on_o the_o six_o day_n twice_o as_o much_o verse_n 4._o 5._o 23._o but_o in_o all_o this_o chapter_n god_n speak_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o word_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n nor_o do_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n first_o wrap_v it_o up_o among_o his_o commandment_n and_o law_n give_v before_o this_o time_n to_o they_o and_o their_o father_n so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o institute_v a_o

shall_v he_o have_v reprove_v they_o for_o a_o transgression_n and_o a_o sin_n whereof_o there_o be_v not_o law_n next_o let_v we_o see_v what_o god_n act_n be_v whether_o they_o will_v afford_v a_o institution_n first_o he_o give_v they_o the_o manna_n vers_fw-la 15._o but_o this_o blessing_n be_v only_o on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o

be_v that_o they_o shall_v eat_v the_o reserve_a manna_n for_o that_o none_o be_v to_o be_v find_v that_o day_n in_o the_o field_n because_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n on_o which_o they_o be_v

on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v it_o they_o to_o gather_v but_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n there_o shall_v none_o be_v find_v which_o word_n

with_o they_o as_o a_o man_n have_v authority_n say_v see_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o the_o sabbath_n therefore_o he_o give_v you_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n abide_v you_o every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n let_v no_o man_n go_v out_o of_o his_o place_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o these_o word_n moses_n first_o command_v every_o man_n to_o abide_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o first_o be_v from_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o allow_v they_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n where_o out_o of_o these_o word_n let_v we_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o mention_v of_o the_o sabbath_n come_v only_o in_o still_o occasional_o concern_v the_o manna_n and_o not_o of_o purpose_n to_o institute_v a_o sabbath_n but_o whole_o in_o all_o the_o four_o place_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o either_o of_o gather_v the_o

seek_v it_o when_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o all_o this_o to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v keep_v more_o careful_o of_o the_o people_n as_o the_o event_n plain_o show_v for_o upon_o these_o consideration_n about_o the_o manna_n the_o people_n hearken_v to_o moses_n and_o do_v rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n verse_n 30._o the_o second_o thing_n wherewith_o i_o will_v and_o may_v conclude_v my_o answer_n be_v that_o which_o may_v satisfy_v
any_o not_o wilful_o averse_a from_o the_o truth_n the_o change_n of_o the_o tense_n in_o the_o two_o reason_n moses_n speak_v of_o god_n give_v of_o manna_n because_o it_o be_v at_o this_o time_n

the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o creation_n till_o the_o rain_v of_o manna_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v from_o a_o mere_a negative_a that_o there_o be_v no_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n answ_n 1._o i_o have_v prove_v the_o institution_n gen._n 2._o 3._o which_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v observe_v which_o if_o

of_o the_o day_n after_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o so_o we_o may_v find_v after_o it_o be_v command_v on_o mount_n sinai_n that_o no_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o any_o observation_n of_o the_o

or_o about_o pleasure_n when_o they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o well_o instruct_v know_v how_o to_o spend_v it_o better_o and_o if_o slothful_a drowsiness_n shall_v take_v hold_n on_o they_o they_o know_v how_o to_o stir_v their_o body_n by_o walk_v and_o in_o walk_v to_o meditate_v on_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n alone_o or_o to_o have_v some_o to_o confer_v with_o or_o to_o

be_v dull_a by_o go_v to_o the_o church_n and_o there_o continue_v for_o the_o time_n if_o this_o be_v allege_v 1_o i_o ask_v how_o long_o be_v such_o person_n in_o the_o whole_a day_n space_n at_o the_o church_n in_o some_o parish_n and_o too_o many_o of_o they_o one_o hour_n in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o less_o in_o the_o afternoon_n or_o a_o hour_n and_o half_a in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o as_o

any_o which_o carry_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n and_o have_v any_o life_n of_o save_a grace_n in_o they_o 2_o i_o ask_v again_o of_o these_o lover_n of_o pleasure_n first_o whether_o they_o come_v soon_o to_o church_n and_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n and_o so_o abide_v to_o the_o end_n second_o while_o they_o stay_v there_o do_v they_o not_o sleep_v or_o do_v they_o not_o sit_v idle_o gaze_v about_o or_o be_v they_o not_o carry_v away_o with_o many_o by-thought_n if_o so_o as_o too_o true_a can_v they_o then_o plead_v the_o dull_n of_o their_o spirit_n by_o so_o stay_v sinful_o in_o the_o congregation_n draw_v near_o with_o their_o body_n but_o in_o soul_n and_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o god_n 3_o i_o ask_v they_o be_v they_o indeed_o devout_a worshipper_n and_o attentive_a hearer_n and_o do_v they_o so_o understand_v themselves_o that_o they_o know_v what_o they_o have_v be_v do_v what_o they_o have_v reap_v thereby_o then_o sure_o they_o can_v depart_v away_o dull_a in_o
