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 some_o other_o end_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o as_o the_o rest_n enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o con_v tend_v unto_o the_o furtherance_n of_o god_n worship_n so_o do_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n there_o also_o enjoin_v &_o as_o the_o rest_n from_o labour_n tend_v unto_o mercy_n towards_o man_n &_o beast_n so_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n tend_v unto_o mercy_n also_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v moral_a &_o perpetual_a because_o it_o tend_v unto_o the_o furtherance_n of_o god_n public_a as_o well_o as_o private_a wor_n hip_n and_o service_n &_o because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n both_o to_o man_n &_o beast_n now_o all_o work_n in_o the_o decalogue_n tend_v to_o promote_v god_n service_n be_v moral_a and_o all_o work_n therein_o command_v which_o be_v work_n of_o mercy_n be_v moral_a also_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o divine_n and_o so_o much_o for_o this_o answer_n a_o other_o answer_v some_o may_v frame_v say_v the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o necessary_o tend_v unto_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n &_o a_o work_n of_o mercy_n &c_n &c_n since_o these_o may_v be_v further_v also_o by_o a_o other_o day_n but_o contrariwise_o 1._o this_o answer_n be_v absurd_a &_o thus_o i_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o twofould_a necessity_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n which_o be_v absolute_a as_o when_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n can_v stand_v unless_o it_o have_v such_o a_o day_n etc._n etc._n and_o there_o be_v a_o

of_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o first_o respect_n than_o these_o absurdety_n they_o fale_v into_o 1._o that_o they_o may_v reject_v the_o 8_o com._n thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v for_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o this_o 8_o come_v shall_v be_v retain_v among_o we_o since_o covet_v a_o other_o man_n good_n in_o heart_n be_v forbid_v in_o the_o 10_o

&_o 8_o commandment_n as_o not_o absolute_o necessary_a because_o the_o magistrate_n may_v make_v law_n against_o murder_n adultery_n and_o stealth_n if_o man_n will_v reject_v god_n seven_o day_n which_o he_o have_v sanctify_v &_o command_v because_o man_n may_v find_v and_o set_v up_o a_o other_o day_n then_o may_v they_o reject_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o 6_o the_o seven_o &_o the_o 8_o commandment_n also_o 2._o an_o other_o absurdety_n they_o fale_v into_o which_o be_v this_o that_o thus_o they_o may_v reject_v the_o set_n a_o part_n of_o a_o whole_a day_n for_o rest_n from_o labour_n and_o for_o god_n worship_n for_o both_o these_o may_v be_v do_v in_o half_a a_o day_n or_o in_o some_o few_o hour_n of_o a_o day_n yea_o they_o may_v reject_v the_o weekly_a sanctification_n of_o a_o day_n unto_o god_n and_o keep_v but_o one_o day_n in_o a_o month_n or_o in_o a_o year_n for_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o god_n worship_n &_o as_o a_o work_n of_o mercy_n either_o to_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n or_o one_o in_o every_o week_n 3._o an_o other_o absurdety_n they_o fale_v into_o which_o be_v this_o they_o may_v aswell_o reject_v the_o element_n of_o wine_n the_o sacrament_n say_v wine_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o to_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o necessary_a unto_o god_n worship_n for_o common_a beer_n may_v be_v

the_o day_n &_o set_v out_o a_o other_o day_n for_o the_o same_o duty_n but_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o change_v their_o sabbath_n day_n as_o all_o confess_v therefore_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n necessary_a in_o some_o sort_n 2._o if_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o necessary_a in_o some_o sort_n unto_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o work_v of_o mercy_n in_o refresh_a man_n and_o beast_n after_o they_o be_v spend_v in_o labour_n than_o will_v not_o god_n have_v express_o command_v it_o for_o those_o end_n but_o god_n do_v express_o command_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o those_o end_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o four_o com._n deut._n 5.14_o exod._n 23.12_o mark_n 2.27_o therefore_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n necessary_a in_o some_o sort_n &c_n &c_n why_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v express_o command_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o name_n for_o his_o sabbath_n the_o 8_o day_n for_o circumcision_n &_o the_o 14_o day_n for_o the_o passover_o when_o he_o

therefore_o be_v the_o precise_a time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n necessary_a 6._o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n man_n be_v not_o only_o to_o afford_v rest_n unto_o their_o weary_a servant_n but_o also_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

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

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
