on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v it_o they_o to_o gather_v but_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n there_o shall_v none_o be_v find_v which_o word_n

with_o they_o as_o a_o man_n have_v authority_n say_v see_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o the_o sabbath_n therefore_o he_o give_v you_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n abide_v you_o every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n let_v no_o man_n go_v out_o of_o his_o place_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o these_o word_n moses_n first_o command_v every_o man_n to_o abide_v

of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o first_o be_v from_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o allow_v they_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n where_o out_o of_o these_o word_n let_v we_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o mention_v of_o the_o sabbath_n come_v only_o in_o still_o occasional_o concern_v the_o manna_n and_o not_o of_o purpose_n to_o institute_v a_o sabbath_n but_o whole_o in_o all_o the_o four_o place_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o either_o of_o gather_v the_o

seek_v it_o when_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o all_o this_o to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v keep_v more_o careful_o of_o the_o people_n as_o the_o event_n plain_o show_v for_o upon_o these_o consideration_n about_o the_o manna_n the_o people_n hearken_v to_o moses_n and_o do_v rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n verse_n 30._o the_o second_o thing_n wherewith_o i_o will_v and_o may_v conclude_v my_o answer_n be_v that_o which_o may_v satisfy_v
out_o of_o frame_n 5._o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n that_o adam_n shall_v fall_v the_o first_o six_o day_n because_o when_o moses_n have_v mention_v in_o the_o other_o chapter_n the_o six_o day_n consist_v of_o the_o evening_n and_o morning_n he_o begin_v with_o a_o summary_n repetition_n of_o all_o god_n work_n gene._n 2._o 1._o as_o yet_o without_o crack_n or_o flaw_n in_o they_o second_o with_o mention_v of_o god_n end_v his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o not_o mar_v again_o by_o curse_v of_o it_o as_o yet_o gene._n 2._o 2._o three_o moses_n tell_v we_o how_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o wit_n from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v now_o what_o be_v rest_v but_o the_o lord_n cease_v to_o create_v further_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o what_o he_o have_v create_v and_o his_o pleasurable_a delight_n in_o the_o full_a accomplishment_n of_o his_o work_n do_v in_o those_o six_o day_n and_o his_o rest_v be_v from_o his_o work_n make_v so_o it_o be_v from_o his_o create_v only_o and_o not_o from_o punish_v as_o his_o rest_v shall_v have_v be_v have_v man_n fall_v before_o his_o rest_n here_o speak_v of_o gen._n 2._o 2._o therefore_o from_o all_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o adam_n and_o eve_n fall_v not_o on_o the_o day_n of_o their_o creation_n but_o now_o to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o point_n 2_o from_o adam_n cast_v out_o of_o paradise_n unto_o the_o restore_n of_o religion_n by_o seth_n gen._n 4._o 26._o which_o be_v the_o space_n of_o 235_o

conclude_v hence_o that_o adam_n fail_v in_o all_o these_o no_o why_o then_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n dare_v any_o conclude_v no_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o adam_n because_o it_o be_v not_o

for_o in_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n we_o profess_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n as_o the_o first_o commandment_n teach_v then_o in_o assemble_v together_o and_o worship_v god_n we_o do_v what_o
