that_o scripture_n which_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o you_o in_o isa_n 33.32_o be_v much_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o for_o understand_v the_o word_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n and_o they_o be_v

i_o say_v before_o that_o every_o particular_a text_n which_o be_v quote_v come_v not_o up_o full_o to_o prove_v the_o point_n but_o a_o divine_a truth_n it_o be_v beyond_o all_o contradiction_n that_o as_o psal_n 119.96_o the_o command_n be_v exceed_o broad_a contain_v a_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a treasure_n of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n nothing_o pertain_v to_o holiness_n nothing_o

thus_o you_o see_v how_o in_o truth_n of_o these_o three_o proposition_n i_o consent_v with_o you_o 4_o thly_a but_o now_o for_o the_o four_o proposition_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v

in_o this_o i_o can_v neither_o assent_v nor_o consent_n the_o reason_n of_o my_o dissent_n you_o shall_v have_v in_o its_o proper_a place_n i_o mean_v why_o i_o conceive_v that_o though_o the_o

for_o that_o purpose_n this_o i_o gather_v from_o those_o reason_n give_v to_o enforce_v obedience_n to_o the_o command_n which_o you_o say_v proper_o belong_v to_o this_o day_n and_o be_v as_o you_o

the_o proposition_n you_o lay_v down_o before_o they_o 3_o dly_z i_o observe_v and_o that_o not_o without_o some_o wonder_n that_o though_o the_o whole_a stress_n of_o all_o your_o argument_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n lay_v upon_o the_o 9_o 10_o 11_o verse_n of_o exod._n 20._o yet_o i_o find_v nothing_o at_o all_o argumentative_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o scope_n sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v to_o establish_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o in_o the_o revolution_n of_o every_o week_n to_o be_v the_o only_a day_n of_o holy_a rest_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v to_o

this_o paper_n afford_v or_o by_o these_o argument_n more_o clear_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o what_o you_o now_o assert_v will_v not_o be_v so_o general_o receive_v for_o truth_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o you_o think_v it_o aught_o and_o as_o it_o ought_v if_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n 2_o dly_z have_v observe_v these_o thing_n i_o now_o

day_n of_o seven_o but_o only_o by_o consequence_n point_v at_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o then_o to_o be_v observe_v because_o it_o be_v institute_v before_o and_o to_o continue_v till_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o be_v to_o succeed_v it_o as_o solomon_n say_v in_o the_o place_n former_o quote_v prov._n 6._o so_o david_n his_o father_n say_v before_o he_o psal_n 19.9_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v pure_a enlightneng_v the_o eye_n and_o this_o be_v the_o light_n which_o the_o father_n of_o light_n have_v give_v i_o from_o the_o commandment_n i_o shall_v shut_v up_o all_o that_o for_o the_o present_a i_o intend_v to_o say_v as_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o commandment_n with_o this_o that_o as_o the_o second_o commandment_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o entrance_n into_o this_o discourse_n may_v parallel_v with_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o require_v something_o which_o be_v superad_v to_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a in_o this_o that_o as_o the_o second_o commandment_n do_v determine_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o only_o in_o the_o general_n that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o his_o reveal_v will_n and_o under_o that_o general_n both_o old_a ordinance_n sacrifice_n circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n institute_v elsewhere_o be_v there_o require_v so_o likewise_o new_a testament_n ordinance_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v both_o comprehend_v though_o neither_o name_v so_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n both_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o and_o first_o of_o seven_o be_v comprehend_v though_o neither_o of_o they_o direct_o name_v but_o only_o one_o of_o they_o consequential_o as_o be_v say_v before_o because_o former_o institute_v so_o that_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v perpetual_o obligatory_a for_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o and_o then_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v still_o unchangeable_a thus_o the_o day_n admit_v of_o a_o change_n not_o as_o a_o ceremony_n but_o as_o a_o circumstance_n the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n be_v no_o more_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n than_o the_o change_n or_o worship_n to_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o far_o i_o add_v this_o that_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o at_o a_o very_a great_a loss_n how_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o as_o it_o have_v be_v and_o as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n that_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o whole_a christian_a world_n shall_v centre_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o have_v be_v so_o often_o read_v and_o so_o often_o preach_v upon_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o say_v any_o more_o than_o what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o those_o reason_n which_o be_v produce_v in_o your_o paper_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o your_o proposition_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o possible_o i_o can_v what_o i_o have_v for_o the_o present_a to_o say_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n from_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o and_o that_o be_v do_v i_o conceive_v i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v much_o to_o any_o of_o the_o reason_n though_o i_o intend_v not_o by_o the_o lord_n assistance_n to_o pass_v over_o any_o of_o they_o without_o say_v something_o and_o that_o as_o you_o desire_v according_a to_o the_o order_n as_o they_o stand_v to_o make_v entrance_n into_o this_o which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o speak_v unto_o as_o none_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o be_v the_o only_a day_n in_o the_o revolution_n of_o every_o week_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a to_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o old_a world_n i._n e._n of_o the_o church_n that_o then_o be_v of_o the_o jew_n till_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n shall_v come_v heb._n 9.10_o so_o i_o conceive_v it_o can_v with_o reason_n be_v deny_v but_o that_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o new_a world_n i._n e._n of_o the_o christian_a church_n frequent_o in_o scripture_n call_v the_o world_n to_o come_v i_o mention_v only_o that_o heb._n 2.5_o since_o than_o i_o say_v it_o can_v i_o think_v with_o any_o show_n of_o reason_n be_v deny_v that_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o have_v be_v general_o acknowledge_v in_o all_o christian_a church_n unto_o this_o day_n and_o will_v be_v to_o speak_v as_o yet_o i_o do_v believe_v till_o time_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o though_o by_o what_o authority_n be_v the_o great_a matter_n in_o question_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v certain_a though_o it_o have_v be_v of_o late_a as_o i_o have_v hear_v drop_v up_o and_o down_o in_o and_o about_o the_o town_n that_o this_o exalt_v of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o seven_o above_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o be_v do_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o constantine_n i_o wonder_v at_o this_o when_o i_o hear_v of_o it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o eusebius_n write_v the_o life_n of_o that_o christian_a emperor_n say_v that_o by_o law_n he_o enact_v that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a weekly_a holy_a day_n to_o the_o lord_n yet_o to_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n we_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v the_o christian_a religion_n for_o by_o his_o public_a edict_n the_o public_a profession_n of_o it_o be_v establish_v in_o all_o his_o dominion_n the_o christian_n of_o those_o day_n then_o receive_v as_o i_o have_v often_o think_v a_o answer_n to_o those_o prayer_n which_o their_o forefather_n in_o christianity_n no_o doubt_n pour_v forth_o before_o god_n according_a to_o that_o injunction_n and_o direction_n 1_o tim._n 2.1_o 2._o that_o they_o shall_v pray_v for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o they_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honosty_a which_o be_v much_o about_o 300._o year_n before_o constantine_n be_v bear_v at_o least_o before_o he_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n let_v eusebius_n himself_o be_v consult_v i_o can_v easy_o quote_v the_o place_n if_o i_o have_v the_o book_n by_o i_o and_o from_o he_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o as_o the_o christian_a religion_n so_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n be_v observe_v on_o the_o first_o day_n long_o before_o constantine_n cradle_n be_v make_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o before_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a magistrate_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o as_o it_o be_v apparent_a to_o i_o by_o divine_a authority_n or_o else_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n at_o all_o for_o in_o the_o new_a world_n that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n church_n old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o old_a sacrifice_n old_a covenant_n old_a sacrament_n the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o none_o deny_v even_o so_o likewise_o the_o old_a sabbath_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o let_v that_o scripture_n beside_o other_o that_o may_v be_v mention_v be_v due_o consider_v gal._n 4.10_o the_o apostle_n there_o reckon_v up_o several_a sort_n of_o the_o jewish_a festival_n and_o condemn_v the_o observation_n of_o they_o in_o all_o christian_a church_n for_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n he_o condemn_v they_o in_o one_o church_n he_o condemn_v they_o in_o all_o this_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o apostle_n scope_n in_o that_o and_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o some_o other_o of_o the_o church_n but_o to_o mention_v one_o be_v enough_o for_o all_o it_o be_v to_o oppose_v such_o of_o the_o
