then_o make_v know_v unto_o a_o natural_a man_n hereto_o i_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v not_o material_a whither_o the_o duty_n be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o after_o

it_o and_o subscrib_n unto_o it_o after_o it_o be_v find_v out_o for_o man_n be_v as_o well_o bind_v by_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o observe_v those_o duty_n which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n allow_v and_o approve_v be_v teach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o observe_v those_o which_o be_v never_o teach_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o find_n of_o they_o nor_o the_o manner_n of_o get_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o that_o bind_v but_o it_o be_v the_o approbation_n and_o allowance_n of_o they_o that_o bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o they_o and_o which_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n in_o a_o man_n wherefore_o what_o duty_n soever_o be_v prescribe_v we_o in_o the_o decalogue_n if_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v oppose_v it_o as_o harmful_a &_o incommodiouse_a but_o do_v rather_o allow_v of_o it_o justify_v it_o &_o approve_v of_o it_o as_o good_a that_o duty_n must_v needs_o be_v moral_a &_o practise_v by_o we_o or_o else_o we_o bewray_v ourselves_o to_o be_v unnatural_a &_o to_o put_v out_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o &_o to_o go_v against_o conscience_n for_o we_o will_v refuse_v to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n in_o we_o allow_v of_o and_o subscribe_v unto_o as_o good_a to_o be_v do_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o minor_n in_o the_o minor_a i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o prove_v any_o thing_n but_o this_o to_o wit_n that_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n can_v oppose_v god_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o must_v allow_v of_o it_o as_o good_a to_o be_v observe_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o

of_o all_o law_n and_o ordinance_n make_v by_o a_o deity_n 2._o for_o the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n 1._o as_o it_o be_v keep_v in_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o

by_o labour_n it_o help_v the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n and_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o society_n and_o common_a weal_n can_v well_o subsist_v without_o for_o we_o see_v beside_o weekly_a sabbath_n that_o common_a weal_n do_v maintain_v sundry_a anniversary_n holy_a day_n and_o therefore_o at_o the_o least_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o be_v count_v needful_a for_o rest_n wherefore_o suppose_v we_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n be_v change_v into_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n sabbath_n since_o the_o common_a weal_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o one_o day_n in_o

a_o good_a and_o benefit_n come_v unto_o the_o common_a weal_n both_o for_o their_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o a_o word_n do_v not_o nature_n teach_v we_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o show_v mercy_n unto_o servant_n and_o allow_v they_o one_o day_n in_o 7_o to_o rest_n in_o from_o their_o painful_a labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v themselves_o and_o so_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o labour_n again_o on_o the_o next_o six_o day_n and_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v of_o god_n choice_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n then_o of_o man_n
