we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o who_o time_n the_o christian_n be_v far_o more_o beholden_a to_o god_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v since_o god_n have_v discharge_v

meet_v together_o every_o day_n to_o serve_v in_o common_a which_o nevertheless_o he_o look_v for_o as_o well_o as_o for_o a_o particular_a service_n they_o must_v stint_v some_o ordinary_a day_n for_o that_o end_n and_o in_o this_o stint_n must_v not_o show_v themselves_o inferior_n to_o the_o jew_n appoint_v less_o than_o one_o day_n among_o seven_o to_o god_n service_n this_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o foresay_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v obligatory_a for_o ever_o for_o to_o dedicate_v to_o god_n precise_o a_o seven_o day_n after_o we_o have_v bestow_v six_o day_n upon_o ourselves_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o just_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o more_o just_a nor_o better_o proportion_v nor_o more_o obligatory_a of_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n special_o to_o christian_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o consecrate_v to_o god_n one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o or_o of_o four_o for_o the_o more_o we_o hallow_v to_o god_n the_o more_o do_v we_o that_o which_o be_v just_a equitable_a and_o well_o order_v and_o the_o more_o do_v we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o be_v natural_o bind_v unto_o towards_o he_o if_o then_o god_n ordain_v in_o time_n pass_v under_o the_o law_n that_o the_o day_n which_o he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o dedicate_v unto_o he_o shall_v be_v particular_o one_o of_o seven_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o natural_a justice_n which_o be_v more_o in_o that_o number_n or_o for_o any_o proportion_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v more_o convenient_a in_o that_o behalf_n than_o the_o

more_o than_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o upon_o a_o people_n load_v already_o with_o many_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o no_o particular_a justice_n be_v tie_v to_o this_o number_n of_o seven_o more_o than_o to_o any_o other_o this_o reason_n contain_v in_o the_o foresay_a word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n can_v be_v moral_a nor_o consequent_o perpetual_a but_o only_o positive_a and_o for_o

be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o liberty_n to_o bestow_v a_o number_n of_o day_n upon_o our_o own_o affair_n it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o there_o be_v one_o day_n appoint_v wherein_o we_o

no_o more_o to_o one_o of_o seven_o then_o to_o one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o 3_o whereas_o they_o add_v that_o as_o the_o labour_n of_o six_o day_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n ceremonial_a so_o neither_o shall_v the_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v place_v in_o that_o rank_n i_o answer_v first_o infer_v from_o thence_o a_o contrary_a argument_n that_o as_o to_o take_v pain_n in_o the_o
