though_o he_o limit_n paul_n preach_v to_o that_o church_n with_o who_o he_o at_o present_a personal_o be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n be_v come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n paul_n be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o troas_n preach_v to_o they_o on_o that_o day_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o the_o gentile-churche_n do_v use_v to_o break_v bread_n not_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o i_o say_v they_o have_v it_o from_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n where_o the_o apostle_n be_v first_o seat_v and_o behold_v the_o way_n of_o their_o lord_n with_o their_o eye_n now_o i_o say_v since_o we_o have_v so_o ample_a a_o example_n not_o only_o of_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n but_o also_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o first_o day_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o as_o countenance_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n for_o their_o practice_n be_v the_o same_o with_o law_n and_o commandment_n but_o five_o we_o will_v add_v to_o this_o another_o text_n now_o say_v paul_n concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n let_v every_o one_o of_o you_o lay_v by_o he_o as_o god_n have_v prosper_v he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o gather_n when_o i_o come_v 1_o cor._n 16._o 1_o 2._o this_o text_n some_o have_v great_o seek_v to_o evade_v count_v the_o duty_n here_o on_o this_o day_n to_o be_v do_v a_o duty_n too_o inferior_a for_o the_o sanction_n of_o a_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o yet_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o a_o ass_n on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v a_o work_n which_o our_o lord_n no_o way_n condemn_v luke_n 13._o 15._o ch_n 14._o 15._o but_o to_o pursue_v our_o design_n we_o have_v a_o duty_n enjoin_v and_o that_o of_o no_o inferior_a sort_n if_o charity_n be_v indeed_o as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o perfectness_n and_o if_o without_o it_o all_o our_o do_n yea_o and_o suffering_n too_o be_v not_o worth_a so_o much_o as_o a_o rush_n 1_o cor._n 13._o coloss._n 3._o 14._o we_o have_v here_o a_o duty_n i_o say_v that_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n when_o enforce_v be_v not_o too_o big_a for_o it_o to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o work_n now_o to_o be_v do_v be_v as_o you_o see_v to_o bestow_v their_o charity_n upon_o the_o poor_a yea_o to_o provide_v for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v collect_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n not_o a_o first_o day_n as_o signify_v one_o or_o two_o but_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n even_o every_o first_o day_n for_o so_o your_o ancient_a bibles_n have_v it_o also_o our_o late_a must_v be_v so_o understand_v or_o else_o paul_n have_v leave_v they_o to_o who_o he_o do_v write_v utter_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o if_o he_o intend_v not_o every_o first_o day_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o specify_v a_o particular_a one_o it_o can_v hardly_o even_o a_o be_v understand_v which_o first_o day_n he_o mean_v but_o we_o need_v not_o stand_v upon_o this_o this_o work_n be_v a_o work_n for_o a_o first_o day_n for_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n note_v again_o that_o we_o have_v this_o duty_n here_o command_v and_o enforce_v by_o a_o apostolical_a order_n i_o have_v give_v order_n say_v paul_n for_o this_o and_o his_o order_n as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 14._o vers_fw-la 37._o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v give_v even_o by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o a_o holy_a respect_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n yea_o or_o of_o the_o year_n beside_o further_o i_o find_v also_o by_o this_o text_n that_o this_o order_n be_v universal_a i_o have_v say_v he_o give_v this_o order_n not_o only_o to_o you_o but_o to_o the_o church_n in_o galatia_n consequently_n to_o all_o other_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o collection_n 2_o cor._n 8._o and_o 9_o chap._n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o whatever_o other_o may_v think_v put_v yet_o more_o glory_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o in_o that_o all_o the_o church_n be_v command_v as_o to_o make_v their_o collection_n so_o to_o make_v they_o on_o this_o day_n what_o be_v it_o but_o that_o this_o day_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sanction_n that_o christ_n put_v upon_o it_o be_v of_o virtue_n to_o sanctify_v the_o offer_n through_o and_o by_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o altar_n and_o temple_n afore_o do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n and_o gold_n that_o be_v and_o be_v offer_v on_o they_o the_o proverb_n be_v the_o better_a day_n the_o better_a deed._n and_o i_o believe_v that_o thing_n do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v better_o do_v than_o on_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o his_o worship_n obj._n but_o yet_o say_v some_o here_o be_v no_o order_n to_o keep_v this_o first_o day_n holy_a to_o the_o lord_n answ._n 1._o that_o be_v supply_v for_o that_o by_o this_o very_a text_n this_o day_n be_v appoint_v above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n in_o 2._o you_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o order_n be_v but_o additional_a and_o now_o enjoin_v to_o fill_v up_o that_o which_o be_v begin_v as_o to_o holy_a exercise_n of_o religious_a worship_n by_o the_o church_n long_o before_o 3._o the_o universality_n of_o the_o duty_n be_v enjoin_v to_o this_o day_n suppose_v that_o this_o day_n be_v universal_o keep_v by_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a already_o 4._o and_o let_v he_o that_o scruple_v this_o show_v i_o if_o he_o can_v that_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o apostle_n do_v ever_o command_v that_o all_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v confine_v to_o this_o or_o that_o duty_n on_o such_o a_o day_n and_o yet_o put_v no_o sanction_n upon_o that_o day_n or_o that_o he_o have_v command_v that_o this_o work_n shall_v be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o yet_o have_v reserve_v other_o church-ordinance_n as_o a_o public_a solemnisation_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o to_o be_v do_v of_o another_o day_n as_o of_o a_o day_n more_o fit_a more_o holy_a 5._o if_o charity_n if_o a_o general_a collection_n for_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n be_v command_v on_o this_o day_n and_o on_o no_o other_o day_n but_o this_o day_n for_o church-collection_n be_v command_v on_o no_o other_o there_o must_v be_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o if_o that_o reason_n have_v not_o respect_n to_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n i_o know_v not_o why_o the_o duty_n shall_v be_v so_o strict_o confine_v to_o it_o 6._o but_o for_o the_o apostle_n now_o to_o give_v with_o this_o a_o particular_a command_n to_o the_o church_n to_o sanctify_v that_o day_n as_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v utter_o superfluous_a for_o that_o they_o already_o and_o that_o by_o the_o countenance_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o his_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n have_v do_v before_o now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v become_v a_o custom_n as_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o be_v manifest_a wherefore_o what_o need_v that_o their_o so_o solemn_a a_o practice_n be_v impose_v again_o upon_o the_o brethren_n a_o intimation_n now_o of_o a_o continue_a respect_n thereto_o by_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o day_n be_v enough_o to_o keep_v the_o sanctity_n thereof_o on_o foot_n in_o the_o church_n how_o much_o more_o then_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v still_o add_v holy_a duty_n to_o holy_a duty_n to_o be_v perform_v upon_o that_o day_n so_o then_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v this_o holy_a duty_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n and_o insinuate_v that_o he_o will_v still_o have_v they_o have_v a_o due_a respect_n thereto_o quest._n but_o be_v there_o yet_o another_o reason_n why_o this_o holy_a duty_n shall_v in_o special_a as_o it_o be_v be_v command_v to_o be_v perform_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n answ._n yes_o for_o that_o now_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o in_o their_o respective_a place_n the_o better_a to_o agree_v about_o collection_n and_o to_o gather_v they_o you_o know_v church-worship_n be_v a_o duty_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o long_o also_o be_v this_o of_o make_v collection_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o

be_v the_o sanction_n of_o the_o day_n in_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v i_o will_v grad_o see_v the_o place_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o day_n retain_v its_o sanction_n which_o yet_o have_v lose_v that_o method_n of_o service_n which_o be_v of_o god_n appoint_v for_o the_o performance_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o thereon_o when_o canaan-worship_n fall_v the_o sanction_n of_o canaan_n fall_v when_o temple-worship_n and_o altar-worship_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n fall_v down_z also_o come_v the_o thing_n themselves_o likewise_o so_o when_o the_o service_n or_o shadow_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n fall_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n fall_v likewise_o on_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o manna_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v but_o why_o for_o that_o that_o day_n be_v of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n but_o manna_n be_v be_v not_o of_o he_o moses_n say_v christ_n give_v you_o not_o that_o bread_n from_o heaven_n joh._n 6._o 31_o 32._o moses_n as_o be_v say_v give_v that_o sabbath_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o

we_o be_v bind_v to_o seek_v manna_n on_o that_o day_n on_o which_o god_n say_v none_o shall_v be_v find_v perhaps_o it_o will_v say_v that_o the_o sanction_n of_o that_o day_n will_v not_o admit_v that_o manna_n shall_v be_v gather_v on_o it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o on_o that_o day_n there_o be_v none_o to_o be_v find_v and_o may_v i_o choose_v i_o have_v rather_o sanctific_a that_o day_n to_o god_n on_o which_o i_o may_v gather_v this_o bread_n of_o god_n all_o day_n long_o than_o set_v my_o mind_n at_o all_o upon_o that_o in_o which_o no_o such_o bread_n be_v to_o be_v
