this_o special_a argument_n be_v one_o the_o first_o end_n be_v the_o principal_a sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o first_o end_n and_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a 5._o the_o second_o reason_n

meet_v with_o very_o special_a objection_n which_o be_v bring_v by_o adversary_n to_o prejudice_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sabbath_n against_o the_o moral_a obseruâ—ion_n of_o it_o and_o here_o to_o know_v what_o be_v moral_o and_o ceremonial_o command_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o give_v we_o this_o special_a rule_n when_o a_o law_n thing_n be_v urge_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o have_v

can_v no_o more_o see_v the_o true_a sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o the_o pure_a mean_n and_o manner_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v for_o
all_o sound_a learned_a whereof_o i_o have_v read_v some_o there_o be_v no_o figure_n until_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n from_o which_o our_o parent_n be_v yet_o free_a but_o a_o mean_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o innocence_n in_o that_o notwithstanding_o their_o excellent_a creation_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o fall_v therefore_o this_o end_n must_v be_v the_o chief_a this_o be_v not_o

and_o then_o afterward_o renew_v in_o mount_n sinai_n so_o that_o this_o moral_a end_n be_v the_o first_o end_n and_o common_a end_n and_o although_o as_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o more_o special_a

may_v be_v refresh_v where_o this_o spare_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v add_v as_o a_o reason_n draw_v from_o that_o humanity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n not_o as_o a_o thing_n for_o this_o special_a

can_v take_v away_o the_o principal_a and_o be_v the_o latter_a it_o can_v take_v away_o the_o former_a it_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o accessary_a be_v take_v away_o the_o principal_n shall_v also_o be_v abrogate_a but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o accessary_a remove_v the_o principal_a may_v remain_v the_o appertinance_n be_v past_a the_o more_o general_a substance_n

exempt_v from_o the_o curse_n do_v not_o sever_v god_n from_o man_n nor_o man_n from_o man_n therefore_o the_o law_n moral_a be_v not_o abrogate_a for_o nothing_o be_v disannul_v but_o the_o rigour_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o divorcement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o be_v between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a as_o we_o may_v gather_v coloss_n 2._o and_o galat._n 4._o wherefore_o we_o affirm_v that_o as_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n as_o concern_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v abrogate_a when_o one_o thing_n have_v diverse_a end_n if_o one_o end_n be_v remove_v the_o other_o may_v remain_v for_o as_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

they_o do_v foreshow_v christ_n to_o come_v they_o be_v go_v as_o they_o assure_v we_o what_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n they_o remain_v still_o with_o us._n and_o as_o for_o one_o example_n we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n two_o end_n the_o one_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v now_o cease_v the_o other_o a_o seal_n of_o repentance_n

religion_n as_o ever_o they_o need_v the_o same_o remain_v with_o us._n now_o if_o the_o sabbath_n be_v but_o a_o sign_n of_o spiritual_a rest_n as_o some_o have_v phantasticallie_o think_v and_o not_o rather_o a_o holy_a school_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o will_v grant_v it_o ceremonial_a but_o sce_v this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n and_o that_o

to_o the_o second_o reason_n draw_v as_o we_o have_v show_v from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o contain_v in_o these_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n

reason_n derive_v from_o the_o time_n wherein_o the_o lord_n first_o command_v the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v in_o man_n innocence_n so_o that_o if_o before_o transgression_n it_o be_v a_o effectual_a

be_v a_o thing_n of_o small_a effect_n to_o urge_v the_o use_n to_o they_o who_o be_v not_o ground_v on_o the_o doctrine_n and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o overmatch_v the_o affection_n until_o judgement_n

and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o order_n many_o excellent_a sermon_n have_v little_a effect_n for_o where_o judgement_n by_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o convince_v there_o many_o exhortation_n fall_v to_o

in_o reason_n full_a than_o any_o other_o commandment_n commandment_n if_o we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n we_o may_v observe_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o six_o precept_n in_o many_o word_n and_o four_o naked_o in_o bare_a word_n as_o the_o 6._o the_o 7._o the_o 8._o and_o the_o 9_o why_o then_o be_v the_o first_o five_o commandment_n so_o apparel_v with_o reason_n

of_o man_n heart_n they_o be_v set_v down_o more_o piercing_o this_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o first_o and_o last_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n in_o the_o first_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v honour_n to_o lax._n be_v give_v to_o parent_n he_o enforce_v his_o commandment_n with_o annex_v a_o promise_n of_o long_a life_n and_o why_o even_o judgement_n herein_o be_v much_o

though_o they_o be_v corrupt_v for_o the_o lord_n leave_v not_o his_o people_n to_o worship_n as_o they_o list_v because_o obedience_n be_v ever_o better_a than_o sacrifice_n 15._o the_o lord_n make_v

of_o the_o sin_n and_o then_o follow_v that_o in_o practice_v which_o be_v in_o word_n or_o in_o precept_n this_o be_v also_o see_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o fast_a wherein_o no_o man_n must_v

be_v in_o that_o the_o lord_n give_v six_o day_n to_o work_v and_o but_o one_o to_o serve_v he_o if_o the_o first_o be_v a_o permission_n do_v endure_v for_o ever_o then_o do_v the_o other_o also_o

of_o the_o creature_n &_o the_o apostle_n do_v leave_v all_o thing_n free_a and_o therefore_o these_o day_n come_v not_o for_o any_o religious_a use_n 16_o but_o some_o may_v except_v the_o lord_n

and_o not_o for_o himself_o therefore_o they_o may_v not_o follow_v he_o unless_o they_o have_v the_o like_a reason_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o humble_v for_o any_o singular_a benefit_n as_o in_o the_o coronation_n of_o the_o prince_n yet_o these_o day_n be_v not_o take_v up_o of_o man_n but_o the_o lord_n blow_v the_o trumpet_n and_o in_o neglect_v they_o it_o be_v sin_n for_o god_n must_v have_v this_o prerogative_n only_o to_o make_v law_n see_v the_o equity_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n belong_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o the_o lord_n create_v all_o thing_n and_o give_v they_o to_o all_o and_o all_o may_v have_v use_n of_o they_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a proof_n that_o the_o reason_n be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o they_o and_o so_o this_o commandment_n 17_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o commandment_n show_v the_o same_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v never_o command_v but_o this_o also_o be_v command_v and_o the_o corruption_n thereof_o never_o correct_v but_o this_o also_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o sabbath_n especial_o numb_a 15._o and_o be_v all_o this_o because_o of_o the_o pretermit_a of_o a_o ceremony_n will_v he_o not_o be_v ever_o worship_v in_o spirit_n never_o to_o delight_v in_o the_o ceremony_n therefore_o this_o be_v because_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v contemn_v 18_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v change_v once_o it_o be_v meet_v but_o never_o to_o be_v change_v again_o for_o as_o day_n then_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n for_o the_o creation_n be_v most_o fit_a so_o now_o the_o day_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v most_o fit_a see_v now_o the_o world_n be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v make_v new_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v change_v 19_o then_o they_o can_v not_o kindle_v fire_n which_o we_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v ceremonial_a first_o sabbath_n some_o think_v that_o commandment_n be_v but_o for_o time_n of_o the_o wilderness_n second_o the_o jew_n in_o every_o commandment_n have_v something_o ceremonial_a which_o we_o have_v not_o now_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n we_o be_v to_o read_v and_o teach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o belong_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o but_o to_o
