_a inconveniency_n and_o that_o therefore_o man_n otherwise_o

other_o respect_v it_o be_v perhaps_o much_o more_o expedient_a if_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o that_o motion_n be_v either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o else_o more_o spare_o use_v ii_o concern_v the_o name_n dominica_n or_o the_o lord's-day_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v take_v up_o in_o memory_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n resurrection_n and_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n accomplish_v therein_o 2._o that_o it_o have_v warrant_n from_o the_o scripture_n apoc._n 1._o 10_o and_o have_v be_v of_o long_a continue_a use_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n to_o signify_v the_o first_o day_n

day_n be_v the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v from_o astronomer_n 2._o that_o it_o have_v be_v use_v general_o and_o of_o long_a time_n in_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o just_o chargeable_a with_o heathenism_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o much_o weakness_n at_o the_o least_o if_o not_o rather_o superstition_n that_o some_o man_n condemn_v the_o

several_a matter_n or_o occasion_n of_o speech_n each_o of_o the_o three_o may_v be_v fit_a in_o some_o respect_n and_o more_o proper_a to_o be_v use_v than_o either_o of_o the_o other_o two_o as_o viz._n 1._o the_o name_n sabbath_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o time_n of_o rest_n indeterminate_a and_o in_o general_a without_o reference_n to_o any_o particular_a day_n and_o the_o other_o two_o when_o we_o speak_v determinate_o of_o that_o day_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n of_o which_o two_n again_o 2._o that_o of_o the_o lord's-day_n be_v fit_a in_o in_o the_o theological_a and_o ecclesiastical_a and_o 3._o that_o of_o sunday_n in_o the_o civil_a popular_a and_o common_a use_n 2._o yet_o so_o as_o that_o none_o of_o the_o three_o be_v condemn_v as_o utter_o

commandment_n contain_v in_o they_o a_o law_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a 2._o that_o it_o be_v our_o bind_a duty_n to_o endeavour_v with_o our_o utmost_a power_n to_o keep_v the_o say_v law_n 3._o that_o our_o naughty_a heart_n have_v of_o themselves_o no_o inclination_n to_o keep_v it_o until_o god_n by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n shall_v incline_v they_o thereunto_o 2._o a_o

time_n to_o come_v that_o we_o may_v perform_v our_o duty_n better_a hereafter_o vi_o but_o how_o far_o forth_o the_o word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o law_n bind_v christian_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n they_o have_v that_o bind_a power_n be_v the_o main_a difficulty_n for_o the_o resolution_n whereof_o it_o may_v suffice_v every_o sober_a mind_a christian_a to_o understand_v the_o prayer_n appoint_v by_o the_o church_n in_o that_o meaning_n which_o the_o word_n do_v immediate_o import_v and_o without_o overcurious_a inquiry_n into_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o disputable_a to_o believe_v these_o few_o point_n follow_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v as_o certain_a and_o grant_v among_o christian_n viz._n 1._o that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o law_n deliver_v by_o moses_n to_o the_o jew_n do_v bind_v christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o delivery_n no_o not_o the_o ten_o commandment_n themselves_o but_o least_o of_o all_o the_o four_o which_o all_o confess_v to_o be_v at_o least_o in_o some_o part_n ceremonial_a 2._o that_o the_o particular_a determination_n of_o the_o time_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o so_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o that_o respect_n although_o it_o be_v juris_fw-la divini_fw-la positivi_fw-la to_o the_o jew_n yet_o be_v cease_v together_o with_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n since_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o bind_v not_o christian_n conscience_n 3._o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o the_o general_n viz._n that_o some_o certain_a time_n shall_v be_v set_v apart_o from_o secular_a employment_n and_o to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o a_o holy_a rest_n for_o the_o better_a attend_v upon_o gods_n public_a and_o solemn_a worship_n be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o of_o divine_a right_n as_o a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereunto_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v still_o bind_v 4._o that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la the_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n be_v the_o time_n appoint_v to_o we_o for_o that_o purpose_n by_o such_o sufficient_a authority_n

this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o regulate_v the_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n of_o every_o ordinary_a christian_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o unlawful_a for_o scholar_n sober_o and_o fair_o to_o argue_v and_o debate_v a_o little_o far_a matter_n which_o be_v questionable_a for_o the_o better_a find_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o point_n in_o this_o argument_n that_o be_v most_o in_o controversy_n be_v these_o two_o viz._n 1._o concern_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o keep_v one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o and_o by_o what_o right_a we_o eat_v tie_v so_o to_o do_v 2._o concern_v the_o change_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n into_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n it_o be_v do_v vii_o as_o touch_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v these_o three_o different_a opinion_n viz._n 1._o that_o it_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la naturali_fw-la as_o a_o branch_n proper_o of_o the_o

which_o three_o opinion_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judicious_a to_o consider_v 1._o whether_o the_o last_o of_o they_o may_v not_o hap_v to_o be_v of_o evil_a consequence_n by_o leave_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n at_o her_o

posterity_n some_o meet_a portion_n of_o his_o estate_n as_o perhaps_o a_o five_o part_n at_o the_o least_o or_o if_o a_o four_o or_o a_o whole_a three_o part_n i_o shall_v like_v it_o the_o better_a and_o by_o a_o solemn_a deliberate_a vow_n dedicate_v the_o same_o to_o be_v yearly_o employ_v in_o some_o pious_a and_o charitable_a use_n these_o time_n will_v afford_v he_o choice_n of_o object_n if_o god_n shall_v move_v his_o heart_n so_o to_o do_v and_o by_o so_o do_v he_o may_v first_o in_o some_o sort_n redeem_v and_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o his_o former_a rashness_n

be_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o keep_v the_o daughter_n in_o a_o continual_a fresh_a remembrance_n of_o her_o fault_n that_o she_o may_v not_o after_o a_o short_a and_o slight_a repentance_n as_o in_o such_o case_n too_o often_o it_o happen_v forget_v the_o same_o whereof_o she_o ought_v to_o have_v some_o remorse_n all_o the_o day_n of_o her_o life_n three_o he_o shall_v thereby_o after_o a_o
