the_o argument_n lie_v not_o here_o a_o worse_a thing_n will_v follow_v for_o then_o our_o saviour_n bring_v a_o instance_n very_o unsuitable_a and_o such_o as_o will_v be_v dangerous_a as_o will_v be_v discern_v if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v no_o reason_n from_o god_n dispense_n with_o a_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o his_o dispense_n with_o a_o moral_a law_n for_o then_o one_o may_v

these_o consideration_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v never_o give_v as_o a_o sign_n to_o all_o man_n and_o thence_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v never_o give_v to_o all_o man_n for_o

the_o sabbath_n be_v deliver_v as_o a_o feast_n to_o the_o jew_n but_o not_o so_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n but_o the_o first_o of_o thâ—se_a can_v never_o be_v prove_v as_o i_o conceive_v and_o if_o the_o latter_a be_v accept_v it_o must_v be_v prove_v which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o very_a difficult_a undertake_n and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v it_o will_v confirm_v what_o we_o have_v say_v at_o least_o in_o part_n because_o it_o will_v evince_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n to_o be_v ceremonial_a to_o that_o part_n of_o mankind_n to_o who_o it_o be_v deliver_v as_o a_o

keep_v it_o not_o as_o a_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o their_o dwelling_n and_o because_o we_o see_v here_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n reckon_v with_o the_o ceremonial_a feast_n of_o the_o
