though_o he_o limit_n paul_n preach_v to_o that_o church_n with_o who_o he_o at_o present_a personal_o be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n be_v come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n paul_n be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o troas_n preach_v to_o they_o on_o that_o day_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o the_o gentile-churche_n do_v use_v to_o break_v bread_n not_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o i_o say_v they_o have_v it_o from_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n where_o the_o apostle_n be_v first_o seat_v and_o behold_v the_o way_n of_o their_o lord_n with_o their_o eye_n now_o i_o say_v since_o we_o have_v so_o ample_a a_o example_n not_o only_o of_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n but_o also_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o first_o day_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o as_o countenance_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n for_o their_o practice_n be_v the_o same_o with_o law_n and_o commandment_n but_o five_o we_o will_v add_v to_o this_o another_o text_n now_o say_v paul_n concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n let_v every_o one_o of_o you_o lay_v by_o he_o as_o god_n have_v prosper_v he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o gather_n when_o i_o come_v 1_o cor._n 16._o 1_o 2._o this_o text_n some_o have_v great_o seek_v to_o evade_v count_v the_o duty_n here_o on_o this_o day_n to_o be_v do_v a_o duty_n too_o inferior_a for_o the_o sanction_n of_o a_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o yet_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o a_o ass_n on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v a_o work_n which_o our_o lord_n no_o way_n condemn_v luke_n 13._o 15._o ch_n 14._o 15._o but_o to_o pursue_v our_o design_n we_o have_v a_o duty_n enjoin_v and_o that_o of_o no_o inferior_a sort_n if_o charity_n be_v indeed_o as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o perfectness_n and_o if_o without_o it_o all_o our_o do_n yea_o and_o suffering_n too_o be_v not_o worth_a so_o much_o as_o a_o rush_n 1_o cor._n 13._o coloss._n 3._o 14._o we_o have_v here_o a_o duty_n i_o say_v that_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o enforce_v be_v not_o too_o big_a for_o it_o to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o work_n now_o to_o be_v do_v be_v as_o you_o see_v to_o bestow_v their_o charity_n upon_o the_o poor_a yea_o to_o provide_v for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v collect_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n not_o a_o first_o day_n as_o signify_v one_o or_o two_o but_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n even_o every_o first_o day_n for_o so_o your_o ancient_a bibles_n have_v it_o also_o our_o late_a must_v be_v so_o understand_v or_o else_o paul_n have_v leave_v they_o to_o who_o he_o do_v write_v utter_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o if_o he_o intend_v not_o every_o first_o day_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o specify_v a_o particular_a one_o it_o can_v hardly_o even_o a_o be_v understand_v which_o first_o day_n he_o mean_v but_o we_o need_v not_o stand_v upon_o this_o this_o work_n be_v a_o work_n for_o a_o first_o day_n for_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n note_v again_o that_o we_o have_v this_o duty_n here_o command_v and_o enforce_v by_o a_o apostolical_a order_n i_o have_v give_v order_n say_v paul_n for_o this_o and_o his_o order_n as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 14._o vers_fw-la 37._o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v give_v even_o by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o a_o holy_a respect_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n yea_o or_o of_o the_o year_n beside_o further_o i_o find_v also_o by_o this_o text_n that_o this_o order_n be_v universal_a i_o have_v say_v he_o give_v this_o order_n not_o only_o to_o you_o but_o to_o the_o church_n in_o galatia_n consequently_n to_o all_o other_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o collection_n 2_o cor._n 8._o and_o 9_o chap._n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o whatever_o other_o may_v think_v put_v yet_o more_o glory_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o in_o that_o all_o the_o church_n be_v command_v as_o to_o make_v their_o collection_n so_o to_o make_v they_o on_o this_o day_n what_o be_v it_o but_o that_o this_o day_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sanction_n that_o christ_n put_v upon_o it_o be_v of_o virtue_n to_o sanctify_v the_o offer_n through_o and_o by_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o altar_n and_o temple_n afore_o do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n and_o gold_n that_o be_v and_o be_v offer_v on_o they_o the_o proverb_n be_v the_o better_a day_n the_o better_a deed._n and_o i_o believe_v that_o thing_n do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v better_o do_v than_o on_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o his_o worship_n obj._n but_o yet_o say_v some_o here_o be_v no_o order_n to_o keep_v this_o first_o day_n holy_a to_o the_o lord_n answ._n 1._o that_o be_v supply_v for_o that_o by_o this_o very_a text_n this_o day_n be_v appoint_v above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n in_o 2._o you_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o order_n be_v but_o additional_a and_o now_o enjoin_v to_o fill_v up_o that_o which_o be_v begin_v as_o to_o holy_a exercise_n of_o religious_a worship_n by_o the_o church_n long_o before_o 3._o the_o universality_n of_o the_o duty_n be_v enjoin_v to_o this_o day_n suppose_v that_o this_o day_n be_v universal_o keep_v by_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a already_o 4._o and_o let_v he_o that_o scruple_v this_o show_v i_o if_o he_o can_v that_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o apostle_n do_v ever_o command_v that_o all_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v confine_v to_o this_o or_o that_o duty_n on_o such_o a_o day_n and_o yet_o put_v no_o sanction_n upon_o that_o day_n or_o that_o he_o have_v command_v that_o this_o work_n shall_v be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o yet_o have_v reserve_v other_o church-ordinance_n as_o a_o public_a solemnisation_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o to_o be_v do_v of_o another_o day_n as_o of_o a_o day_n more_o fit_a more_o holy_a 5._o if_o charity_n if_o a_o general_a collection_n for_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n be_v command_v on_o this_o day_n and_o on_o no_o other_o day_n but_o this_o day_n for_o church-collection_n be_v command_v on_o no_o other_o there_o must_v be_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o if_o that_o reason_n have_v not_o respect_n to_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n i_o know_v not_o why_o the_o duty_n shall_v be_v so_o strict_o confine_v to_o it_o 6._o but_o for_o the_o apostle_n now_o to_o give_v with_o this_o a_o particular_a command_n to_o the_o church_n to_o sanctify_v that_o day_n as_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v utter_o superfluous_a for_o that_o they_o already_o and_o that_o by_o the_o countenance_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o his_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n have_v do_v before_o now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v become_v a_o custom_n as_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o be_v manifest_a wherefore_o what_o need_v that_o their_o so_o solemn_a a_o practice_n be_v impose_v again_o upon_o the_o brethren_n a_o intimation_n now_o of_o a_o continue_a respect_n thereto_o by_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o day_n be_v enough_o to_o keep_v the_o sanctity_n thereof_o on_o foot_n in_o the_o church_n how_o much_o more_o then_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v still_o add_v holy_a duty_n to_o holy_a duty_n to_o be_v perform_v upon_o that_o day_n so_o then_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n and_o insinuate_v that_o he_o will_v still_o have_v they_o have_v a_o due_a respect_n thereto_o quest._n but_o be_v there_o yet_o another_o reason_n why_o this_o holy_a duty_n shall_v in_o special_a as_o it_o be_v be_v command_v to_o be_v perform_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n answ._n yes_o for_o that_o now_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o in_o their_o respective_a place_n the_o better_a to_o agree_v about_o collection_n and_o to_o gather_v they_o you_o know_v church-worship_n be_v a_o duty_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o long_o also_o be_v this_o of_o make_v collection_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o
also_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n have_v by_o his_o rise_n again_o finish_v his_o work_n viz._n make_v a_o conquest_n over_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v through_o his_o so_o do_v so_o then_o that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o church_n also_o for_o god_n give_v his_o rest_a day_n to_o his_o church_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o christ_n rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n do_v from_o his_o therefore_o he_o also_o give_v the_o day_n in_o which_o he_o rest_v from_o his_o work_n a_o sabbath_n to_o the_o church_n as_o do_v the_o father_n not_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sabbath_n at_o once_o the_o father_n be_v impose_v for_o a_o time_n even_o until_o the_o son_n shall_v come_v yea_o as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o even_o in_o the_o very_a time_n of_o its_o impose_v it_o be_v also_o ordain_v to_o be_v do_v away_o hence_o he_o say_v that_o ministration_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o 2_o cor._n 3._o therefore_o we_o plead_v not_o for_o two_o sabbath_n to_o be_v at_o one_o time_n but_o that_o a_o succession_n of_o time_n be_v ordain_v to_o the_o new_a testament-saint_n or_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o which_o time_n be_v that_o in_o which_o the_o son_n rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n do_v from_o he_o second_o hence_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o luke_n 5._o matth._n 12._o show_n now_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n be_v to_o have_v dominion_n dominion_n over_o a_o thing_n and_o so_o power_n to_o alter_v or_o change_v it_o according_a to_o that_o power_n and_o where_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v say_v christ_n have_v not_o this_o absolute_o we_o will_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o hand_n he_o have_v the_o question_n than_o be_v whether_o he_o he_o have_v exercise_v that_o power_n to_o the_o demolish_n or_o remove_v of_o the_o jew_n seven_o day_n and_o establish_v another_o in_o its_o room_n the_o which_o i_o think_v be_v easy_o answer_v in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o rest_n from_o his_o own_o work_n therein_o but_o choose_v for_o his_o own_o rest_n to_o himself_o another_o day_n sure_o have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n intend_v to_o have_v establish_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n he_o will_v himself_o in_o the_o first_o place_n have_v rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_n therein_o but_o since_o he_o pass_v by_o that_o day_n and_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o finish_n of_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o when_o he_o have_v finish_v he_o it_o remain_v that_o he_o fix_v upon_o another_o day_n even_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n on_o which_o by_o his_o rise_n again_o and_o show_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n before_o his_o passion_n he_o make_v it_o manifest_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v as_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o day_n for_o his_o own_o rest._n consequently_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o church_n and_o for_o his_o worship_n to_o be_v solemnize_v in_o three_o and_o on_o this_o day_n some_o of_o the_o saint_n that_o sleep_v arise_v and_o begin_v their_o eternal_a sabbath_n matth._n 27._o 52_o 53._o see_v how_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v glorify_v this_o day_n never_o be_v such_o a_o stamp_n of_o divine_a honour_n put_v upon_o any_o other_o day_n no_o not_o since_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o the_o grave_n be_v open_v and_o many_o body_n of_o saint_n which_o sleep_v arise_v and_o come_v out_o of_o their_o grave_n after_o his_o resurrection_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v they_o rise_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v rise_v but_o why_o be_v not_o all_o this_o do_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n no_o that_o day_n be_v set_v apart_o that_o saint_n may_v adore_v god_n for_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o that_o saint_n through_o that_o may_v look_v for_o redemption_n by_o christ_n but_o now_o a_o work_n more_o glorious_a than_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o another_o day_n be_v assign_v for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o in_o a_o work_n i_o say_v of_o redemption_n complete_v a_o day_n therefore_o by_o itself_o must_v be_v assign_v for_o this_o and_o some_o of_o the_o saint_n to_o begin_v their_o eternal_a sabbath_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o day_n by_o itself_o must_v be_v appoint_v for_o this_o yea_o and_o that_o this_o day_n may_v not_o want_v that_o glory_n that_o may_v attract_v the_o most_o dim-sighted_a christian_a to_o a_o desire_n after_o the_o sanction_n of_o it_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o also_o of_o those_o saint_n meet_v together_o on_o it_o yea_o they_o both_o do_v begin_v their_o eternal_a rest_n thereon_o four_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o a_o day_n that_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v make_v and_o say_v we_o will_v rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a in_o it_o but_o what_o day_n be_v this_o why_o the_o day_n in_o which_o christ_n be_v make_v the_o head_n of_o the_o corner_n which_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o day_n in_o which_o he_o be_v

the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o as_o i_o have_v hint_v afore_o of_o a_o church-collection_n when_o be_v it_o more_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v than_o when_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o worship_n god_n 2._o this_o part_n of_o worship_n be_v most_o comely_a to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o at_o the_o close_a of_o that_o day_n work_v for_o thereby_o the_o church_n show_v not_o only_o her_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o a_o sabbath-day_n mercy_n but_o also_o return_v he_o by_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a that_o sacrifice_n for_o their_o benefit_n that_o be_v most_o behoveful_a to_o make_v manifest_a their_o profess_a subjection_n to_o christ_n prov._n 19_o 17._o 2_o cor._n 9_o 12_o 13_o 14_o 15._o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o this_o work_n be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o a_o comely_a close_a of_o the_o worship_n that_o we_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n on_o that_o day_n 3._o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o church_n be_v perform_v of_o holy_a worship_n unto_o god_n then_o that_o of_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v perform_v because_o then_o in_o all_o likelihood_n our_o heart_n will_v be_v most_o warm_a with_o the_o divine_a presence_n consequent_o most_o open_a and_o free_a to_o contribute_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v open_a be_v take_v with_o some_o excellent_a thing_n then_o if_o at_o all_o it_o be_v most_o free_a to_o do_v something_o for_o the_o promote_a thereof_o why_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o appointment_n open_v and_o make_v fre●_n the_o heart_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o because_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v it_o in_o which_o now_o such_o solemn_a service_n to_o he_o be_v do_v therefore_o also_o the_o apostle_n command_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o day_n also_o as_o on_o a_o day_n most_o fit_a this_o duty_n of_o collect_v for_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v do_v for_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n 2_o cor._n 9_o 6_o 7._o wherefore_o the_o apostle_n by_o this_o take_v the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o advantage_n and_o as_o we_o say_v while_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v what_o in_o he_o lay_v make_v their_o gollection_n not_o spare_v nor_o of_o a_o grudge_a mind_n but_o to_o flow_v from_o cheerfulness_n and_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n though_o its_o institution_n be_v set_v aside_o do_v most_o natural_o tend_v to_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n the_o only_a day_n in_o which_o we_o receive_v such_o blessing_n from_o god_n act_v 3._o 26._o this_o be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o at_o first_o it_o rain_v manna_n all_o day_n long_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o new_a testament-church_n and_o so_o continue_v to_o do_v this_o day_n oh_o the_o resurrection_n of_o

they_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o day_n here_o command_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o holy_a duty_n and_o although_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v be_v but_o little_a set_v by_o of_o some_o yet_o for_o a_o close_a word_n as_o to_o this_o i_o do_v think_v can_v but_o half_a so_o much_o be_v produce_v from_o the_o day_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a quite_o down_o for_o the_o

his_o fellow_n so_o much_o as_o once_o speak_v one_o word_n to_o the_o church_n that_o show_v the_o least_o regard_n as_o to_o conscience_n to_o god_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n more_o no_o the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n be_v now_o all_o the_o cry_n in_o the_o church_n by_o the_o apostle_n for_o the_o perform_a church-worship_n in_o to_o god_n christ_n begin_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o church_n practise_v it_o on_o that_o day_n and_o to_o conclude_v the_o apostle_n by_o the_o command_n now_o under_o consideration_n continue_v the_o sanction_n of_o that_o day_n to_o the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o as_o to_o the_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o have_v be_v say_v afore_o in_o this_o treatise_n paul_n who_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n have_v so_o take_v away_o that_o whole_a ministration_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o which_o it_o be_v yea_o and_o have_v so_o strip_v it_o of_o its_o old_a testament-grandeur_n both_o by_o term_n and_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o it_o shall_v by_o any_o be_v still_o keep_v up_o in_o the_o

on_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o crafty_a love_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n i_o say_v he_o preach_v now_o on_o that_o day_n to_o they_o and_o their_o

wherefore_o it_o you_o observe_v you_o shall_v still_o find_v that_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o preach_v on_o that_o day_n it_o be_v to_o that_o people_n not_o to_o the_o church_n of_o
