the_o public_a devotion_n of_o the_o sunday_n be_v due_o perform_v no_o man_n can_v offend_v by_o such_o diversion_n but_o though_o you_o use_v this_o argument_n for_o popular_a seducement_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o your_o rule_n of_o practice_n no_o question_n but_o to_o pray_o and_o worship_n god_n be_v far_o more_o religious_a than_o to_o shed_a blood_n but_o yet_o you_o forget_v this_o divinity_n at_o the_o battle_n of_o edg-hill_n and_o make_v no_o scruple_n of_o murder_n and_o rebellion_n though_o it_o be_v upon_o that_o day_n which_o you_o call_v the_o sabbath_n for_o subject_n to_o make_v prayer_n and_o supplication_n for_o king_n and_o all_o in_o authority_n and_o to_o live_v a_o quiet_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n and_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o influence_n the_o mind_n of_o prince_n and_o to_o dispose_v of_o their_o person_n and_o crown_n no_o question_n but_o this_o be_v far_o more_o religious_a than_o to_o usurp_v the_o divine_a prerogative_n and_o set_v up_o who_o we_o fancy_n and_o pull_v down_o what_o prince_n we_o please_v but_o yet_o you_o and_o i_o do_v think_v ourselves_o oblige_v to_o this_o height_n of_o perfection_n but_o how_o do_v you_o resent_v the_o september_n thanksgiving_n ph._n ah_o sir_n it_o be_v to_o i_o a_o more_o melancholy_a day_n than_o the_o parliament-fast_a in_o the_o popish_a plot._n po._n the_o appoint_v that_o thanksgiving_n upon_o a_o sunday_n be_v in_o my_o opinion_n a_o politic_a design_n of_o the_o english_a court_n to_o cure_v the_o nation_n of_o that_o sullen_a distemper_n of_o sabbatize_v by_o that_o cunning_a essay_n of_o mirth_n and_o dominical_a triumph_n ph._n i_o declame_v against_o those_o profane_a bonfire_n as_o sacrifice_n to_o moloch_n and_o make_v the_o child_n pass_v through_o the_o fire_n the_o author_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o piety_n have_v record_v so_o many_o remark_n of_o divine_a vengeance_n upon_o sabbath-breaker_n that_o i_o do_v hope_v those_o unhallowed_a fire_n will_v have_v make_v some_o city_n like_v unto_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n and_o leave_v some_o town_n in_o ash_n i_o do_v expect_v that_o the_o gunpowder_n will_v have_v sabbatize_v and_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o diabolical_a as_o to_o have_v flash_v into_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n however_o i_o think_v the_o cannon_n may_v have_v prove_v like_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n and_o have_v destroy_v those_o man_n who_o kindle_v the_o flame_n but_o those_o triumph_v profanation_n be_v not_o revenge_v by_o any_o fire_n or_o thunderbolt_n from_o heaven_n i_o have_v lose_v my_o argument_n from_o providence_n and_o the_o tory_n will_v fancy_v that_o the_o fire_n and_o smoke_n of_o that_o day_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o incense_n and_o burnt-offering_a po._n i_o be_o afraid_a that_o the_o english_a nation_n will_v become_v so_o wise_a and_o ingenious_a as_o to_o see_v through_o this_o cheat_n and_o recover_v their_o ancient_a freedom_n and_o generosity_n and_o the_o want_n of_o puritanick_n scruple_n will_v be_v a_o mighty_a disadvantage_n to_o the_o cause_n ph._n i_o grant_v that_o the_o supererrogate_a superstition_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o principal_a foundation_n of_o puritanisme_n but_o i_o be_o secure_a of_o this_o advantage_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n itself_o do_v contribute_v to_o this_o delusion_n for_o though_o paul_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o ministration_n write_v in_o stone_n be_v do_v away_o yet_o moses_n be_v read_v every_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o english_a church_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n and_o when_o the_o minister_n as_o if_o he_o come_v just_a from_o mount_n horeb_n proclaim_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n remember_v thou_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v impossible_a the_o people_n shall_v forget_v to_o sabbatise_v and_o by_o this_o frequent_a repetition_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n the_o word_n sabbath_n must_v be_v continue_v in_o its_o popular_a vogue_n and_o sunday_n will_v be_v think_v profane_a and_o paganish_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o not_o only_o my_o disciple_n but_o the_o undiscerning_a proselyte_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v common_o style_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o do_v mistake_v it_o for_o the_o very_a sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n po._n i_o see_v the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v resolve_v to_o have_v the_o reformation_n according_a to_o law_n and_o after_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o mount_n but_o i_o wonder_v they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o charge_v i_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n when_o they_o themselves_o do_v every_o sunday_n equivocate_a both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n for_o the_o people_n be_v enjoin_v in_o express_a term_n to_o observe_v the_o jewish_a sanction_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o time_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v only_o intend_v and_o when_o that_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v full_o pronounce_v the_o people_n be_v teach_v to_o pray_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n so_o that_o the_o best_a sense_n which_o can_v be_v put_v upon_o that_o mistake_a ejaculation_n be_v this_o lord_n we_o pray_v thou_o to_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o thou_o know_v we_o mean_v the_o first_o ph._n my_o rabbi_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v a_o peculiar_a sanction_n to_o the_o jew_n be_v never_o receive_v into_o any_o ancient_a liturgy_n of_o the_o greek_a or_o latin_a church_n but_o the_o insert_v they_o into_o the_o english_a service_n be_v a_o very_a fortunate_a innovation_n and_o i_o shall_v improve_v the_o advantage_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v now_o under_o a_o inextricable_a dilemma_n if_o they_o continue_v this_o moysaicall_a sanction_n as_o part_v of_o their_o christian_a service_n it_o must_v perpetuate_v the_o humour_n of_o judaize_v if_o they_o shall_v alter_v or_o expunge_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n it_o will_v cause_v such_o popular_a outcry_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o adventure_v the_o consequence_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o that_o the_o evangelical_n beatitude_n be_v design_v to_o answer_v the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o like_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o mount_n but_o yet_o if_o the_o convocation_n shall_v place_v those_o beatitude_n and_o the_o whole_a pandect_a of_o christian_a law_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o two_o table_n it_o will_v not_o amount_v to_o popular_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o common_a people_n have_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o veneration_n for_o moses_n than_o they_o have_v for_o christ_n for_o they_o do_v not_o murmur_v against_o the_o picture_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n though_o expose_v in_o their_o holy_a place_n but_o if_o these_o two_o jewish_a saint_n be_v remove_v and_o the_o picture_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n introduce_v into_o church_n the_o people_n will_v clamour_v against_o the_o change_n as_o rank_a popery_n po._n well_o you_o have_v abundant_o convince_v i_o that_o a_o judaize_v puritanisme_n must_v continue_v in_o england_n as_o long_o as_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v continue_v in_o the_o common-prayer-book_n but_o have_v you_o no_o other_o stratagem_n to_o propagate_v the_o good_a old_a cause_n ph._n true_o at_o present_a i_o have_v no_o more_o in_o prospect_n but_o only_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o toleration_n to_o have_v our_o religious_a exercise_n confine_v to_o private_a family_n be_v like_o the_o restraint_n of_o simple_a marriage_n and_o will_v never_o propagate_v with_o expedition_n but_o a_o toleration_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a polygamy_n and_o if_o i_o can_v once_o again_o but_o espouse_v the_o teem_v crowd_n we_o shall_v multiply_v like_o jew_n and_o bring_v forth_o captain_n of_o fifty_n and_o captain_n of_o hundred_o and_o captain_n of_o thousand_o po._n if_o ever_o you_o have_v a_o indulgence_n you_o must_v thank_v rome_n for_o the_o favour_n but_o you_o can_v never_o expect_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o your_o own_o merit_n for_o all_o your_o plot_n and_o association_n your_o insolence_n and_o conspiracy_n be_v date_v from_o the_o last_o indulgence_n and_o though_o the_o king_n may_v forget_v that_o
