and_o first_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o 3_o argument_n use_v by_o a_o worthy_a divine_a and_o late_a writer_n to_o prove_v this_o rest_n rigorouse_a who_o name_n i_o spare_v for_o honour_n sake_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v this_o that_o the_o jew_n may_v not_o on_o the_o sabbath_n go_v forth_o or_o take_v a_o journey_n any_o whither_o for_o any_o business_n of_o his_o own_o exod._n 16.29_o this_o say_v he_o be_v temporary_a and_o do_v not_o concern_v these_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o text_n exod._n 16.29_o forbid_v the_o jew_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n indeed_o but_o by_o the_o context_n it_o do_v appear_v that_o here_o the_o lord_n forbid_v travail_v frivolouslie_o when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o travail_v for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n god_n give_v they_o manna_n enough_o for_o ij_o day_n the_o 6_o &_o the_o seven_o &_o so_o rain_v down_o none_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o go_v forth_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o sabbath_n day_n &_o this_o be_v the_o journey_n which_o god_n forbid_v nam_o a_o unnecessary_a journey_n for_o why_o shall_v they_o go_v abroad_o to_o seek_v manna_n on_o a_o day_n wherein_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o field_n and_o why_o shall_v they_o seek_v for_o it_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n when_o god_n give_v they_o enough_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n both_o for_o it_o and_o for_o the_o seven_o day_n also_o now_o i_o pray_v show_v i_o where_o be_v that_o rigorouse_a strictness_n of_o the_o jewish_a rest_n for_o which_o end_n this_o text_n be_v bring_v be_v that_o to_o be_v esteem_v a_o rigorouse_a rest_n when_o man_n be_v forbid_v to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n when_o they_o have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o to_o travail_v &_o when_o their_o journey_n be_v frivolouse_a &_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o this_o be_v a_o jewish_a strictness_n we_o christian_n use_v it_o and_o urge_v it_o at_o this_o day_n for_o we_o permit_v not_o to_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n upon_o every_o sleity_n occasion_n and_o do_v they_o not_o want_v matter_n think_v you_o against_o god_n sabbath_n when_o they_o be_v force_v to_o rack_n up_o such_o poor_a stuff_n as_o this_o be_v against_o they_o sect_n iii_o an_o other_o reason_n he_o use_v take_v out_o of_o exod._n 35.3_o where_o the_o jew_n be_v forbid_v to_o kindle_v a_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n you_o shall_v kindle_v no_o fire_n throughout_o your_o habitationes_fw-la on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o herein_o say_v he_o stand_v the_o rigorousnesse_n of_o the_o jewish_a rest_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o text_n if_o understod_v general_o it_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o taint_a hoocke_n and_o stretch_v beyond_o measure_n you_o have_v a_o text_n to_o wit_n the_o

so_o understand_v it_o thus_o thou_o shall_v kindle_v no_o fire_n that_o be_v to_o do_v ordinary_a common_a &_o servile_a work_n withal_o like_v as_o common_a baker_n and_o brewares_n do_v by_o make_v

they_o shall_v kindle_v fierce_a on_o the_o sabbath_n to_o work_v about_o it_o for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n who_o allow_v a_o beast_n to_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o water_n on_o the_o sabbath_n and_o allow_v the_o jew_n to_o lift_v a_o beast_n out_o of_o the_o ditch_n on_o the_o sabbath_n &_o to_o pluck_v and_o rub_v ear_n of_o corn_n on_o the_o sabbath_n will_v forbid_v they_o to_o kindle_v

be_v understod_a so_o rigorous_o as_o if_o god_n have_v forbid_v his_o people_n to_o kindle_v a_o fire_n in_o any_o case_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o slander_n bring_v up_o upon_o

hereunto_o i_o answer_v brief_o that_o these_o text_n as_o any_o man_n may_v see_v by_o the_o context_n speak_v only_o of_o burden_n bear_v in_o a_o ordinary_a &_o common_a case_n as_o a_o servile_a

joh._n 5.8.9.10_o see_v therefore_o that_o god_n do_v not_o forbid_v a_o man_n to_o carry_v a_o burden_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o his_o necessity_n where_o be_v there_o any_o ground_n then_o here_o for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v the_o jeweish_a rest_n be_v strict_a and_o rigorouse_a i_o never_o yet_o can_v see_v but_o that_o god_n allow_v the_o jew_n as_o much_o liberty_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o he_o allow_v christianes_n and_o as_o much_o liberty_n as_o minister_n grant_v unto_o christian_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a slander_n to_o

of_o mercy_n and_o work_n of_o necessity_n may_v be_v do_v by_o the_o jew_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o well_o as_o by_o we_o christianes_n now_o loe_o these_o device_n wise_a man_n have_v to_o

neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o our_o lord_n day_n for_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n do_v not_o rest_n on_o our_o lord_n day_n no_o neither_o do_v he_o then_o bless_v &_o sanctify_v the_o

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

the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o omit_v what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o our_o church_n do_v now_o

because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o

rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o

unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o witeness_n hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o live_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n public_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n and_o so_o we_o have_v prove_v this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o one_o in_o 7_o day_n now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v his_o choice_n on_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o rest_n from_o labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v himself_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o possible_o find_v a_o more_o fit_a day_n to_o rest_n in_o then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
doubtful_a then_o when_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o our_o choice_n which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o take_v it_o be_v the_o sure_a and_o safe_a to_o make_v choice_n of_o that_o day_n whereof_o there_o be_v some_o doubt_n whither_o it_o be_v abolish_v or_o not_o we_o have_v show_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o abolish_v but_o suppose_v there_o be_v some_o doubt_n of_o it_o as_o it_o can_v be_v but_o doubt_v of_o by_o the_o stifie_v anti_n sabbatharians_n since_o that_o some_o place_n be_v lest_o for_o doubt_v be_v it_o that_o we_o doubt_v never_o so_o little_a of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v better_a and_o safe_a to_o keep_v it_o then_o to_o keep_v any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o neglect_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v once_o command_v of_o god_n and_o it_o can_v be_v clear_o prove_v that_o ever_o god_n countermand_v it_o here_o upon_o some_o scruple_n at_o least_o must_v remain_v in_o man_n conscience_n touch_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o shall_v we_o make_v sure_a work_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v nothing_o against_o we_o out_o of_o his_o four_o con_v but_o do_v otherwise_o we_o shall_v lay_v in_o perpetual_a doubt_n &_o fear_n that_o we_o live_v in_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o come_v so_o much_o be_v speak_v for_o this_o point_n the_o which_o i_o have_v insist_v upon_o not_o so_o much_o hereby_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v the_o sabbath_n for_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v after_o the_o next_o section_n by_o solid_a argument_n but_o chief_o to_o this_o end_n to_o stay_v &_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n of_o carnal_a man_n with_o carnal_a reason_n &_o with_o testemony_n and_o the_o like_a for_o some_o man_n there_o be_v i_o fear_v i_o that_o can_v wish_v in_o

therefore_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v unto_o such_o man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n in_o religiouse_a &_o divine_a respect_n but_o also_o in_o
