of_o the_o four_o comm_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o reason_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v god_n shall_v persuade_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o

then_o he_o will_v have_v a_o account_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n not_o of_o piece_n and_o parcel_n of_o it_o as_o we_o please_v thus_o we_o see_v what_o the_o duty_n of_o minister_n be_v namely_o to_o

this_o which_o they_o count_v the_o least_o of_o god_n commandment_n &_o urge_v they_o to_o keep_v every_o jot_n and_o title_n of_o god_n law_n &_o so_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n day_n they_o teach_v

day_n than_o friday_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n now_o i_o trust_v no_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n keep_v friday_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n no_o nor_o yet_o that_o they_o

do_v in_o it_o &_o like_v as_o they_o keep_v their_o friday_n as_o we_o have_v show_v in_o the_o former_a section_n 3._o since_o those_o foremost_a age_n of_o the_o church_n it_o have_v be_v keep_v by_o all_o christian_a church_n be_v romish_n but_o as_o a_o other_o holy_a day_n until_o luther_n and_o many_o year_n since_o for_o until_o luther_n or_o thereabouts_o our_o church_n have_v

than_o we_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v jump_v and_o agree_v with_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o constantins_n time_n &_o how_o both_o in_o constantins_n time_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n since_o until_o luther_n time_n the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v account_v but_o as_o a_o holy_a day_n the_o contrary_a whereto_o can_v be_v show_v thus_o you_o

so_o long_o what_o 1600_o year_n they_o bewray_v their_o own_o error_n &_o ignorance_n to_o speak_v so_o for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o church_n never_o account_v it_o or_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o

&_o so_o i_o come_v to_o my_o first_o argument_n where_o by_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v now_o still_o in_o force_n argum_fw-la i._o my_o first_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n but_o no_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n therefore_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n here_o be_v as_o you_o see_v three_o propositiones_fw-la if_o the_o two_o foremost_a be_v prove_v the_o three_o &_o last_o must_v be_v grant_v as_o follow_v necessary_o i_o be_o therefore_o now_o to_o prove_v the_o ij_o foremost_a proposition_n and_o first_o for_o the_o first_o proposition_n or_o mayor_n to_o wit_n that_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v 1._o because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o day_n in_o question_n betwixt_o we_o but_o these_o two_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o the_o new_a sabbath_n there_o be_v no_o three_o day_n and_o therefore_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n of_o necessity_n and_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n every_o man_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o 2._o i_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o sabbath_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n at_o all_o in_o the_o church_n this_o be_v a_o heinouse_a impiety_n yea_o worse_o than_o a_o savage_a brutishness_n 3._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o all_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o man_n even_o to_o the_o church_n wherein_o we_o live_v for_o our_o church_n acknowledge_v a_o sabbath_n as_o due_a unto_o god_n &_o she_o according_o give_v he_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n weekly_o 4._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o maintain_v one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o profanly_a &_o impious_o live_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o of_o god_n ten_o commandment_n by_o name_n the_o four_o come_v for_o if_o we_o deny_v both_o these_o day_n then_o do_v we_o neither_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n nor_o the_o sabbath_n day_n all_o divine_v confess_v that_o the_o four_o come_v injoin_v a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o though_o not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n so_o then_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o the_o old_a day_n or_o the_o new_a day_n or_o else_o he_o live_v in_o the_o sinful_a breach_n of_o the_o four_o come_v weekly_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n fear_v god_n may_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o because_o a_o man_n can_v defend_v this_o day_n in_o faith_n &_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o now_o it_o behove_v every_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n to_o look_v to_o the_o government_n of_o his_o tongue_n that_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o defence_n of_o any_o thing_n unless_o he_o can_v do_v it_o in_o faith_n now_o that_o a_o man_n can_v speak_v for_o this_o lord_n day_n or_o new_a sabbath_n in_o faith_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o because_o he_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o faith_n &_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o its_o fundation_n it_o be_v not_o faith_n but_o fancy_n superstition_n and_o presumption_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n to_o ground_n &_o find_v his_o faith_n upon_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o 1._o because_o christ_n have_v leave_v no_o commandment_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o

of_o never_o 2000_o year_n after_o and_o not_o for_o the_o patriarch_n also_o who_o live_v before_o the_o flood_n or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o flood_n have_v

to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o the_o four_o come_v must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o nine_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n for_o the_o decalogue_n be_v hold_v of_o all_o to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o world_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v for_o else_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v not_o link_v together_o as_o a_o chain_n of_o many_o link_n for_o one_o link_n to_o wit_n the_o four_o in_o midst_n of_o the_o chain_n shall_v be_v want_v

be_v absurd_o suppose_v that_o the_o decalogue_n have_v not_o always_o 10_o commandment_n in_o it_o as_o it_o have_v deut._n 10.4_o if_o then_o the_o four_o come_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o the_o sabbath_n therein_o command_v must_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v for_o antiquity_n from_o the_o creation_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n until_o the_o law_n be_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o or_o at_o soon_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n exo_n 16.1.23_o well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v not_o soon_o mention_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o soon_o in_o use_n the_o law_n against_o murder_n it_o be_v not_o mention_v at_o the_o soon_o until_o after_o the_o murder_n of_o abel_n genes_n 4.15_o but_o will_v it_o thereof_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n against_o murder_n before_o kaine_n kill_v habel_n we_o know_v many_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o be_v not_o record_v for_o else_o the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n joh._n 21.25_o on_o the_o contrary_a for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v in_o use_n exo._n 16.23_o before_o the_o four_o come_v be_v give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n ex._n 20.1.8_o it_o be_v therefore_o the_o most_o lik_o that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o creation_n for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o its_o first_o original_n at_o mount_n sinai_n when_o can_v it_o be_v think_v to_o have_v its_o begin_n but_o at_o the_o creation_n together_o with_o the_o other_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n iii_o my_o three_o reason_n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o we_o find_v not_o the_o spiritual_a work_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n particular_o express_v in_o the_o four_o come_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o nor_o yet_o in_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o same_o law_n before_o in_o the_o

before_o either_o of_o these_o law_n be_v write_v exod._n 20._o or_o exod._n 16.5.23.28_o otherwise_o god_n himself_o will_v in_o some_o of_o these_o text_n have_v express_v particular_o unto_o they_o after_o what_o manner_n and_o where_o withal_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v this_o day_n the_o same_o be_v also_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o four_o come_v remember_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o signify_v that_o they_o know_v before_o and_o can_v cale_fw-la it_o to_o mind_n again_o how_o to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o touch_v this_o point_n the_o lord_n need_v not_o say_v any_o more_o unto_o they_o but_o remember_v it_o etc._n etc._n i_o have_v often_o marvel_v in_o myself_o why_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o punctual_o &_o express_o to_o mention_v the_o corporal_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o rest_v from_o bodily_a labour_n and_o be_v so_o silent_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v exod._n 20._o or_o exo._n 16._o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n long_o before_o in_o the_o church_n &_o in_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o man_n before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v the_o other_o morales_n in_o the_o decalogue_n so_o as_o they_o know_v how_o to_o sanctify_v the_o day_n and_o with_o what_o duty_n i_o confess_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n use_v the_o word_n sanctify_v in_o the_o four_o come_v which_o do_v in_o general_n imply_v the_o particular_a mean_n and_o way_n of_o sanctify_v the_o day_n but_o it_o do_v not_o
and_o leisure_n to_o conclude_v since_o this_o dispensation_n tend_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o also_o imitate_v the_o apostle_n let_v it_o obtain_v the_o most_o favourable_a

than_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n for_o these_o begin_v but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o begin_v before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o because_o god_n sanctify_v and_o

that_o also_o by_o precedent_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o destination_n only_o but_o that_o be_v holy_a by_o consecration_n also_o 3._o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a in_o themselves_o the_o one_o be_v once_o every_o week_n the_o other_o once_o every_o year_n 4._o because_o god_n place_v the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o first_o table_n thereof_o but_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v exclude_v thence_o and_o never_o come_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n 5._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o and_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o belong_v unto_o all_o man_n alike_o but_o so_o be_v it_o not_o with_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o

&_o to_o the_o redemption_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o creation_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n we_o here_o speak_v for_o it_o differ_v from_o those_o

it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o thing_n past_a &_o do_v before_o as_o of_o the_o creation_n so_o that_o this_o sabbath_n differ_v from_o those_o abolish_v sabbath_n as_o far_o as_o thing_n past_a do_v differ_v from_o thing_n to_o come_v so_o then_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o any_o thing_n once_o make_v a_o help_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o creation_n be_v ever_o abolish_v &_o indeed_o

be_v plain_a by_o the_o common_a argument_n in_o every_o man_n mouth_n for_o when_o they_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n they_o thus_o argue_v if_o the_o jew_n

confess_v it_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v institute_v for_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o much_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o man_n next_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v it_o by_o divine_a testimony_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o purpose_n see_v ex._n 31.17_o where_o the_o lord_n speake_v of_o our_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o of_o our_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n say_v thus_o it_o

seven_o day_n rest_n be_v a_o sign_n between_o i_o &_o you_o of_o my_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o seven_o day_n rest_n thus_o the_o sense_n must_v be_v render_v if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n as_o they_o

that_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o so_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o still_o that_o christ_n ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o

of_o fly_v &_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n more_o than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v not_o

i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o true_a necessity_n upon_o we_o to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o a_o season_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n with_o our_o

of_o our_o brethren_n &_o first_o of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o touch_v our_o body_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n i_o shall_v make_v necessity_n appear_v two_o way_n the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n sabbath_n than_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o a_o week_n to_o provide_v for_o our_o body_n and_o to_o compass_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o for_o when_o we_o have_v keep_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n the_o magistrate_n will_v compel_v we_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n to_o keep_v the_o sunday_n also_o &_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o every_o week_n or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o now_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v 6_o day_n in_o every_o week_n ordenary_o or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o because_o else_o god_n will_v not_o have_v allow_v man_n 6_o day_n to_o work_v in_o for_o himself_o &_o have_v take_v but_o one_o for_o his_o worship_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.8_o now_o since_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o we_o have_v 6_o day_n

we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n than_o we_o offend_v the_o magistrate_n and_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n &_o hereupon_o will_v follow_v imprisonment_n of_o body_n &_o consequent_o poverty_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v imprison_v he_o must_v neglect_v his_o cale_a &_o mean_n of_o maintenance_n &_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n &_o

to_o he_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n namely_o the_o necessity_n of_o want_n poverty_n &_o hunger_n now_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o i_o will_v plead_v this_o kind_n of_o necessity_n of_o all_o other_o therefore_o i_o will_v strengthen_v it_o and_o that_o by_o the_o allowance_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o practice_v of_o his_o

6.1_o which_o work_v they_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v a_o little_a hunger_n and_o christ_n justify_v this_o action_n now_o if_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o

&_o here_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o thing_n stand_v yet_o it_o will_v pine_v our_o soul_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o two_o respect_n

you_o know_v that_o to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v require_v the_o help_n of_o the_o minister_n luk._n 4.16_o act._n 15.21_o to_o go_v before_o the_o people_n in_o the_o

you_o say_v you_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o place_n or_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n well_o and_o so_o do_v we_o too_o like_a as_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o

this_o we_o add_v that_o we_o keep_v it_o in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o the_o sabbath_n now_o here_o they_o leave_v we_o they_o will_v not_o say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n sake_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v renounce_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o not_o keep_v it_o for_o itself_o sake_n albeit_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passeover_n yet_o we_o keep_v it_o not_o for_o the_o passeover_n sake_n but_o for_o its_o on_o own_o sake_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v advance_v the_o passeover_n above_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v regard_v for_o itself_o sake_n for_o example_n when_o the_o old_a king_n be_v dead_a than_o the_o new_a king_n his_o heier_n rule_n in_o his_o room_n and_o place_n and_o we_o obey_v the_o new_a king_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o old_a but_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n not_o for_o the_o old_a king_n sake_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o keep_v the_o new_a sabbath_n in_o room_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n suppose_v the_o old_a sabbath_n to_o be_v dead_a &_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o sake_n not_o for_o the_o

for_o a_o time_n in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n not_o for_o its_o own_o sake_n object_n four_o some_o argue_v thus_o forasmuch_o as_o those_o which_o stand_v so_o strong_o for_o the_o old_a sabbath_n do_v profane_a and_o neglect_v it_o themselves_o and_o do_v by_o this_o dispensation_n justify_v it_o as_o warrantable_a therefore_o what_o need_v we_o to_o take_v

we_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n by_o neglect_v it_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v great_a be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o it_o by_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o may_v profane_v it_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o as_o safe_o for_o we_o do_v profane_v it_o in_o grief_n of_o heart_n like_v as_o david_n do_v break_v the_o law_n of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o do_v suffer_v joab_n to_o live_v and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v and_o retain_v ceremony_n among_o believer_n after_o they_o be_v abolish_v and_o as_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n so_o as_o we_o hearty_o and_o uâ—fâ—iâ—edly_o wish_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o 2._o whilst_o we_o profane_v this_o day_n we_o free_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o by_o way_n of_o

neither_o do_v they_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o only_o hate_v god_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o vain_a be_v their_o argue_v to_o say_v they_o may_v as_o well_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o do_v let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o our_o neglect_n be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n of_o

nay_o we_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o 1._o we_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o 2._o we_o profane_v it_o but_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n only_o as_o david_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n
