which_o have_v order_v that_o the_o four_o come_v be_v read_v in_o our_o church_n &_o also_o that_o the_o people_n shall_v use_v this_o prayer_n at_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o it_o by_o the_o minister_n

come_v then_o unto_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n wherein_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n do_v draw_v after_o it_o the_o nullify_n of_o the_o whole_a four_o come_v &_o now_o i_o prove_v it_o in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v ij_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v the_o commandment_n itself_o the_o other_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o come_v and_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o both_o these_o be_v nullify_v by_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o by_o deny_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o commandment_n itself_o that_o i_o may_v shewhow_v this_o be_v nullify_v first_o we_o must_v see_v what_o it_o be_v which_o they_o deny_v namely_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o which_o word_n we_o will_v consider_v that_o they_o deny_v the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n to_o be_v in_o force_n now_o &_o then_o we_o will_v consider_v how_o they_o deny_v the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n to_o be_v in_o force_n now_o for_o both_o these_o they_o do_v deny_v in_o deny_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v now_o in_o force_n of_o these_o two_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n which_o they_o do_v deny_v by_o these_o text_n exod._n 31.13_o &_o col._n 2.16.17_o now_o i_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n specify_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v &_o not_o in_o force_n now_o then_o be_v the_o four_o come_v make_v nonsense_n and_o to_o stand_v for_o a_o cipher_n and_o that_o this_o may_v appear_v you_o shall_v see_v it_o make_v plain_a to_o your_o very_a eyesight_n the_o lord_n god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o exod._n 20.8_o now_o the_o sabbath_n day_n here_o mention_v it_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n but_o this_o old_a sabbath_n day_n say_v these_o

just_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o take_v away_o these_o ij_o word_n sabbath_n day_n from_o out_o the_o commandment_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o put_v so_o many_o cipher_n as_o you_o have_v letter_n in_o the_o two_o word_n as_o you_o may_v do_v if_o those_o word_n or_o the_o thing_n mean_v by_o those_o word_n be_v abolish_v &_o then_o the_o commandment_n be_v no_o more_o but_o thus_o much_o remember_v the_o 0000000000_o to_o sanctify_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o denial_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n they_o have_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n &_o god_n commandment_n to_o become_v nonsense_n and_o a_o bundle_n of_o cipher_n &_o this_o must_v be_v so_o unless_o they_o can_v show_v we_o that_o god_n command_v we_o two_o sabbath_n day_n in_o his_o four_o come_v the_o one_o call_v sabbath_n day_n the_o other_o call_v lord_n day_n which_o all_o the_o logic_n in_o their_o head_n can_v never_o do_v and_o so_o much_o for_o their_o denial_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o other_o thing_n that_o they_o deny_v to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n &_o in_o this_o i_o will_v consider_v apart_o these_o ij_o thing_n first_o the_o word_n day_n &_o then_o the_o word_n seven_o first_o for_o the_o word_n day_n they_o say_v that_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o old_a day_n be_v abolish_v &_o as_o by_o other_o text_n so_o also_o by_o these_o text_n rom._n 14.5_o &_o gal._n 4.10_o second_o for_o the_o word_n seven_o they_o say_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o order_n of_o time_n be_v abolish_v to_o

in_o a_o day_n may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o sabhath_fw-mi &_o so_o a_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o sabbath_n hour_n loe_o then_o if_o by_o denial_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v not_o nullify_v the_o four_o con_v or_o as_o good_a as_o nullify_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v a_o whole_a day_n celebrate_v for_o his_o worship_n by_o the_o four_o

in_o 7_o year_n or_o once_o in_o a_o man_n life_n for_o the_o time_n how_o often_o be_v abolish_v there_o remain_v in_o the_o four_o come_v no_o more_o but_o the_o duty_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n

the_o one_o be_v
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 the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o can_v bemore_n plain_a have_v ignatius_n esteem_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n as_o many_o think_v now_o a_o day_n or_o judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n too_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o the_o primitive_a church_n remain_v in_o their_o great_a purity_n so_o long_a christian_n retain_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_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
