as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o jew_n to_o train_v they_o up_o like_o child_n jew_n the_o use_n of_o ceremony_n unto_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o pedagogie_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o

a_o part_n of_o that_o law_n perpetual_a that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v perpetual_a that_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n be_v also_o perpetual_a now_o that_o it_o be_v here_o command_v and_o be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o moral_a law_n i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o blunt_a to_o deny_v and_o that_o this_o law_n be_v perpetual_a appear_v first_o in_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n for_o nature_n the_o moral_a law_n the_o same_o with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n what_o else_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o a_o divine_a rule_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n more_o or_o less_o by_o god_n himself_o by_o which_o they_o know_v in_o general_a what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v evil_a now_o that_o this_o law_n be_v the_o very_a self_n same_o with_o it_o who_o see_v not_o only_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n that_o the_o one_o be_v write_v in_o stone_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v only_o write_v in_o the_o stony_a heart_n of_o man_n which_o difference_n be_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o substance_n they_o be_v all_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 4._o 14._o say_v that_o the_o gentile_n which_o be_v without_o the_o law_n understand_v write_v in_o stone_n yet_o do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n which_o as_o he_o say_v show_v the_o effect_n or_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n which_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o

not_o the_o philosopher_n themselves_o as_o plato_n pythagoras_n and_o the_o rest_n write_v whole_a discourse_n of_o his_o nature_n attribute_n and_o worship_n which_o if_o a_o man_n desire_v to_o

2_o but_o now_o as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v change_v without_o any_o razure_n of_o the_o commandment_n so_o also_o it_o be_v meet_v change_v it_o be_v
