of_o any_o power_n but_o god_n to_o blot_v they_o out_o be_v as_o perpetual_a as_o other_o law_n so_o write_v &_o reserve_v but_o so_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n write_v and_o reserve_v no_o ceremonial_a or_o judicial_a be_v so_o therefore_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v as_o permanent_a as_o the_o other_o nine_o 46_o second_o that_o law_n that_o be_v establish_v before_o christ_n be_v promise_v or_o need_v to_o be_v promise_v can_v be_v ceremonial_a or_o have_v reference_n to_o christ_n to_o come_v but_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o 7._o day_n be_v establish_v before_o christ_n be_v promise_v therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o ceremonial_a but_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n moral_a and_o perpetual_a 47_o three_o it_o imply_v a_o plain_a

therefore_o the_o church_n have_v no_o christian_a liberty_n to_o alter_v the_o lord_n day_n into_o any_o other_o 69_o the_o second_o reason_n the_o church_n can_v never_o alter_v any_o part_n of_o
