further_a than_o so_o for_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o plain_a &_o right_o down_o exhortation_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o say_v he_o

keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v hereunto_o subjoine_v this_o devout_a prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o commandment_n say_v god_n bless_v and_o hallow_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o hallow_a as_o the_o four_o commandment_n speak_v wherefore_o when_o the_o minister_n say_v remember_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n if_o then_o we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n

keep_v the_o 8_o day_n be_v we_o not_o then_o like_o those_o that_o come_v to_o church_n when_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v &_o that_o go_v to_o sell_v comodity_n the_o day_n after_o the_o fair_a yea_o be_v not_o this_o to_o babble_n with_o god_n and_o to_o profane_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v take_v but_o ij_o way_n it_o be_v a_o

thus_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n to_o wit_n that_o our_o church_n do_v pray_v to_o god_n daily_o to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o so_o

they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o

we_o will_v keep_v it_o holy_a wherefore_o thâ_n fault_n be_v not_o in_o we_o nor_o the_o sin_n we_o if_o it_o be_v profane_v see_v you_o to_o it_o therefore_o our_o blood_n be_v upon_o you_o if_o we_o perish_v in_o this_o sin_n eternal_o or_o be_v plague_v of_o god_n for_o it_o here_o temporal_o for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o reverend_a regard_n which_o we_o have_v of_o you_o and_o your_o

of_o assize_n that_o we_o be_v innocent_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o if_o for_o all_o this_o it_o than_o go_v ill_a with_o we_o we_o shall_v curse_v the_o day_n that_o ever_o we_o know_v you_o and_o believe_v you_o thus_o i_o advise_v people_n to_o disclaim_v and_o abandon_v the_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o this_o sin_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o burden_n of_o it_o whole_o upon_o such_o their_o

find_v the_o people_n general_o indifferent_o affect_v and_o ready_a enough_o to_o embrace_v god_n ancient_a sabbath_n in_o conscience_n of_o god_n four_o com._n and_o the_o only_a bridle_n that_o

appear_v that_o the_o whole_a fault_n be_v in_o their_o minister_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o advise_v the_o people_n to_o lay_v the_o weight_n and_o whole_a burden_n of_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n to_o provoke_v they_o to_o reform_v and_o cale_fw-la back_o their_o erroniouse_a doctrine_n touch_v god_n sabbath_v lest_o they_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o many_o soul_n a_o other_o day_n lay_v to_o their_o charge_n an_o other_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v against_o minister_n also_o and_o it_o be_v of_o exceed_v great_a consequence_n enough_o to_o cause_v the_o hair_n upon_o their_o head_n to_o stand_v right_o up_o and_o their_o heart_n to_o tremble_v again_o if_o there_o be_v any_o love_n and_o fear_n of_o god_n leave_v in_o they_o it_o be_v this_o be_v it_o so_o that_o almighty_a god_n have_v charge_v and_o command_v we_o to_o remember_v his_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o and_o to_o this_o end_n have_v give_v we_o

that_o very_a sabbath_n day_n where_o of_o god_n speak_v in_o his_o four_o come_v then_o be_v these_o word_n in_o the_o come_v to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v the_o

or_o same_o word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o they_o oppose_v thes_n word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o two_o text_n unto_o the_o like_a word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v the_o one_o to_o abolish_v the_o other_o this_o be_v so_o i_o proceed_v if_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o

to_o sanctify_v it_o i_o have_v put_v the_o word_n in_o controversy_n in_o a_o parenthesis_n as_o you_o see_v now_o let_v thes_n minister_n take_v a_o way_n those_o word_n in_o the_o parenthesis_n and_o you_o take_v quiet_a away_o the_o very_a subject_a matter_n of_o the_o lord_n speech_n you_o leave_v a_o roof_n with_o out_o a_o foundation_n god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbathday_n but_o if_o now_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n for_o that_o it_o be_v abolish_v as_o they_o say_v how_o then_o shall_v a_o man_n remember_v it_o god_n command_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n deut._n 5.12_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n how_o shall_v a_o man_n keep_v it_o again_o god_n say_v sanctify_v it_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o sanctify_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o what_o can_v we_o remember_v to_o sanctify_v a_o nothing_o so_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o very_a commandment_n the_o four_o come_v be_v utter_o nullify_v by_o their_o obiectiones_fw-la and_o make_v to_o speak_v nonsense_n or_o a_o nothing_o this_o be_v my_o first_o argument_n my_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o their_o own_o sense_n &_o use_v of_o it_o for_o when_o i_o urge_v they_o with_o the_o name_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v they_o turn_v i_o off_o with_o this_o that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n in_o english_a well_o be_v it_o so_o a_o rest_n let_v it_o signify_v from_o these_o two_o text_n then_o i_o argue_v again_o thus_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v they_o be_v the_o four_o come_v itself_o utter_o abolish_v but_o that_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v themselves_o confess_v it_o in_o their_o object_v two_o text_n for_o in_o thes_n text_n be_v the_o word_n sabbath_n see_v exod._n 31.13_o col._n 2.16_o which_o word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n now_o they_o do_v oppose_v the_o word_n sabbath_n which_o signify_v a_o rest_n in_o exod._n 31.13_o col._n 2.16_o against_o the_o same_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o comm_n which_o signi_v a_o rest_n also_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o sabbath_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o

and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n namely_o that_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v then_o be_v the_o four_o come_v utter_o and_o for_o ever_o abolish_v this_o i_o make_v good_a thus_o if_o that_o rest_n from_o our_o servile_a labour_n be_v abolish_v which_o be_v once_o in_o the_o four_o come_v command_v then_o now_o we_o may_v labour_v in_o our_o

thus_o i_o have_v finish_v my_o argument_n raise_v out_o of_o their_o two_o text_n wherehy_a i_o have_v prove_v that_o from_o their_o objection_n and_o exposition_n there_o follow_v not_o only_o a_o

by_o the_o four_o com._n some_o divine_v foresee_v the_o grossness_n of_o other_o who_o hold_v that_o the_o four_o com._n do_v bind_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n proper_o be_v ashamed_a of_o this_o &_o therefore_o they_o have_v find_v out_o a_o new_a way_n of_o bind_v &_o that_o be_v not_o that_o the_o four_o com._n shall_v bind_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n proper_o but_o improper_o &_o analogical_o by_o way_n of_o resemblance_n &_o similitude_n but_o how_o ever_o this_o distinction_n be_v some_o what_o neat_a &_o pretty_a &_o may_v serve_v the_o turn_n in_o school_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v a_o broad_a into_o the_o country_n it_o be_v very_o absurd_a for_o 1._o none_o of_o our_o country_n divine_v will_v use_v it_o 2._o this_o be_v a_o absurd_a distinction_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o command_n shall_v bind_v both_o proper_o &_o improper_o proper_o for_o two_o thousand_o year_n &_o improper_o ever_o after_o yea_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o ourselves_o for_o we_o abhor_v it_o in_o papist_n that_o they_o shall_v make_v 4_o sense_n of_o scripture_n the_o literal_a allegorical_a tropological_a &_o anagogical_a as_o perkins_n have_v they_o in_o his_o art_n of_o prophesy_v pag._n 651._o where_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n be_v but_o one_o only_a now_o why_o may_v not_o papist_n as_o well_o make_v 4_o sense_n as_o any_o of_o we_o make_v 2_o sense_n a_o

therefore_o it_o can_v command_v rest_n upon_o the_o same_o day_n neither_o can_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o com._n be_v draw_v to_o this_o 8_o day_n etc._n etc._n 4._o by_o this_o divise_n may_v we_o revive_v all_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n say_v they_o bound_v we_o now_o analogical_o which_o be_v flat_a contrary_n unto_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2.15_o colo._n 2.14.5_o the_o four_o come_v can_v bind_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o new_a day_n analogical_o because_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o old_a day_n be_v not_o yet_o abolish_v as_o shall_v be_v show_v and_o so_o it_o must_v bind_v still_o to_o the_o old_a day_n proper_o other_o answer_n there_o be_v also_o in_o my_o other_o book_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o here_o i_o omit_v for_o i_o purpose_v not_o to_o stand_v upon_o this_o point_n because_o i_o think_v few_o or_o none_o will_v urge_v it_o in_o the_o next_o place_n let_v we_o come_v to_o they_o that_o be_v ashamed_a of_o nothing_o for_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o four_o come_v bind_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n proper_o &_o these_o have_v many_o device_n to_o deceive_v themselves_o &_o other_o as_o sometime_o they_o have_v this_o argument_n that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n now_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n we_o rest_v &_o therefore_o the_o four_o com._n belong_v unto_o it_o hereto_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o word_n sabbath_n use_v in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v never_o use_v for_o a_o rest_n general_o upon_o any_o day_n but_o synecdochical_o for_o a_o rest_n

for_o on_o these_o day_n we_o rest_v also_o other_o have_v this_o for_o a_o argument_n they_o affirm_v that_o by_o sabbath_n day_n &_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o com._n may_v be_v mean_v not_o the_o sabbath_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o a_o sabbath_n &_o a_o seven_o day_n &_o be_v not_o these_o those_o necessary_a consequence_n whereof_o they_o talk_v so_o to_o wit_n because_o these_o word_n sabbath_n &_o seven_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o sabbath_n and_o of_o a_o seven_o day_n that_o therefore_o they_o must_v so_o be_v take_v with_o they_o then_o this_o be_v a_o necessary_a

be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o not_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n &_o not_o the_o seven_o

the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o

among_o indifferent_a thing_n where_o of_o the_o magistrate_n may_v proper_o make_v law_n yea_o whereas_o the_o magistrate_n now_o command_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v keep_v if_o it_o have_v no_o

the_o four_o come_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o 5_o com._n for_o it_o be_v the_o 5_o com._n that_o injoin_v obedience_n to_o our_o superioure_n wherefore_o then_o must_v minister_n no_o more_o press_v the_o four_o com._n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o the_o 5_o com._n they_o must_v no_o more_o say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o now_o they_o must_v say_v honour_v thy_o father_n &_o thy_o mother_n when_o they_o will_v have_v man_n sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o people_n they_o must_v no_o more_o say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o conscience_n of_o the_o four_o

sabbath_n then_o may_v be_v double_o consider_v of_o as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o magistrate_n as_o it_o be_v command_v by_o the_o magistrate_n so_o i_o do_v no_o way_n oppose_v it_o let_v it_o stand_v so_o such_o as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n so_o long_o as_o the_o magistrate_n please_v &_o as_o little_a while_n as_o he_o please_v but_o i_o oppose_v our_o minister_n only_o who_o say_v this_o lord_n day_n stand_v by_o divine_a ordination_n from_o god_n &_o so_o entangle_v the_o people_n conscience_n in_o this_o respect_n make_v more_o

find_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o be_v most_o false_a sect_n xviii_o thus_o we_o have_v answer_v to_o all_o their_o artificial_a argument_n &_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o their_o testimony_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v god_n blessing_n of_o this_o day_n &_o god_n curse_v of_o the_o profaner_n of_o it_o &_o first_o of_o the_o former_a say_v they_o

god_n to_o bless_a this_o day_n &_o it_o be_v a_o other_o for_o he_o to_o bless_v his_o ordinance_n in_o the_o day_n god_n ordinance_n in_o the_o day_n be_v preach_v &_o pray_v now_o god_n in_o

the_o day_n when_o they_o shall_v say_v god_n bless_v his_o ordinance_n in_o the_o day_n for_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o because_o god_n bless_v his_o ordinance_n do_v in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o therefore_o bless_v also_o the_o day_n &_o time_n wherein_o these_o ordinance_n be_v do_v no_o more_o than_o god_n bless_v the_o place_n wherein_o these_o ordinance_n be_v perform_v let_v i_o show_v you_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argue_v by_o the_o like_a case_n god_n blessing_n do_v usual_o accompany_v painful_a labour_n now_o suppose_v some_o profane_a tradesman_n shall_v work_v all_o day_n

day_n unto_o i_o for_o a_o work_a day_n &_o therefore_o here_o after_o i_o shall_v use_v it_o for_o a_o work_a day_n for_o god_n blessing_n upon_o my_o labour_n this_o day_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n approve_v my_o action_n &_o allow_v of_o it_o for_o a_o work_a day_n the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o god_n have_v curse_v the_o profaner_n of_o this_o lord_n day_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n approve_v of_o the_o day_n for_o we_o read_v in_o book_n set_v forth_o by_o some_o divin_n of_o many_o remarkable_a judgement_n of_o god_n which_o have_v befall_v the_o profaner_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o in_o controvercy_n about_o point_n of_o religion_n we_o must_v not_o prove_v thing_n by_o the_o argument_n of_o prosperity_n &_o adversity_n for_o these_o be_v no_o certain_a sign_n of_o god_n will_v and_o pleasure_n no_o man_n for_o certain_a know_v love_n or_o hatred_n of_o all_o that_o be_v before_o they_o eccl._n 9.1_o we_o must_v to_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o case_n for_o there_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o will_n but_o you_o may_v perceive_v they_o be_v almost_o out_o of_o breath_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o fly_v the_o scripture_n and_o hale_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v help_v to_o make_v a_o noise_n and_o put_v some_o colour_n upon_o the_o matter_n before_o the_o simple_a by_o this_o argument_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o palatinate_n his_o cause_n be_v naught_o and_o the_o emperor_n his_o cause_n be_v good_a because_o god_n cross_v the_o palatinate_n 2._o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v of_o the_o day_n from_o the_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n now_o we_o may_v impute_v those_o curse_n of_o god_n which_o
light_v upon_o man_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n unto_o their_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n of_o preach_v and_o prayer_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v that_o god_n

every_o body_n do_v serve_v god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o be_v ordinary_a contemner_n of_o god_n worship_n &_o service_n most_o just_o therefore_o may_v god_n plague_v they_o for_o

the_o sabbath_n day_n enjoin_v by_o the_o four_o comm._n albeit_o in_o truth_n saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o by_o the_o four_o com._n now_o if_o man_n do_v neither_o give_v god_n the_o

for_o they_o in_o this_o point_n make_v more_o sin_n than_o ever_o god_n make_v they_o deal_v by_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o player_n do_v with_o some_o of_o their_o fellow_n who_o they_o make_v a_o

sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n sect_n i._o in_o defend_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n i_o purpose_v to_o observe_v this_o method_n first_o i_o will_v prove_v the_o point_n by_o argument_n less_o

therefore_o i_o hold_v it_o better_a to_o place_v these_o objection_n next_o after_o the_o point_n be_v prove_v by_o probable_a argument_n and_o argument_n of_o conveniency_n and_o so_o these_o

be_v most_o meet_a &_o fit_a to_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n before_o any_o other_o one_o reason_n move_v i_o to_o handle_v these_o two_o point_n be_v to_o prevent_v

therefore_o to_o give_v such_o reason_n as_o may_v take_v place_n in_o a_o carnal_a mind_n for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o i_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n that_o this_o may_v the_o better_o appear_v we_o will_v consider_v of_o it_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n &_o beast_n touch_v man_n we_o will_v consider_v of_o he_o general_o and_o then_o particular_o and_o first_o for_o man_n in_o general_a it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n and_o work_v of_o mercy_n unto_o all_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o therein_o their_o body_n be_v exceed_o refresh_v and_o comfort_v for_o look_v as_o the_o bed_n at_o night_n be_v a_o great_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n that_o have_v be_v occupy_v all_o the_o day_n before_o in_o his_o painful_a call_n so_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o sweet_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n after_o that_o they_o have_v be_v exercise_v six_o day_n one_o after_o a_o other_o in_o continual_a labour_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n every_o man_n find_v by_o good_a experience_n we_o have_v a_o proverb_n that_o man_n must_v work_v to_o day_n as_o they_o may_v work_v too_o

our_o present_a occasion_n that_o man_n must_v work_v this_o week_n so_o as_o they_o may_v work_v the_o next_o week_n also_o that_o be_v they_o must_v not_o so_o work_v and_o tire_v out_o their_o
body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v continual_a and_o perpetual_a labour_n day_n by_o day_n without_o cease_v all_o his_o life_n long_o wherefore_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o man_n to_o sabbathize_v &_o rest_n in_o from_o labour_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o some_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o rest_n that_o so_o a_o man_n may_v so_o work_v one_o week_n as_o he_o may_v work_v a_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n also_o for_o man_n so_o to_o follow_v their_o work_n as_o they_o may_v go_v on_o &_o continue_v with_o they_o &_o not_o like_o unskilful_a rider_n who_o ride_v gallop_v upon_o the_o spur_n in_o the_o forenoon_n so_o as_o their_o tire_a horse_n can_v go_v in_o the_o after_o noon_n wherefore_o if_o man_n do_v but_o regard_v their_o own_o

the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o omit_v what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o our_o church_n do_v now_o celebrate_v many_o holy_a day_n for_o the_o same_o end_n &_o not_o only_o the_o saint_n day_n yearly_a but_o also_o the_o lord_n day_n weekly_o 2._o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o

rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o divine_a institution_n yet_o they_o keep_v and_o hold_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o wherein_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n and_o perform_v public_a worship_n unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o witeness_n hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o live_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n

now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a

wherefore_o if_o no_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o can_v be_v sabbath_n by_o the_o 4._o come_v bât_v the_o seven_o day_n then_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v hold_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v our_o

be_v most_o plain_a unless_o you_o will_v suppose_v foolish_o that_o god_n shall_v say_v &_o unsay_v it_o again_o with_o the_o same_o breath_n wherefore_o since_o none_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n of_o

&_o they_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o be_v gatherable_a by_o this_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o the_o first_o emperor_n that_o establish_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v constantine_n the_o great_a as_o say_v hosp_n cap._n 9_o pag._n 27._o &_o this_o

they_o all_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n unless_o we_o shall_v uncharitable_o censure_v they_o to_o have_v live_v profanly_a without_o any_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o while_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v many_o church_n keep_v both_o sabbath_n together_o to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o now_o can_v

wherefore_o since_o these_o church_n keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n so_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o after_o christ_n

the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o israelite_n whence_o they_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n it_o have_v be_v no_o

from_o the_o creation_n as_o this_o argument_n false_o suppose_v the_o argument_n have_v have_v more_o colour_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o

as_o we_o see_v exod._n 31.13_o the_o sign_n be_v but_o adventitiouse_a &_o add_v to_o the_o sabbath_n after_o its_o institution_n wherefore_o the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o sign_n as_o well_o unto_o gentile_n as_o unto_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n among_o the_o jew_n only_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sign_n

this_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o force_n iii_o again_o they_o reason_v thus_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o people_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o profane_v of_o his_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n but_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n but_o only_o the_o jew_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v obliterated_a before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n sabbath_n &_o so_o god_n in_o mercy_n may_v spare_v they_o the_o time_n of_o this_o ignorance_n god_n regard_v not_o say_v paul_n act._n 17.30_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o clear_a light_n than_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v the_o more_o obnoxious_a and_o these_o the_o less_o 2._o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o sabbath_n break_v how_o know_v they_o this_o since_o all_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o write_v much_o less_o the_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o gentile_n 3._o by_o the_o like_a absurd_a reason_n we_o may_v prove_v that_o other_o of_o the_o moral_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n because_o god_n never_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o neither_o so_o much_o for_o this_o argument_n four_o last_o they_o argue_v from_o deut._n 5.2.3_o where_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v not_o this_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o who_o be_v alive_a this_o day_n etc._n etc._n here_o

that_o be_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v there_o call_v exod._n 16.23.28_o for_o these_o cause_n a_o other_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n must_v be_v give_v thus_o

before_o man_n fall_n or_o instant_o &_o immediate_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v i._o my_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o word_n so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v genes_n 2.3_o after_o that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o 6_o day_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o ever_o after_o he_o rest_v from_o that_o work_n in_o memory_n whereof_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v god_n consecrate_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o by_o consecrate_v it_o he_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n above_o all_o the_o day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n for_o to_o sanctify_v &_o consecrate_v a_o day_n to_o hallow_v a_o day_n &_o to_o make_v a_o day_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n i_o take_v to_o be_v all_o one_o now_o the_o question_n may_v be_v whither_o god_n do_v sanctify_v this_o day_n for_o himself_o
his_o change_n be_v not_o the_o very_a same_o which_o god_n specify_v in_o numb_a 9.10.11_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o like_a reason_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o we_o may_v go_v beyond_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n so_o be_v we_o hold_v close_o to_o the_o like_a reason_n &_o this_o i_o have_v do_v in_o fetch_v my_o argument_n from_o the_o passover_o day_n to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o i_o have_v hold_v i_o to_o like_a reason_n of_o they_o both_o as_o you_o have_v see_v and_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n may_v be_v keep_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o yet_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o prove_v now_o that_o our_o case_n in_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n &_o this_o be_v do_v all_o be_v firm_a for_o this_o therefore_o see_v the_o next_o section_n sect_n iv_o in_o this_o section_n i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o true_a necessity_n upon_o we_o to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o a_o season_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n with_o our_o church_n for_o it_o and_o in_o room_n of_o it_o this_o necessity_n i_o shall_v declare_v unto_o you_o 1._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o body_n 2._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o soul_n 3._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o brethren_n &_o first_o of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o touch_v our_o body_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n i_o shall_v make_v necessity_n appear_v two_o way_n the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n sabbath_n than_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o a_o week_n to_o provide_v for_o our_o body_n and_o to_o compass_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o for_o when_o we_o have_v keep_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n the_o magistrate_n will_v compel_v we_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n to_o keep_v the_o sunday_n also_o &_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o every_o week_n or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o now_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v 6_o day_n in_o every_o week_n ordenary_o or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o because_o else_o god_n will_v not_o have_v allow_v man_n 6_o day_n to_o work_v in_o for_o himself_o &_o have_v take_v but_o one_o for_o his_o worship_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.8_o now_o since_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o we_o have_v 6_o day_n

we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n than_o we_o offend_v the_o magistrate_n and_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n &_o hereupon_o will_v follow_v imprisonment_n of_o body_n &_o consequent_o poverty_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v imprison_v he_o must_v neglect_v his_o cale_a &_o mean_n of_o maintenance_n &_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n &_o

to_o he_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n namely_o the_o necessity_n of_o want_n poverty_n &_o hunger_n now_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o i_o will_v plead_v this_o kind_n of_o necessity_n of_o all_o other_o therefore_o i_o will_v strengthen_v it_o and_o that_o by_o the_o allowance_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o practice_v of_o his_o

6.1_o which_o work_v they_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v a_o little_a hunger_n and_o christ_n justify_v this_o action_n now_o if_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o

you_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o objection_n &_o so_o much_o for_o the_o necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o body_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o soul_n &_o here_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o thing_n stand_v yet_o it_o will_v pine_v our_o soul_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o two_o respect_n the_o former_a be_v this_o you_o know_v the_o sabbath_n day_n aught_o to_o be_v solemnize_v with_o assembly_n levit._n 23.3_o now_o the_o benefit_n of_o company_n &_o fellowship_n in_o

and_o pine_v away_o as_o it_o be_v the_o other_o respect_n whereby_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v necessity_n to_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n lest_o the_o soul_n pine_v be_v this_o you_o know_v that_o to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v require_v the_o help_n of_o the_o minister_n luk._n 4.16_o act._n 15.21_o to_o go_v before_o the_o people_n in_o the_o

now_o than_o we_o must_v keep_v they_o without_o that_o ordinance_n of_o god_n ministry_n &_o so_o our_o soul_n shall_v languish_v &_o pine_v away_o for_o lack_v of_o the_o daily_a bread_n the_o

since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o can_v call_v to_o mind_n that_o ever_o the_o church_n of_o god_n make_v any_o reformation_n comparable_a to_o this_o of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n unless_o

the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o great_a upon_o lazarus_n because_o he_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a when_o he_o have_v be_v so_o long_o bury_v that_o he_o stanke_z again_o the_o lord_n

up_o again_o therefore_o will_v be_v a_o work_n of_o great_a difficulty_n 3._o it_o will_v be_v the_o great_a because_o it_o be_v like_a to_o meet_v with_o mighty_a and_o great_a oppositiones_fw-la

the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n until_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n ascension_n for_o as_o we_o have_v former_o prove_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o

teach_v or_o maintain_v in_o its_o integrity_n wholenesse_n and_o perfection_n in_o our_o church_n this_o i_o have_v make_v plain_a also_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o book_n for_o unless_o
