it_o and_o corrupt_v it_o and_o shall_v we_o think_v the_o gentile_n &_o heathen_a that_o know_v not_o god_n have_v retain_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n perfect_o without_o forget_v any_o thing_n

this_o be_v a_o unwarrantable_a enlargement_n of_o the_o word_n law_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o general_a word_n must_v be_v restrain_v unto_o the_o subject_a matter_n in_o hand_n as_o in_o

for_o our_o saviour_n have_v ratify_v the_o law_n in_o general_a in_o v._o 18.19_o than_o he_o descend_v unto_o particular_n givinge_v example_n in_o the_o 6_o come_v touch_v murder_n as_o in_o v._o

since_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o duration_n &_o continuance_n of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o in_o this_o case_n he_o will_v join_v the_o moral_a and_o

&_o that_o in_o such_o solemn_a a_o manner_n with_o such_o a_o asseveration_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v last_v &_o continue_v yet_o two_o year_n long_o further_o if_o this_o answer_n &_o exposition_n be_v justifiable_a then_o by_o the_o same_o answer_n may_v we_o now_o reject_v a_o great_a part_n of_o christ_n sermon_n in_o the_o mount_n &_o especial_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the_o moral_a
be_v suppose_v of_o divine_a institution_n so_o necessary_a than_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n as_o without_o it_o religion_n &_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v of_o a_o continual_a consumption_n now_o since_o there_o be_v no_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n but_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o prevent_v the_o decay_n of_o religion_n &_o to_o support_v &_o further_a god_n worship_n &_o service_n thus_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o labour_n on_o

&_o beast_n yea_o in_o a_o sort_n necessary_a also_o &_o thus_o much_o of_o this_o argument_n argum_fw-la xxiiii_o because_o many_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o law_n &_o light_n of_o nature_n hold_v that_o only_a to_o be_v moral_a in_o the_o decalogue_n which_o be_v ratify_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o such_o therefore_o i_o frame_v this_o argument_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o duty_n which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o

come_v bound_v neither_o until_o they_o be_v deliver_v on_o mount_n sinai_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o law_n have_v not_o ever_o ten_o commandment_n in_o it_o and_o that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n 2._o it_o be_v most_o strange_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v a_o example_n more_o than_o 2000_o year_n before_o any_o shall_v follow_v it_o for_o wherefore_o be_v example_n but_o for_o to_o be_v imitate_v 3._o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n mark_n 2.27_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o it_o be_v make_v at_o the_o creation_n for_o a_o example_n useless_a but_o for_o man_n use_n as_o to_o rest_v in_o it_o etc._n etc._n 4._o can_v any_o man_n think_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n at_o the_o creation_n and_o then_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v profane_v and_o pollute_v for_o 2000_o year_n after_o until_o the_o isralite_n come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n or_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v a_o sabbath_n day_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o who_o be_v not_o a_o people_n distinct_a 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 sacrifice_n and_o no_o sabbath_n that_o they_o have_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o no_o time_n allot_v for_o it_o or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n from_o the_o creation_n have_v no_o day_n set_v apart_o for_o a_o thankful_a &_o holy_a remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n until_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n ii_o my_o second_o reason_n 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 contrary_a unto_o jam._n 2.10_o &_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o divine_n 2._o if_o the_o four_o con_v be_v not_o as_o ancient_a as_o the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o it_o must_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 wilderness_n of_o sin_n exo._n 16._o which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o to_o sanctify_v it_o be_v well_o know_v unto_o the_o jew_n 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
