necessity_n why_o shall_v there_o not_o be_v like_o reason_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o like_a but_o hereunto_o happy_o some_o will_v object_v that_o the_o passeover_n day_n be_v a_o ceremony_n but_o the_o sabbath_n day_n you_o hold_v to_o be_v a_o moral_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v not_o like_o reason_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v a_o frivolouse_a objection_n for_o 1._o god_n have_v aswell_o permit_v a_o dispensation_n in_o morales_fw-la as_o in_o ceremoniales_fw-la for_o god_n by_o moses_n permit_v a_o dispensation_n against_o the_o seven_o commandment_n in_o some_o kind_n and_o that_o too_o upon_o worse_a conditione_n than_o be_v our_o present_a case_n of_o necessity_n as_o shall_v appear_v for_o divorce_n be_v permit_v for_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o jew_n heart_n but_o our_o dispensation_n shall_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o better_a case_n &_o condition_n then_o that_o to_o be_v a_o more_o warrantable_a necessity_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v when_o we_o come_v to_o it_o by_o &_o by_o 2._o i_o answer_v be_v it_o that_o because_o the_o one_o be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o the_o other_o a_o moral_a that_o therefore_o god_n have_v less_o regard_n unto_o the_o ceremony_n than_o he_o have_v unto_o the_o moral_a yet_o this_o make_v but_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o of_o less_o &_o more_o the_o one_o being_n less_o regard_v the_o other_o more_o regard_v now_o this_o difference_n hinder_v not_o the_o argument_n magis_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la non_fw-la variat_fw-la speciem_fw-la as_o logiceans_n speak_v a_o piece_n of_o silver_n of_o nine_o penny_n be_v like_o a_o piece_n of_o silver_n of_o twelve_o penny_n they_o be_v both_o silver_n though_o the_o one_o be_v a_o lesser_a piece_n &_o the_o other_o a_o great_a piece_n now_o if_o it_o be_v permit_v unto_o a_o debtor_n to_o exchange_n with_o his_o creditor_n &_o give_v he_o six_o penny_n in_o stead_n of_o his_o nine_o penny_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n then_o by_o like_a reason_n &_o proportion_n every_o man_n will_v judge_v that_o it_o be_v permit_v unto_o he_o in_o like_a case_n to_o give_v he_o a_o nine_o penny_n piece_n for_o a_o piece_n of_o twelve_o penny_n but_o especial_o if_o the_o necessity_n for_o the_o great_a change_n do_v exceed_v the_o necessity_n for_o the_o lesser_a change_n &_o this_o be_v our_o case_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a passeover_n day_n which_o be_v the_o lesser_a may_v be_v upon_o this_o one_o necessity_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o far_a journey_n but_o our_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o great_a be_v upon_o a_o necessity_n consist_v of_o 4_o branch_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o &_o by_o which_o as_o they_o exceed_v the_o other_o in_o number_n so_o also_o in_o weight_n if_o they_o be_v compare_v together_o by_o which_o demonstration_n you_o see_v this_o objection_n though_o common_a yet_o frivolouse_a and_o thus_o much_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o prove_v the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o passover_o day_n may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o see_v numb_a 9.5_o where_o the_o isralite_n keep_v the_o passover_o in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n according_a to_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o god_n at_o its_o first_o institution_n as_o you_o may_v see_v v._o 1,2_o and_o levit._n 23.5_o and_o exod._n 12.2.6_o now_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o some_o man_n in_o the_o congregation_n be_v defile_v by_o touch_v of_o a_o dead_a corpse_n and_o so_o they_o be_v debar_v from_o keep_v the_o passover_o at_o that_o time_n with_o the_o congregation_n hereupon_o they_o come_v before_o moses_n &_o aaron_n for_o counsel_n &_o moses_n not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n he_o repair_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n make_v he_o this_o answer_n if_o any_o among_o you_o shall_v be_v unclean_a by_o reason_n of_o a_o dead_a body_n or_o be_v in_o a_o long_a journey_n he_o shall_v keep_v the_o passover_o in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o second_o month_n etc._n etc._n numb_a 9.6.7.8.9.10.11_o so_o hereby_o you_o see_v that_o howbeit_o the_o passover_o be_v by_o its_o prime_a institution_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n yet_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o time_n be_v change_v from_o the_o first_o month_n unto_o the_o second_o month_n and_o so_o the_o day_n and_o time_n command_v in_o the_o law_n at_o the_o prime_a institution_n be_v neglect_v and_o profane_v by_o those_o which_o have_v this_o necessity_n upon_o they_o the_o case_n in_o which_o the_o passover_o time_n be_v change_v be_v 1._o if_o a_o man_n have_v touch_v a_o dead_a corpse_n 2._o if_o a_o man_n be_v from_o home_n in_o a_o far_a journey_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_n nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n himself_o but_o so_o be_v not_o your_o dispensation_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o there_o be_v no_o exception_n that_o can_v be_v show_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o their_o be_v for_o the_o passover_o day_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o this_o answer_n be_v very_o absurd_a for_o it_o deni_v all_o argumentation_n &_o collectiones_fw-la from_o the_o scripture_n for_o they_o will_v not_o grant_v the_o question_n unless_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o a_o express_a text_n of_o scripture_n in_o so_o many_o word_n for_o they_o will_v have_v a_o express_a dispensation_n in_o so_o many_o word_n show_v for_o a_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n to_o be_v show_v for_o the_o passover_n change_v in_o the_o scripture_n furthermore_o if_o they_o will_v not_o grand_fw-mi that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v now_o because_o the_o passover_o day_n may_v be_v change_v in_o old_a time_n how_o will_v they_o do_v to_o prove_v that_o we_o may_v baptize_v infant_n now_o because_o they_o do_v circumcise_v infint_n in_o old_a time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o express_a word_n of_o god_n for_o either_o they_o must_v both_o be_v infer_v by_o collection_n from_o other_o scripture_n yet_o further_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o s._n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o thing_n write_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n if_o we_o may_v not_o collect_v and_o learn_v from_o they_o to_o do_v the_o like_a in_o like_a case_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v write_v a_o fore_a

tell_v what_o to_o do_v wherefore_o he_o have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n for_o direction_n numb_a 9.10.11_o so_o after_o the_o law_n for_o the_o sabbath_n be_v give_v there_o be_v fall_v out_o a_o extraordenary_a occurrence_n the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v profane_v now_o for_o 1000_o or_o 1200_o year_n now_o how_o to_o work_v a_o reformation_n hereof_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wites_z end_n &_o we_o can_v now_o a_o day_n have_v such_o recourse_n unto_o god_n as_o moses_n have_v for_o direction_n wherefore_o now_o we_o must_v to_o the_o law_n &_o to_o the_o testimony_n and_o borrow_v light_a from_o former_a precedent_n final_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o unto_o you_o that_o we_o may_v extend_v this_o dispensation_n of_o the_o passover_o day_n further_o than_o it_o be_v express_v by_o god_n dispensation_n in_o numb_a 9.10.11_o so_o be_v we_o do_v it_o by_o like_a reason_n for_o this_o end_n note_n that_o the_o lord_n give_v leave_v to_o change_v the_o the_o passover_o in_o these_o two_o case_n 1._o if_o a_o man_n have_v touch_v a_o dead_a corpse_n 2._o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o far_a journey_n but_o the_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n keep_v the_o passover_o long_o after_o he_o fall_v into_o other_o extremity_n and_o strait_n and_o he_o can_v not_o keep_v the_o passover_o on_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n but_o profane_v it_o and_o make_v a_o change_n unto_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o second_o month_n and_o that_o upon_o these_o two_o occation_n 1._o because_o he_o have_v not_o priest_n enough_o sanctify_v or_o because_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o sufficient_o

now_o these_o two_o extremity_n &_o reason_n of_o hezekiah_n
against_o they_o say_v well_o you_o reject_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v observe_v your_o own_o tradition_n mark_n 7.9_o for_o they_o trample_v down_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n day_n that_o they_o may_v keep_v their_o own_o lord_n day_n my_o four_o reason_n dissuasive_a be_v because_o by_o the_o uphould_v of_o this_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n the_o sacred_a scripture_n &_o

therefore_o to_o give_v such_o reason_n as_o may_v take_v place_n in_o a_o carnal_a mind_n for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o i_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n that_o this_o may_v the_o better_o appear_v we_o will_v consider_v of_o it_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n &_o beast_n touch_v man_n we_o will_v consider_v of_o

forasmuch_o as_o we_o embrace_v this_o sermon_n which_o christ_n preach_v upon_o the_o mount_n as_o concern_v we_o &_o our_o time_n we_o must_v therefore_o embrace_v this_o part_n of_o his_o sermon_n

therefore_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o land_n can_v belong_v unto_o we_o christian_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v apply_v this_o promise_n unto_o christianes_n that_o live_v not_o in_o canaan_n as_o you_o may_v read_v eph._n 6.1.2.3_o neither_o do_v the_o lord_n say_v that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n but_o general_o thus_o that_o thy_o

which_o be_v this_o admit_v that_o there_o be_v some_o title_n of_o the_o law_n that_o do_v not_o belong_v unto_o we_o as_o these_o two_o reason_n annex_v to_o the_o law_n yet_o they_o can_v show_v

christ_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n far_o unlike_a to_o the_o example_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v as_o unlike_a

of_o christ_n his_o death_n as_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v of_o which_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o now_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o christ_n can_v pass_v over_o

the_o like_a as_o some_o infant-like-man_n imagine_v this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o institute_v for_o a_o sabbath_n whither_o i_o marvel_v then_o will_v they_o run_v for_o a_o institution_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o word_n of_o institution_n nor_o of_o any_o practice_n or_o example_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n about_o their_o sanctify_v any_o lord_n day_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n until_o pentecost_n day_n act._n 2._o which_o be_v 6_o or_o 7_o week_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n so_o here_o then_o be_v a_o great_a error_n for_o not_o only_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v omit_v for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o also_o there_o be_v no_o foot_n for_o any_o lord_n day_n keep_v like_o a_o sabbath_n for_o 6_o or_o 7_o week_n together_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n thus_o the_o further_a we_o search_v in_o to_o this_o point_n the_o more_o vain_a it_o do_v appear_v in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o
