his_o sanctify_v it_o or_o set_v that_o time_n apart_o from_o the_o common_a use_n of_o man_n for_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o his_o creator_n and_o then_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v he_o do_v immediate_o reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o to_o adam_n that_o he_o may_v answer_v the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o he_o and_o to_o make_v it_o a_o pattern_n for_o aster_n age_n but_o some_o have_v say_v that_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n on_o which_o god_n rest_v from_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v write_v by_o way_n of_o anticipation_n of_o the_o order_n of_o time_n in_o moses_n sacred_a history_n and_o so_o tho'_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n yet_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o sanctify_v for_o man_n till_o after_o israel_n come_n out_o of_o egypt_n answer_n this_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o groundless_a notion_n that_o some_o have_v take_v up_o as_o will_v appear_v from_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o reason_n follow_v for_o 1._o it_o be_v say_v that_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n end_v his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o god_n seven_o day_n on_o which_o he_o rest_v from_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v that_o same_o seven_o day_n on_o which_o he_o end_v his_o work_n else_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v he_o rest_v from_o his_o work_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n if_o his_o seven_o day_n rest_n be_v not_o immediate_o aster_v it_o be_v end_v 2._o it_o be_v say_v god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v now_o what_o seven_o day_n can_v this_o be_v which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctisied_a but_o the_o same_o seven_o day_n on_o which_o he_o end_v his_o work_n from_o which_o sense_n for_o any_o to_o invert_v the_o text_n be_v a_o gross_a and_o paspable_a wrong_n to_o it_o for_o god_n sanctify_v 〈◊〉_d because_o in_o 〈◊〉_d he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n note_v it_o well_o that_o seven_o day_n in_o which_o god_n have_v rest_v before_o moses_n write_v this_o history_n be_v the_o same_o he_o sanctify_v that_o man_n shall_v bound_v his_o six_o work_a day_n with_o a_o sabbath_n 3._o no_o anticipation_n be_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n unless_o a_o just_a necessity_n compel_v it_o 2d_o h._n scursby_n discovise_n of_o the_o sabbath_n page_n 23._o 2d_o for_o otherwise_o the_o order_n of_o history_n may_v be_v invert_v at_o man_n pleasure_n and_o therefore_o the_o reason_n why_o anticipation_n be_v allow_v in_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v because_o there_o be_v some_o necessity_n or_o other_o arise_v to_o preserve_v the_o verity_n or_o sense_n of_o scripture_n but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v plead_v in_o this_o case_n therefore_o no_o anticipation_n to_o be_v intrude_v on_o the_o text._n 4._o anticipation_n be_v only_o to_o be_v allow_v in_o any_o text_n when_o either_o the_o same_o or_o some_o other_o text_n discover_v that_o so_o it_o be_v but_o we_o presume_v no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v assign_v relate_v to_o the_o thing_n under_o consideration_n therefore_o none_o be_v here_o to_o be_v admit_v sect_n iii_o here_o i_o come_v to_o open_v and_o explain_v the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o command_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v observe_v and_o because_o i_o find_v that_o some_o have_v take_v up_o a_o opinion_n and_o i_o conceive_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o escape_v the_o argument_n which_o some_o have_v draw_v from_o the_o four_o commandment_n for_o keep_v the_o jewish_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n do_v assert_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o the_o law_n as_o give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n bind_v to_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n or_o that_o nothing_o of_o it_o be_v oblige_v to_o we_o but_o what_o be_v give_v forth_o again_o and_o confirm_v to_o we_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o remove_v therefore_o this_o mistake_n and_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v of_o themselves_o bind_v to_o all_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o holy_a life_n thò_fw-la not_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o

dispense_v with_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o this_o first_o pattern_n by_o a_o law_n to_o israel_n as_o he_o do_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o divorcement_n dispense_v with_o the_o
