fidelity_n in_o exposition_n as_o now_o they_o must_v for_o they_o may_v see_v by_o their_o own_o eye_n plain_o for_o example_n suppose_v we_o the_o four_o com._n be_v thus_o translate_v remember_v

and_o why_o the_o commandment_n shall_v be_v express_v by_o this_o word_n remember_v the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o render_v by_o divin_n be_v to_o prevent_v carelessness_n and_o forgetfulness_n on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n next_o ensue_v lest_o man_n shall_v leave_v some_o common_a work_n of_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o any_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n this_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n because_o that_o by_o man_n not_o forthink_v of_o the_o sabbath_n some_o work_n be_v leave_v undo_v on_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n be_v profane_v and_o the_o four_o come_v transgress_v for_o see_v that_o we_o be_v in_o like_a danger_n of_o break_v every_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n by_o a_o carelessness_n and_o a_o not_o forthink_v of_o our_o duty_n in_o they_o enjoin_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v needful_a therefore_o to_o have_v have_v a_o memorandum_n

to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o such_o a_o reason_n therefore_o will_v be_v seek_v as_o agree_v to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o now_o in_o this_o point_n if_o i_o may_v take_v leave_n to_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n i_o can_v find_v out_o a_o better_a reason_n than_o this_o god_n foresee_v that_o after_o a_o long_a time_n that_o be_v about_o 364_o year_n after_o

to_o this_o day_n to_o prevent_v which_o forgetfulness_n and_o utter_a neglect_n of_o his_o sabbath_n day_n it_o please_v god_n to_o prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o come_v that_o so_o if_o it_o be_v forget_v it_o may_v in_o time_n by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o be_v bring_v to_o remembrance_n again_o which_o god_n grant_v if_o we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o 10_o com._n we_o shall_v find_v that_o nothing_o command_v in_o any_o of_o they_o be_v so_o whole_o and_o utter_o bury_v and_o forget_v as_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v when_o they_o

and_o lest_o it_o rise_v again_o they_o have_v cast_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n upon_o it_o calling_z it_o jewish_a and_o judaisme_n and_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n and_o a_o bury_v abolish_v ceremony_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o to_o bring_v it_o out_o of_o remembrance_n now_o though_o papist_n have_v foul_o forget_v the_o 2d_o come_v yet_o all_o protestant_n remember_v it_o well_o enough_o god_n be_v thank_v i_o know_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o all_o the_o 10._o commandment_n forget_v by_o reform_a church_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n only_o to_o wit_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n day_n and_o as_o for_o this_o this_o be_v forget_v of_o all_o both_o protestant_n and_o papist_n it_o be_v very_o needful_a therefore_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v prefix_v a_o memorandum_n to_o this_o
comm_n which_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o we_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n of_o day_n if_o we_o have_v none_o other_o we_o see_v then_o it_o be_v a_o frivolouse_a objection_n to_o say_v the_o

choose_v the_o sunday_n sabbath_n hence_o this_o one_o note_n will_v be_v observe_v that_o since_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o patroness_n thereof_o must_v fetch_v all_o their_o ground_n for_o it_o by_o reason_n collection_n &_o consequence_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o how_o feeble_a a_o thing_n man_n blind_a reason_n be_v who_o know_v not_o that_o know_v himself_o how_o liable_a be_v we_o to_o mistake_v yea_o how_o subject_a to_o fallacy_n &_o to_o be_v deceive_v thereby_o be_v the_o best_a logiceans_n especial_o in_o

the_o foundation_n of_o our_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n have_v but_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o man_n blind_a &_o shallow_a reason_n but_o here_o unto_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o reply_v that_o

difficulty_n be_v to_o know_v when_o a_o consequence_n be_v necessary_o true_a and_o when_o not_o for_o many_o man_n take_v their_o consequence_n to_o be_v necessary_o true_a which_o be_v but_o

much_o for_o consequence_n and_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n there_o be_v no_o man_n use_v necessary_a consequence_n less_o than_o they_o do_v in_o somuch_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o question_v it_o that_o they_o talk_v beyond_o their_o skill_n when_o they_o talk_v so_o before_o the_o people_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n for_o if_o they_o know_v what_o they_o say_v when_o they_o so_o speak_v we_o shall_v sinde_v they_o use_v this_o necessary_a consequence_n in_o their_o disputation_n and_o argument_n frame_v by_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o they_o talk_v so_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n thereby_o insinuate_v unto_o common_a people_n that_o they_o have_v never_o err_v necessary_a consequence_n for_o their_o lord_n day_n sahbath_n but_o here_o i_o challenge_v they_o any_o of_o they_o all_o to_o show_v i_o but_o one_o argument_n out_o of_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n which_o stand_v by_o force_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n which_o if_o they_o can_v not_o do_v as_o i_o know_v well_o they_o can_v do_v it_o then_o be_v they_o but_o ungodly_a bragadocean_n &_o proud_a boaster_n to_o prattle_v of_o necessary_a consequence_n as_o if_o forsooth_o they_o mean_v it_o to_o prove_v all_o they_o say_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o it_o they_o flinch_v give_v in_o and_o do_v nothing_o less_o this_o be_v but_o one_o of_o their_o trick_n to_o delude_v the_o people_n withal_o because_o we_o be_v upon_o

of_o necessity_n be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n ergo_fw-la every_o lord_n day_n after_o must_v necessary_o be_v a_o sabbath_n 3._o the_o holy_a ghost_n

time_n i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o year_n after_o paul_n preach_v a_o sermon_n too_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n 5._o there_o be_v a_o collection_n for_o the_o poor_a on_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n a_o poor_a consequence_n 6._o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o

in_o a_o objection_n say_v they_o if_o you_o must_v have_v a_o command_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n show_v we_o you_o then_o where_o we_o have_v a_o come_v for_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n 1._o i_o answer_v you_o do_v well_o to_o confess_v that_o you_o have_v no_o comm_n for_o your_o
a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

sabbath_n for_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a reason_n this_o sophistry_n every_o man_n may_v see_v i_o come_v now_o to_o their_o reason_n they_o say_v the_o redemption_n be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v to_o know_v whither_o it_o be_v great_a or_o not_o will_v cost_v more_o labour_n than_o this_o their_o reason_n be_v worth_a wherefore_o for_o argument_n

will_v be_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o the_o elect_a unto_o the_o redeem_a and_o to_o those_o only_o which_o have_v faith_n well_o then_o the_o redemption_n be_v neither_o great_a nor_o great_a nor_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o those_o which_o be_v not_o elect_v not_o redeem_v and_o which_o live_v &_o die_v without_o faith_n of_o these_o ij_o sort_n of_o people_n the_o elect_a be_v the_o few_o number_n the_o unbeliever_n be_v the_o great_a number_n well_o then_o see_v how_o these_o thing_n hang_fw-mi together_o the_o thing_n they_o must_v prove_v be_v that_o we_o christian_n that_o be_v all_o we_o christian_n even_o every_o one_o within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v baptize_v all_o these_o aught_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v a_o remembrance_n of_o this_o redemption_n be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o some_o only_o of_o these_o man_n how_o absurd_a be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o joyful_a memory_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o do_v belong_v but_o unto_o some_o of_o they_o only_o as_o not_o to_o the_o one_o half_a of_o they_o this_o be_v as_o if_o they_o will_v undertake_v to_o persuade_v not_o only_o english_a man_n but_o also_o dutch_a man_n &_o french_a man_n to_o keep_v a_o yearly_a joyful_a remembrance_n with_o we_o for_o our_o

and_o such_o as_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n wherefore_o they_o can_v press_v this_o their_o new_a sabbath_n of_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o reason_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o they_o see_v by_o their_o fruit_n do_v already_o believe_v such_o as_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v which_o common_o be_v the_o great_a number_n these_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o city_n town_n &_o parish_n these_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o this_o their_o reason_n therefore_o do_v bewray_v the_o idleness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o we_o must_v have_v such_o a_o sabbath_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o do_v belong_v unto_o all_o and_o to_o every_o man_n none_o except_v and_o such_o be_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v god_n the_o creator_n and_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n to_o know_v how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v by_o god_n direction_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n if_o then_o we_o must_v imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o do_v the_o jew_n god_n the_o creator_n then_o must_v we_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o do_v christ_n himself_o 2._o if_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_a how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o must_v we_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a take_v up_o a_o new_a account_n of_o time_n also_o we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o

must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o redemption_n but_o where_o be_v their_o imitation_n of_o christ_n do_v they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o follow_v their_o calling_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o christ_n do_v &_o do_v they_o keep_v every_o three_o day_n a_o lord_n day_n and_o sabbath_n day_n as_o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o three_o day_n no_o such_o matter_n furthermore_o whereas_o they_o suppose_v that_o we_o have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v a_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o

which_o there_o be_v no_o seven_o day_n therefore_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n or_o first_o proposition_n many_o divine_n be_v of_o judgement_n that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v god_n &_o to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o worship_n &_o service_n as_o moral_n wherefore_o all_o such_o divine_n must_v approve_v of_o

2.15_o argum_fw-la ix_o my_o 9th_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o force_n the_o whole_a four_o come_v

hereunto_o be_v a_o reason_n draw_v from_o his_o own_o example_n because_o that_o in_o those_o six_o day_n god_n himself_o labour_v and_o in_o the_o same_o seven_o day_n god_n himself_o rest_v yea_o and_o therefore_o hallow_v &_o sanctify_v this_o seven_o day_n now_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v more_o liuly_a than_o a_o reason_n draw_v from_o god_n example_n &_o what_o argument_n can_v be_v more_o

because_o we_o may_v together_o with_o antinomians_n libertine_n &_o anabaptist_n as_o well_o abolish_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o with_o they_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o we_o may_v together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n then_o may_v we_o with_o they_o also_o abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n even_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o neither_o we_o may_v nor_o

therefore_o we_o may_v not_o together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n those_o lawless_a christian_n abolish_v by_o the_o scrïpture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptiste_n do_v reject_v the_o santification_n of_o all_o sabbath_n not_o but_o that_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n together_o with_o those_o protestant_a church_n among_o who_o they_o live_v but_o they_o keep_v it_o only_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o as_o in_o obedience_n to_o their_o governor_n yet_o so_o too_o as_o in_o case_n they_o can_v do_v any_o common_a servile_a work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n without_o offence_n to_o any_o they_o will_v and_o do_v profess_v it_o that_o they_o will_v but_o to_o keep_v any_o sabbath_n as_o a_o divine_a institution_n and_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n

that_o so_o way_n may_v be_v make_v for_o holy_a exercise_n then_o so_o it_o be_v enjoin_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n also_o for_o when_o the_o second_o commandment_n injoin_v god_n worship_n

to_o be_v abolish_v
then_o be_v this_o four_o commandment_n a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n of_o thing_n before_o command_v or_o if_o you_o will_v suppose_v that_o that_o particular_a time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v but_o yet_o that_o a_o time_n or_o some_o time_n still_o remain_v in_o the_o four_o come_v why_o still_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o for_o a_o time_n or_o some_o time_n be_v enjoin_v in_o the_o 2th_o come_v for_o where_o god_n require_v his_o worship_n there_o it_o be_v necessary_o infer_v that_o he_o there_o require_v a_o time_n or_o some_o time_n for_o his_o worship_n without_o which_o it_o can_v be_v thus_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o if_o you_o hold_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n for_o a_o abolish_v ceremony_n than_o you_o raze_v and_o deface_v the_o four_o come_v by_o make_v it_o but_o a_o tautology_n and_o a_o needless_a repetition_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v command_v before_o in_o the_o 2th_o come_v it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o affirm_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n to_o be_v a_o jewish_a ceremony_n be_v false_a &_o erroniouse_a the_o contrary_a whereto_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n argum_fw-la xx._n my_o 20_o argument_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n prove_v that_o it_o must_v be_v moral_a or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o day_n at_o all_o command_v now_o by_o the_o four_o come_v and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o we_o abolish_v saturday_n the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v than_o we_o leave_v no_o day_n as_o command_v now_o by_o the_o four_o come_v but_o we_o must_v leave_v a_o day_n as_o command_v now_o by_o the_o four_o commandment_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o abolish_v saturday_n the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n for_o the_o minor_a it_o be_v confess_v by_o all_o that_o there_o be_v a_o day_n command_v now_o by_o the_o four_o come_v &_o therefore_o i_o pass_v that_o point_n as_o grant_v and_o so_o come_v unto_o the_o major_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o i_o prove_v to_o be_v sound_n by_o a_o induction_n of_o particulares_fw-la of_o which_o â—here_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n first_o for_o their_o new-moone_n which_o god_n command_v the_o israelite_n numb_a 28.11_o wherein_o they_o be_v on_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o month_n to_o rest_v from_o labour_n amos._n 8.5_o and_o to_o repair_v unto_o the_o minister_n for_o instruction_n ij_o king_n 4.23_o now_o when_o god_n abolish_v by_o the_o text_n col._n 2.16.17_o that_o very_a day_n command_v in_o that_o law_n numb_a 28.11_o than_o he_o leave_v no_o day_n as_o command_v still_o by_o that_o law_n numb_a 28.11_o in_o the_o next_o place_n come_v we_o unto_o all_o those_o anniversary_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o israelite_n have_v one_o sabbath_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n levit._n 23.24_o again_o the_o israelite_n have_v two_o other_o sabbath_n in_o the_o seven_o month_n as_o we_o read_v levit._n 23.39_o beside_o diverse_a other_o sabbath_n there_o mention_v in_o levit._n 23._o now_o when_o by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16.17_o every_o of_o those_o day_n command_v in_o those_o law_n be_v abolish_v there_o be_v no_o day_n leave_v as_o command_v still_o by_o those_o commandment_n in_o levit._n 23._o now_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n of_o the_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v if_o you_o hold_v it_o a_o ceremony_n as_o there_o be_v of_o those_o other_o day_n which_o be_v ceremony_n levit._n 23._o for_o as_o the_o time_n in_o these_o anniversary_n law_n be_v a_o ceremony_n so_o my_o adversary_n hold_v the_o time_n in_o this_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n wherefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n in_o all_o that_o be_v abolish_v that_o special_a
