day_n of_o 24_o hour_n be_v the_o long_a continuance_n at_o once_o that_o the_o natural_a ability_n of_o all_o mankind_n general_o be_v able_a to_o bestow_v upon_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o

the_o continuance_n so_o notorious_o interrupt_v and_o end_v from_o a_o necessity_n of_o nature_n make_v though_o also_o if_o there_o be_v a_o express_a and_o distinct_a determination_n further_o upon_o that_o second_o day_n of_o any_o continuance_n of_o time_n then_o that_o determination_n be_v not_o neither_o a_o single_a determination_n of_o the_o quoties_fw-la or_o frequency_n but_o of_o it_o and_o the_o quamdiu_fw-la or_o continuance_n joint_o as_o in_o the_o fast_a of_o ester_n three_o day_n one_o after_o another_o frequency_n xxxi_o how_o far_o nature_n determine_v the_o frequency_n and_o so_o we_o proceed_v to_o our_o second_o question_n about_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n determination_n of_o time_n namely_o about_o the_o frequency_n how_o far_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n will_v lead_v we_o towards_o a_o conclusive_a determination_n thereof_o that_o be_v of_o the_o great_a frequency_n even_o single_a without_o any_o continuance_n add_v to_o it_o and_o whether_o it_o can_v as_o well_o make_v a_o conclusive_a determination_n of_o the_o frequency_n as_o we_o have_v show_v that_o it_o do_v of_o the_o continuance_n for_o resolution_n hereof_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v fair_a to_o affirm_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v according_a to_o the_o natural_a division_n of_o time_n and_o so_o the_o natural_a revolution_n distinct_o observable_a by_o natural_a rule_n even_o without_o art_n among_o all_o man_n all_o the_o world_n over_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v determine_v even_o conclusive_o the_o frequency_n of_o every_o day_n that_o be_v so_o often_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v require_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n from_o all_o man_n by_o way_n of_o command_n but_o no_o often_o though_o not_o forbid_v often_o but_o only_o seldome_a because_o nature_n seem_v to_o have_v no_o frequenter_a distinct_a revolution_n than_o a_o day_n and_o that_o it_o have_v and_o be_v able_a to_o observe_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o and_z according_o be_v able_a to_o worship_n god_n even_o solemn_o so_o often_o there_o be_v no_o impediment_n imaginable_a why_o within_o the_o revolution_n of_o every_o day_n a_o man_n may_v not_o give_v god_n some_o solemn_a worship_n but_o we_o say_v though_o this_o seem_v a_o fair_a assertion_n and_o suitable_a to_o what_o we_o have_v before_o of_o the_o natural_a continuance_n of_o a_o day_n yet_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v practical_o and_o ethical_o as_o we_o do_v partly_o before_o of_o the_o continuance_n we_o must_v deliver_v ourselves_o somewhat_o otherwise_o and_o indeed_o so_o we_o must_v also_o in_o a_o mere_a physical_a or_o astronomical_a consideration_n of_o the_o revolution_n of_o a_o day_n and_o 1._o least_o xxxii_o twice_o a_o day_n at_o least_o then_o in_o that_o consideration_n we_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n if_o it_o make_v any_o conclusive_a determination_n of_o the_o frequency_n of_o time_n for_o god_n worship_n it_o must_v be_v of_o twice_o every_o day_n because_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o twofold_a revolution_n or_o frequency_n observable_a in_o every_o day_n naturally_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n in_o each_o of_o which_o it_o be_v undoubted_o possible_a to_o tender_v to_o god_n some_o worship_n and_o so_o it_o be_v practical_o a_o man_n first_o wake_v and_o his_o lie_v down_o to_o sleep_v be_v two_o distinct_a observable_a revolution_n appliable_a to_o god_n worship_n we_o do_v not_o now_o here_o speak_v of_o the_o quando_fw-la whether_o nature_n law_n do_v command_v to_o take_v the_o first_o time_n of_o wake_v and_o the_o last_o time_n before_o sleep_n for_o solemn_a worship_n that_o may_v be_v consider_v afterward_o but_o we_o say_v that_o these_o two_o be_v distinct_a and_o observable_a revolution_n of_o time_n in_o every_o day_n and_o so_o each_o of_o they_o afford_v a_o remarkable_a possibility_n of_o worship_v god_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n upon_o the_o former_a ground_n of_o god_n be_v our_o happiness_n and_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o all_o our_o time_n can_v but_o determine_v both_o those_o time_n to_o make_v a_o conclusive_a determination_n of_o the_o frequency_n if_o any_o such_o may_v be_v make_v or_o at_o least_o a_o initial_a determination_n that_o be_v so_o often_o at_o least_o as_o twice_o in_o every_o day_n once_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o once_o towards_o night_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v determine_v for_o solemn_a worship_n to_o every_o man_n this_o we_o mean_v of_o such_o day_n as_o we_o call_v work_v day_n out_o of_o which_o nature_n law_n determine_v twice_o every_o such_o day_n to_o tender_v some_o solemn_a worship_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o it_o do_v the_o whole_a of_o one_o day_n in_o a_o man_n life_n as_o we_o discourse_v before_o of_o which_o day_n or_o any_o such_o day_n we_o speak_v not_o in_o this_o argument_n because_o though_o the_o particular_a duty_n be_v divers_a on_o such_o a_o day_n and_o some_o to_o be_v repeat_v twice_o or_o often_o as_o prayer_n yet_o this_o in_o the_o whole_a be_v count_v but_o once_o one_o continuance_n because_o no_o worldly_a thing_n unless_o by_o reason_n of_o present_a necessity_n for_o which_o a_o reservation_n be_v make_v may_v come_v in_o and_o interrupt_v the_o continuance_n at_o all_o but_o now_o therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o twice_o a_o day_n we_o speak_v of_o those_o day_n which_o be_v main_o for_o worldly_a business_n that_o even_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v so_o by_o god_n allowance_n and_o appointment_n b._n n._n b._n whether_o in_o nature_n or_o scripture_n yet_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v determine_v a_o double_a frequency_n of_o religious_a service_n every_o such_o day_n of_o every_o man_n life_n only_o we_o say_v not_o that_o any_o continuance_n be_v
