this_o do_v aggravate_v our_o sin_n exceed_o if_o we_o give_v not_o this_o day_n to_o god_n do_v not_o this_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n of_o adam_n in_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n in_o that_o

that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o set_a day_n for_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v find_v out_o that_o but_o that_o it_o must_v be_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o that_o

of_o the_o scripture_n there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n take_v from_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n as_o other_o law_n the_o very_a law_n of_o reason_n will_v enforce_v they_o but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o reason_n for_o this_o but_o only_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n have_v command_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v and_o be_v his_o will_n it_o must_v be_v perform_v for_o god_n may_v require_v six_o day_n for_o himself_o and_o leave_v we_o but_o one_o day_n god_n may_v have_v ordain_v it_o so_o but_o god_n intend_v we_o shall_v live_v by_o the_o sweat_n of_o

the_o lord_n 2._o have_v command_v this_o seven_o day_n so_o he_o say_v it_o be_v his_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n now_o than_o if_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n than_o we_o must_v not_o divert_v any_o of_o the_o hour_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o day_n away_o when_o our_o mind_n run_v into_o the_o world_n we_o must_v curb_v they_o and_o remember_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n three_o another_o reason_n be_v that_o our_o cattle_n 3._o and_o

sanctify_v 4._o it_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o then_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o appoint_v it_o if_o he_o have_v set_v it_o a_o part_n for_o that_o purpose_n for_o spiritual_a employment_n and_o not_o to_o be_v fill_v up_o with_o any_o thing_n else_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o sacrilege_n if_o we_o do_v not_o

we_o shall_v drown_v ourselves_o in_o the_o world_n the_o six_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o as_o it_o must_v be_v rest_v one_o of_o seven_o so_o it_o be_v not_o indifferent_a which_o of_o the_o

may_v see_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o the_o lord_n do_v find_v fault_n with_o israel_n for_o not_o keep_v of_o it_o which_o intimate_v it_o be_v a_o day_n they_o well_o know_v and_o the_o lord_n say_v afterward_o to_o moses_n how_o long_o will_v you_o refuse_v to_o keep_v my_o law_n and_o statute_n as_o in_o the_o 28._o vers_fw-la the_o lord_n there_o speak_v of_o a_o

it_o be_v not_o a_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o a_o positive_a law_n equipollent_a with_o the_o moral_a law_n a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v write_v by_o 3._o the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o tabel_n of_o stone_n and_o put_v into_o the_o ark_n exod._n 31._o 18._o and_o deut._n 10._o 12._o the_o commandment_n be_v write_v upon_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o

morality_n of_o it_o for_o as_o a_o reverend_n divine_a say_v not_o to_o think_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o be_v moral_a be_v the_o way_n to_o all_o atheism_n for_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o

be_v write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n if_o we_o root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n we_o shall_v root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n therefore_o the_o writing_n of_o it_o in_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v a_o evident_a argument_n of_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o to_o all_o age_n a_o four_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v 4._o this_o commandment_n more_o than_o any_o other_o commandment_n in_o the_o decalogue_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v question_v the_o first_o or_o second_o or_o any_o of_o the_o ten_o as_o well_o as_o this_o for_o first_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v make_v this_o commandment_n large_a than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n second_o he_o have_v make_v it_o strong_a and_o urge_v it_o with_o more_o argument_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n 3._o he_o have_v fix_v a_o memento_n remember_v before_o it_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v be_v careful_a of_o this_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o forget_v it_o take_v heed_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v teach_v you_o the_o contrary_a that_o this_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a 4._o it_o be_v negative_o deliver_v and_o affirmative_o the_o other_o deliver_v only_o one_o way_n either_o affirmative_o only_a as_o the_o five_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n or_o else_o negative_o only_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v never_o a_o commandment_n deliver_v both_o negative_o and_o affirmative_o but_o only_o the_o four_o as_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a there_o it_o be_v deliver_v affirmative_o and_o afterward_o it_o be_v deliver_v negative_o in_o it_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n thou_o nor_o thy_o son_n nor_o thy_o daughter_n etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v it_o both_o way_n note_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v equal_a and_o equipollent_a with_o the_o other_o and_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o in_o infinite_a wisdom_n because_o he_o have_v not_o write_v this_o commandment_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v it_o more_o with_o argument_n that_o what_o be_v want_v in_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n may_v be_v supply_v by_o the_o press_n of_o argument_n 5._o another_o argument_n be_v because_o if_o this_o be_v 5._o not_o moral_a than_o we_o have_v not_o ten_o moral_a commandment_n there_o be_v but_o nine_o now_o this_o be_v false_a for_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o commandment_n be_v ten_o as_o deut._n 10._o 4._o it_o be_v not_o a_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v it_o as_o you_o may_v see_v there_o and_o he_o write_v upon_o the_o table_n according_a to_o the_o first_o writing_n the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o mount_n out_o of_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fire_n the_o lord_n speak_v ten_o commandment_n now_o if_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a there_o be_v not_o ten_o

they_o delight_n in_o this_o and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o count_v it_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n fear_v god_n the_o more_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

institute_v a_o whole_a day_n it_o be_v madness_n and_o want_v of_o reason_n for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v the_o contrary_n suppose_v i_o hire_v a_o man_n to_o labour_n with_o i_o for_o a_o day_n do_v

and_o it_o be_v so_o in_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o curtail_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o the_o servant_n of_o hanun_n do_v the_o

and_o we_o give_v he_o but_o a_o part_n we_o shall_v bring_v vengeance_n upon_o our_o own_o head_n there_o be_v divers_a argument_n for_o it_o first_o the_o 1._o week_n consist_v of_o seven_o day_n and_o he_o have_v give_v six_o to_o we_o and_o reserve_v one_o day_n to_o himself_o now_o we_o will_v grant_v that_o we_o have_v not_o part_v of_o six_o day_n but_o six_o whole_a day_n if_o you_o

whole_a day_n if_o we_o take_v any_o part_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n than_o we_o have_v more_o than_o six_o day_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n another_o reason_n be_v this_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o 2._o day_n now_o look_v what_o time_n god_n rest_v that_o time_n we_o must_v sanctify_v now_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n all_o of_o it_o he_o leave_v none_o of_o the_o

much_o more_o this_o solemn_a day_n again_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n 5._o have_v be_v concern_v a_o whole_a day_n i_o can_v instance_n in_o the_o father_n as_o in_o
