of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2_o because_o if_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v divine_a commandment_n it_o follow_v that_o so_o many_o divine_a commandment_n be_v give_v to_o man_n as_o

first_o governor_n of_o it_o they_o receive_v it_o for_o else_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o now_o the_o church_n since_o the_o apostle_n time_n be_v destitute_a of_o power_n to_o make_v law_n and_o consequent_o that_o all_o the_o law_n bring_v into_o the_o church_n by_o general_a counsel_n be_v unjust_a because_o establish_v without_o lawful_a authority_n and_o that_o many_o mischief_n of_o heresy_n and_o schism_n may_v befall_v the_o church_n which_o she_o have_v no_o power_n or_o mean_n to_o help_v if_o therefore_o that_o authority_n of_o ordain_v law_n be_v give_v by_o god_n to_o the_o church_n in_o who_o behalf_n the_o apostle_n receive_v it_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o apostle_n decree_n be_v divine_a commmandement_n because_o they_o receive_v that_o power_n from_o god_n that_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v divine_a commandment_n 5_o because_o if_o the_o law_n of_o observe_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o divine_a commandment_n than_o it_o be_v so_o either_o because_o it_o proceed_v from_o god_n immediate_o without_o the_o intervention_n of_o man_n which_o must_v be_v show_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o else_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v repute_v a_o divine_a commandment_n because_o it_o proceed_v from_o god_n mediate_o than_o all_o humane_a law_n that_o be_v good_a and_o just_a be_v also_o divine_a comandement_n by_o i_o king_n reign_v and_o prince_n etc._n etc._n prov._n 8._o 15._o 6_o because_o if_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v to_o the_o church_n have_v be_v god_n commandment_n impose_v on_o the_o church_n by_o they_o as_o the_o judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a precept_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v by_o moses_n then_o will_v they_o have_v signify_v withal_o to_o the_o church_n that_o they_o have_v be_v god_n own_o commandment_n whereof_o they_o be_v but_o the_o messenger_n or_o reporter_n as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n use_n be_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n for_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v wrong_v both_o the_o church_n who_o will_v have_v receive_v they_o with_o the_o more_o reverence_n know_v they_o to_o be_v god_n own_o commandment_n and_o not_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o god_n himself_o by_o not_o declare_v they_o to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v god_n own_o commandment_n which_o god_n have_v give_v as_o his_o commandment_n to_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o a_o inspiration_n only_o but_o a_o divine_a revelation_n of_o god_n pleasure_n touch_v it_o it_o may_v be_v refell_v 1_o because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o voluntary_a assertion_n that_o can_v be_v prove_v 2_o because_o such_o a_o revelation_n make_v to_o the_o apostle_n be_v no_o divine_a precept_n to_o oblige_v the_o church_n for_o if_o a_o revelation_n have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o divine_a commandment_n yet_o have_v it_o so_o only_o in_o relation_n to_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v a_o revelation_n not_o to_o other_o except_o it_o appear_v to_o they_o that_o such_o be_v god_n revelation_n for_o i_o ask_v whether_o by_o that_o revelation_n god_n command_v the_o apostle_n to_o ordain_v such_o a_o precept_n in_o the_o church_n touch_v that_o day_n or_o whether_o by_o it_o he_o command_v the_o church_n but_o reveal_v it_o to_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o shall_v publish_v it_o as_o his_o commandment_n to_o the_o church_n if_o the_o first_o it_o folllow_v that_o although_o that_o commandment_n be_v divine_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o in_o relation_n from_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o church_n it_o be_v humane_a except_o god_n have_v command_v the_o apostle_n to_o publish_v it_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o if_o that_o revelation_n be_v make_v to_o the_o apostle_n not_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v be_v ordainer_n or_o author_n of_o such_o a_o commandment_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v publisher_n of_o that_o commandment_n to_o the_o church_n which_o god_n have_v for_o that_o purpose_n reveal_v to_o they_o in_o his_o name_n then_o do_v the_o apostle_n sin_n most_o grievous_o that_o publish_v it_o not_o in_o his_o name_n to_o the_o church_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n to_o publish_v as_o his_o precept_n especial_o see_v it_o can_v not_o oblige_v as_o a_o commandment_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o promulgate_v in_o his_o name_n &_o as_o his_o commandment_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o revelation_n make_v to_o the_o apostle_n especial_o see_v neither_o in_o the_o

the_o sabbath_n be_v by_o god_n ordinance_n also_o translate_v to_o that_o day_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v charge_v with_o the_o same_o commandment_n precise_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o change_n save_v of_o the_o day_n then_o be_v it_o no_o less_o displeasant_a to_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v any_o light_a work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o on_o

much_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o beside_o the_o lord_n love_v not_o one_o day_n more_o than_o another_o therefore_o if_o the_o duty_n belong_v to_o both_o day_n be_v the_o
