A16915	Three questions ansvvered I. Question. What should our meaning be, when after the reading of the fourth Commandement, we pray; Lord incline our hearts to keepe this law? II. Question. How shall the fourth Commandement, being deliuered in such forme of words, binde vs to sanctifie any day, but onely the seauenth, the day wherein God rested, & which the Iewes sanctified? III. Question. How shall it appeare to be the law of nature to sanctifie one day in every weeke?	Broad, Thomas, 1577 or 8-1635.	1622 (1622)	STC 3806; ESTC S106710	26,614	43

sanctify_v one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o thus_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v choose_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n command_v they_o after_o 6_o day_n labour_n to_o sanctify_v the_o 7_o day_n reason_n convince_v or_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v we_o christian_n now_o his_o church_n shall_v do_v in_o some_o sort_n as_o the_o israelite_n by_o the_o 4_o commandment_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v heretofore_o the_o 4_o commandment_n bind_v we_o to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o be_v it_o bind_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v we_o shall_v sanctify_v one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n see_v as_o thereby_o it_o appear_v he_o once_o appoint_v the_o israelite_n after_o 6_o day_n labour_n to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o same_o reason_n in_o part_n still_o continue_v to_o end_v this_o matter_n be_v it_o a_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n set_v forth_o long_o ago_o in_o these_o word_n remember_v to_o fast_o upon_o thursday_n we_o in_o these_o time_n fare_v well_o upon_o thursday_n &_o fast_v upon_o friday_n some_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o the_o forename_a law_n bind_v we_o so_o to_o do_v &_o unless_o

this_o be_v see_v the_o statute_n speak_v of_o thursday_n how_o can_v such_o a_o statute_n bind_v we_o to_o fast_o upon_o friday_n now_o how_o the_o like_a unto_o this_o may_v be_v i_o have_v show_v with_o the_o best_a skill_n i_o have_v and_o if_o any_o think_v my_o skill_n herein_o defective_a and_o say_v never_o any_o law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n do_v bind_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o i_o must_v confess_v it_o in_o my_o knowledge_n but_o do_v ever_o any_o other_o law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n appoint_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v on_o one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o bind_v to_o do_v it_o on_o another_o day_n or_o appoint_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o one_o place_n and_o bind_v to_o do_v it_o in_o another_o place_n such_o a_o law_n if_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o such_o do_v bind_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o or_o if_o any_o have_v more_o skill_n to_o answer_v this_o question_n i_o great_o desire_v he_o to_o show_v his_o skill_n the_o question_n be_v such_o as_o we_o will_v think_v every_o one_o of_o the_o mean_a understanding_n will_v demand_v it_o first_o of_o all_o and_o it_o be_v make_v a_o needful_a question_n to_o be_v answer_v by_o reason_n of_o those_o strange_a interpretation_n of_o god_n word_n aforemencion_v i_o mean_v that_o the_o sabbath_n and_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o the_o four_o

command_v nor_o appoint_v what_o one_o certain_a day_n shall_v be_v keep_v among_o seven_o etc._n etc._n consider_v well_o of_o the_o matter_n and_o thou_o will_v say_v that_o i_o be_o not_o move_v without_o cause_n iii_o question_n how_o shall_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n answer_n almighty_a god_n have_v in_o 6_o day_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n rest_v upon_o the_o 7_o day_n 2.3_o gen._n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o sanctify_v it_o as_o be_v say_v gen_n 2._o hence_o now_o some_o will_v gather_v that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n but_o indeed_o it_o will_v hence_o rather_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v the_o precise_a seven_o day_n upon_o these_o premise_n god_n make_v the_o world_n in_o six_o day_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sanctify_v it_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n this_o inference_n shall_v rather_o be_v make_v therefore_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n then_o do_v we_o most_o near_o follow_v god_n example_n when_o we_o work_v upon_o those_o very_a day_n which_o he_o wrought_v upon_o and_o sanctify_v that_o very_a day_n which_o he_o sanctify_v god_n in_o the_o beginning_n sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o near_a inference_n than_o that_o other_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o or_o week_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v touch_v the_o place_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n among_o the_o moral_n if_o any_o will_v fetch_v a_o argument_n thence_o to_o prove_v this_o matter_n in_o the_o 2_o to_o the_o roman_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n 14._o rom._n 2_o 14._o and_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o from_o which_o text_n happy_o a_o argument_n may_v be_v fetch_v to_o prove_v as_o much_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o m._n dod_n affirm_v that_o be_v to_o have_v solemn_a time_n for_o so_o the_o gentile_n have_v but_o now_o the_o gentile_n sanctify_a not_o one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n it_o will_v rather_o follow_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o have_v a_o place_n appoint_v than_o one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n appoint_v for_o public_a meeting_n the_o gentile_n have_v temple_n 11.14_o 1._o cor._n 11.14_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 11._o s._n paul_n have_v these_o word_n do_v not_o even_a nature_n itself_o teach_v you_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v long_a hair_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n unto_o he_o now_o shall_v i_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n do_v not_o even_o nature_n itself_o teach_v we_o to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n for_o one_o that_o will_v affirm_v many_o i_o think_v at_o first_o will_v deny_v that_o nature_n teach_v it_o they_o they_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n they_o have_v never_o any_o natural_a inclination_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o but_o though_o at_o first_o every_o man_n will_v be_v ready_a thus_o to_o say_v yet_o upon_o consideration_n happy_o it_o will_v seem_v the_o best_a order_n and_o if_o we_o see_v by_o the_o light_n in_o we_o whereof_o christ_n speak_v mat._n 6._o day_n though_o it_o be_v not_o by_o any_o express_a command_n from_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n but_o by_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n as_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o many_o great_a divine_n &_o of_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o homily_n that_o we_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n rather_o than_o another_o day_n in_o the_o week_n yet_o can_v i_o maintain_v that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o sanctify_v this_o very_a day_n for_o it_o be_v the_o best_a order_n and_o this_o i_o think_v no_o man_n of_o judgement_n will_v once_o offer_v to_o deny_v unless_o perhaps_o because_o some_o hold_v a_o superstitious_a conceit_n of_o the_o day_n that_o it_o be_v the_o best_a order_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n then_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o nature_n do_v teach_v we_o so_o to_o do_v let_v all_o thing_n say_v paul_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n 1._o cor._n 14._o this_o command_n of_o paul_n be_v the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n do_v not_o even_o nature_n itself_o teach_v we_o as_o much_o the_o best_a order_n be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n this_o be_v it_o then_o which_o i_o say_v if_o reason_n the_o light_n in_o we_o or_o nature_n for_o these_o i_o take_v for_o the_o same_o teach_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a order_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n then_o be_v it_o to_o be_v hold_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o to_o do_v but_o reason_n the_o light_n in_o we_o nature_n what_o the_o philosopher_n term_n reason_n christ_n term_v the_o light_n in_o we_o and_o paul_n nature_n or_o nature_n teach_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a order_n to_o sanctify_v one_o day_n in_o every_o week_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o to_o do_v this_o be_v the_o only_a argument_n to_o prove_v this_o matter_n but_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o i_o think_v
