these_o text_n the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o god_n have_v choose_v out_o the_o

then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o evident_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_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 you_o see_v one_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o birth_n day_n and_o marriage_n day_n because_o on_o those_o day_n they_o be_v bear_v &_o marry_v those_o jew_n ester_n 9_o keep_v the_o day_n of_o purim_n because_o of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o christ_n passion_n day_n resurrection_n day_n or_o ascension_n day_n be_v there_o not_o some_o reason_n even_o in_o thes_n for_o one_o day_n above_o all_o other_o even_o so_o be_v there_o not_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v &_o rest_v on_o above_o all_o other_o since_o that_o god_n solemnize_v it_o &_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o do_v therefore_o bless_v it_o &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o himself_o have_v rest_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v observe_v by_o such_o as_o expound_v the_o come_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o one_o of_o seven_o that_o be_v of_o

v._o 13.14_o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 15.16.17_o that_o so_o the_o people_n appoint_v to_o work_v about_o the_o tabcrnacle_n as_o bezaleel_n and_o aboliab_n and_o the_o rest_n they_o may_v not_o work_v either_o upon_o the_o yearly_a or_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o be_v all_o these_o 5_o verse_n spend_v only_o about_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n only_o then_o have_v not_o god_n make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o can_v be_v lik_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o in_o these_o few_o verse_n v._n 13.14.15.16.17_o there_o be_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n to_o those_o that_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n two_o several_a time_n &_o in_o two_o several_a verse_n as_o in_o v._o 14._o whosoever_o work_v therein_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o people_n and_o in_o v._o 15._o whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o it_o be_v not_o lik_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n shall_v be_v repeat_v and_o twice_o together_o threaten_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n it_o be_v most_o likly_a that_o here_o moses_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o they_o in_o v._o 14._o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 15._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n also_o to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o remember_v that_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v beaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o v._o 17._o now_o these_o diverse_a sign_n do_v intimate_v that_o here_o may_v be_v diverse_a sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n for_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o one_o kind_n and_o creation_n to_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o probable_a that_o redemption_n and_o creation_n shall_v be_v both_o apply_v unto_o one_o kind_n only_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o liklihod_n there_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o about_o which_o we_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v take_v away_o these_o answer_n and_o prove_v unto_o v._o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a 7._o day_n sabbath_n they_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n all_o their_o labour_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o all_o be_v grant_v they_o which_o this_o text_n can_v afford_v they_o it_o will_v make_v only_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n but_o nothing_o for_o the_o

therefore_o abolish_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n

2.15_o argum_fw-la ix_o my_o 9th_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o force_n the_o whole_a four_o come_v with_o every_o part_n &_o parcel_n of_o it_o be_v abolish_v nullify_v &_o altogether_o useless_a and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v if_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o now_o in_o force_n then_o be_v the_o whole_a four_o come_v nullify_v &_o altogether_o useless_a but_o the_o four_o come_v be_v not_o nullify_v &_o become_v useless_a therefore_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n now_o in_o force_n first_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o namely_o that_o the_o four_o come_v be_v now_o in_o force_n this_o be_v plain_a

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

that_o not_o only_o towards_o mankind_n in_o general_a but_o also_o unto_o mercy_n both_o unto_o man_n &_o beast_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o moral_a

as_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o major_n i_o suppose_v none_o will_v deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o expound_v the_o commandment_n that_o not_o only_o the_o thing_n express_v in_o the_o

that_o must_v needs_o be_v moral_a without_o all_o controversy_n and_o as_o for_o the_o minor_a i_o suppose_v it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o major_a for_o 1._o it_o be_v express_o command_v in_o

to_o wit_n the_o 5_o november_n &_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o the_o rest_n from_o work_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a praise_n of_o god_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v tend_v to_o

brain_n as_o have_v be_v former_o show_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o mere_a idol_n or_o a_o very_a nothing_o that_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o fancy_n &_o fiction_n of_o

have_v clear_v and_o make_v apparent_a the_o two_o first_o thing_n in_o this_o idolatry_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o image_n and_o likeness_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o imagination_n and_o fiction_n or_o a_o idol_n and_o nothing_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o make_v complete_a idolatry_n and_o that_o be_v honour_n and_o reverence_n for_o that_o be_v proper_o idolatry_n when_o religiouse_a honour_n and_o reverence_n be_v attribute_v unto_o image_n and_o similitude_n or_o unto_o imagination_n and_o fiction_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o unto_o idol_n and_o nothing_o as_o when_o man_n reverence_v these_o as_o divine_a thing_n and_o as_o ordinance_n of_o god_n now_o i_o shall_v easy_o demonstrate_v unto_o you_o that_o man_n give_v honour_n &_o reverence_n unto_o this_o lord_n day_n yea_o no_o civil_a honour_n but_o divine_a &_o religiouse_a honour_n for_o 1._o the_o patroness_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o do_v esteem_v one_o day_n above_o a_o other_o the_o lord_n day_n above_o and_o before_o any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o week_n and_o that_o in_o a_o religiouse_a manner_n &_o thus_o they_o honour_v it_o by_o advance_v it_o above_o all_o other_o day_n yea_o by_o hold_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v great_a than_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o must_v hold_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o high_a &_o more_o honourable_a day_n than_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o they_o say_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o redemption_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n now_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n they_o hold_v to_o be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v they_o must_v have_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o more_o honour_n than_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v

be_v suppose_v of_o divine_a institution_n so_o necessary_a than_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n as_o without_o it_o religion_n &_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v of_o a_o continual_a consumption_n now_o since_o there_o be_v no_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n but_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o prevent_v the_o decay_n of_o religion_n &_o to_o support_v &_o further_a god_n worship_n &_o service_n thus_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o labour_n on_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v moral_a &_o perpetual_a because_o we_o find_v it_o tend_v unto_o the_o furtherance_n of_o god_n worship_n &_o because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o man_n &_o beast_n yea_o in_o a_o sort_n necessary_a also_o &_o thus_o much_o of_o this_o argument_n argum_fw-la xxiiii_o because_o many_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o law_n &_o light_n of_o nature_n hold_v that_o only_a to_o be_v moral_a in_o the_o decalogue_n which_o be_v ratify_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o such_o therefore_o i_o frame_v this_o argument_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o duty_n which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n which_o be_v make_v know_v to_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n he_o can_v by_o his_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o reason_n oppose_v but_o must_v allow_v of_o and_o subscrib_n unto_o as_o good_a for_o he_o that_o duty_n be_v moral_a concern_v our_o practice_n &_o be_v perpetual_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o the_o observation_n of_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n &_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o be_v make_v know_v to_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n he_o can_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o reason_n oppose_v it_o but_o must_v allow_v it_o and_o subscrib_n unto_o it_o as_o good_a for_o he_o therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v moral_a concern_v our_o practice_n &_o be_v perpetual_o to_o be_v keep_v as_o touch_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o major_a if_o any_o shall_v except_v against_o it_o say_v they_o can_v like_v of_o it_o if_o it_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o duty_n in_o the_o decalogue_n as_o be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o mislike_v of_o it_o because_o it_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o duty_n as_o be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o a_o supernatural_a light_n &_o then_o make_v know_v unto_o a_o natural_a man_n hereto_o i_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v not_o material_a whither_o the_o duty_n be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o after_o allow_v of_o by_o the_o same_o light_n or_o first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o supernatural_a light_n of_o god_n word_n in_o his_o four_o come_v &_o then_o subscribe_v unto_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n it_o matter_v not_o i_o say_v which_o way_n &_o by_o who_o the_o duty_n be_v find_v out_o first_o so_o long_o as_o nature_n &_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n do_v allow_v of_o it_o justify_v it_o and_o subscrib_n unto_o it_o after_o it_o be_v find_v out_o for_o man_n be_v as_o well_o bind_v by_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o observe_v those_o duty_n which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n allow_v and_o approve_v be_v teach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o observe_v those_o which_o be_v never_o teach_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o find_n of_o they_o nor_o the_o manner_n of_o get_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o that_o bind_v but_o it_o be_v the_o approbation_n and_o allowance_n of_o they_o that_o bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o they_o and_o which_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n in_o a_o man_n wherefore_o what_o duty_n soever_o be_v prescribe_v we_o in_o the_o decalogue_n if_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v oppose_v it_o as_o harmful_a &_o incommodiouse_a but_o do_v rather_o allow_v of_o it_o justify_v it_o &_o approve_v of_o it_o as_o good_a that_o duty_n must_v needs_o be_v moral_a &_o practise_v by_o we_o or_o else_o we_o bewray_v ourselves_o to_o be_v unnatural_a &_o to_o put_v out_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o &_o to_o go_v against_o conscience_n for_o we_o will_v refuse_v to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o allow_v of_o and_o subscribe_v unto_o as_o good_a to_o be_v do_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o minor_n in_o the_o minor_a i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o prove_v any_o thing_n but_o this_o to_o wit_n that_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n can_v oppose_v god_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o must_v allow_v of_o it_o as_o good_a to_o be_v observe_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o author_n use_n &_o end_n of_o it_o be_v discover_v unto_o he_o first_o they_o for_o the_o author_n of_o the_o sabbath_n a_o mere_a natural_a man_n can_v by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n but_o allow_v of_o all_o law_n and_o ordinance_n make_v by_o a_o deity_n 2._o for_o the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n 1._o as_o it_o be_v keep_v in_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v but_o allow_v of_o it_o since_o by_o the_o creation_n he_o receive_v his_o be_v and_o all_o comfort_n of_o this_o life_n 2._o it_o cross_v not_o the_o good_a of_o particular_a person_n society_n or_o common_a weal_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o serve_v to_o refresh_v both_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v overtoiled_a and_o spend_v in_o the_o 6_o day_n before_o by_o labour_n it_o help_v the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n and_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o society_n and_o common_a weal_n can_v well_o subsist_v without_o for_o we_o see_v beside_o weekly_a sabbath_n that_o common_a weal_n do_v maintain_v sundry_a anniversary_n holy_a day_n and_o therefore_o at_o the_o least_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o be_v count_v needful_a for_o rest_n wherefore_o suppose_v we_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n be_v change_v into_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n sabbath_n since_o the_o common_a weal_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o at_o least_o for_o rest_n and_o refreshment_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n in_o use_n the_o common_a weal_n can_v have_v nothing_o against_o it_o to_o oppose_v it_o but_o must_v allow_v of_o it_o approve_v it_o and_o subscrib_n unto_o it_o as_o good_a to_o be_v observe_v because_o in_o it_o and_o by_o it_o a_o good_a and_o benefit_n come_v unto_o the_o common_a weal_n both_o for_o their_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o a_o word_n do_v not_o nature_n teach_v we_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o show_v mercy_n unto_o servant_n and_o allow_v they_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o to_o rest_n in_o from_o their_o painful_a labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v themselves_o and_o so_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o labour_n again_o on_o the_o next_o six_o day_n and_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v of_o god_n choice_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n then_o of_o man_n choice_n and_o also_o that_o the_o time_n shall_v not_o be_v indifferent_a at_o man_n pleasure_n lest_o some_o cruel_a master_n shall_v deny_v their_o servant_n this_o necessary_a refreshment_n but_o necessary_a as_o enjoin_v by_o god_n &_o as_o a_o duty_n from_o all_o master_n how_o then_o shall_v this_o sabbath_n be_v but_o moral_a when_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v except_v against_o it_o and_o how_o shall_v it_o not_o but_o be_v observe_v of_o we_o to_o this_o day_n when_o that_o natural_a light_n of_o reason_n that_o be_v in_o we_o do_v consent_n unto_o it_o &_o allow_v and_o
