law_n as_o we_o be_v judge_v by_o at_o london_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o gentile_n that_o live_v without_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v judge_v without_o the_o law_n which_o plain_o

difference_n do_v lie_v only_o in_o writing_n rom._n 2.26_o 27._o where_o it_o be_v say_v if_o the_o gentile_n in_o uncircumcision_n keep_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n that_o his_o unicircumcision_n shall_v be_v count_v for_o circumcision_n and_o shall_v not_o uncircumcision_n which_o be_v by_o nature_n if_o it_o fulfil_v the_o law_n judge_v thou_o who_o by_o the_o letter_n and_o circumcision_n do_v transgress_v the_o law_n now_o how_o can_v the_o gentile_n uncircumcision_n be_v account_v for_o circumcision_n if_o he_o keep_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n if_o this_o law_n be_v not_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n again_o the_o difference_n be_v make_v in_o the_o word_n letter_n so_o that_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o great_a in_o that_o they_o despise_v the_o law_n because_o it_o be_v send_v by_o two_o messenger_n from_o god_n unto_o they_o both_o in_o writing_n and_o otherwise_o plant_v it_o in_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n be_v oppose_v in_o the_o word_n letter_n mr._n ives_n mr._n coppinger_n say_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o nature_n be_v oppose_v in_o the_o word_n letter_n if_o so_o than_o he_o have_v confute_v himself_o for_o that_o they_o can_v be_v the_o same_o if_o they_o be_v oppose_v one_o to_o the_o other_o but_o second_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v contradistinct_a from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o appear_v by_o that_o text_n 1_o cor._n 9.20_o 21._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o to_o they_o that_o be_v without_o the_o law_n he_o be_v as_o without_o law_n now_o what_o can_v the_o apostle_n do_v in_o a_o way_n of_o compliance_n to_o make_v the_o jew_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v not_o without_o the_o law_n and_o to_o make_v the_o gentile_n think_v he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o one_o be_v not_o way_n differ_v from_o the_o other_o but_o in_o write_v then_o they_o can_v not_o be_v distinguish_v by_o action_n but_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o gentile_n by_o their_o different_a law_n be_v plain_a in_o that_o paul_n do_v blame_v peter_n for_o compel_v the_o gentile_n to_o live_v as_o do_v the_o jew_n but_o i_o shall_v further_o prove_v by_o reason_n that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n can_v be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n because_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n wherever_o it_o be_v mention_v it_o be_v always_o understand_v of_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o well_o the_o ceremonial_a as_o the_o moral_a which_o i_o hope_v mr._n coppinger_n will_v not_o say_v be_v all_o of_o it_o write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o the_o gentile_n heart_n and_o this_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n mention_v by_o mr._n coppinger_n john_n 7.23_o the_o jew_n do_v circumcise_v a_o man_n that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n may_v not_o be_v break_v mr._n coppinger_n mr._n ives_n say_v that_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v oppose_v to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n 1_o cor._n 9.21_o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o without_o law_n to_o they_o that_o be_v without_o law_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o believe_v jew_n under_o the_o law_n and_o believe_v gentile_n without_o the_o law_n because_o that_o the_o gentile_n be_v under_o every_o part_n and_o parcel_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n as_o appear_v gal._n 3_o as_o many_o as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o the_o gentile_n be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n gal_n 4.8_o and_o can_v the_o law_n curse_v they_o that_o be_v not_o under_o it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o show_v by_o &_o by_o that_o this_o law_n which_o the_o gentile_n be_v under_o be_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n mr._n ives_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o gentile_n that_o have_v a_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n annex_v to_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o law_n and_o therefore_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v they_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v the_o gentile_n from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n that_o therefore_o the_o gentile_n live_v under_o alice_n the_o law_n and_o every_o part_n and_o parcel_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o suffer_v all_o the_o penalty_n and_o curse_n due_a to_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o second_o among_o the_o gentile_n there_o live_v many_o jew_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chap._n 2._o behold_v thou_o 〈◊〉_d call_v a_o jew_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o they_o live_v among_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v roman_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n among_o the_o galatian_n live_v many_o jew_n as_o appear_v by_o peter_n compel_v the_o gentile_n to_o live_v as_o do_v the_o jew_n gal._n 2._o and_o again_o it_o be_v say_v gal_n 4._o that_o the_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n etc._n etc._n which_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o jew_n so_o that_o christ_n redeem_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o curse_n of_o their_o law_n and_o the_o gentile_n from_o the_o curse_n of_o their_o law_n but_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o because_o christ_n redeem_v both_o from_o the_o curse_n that_o therefore_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n live_v all_o under_o one_o and_o the_o same_o law_n and_o this_o be_v further_a prove_v by_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 5._o when_o he_o say_v whosoever_o be_v circumcise_v be_v a_o debtor_n to_o do_v the_o whole_a law_n whence_o i_o argue_v that_o if_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n have_v bind_v the_o gentile_n to_o keep_v all_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n than_o they_o have_v be_v indebt_v to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n without_o circumcision_n but_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o indebt_v to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n without_o circumcision_n ergo_fw-la the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v not_o bind_v the_o gentile_n to_o observe_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v distinguish_v between_o the_o law_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o both_o according_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o those_o different_a law_n they_o live_v under_o mr._n coppinger_n whereas_o you_o talk_v of_o circumcision_n i_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o at_o liberty_n from_o circumcision_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_v mr._n ives_n but_o christ_n have_v redeem_v none_o from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o show_v plain_o that_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o second_o if_o christ_n have_v redeem_v the_o gentile_n from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n then_o though_o your_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n yet_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o it_o and_o last_o your_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v bind_v to_o all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n which_o i_o have_v disprove_v by_o show_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o law_n of_o ceremony_n by_o the_o obligation_n of_o circumcision_n and_o not_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n mr._n coppinger_n i_o do_v say_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v under_o all_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o well_o as_o under_o all_o the_o moral_a law_n even_o by_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n even_o all_o the_o law_n all_o sacrifice_n every_o bit_n and_o every_o thing_n gal._n 3.13_o christ_n have_v redeem_v 〈◊〉_d etc._n etc._n and_o gal._n 4._o he_o have_v redeem_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n mean_v gentile_n as_o well_o as_o jew_n now_o that_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n in_o that_o the_o same_o spirit_n write_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o the_o angel_n do_v command_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n again_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n say_v the_o man_n that_o do_v they_o shall_v live_v in_o they_o gal._n 3.12_o to_o this_o agree_v rom._n 10._o so_o that_o all_o moses_n law_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v for_o jew_n and_o gentile_n indifferent_o the_o one_o for_o
sabbath_n than_o all_o believe_a gentile_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o all_o believe_a gentile_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o royal_a law_n james_n 2._o and_o that_o

the_o second_o thing_n object_v against_o this_o argument_n from_o rom._n 14._o be_v this_o viz._n that_o if_o we_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o under_o no_o restraint_n but_o may_v keep_v every_o day_n

christ_n have_v set_v we_o at_o liberty_n from_o those_o moysaicall_a institution_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o day_n and_o have_v make_v all_o day_n alike_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o moysaicall_a

to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o hint_v page_n 90._o for_o first_o god_n have_v free_v we_o from_o that_o place_n of_o worship_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n unto_o

that_o one_o place_n have_v no_o more_o legal_a or_o moysaicall_a sanctity_n than_o another_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o christian_n may_v abuse_v this_o liberty_n and_o choose_v whether_o

they_o must_v be_v our_o example_n for_o a_o time_n of_o worship_n they_o must_v be_v so_o for_o a_o place_n of_o worship_n for_o such_o place_n be_v as_o well_o command_v as_o such_o time_n second_o

be_v that_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n must_v needs_o be_v moral_a because_o as_o mr._n spittlehouse_n tell_v i_o before_o many_o witness_n that_o the_o seven_o star_n do_v preach_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o the_o heathen_a keep_v the_o saturday_n which_o be_v so_o call_v of_o saturn_n the_o seven_o planet_n i_o answer_v that_o first_o this_o be_v vain_a philosophy_n indeed_o but_o second_o mr._n spittlehouse_n be_v a_o ignorant_a philosopher_n and_o a_o more_o ignorant_a astrologer_n in_o say_v that_o saturn_n be_v the_o seven_o planet_n which_o all_o writer_n in_o astronomy_n and_o astrology_n do_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o first_o planet_n and_o according_o so_o place_n it_o and_o call_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o heathen_a rather_o keep_v saturday_n as_o the_o first_o day_n than_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o saturn_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o seven_o planet_n but_o three_o the_o heathen_a do_v keep_v every_o nine_o day_n to_o jupiter_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o these_o be_v sabbath_n that_o god_n require_v again_o plutarch_n say_v of_o theseus_n that_o the_o athenian_n offer_v to_o he_o their_o great_a sacrifice_n upon_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o october_n because_o of_o his_o arrival_n that_o day_n from_o cret●_n and_o they_o do_v keep_v the_o eight_o day_n of_o every_o month_n because_o he_o be_v derive_v of_o neptune_n and_o therefore_o philo_n the_o jew_n put_v this_o difference_n between_o jew_n and_o gentile_n viz._n that_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o day_n every_o week_n but_o the_o gentile_n do_v but_o keep_v one_o in_o a_o month_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v not_o more_o honour_v by_o the_o heathen_a than_o the_o nine_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o the_o month_n on_o which_o they_o offer_v their_o great_a sacrifice_n but_o last_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a thus_o to_o trifle_v may_v not_o a_o man_n as_o well_o prove_v sunday_n or_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n because_o the_o heathen_a worship_v the_o sun_n as_o any_o body_n can_v prove_v saturday_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n because_o the_o heathen_a worship_v the_o planet_n saturn_n but_o enough_o if_o not_o more_o then_o enough_o of_o this_o vain_a reason_n argum._n 13_o the_o thirteen_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o morality_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o number_n seven_o that_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a number_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o seven_o day_n come_v we_o must_v rest_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o notion_n they_o cite_v scripture_n that_o magnify_v the_o number_n seven_o as_o david_n pray_v seven_o time_n a_o day_n and_o christ_n cast_v seven_o devil_n out_o of_o mary_n magdelene_n and_o seven_o year_n of_o plenty_n and_o seven_o year_n of_o famine_n in_o egypt_n amp_n c._n to_o all_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o one_o will_v think_v these_o man_n have_v suffer_v 7_o year_n famine_n in_o a_o want_n of_o argument_n for_o their_o opinion_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o catch_v at_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o but_o i_o remember_v solomon_n faith_n to_o the_o hungry_a every_o bitter_a thing_n be_v sweet_a therefore_o if_o these_o man_n be_v not_o languish_v for_o want_v of_o argument_n they_o will_v never_o feed_v themselves_o with_o such_o vain_a arguing_n for_o may_v not_o the_o papist_n plead_v this_o argument_n for_o their_o seven_o sacrament_n as_o well_o as_o these_o man_n can_v plead_v it_o for_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o second_o be_v not_o other_o number_n both_o in_o nature_n sacred_a and_o profane_a writing_n as_o much_o set_v by_o as_o the_o number_n seven_o as_o god_n make_v

give_v the_o keep_n of_o easter_n in_o charge_n to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o church_n 300_o year_n after_o christ_n be_v zealous_a of_o easter_n day_n be_v very_o obvious_a to_o all_o that_o have_v

compute_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o joshua_n time_n and_o haste_v not_o to_o go_v down_o for_o a_o whole_a day_n and_o likewise_o the_o sun_n go_v backward_o ten_o degree_n in_o hezekiahs_n time_n which_o be_v almost_o half_a a_o day_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v a_o perfect_a account_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n three_o a_o man_n can_v know_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o four_o but_o by_o tradition_n therefore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o moral_a as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n sick_a of_o a_o violent_a distemper_n that_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o sense_n when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o

seven_o day_n he_o can_v know_v this_o but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o tradition_n have_v lose_v his_o account_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o sickness_n which_o show_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o command_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n because_o by_o that_o light_n a_o man_n can_v know_v the_o seenth_fw-mi day_n from_o the_o four_o or_o eight_o again_o this_o reason_n be_v further_o illustrate_v by_o the_o travel_n of_o sir_n francis_n drake_n who_o lose_v a_o whole_a day_n and_o so_o do_v all_o their_o company_n before_o their_o return_n for_o england_n so_o the_o dutch_a in_o their_o western_a discovery_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o variation_n of_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n they_o have_v lose_v a_o day_n before_o they_o return_v which_o they_o have_v never_o be_v inform_v

case_n put_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n upon_o the_o world_n to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o law_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v moral_a the_o second_o argument_n which_o i_o urge_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n to_o the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o command_v by_o moses_n law_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o this_o law_n be_v not_o give_v to_o any_o nation_n but_o israel_n psalm_n 147.19_o 20._o rom._n 2.14_o the_o gentile_n have_v not_o the_o law_n &c_n &c_n second_o if_o moses_n law_n be_v in_o force_n than_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v in_o force_n which_o be_v that_o the_o congregation_n shall_v stone_n the_o oftender_n to_o death_n num._n 15.35_o which_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o forementioned_a disputation_n can_v reasonable_o be_v imagine_v to_o consist_v with_o gospel-liberty_n three_o if_o moses_n law_n be_v in_o force_n to_o require_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v not_o express_o and_o particular_o require_v of_o they_o by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n than_o we_o may_v by_o the_o argument_n of_o moses_n law_n take_v a_o liberty_n to_o innovate_v what_o judaical_a ceremony_n we_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n have_v a_o mind_n unto_o argum._n iii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o argument_n viz._n that_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o require_v by_o christ_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n first_o because_o he_o have_v not_o express_o require_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n nor_o have_v any_o of_o his_o apostle_n to_o who_o he_o delegated_a a_o power_n to_o preach_v the_o law_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n ever_o declare_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o second_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v col._n 2.16_o 27._o which_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o

add_v either_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n for_o the_o land_n when_o he_o mean_v yearly_a sabbath_n or_o else_o if_o they_o be_v festival_n sabbath_n he_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o feast_n which-ought_a to_o be_v so_o sanctify_v but_o second_o wherever_o sabbath_n be_v join_v with_o new_a moon_n and_o feast_n there_o it_o be_v always_o understand_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o all_o their_o other_o sabbath_n be_v include_v in_o their_o feast_n except_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n see_v for_o this_o purpose_n exod._n 34.18_o 19_o 20_o 21_o 22_o 23._o leu._n 23.3_o 4._o
