observe_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o jew_n law_n which_o require_v man_n not_o to_o kill_v and_o steal_v do_v it_o follow_v that_o therefore_o the_o people_n in_o america_n observe_v the_o jew_n seventh-day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o these_o kind_n of_o arguing_n the_o same_o with_o mr._n coppinger_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o jew_n law_n and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n but_o do_v not_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o appear_v for_o be_v there_o not_o thousand_o of_o good_a people_n in_o england_n

the_o observation_n of_o that_o day_n be_v not_o moral_a the_o reason_n i_o shall_v give_v be_v because_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sick_a of_o a_o violent_a distemper_n that_o have_v bereave_v he_o of_o

seven_o day_n sabbath_n first_o he_o speak_v to_o christian_n in_o general_a therefore_o to_o gentile_n because_o he_o call_v they_o brethren_n and_o write_v to_o they_o as_o believer_n and_o tell_v

they_o to_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o old_a testament_n except_o they_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n than_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v one_o point_n of_o this_o law_n jam._n 2._o but_o the_o apostle_n refer_v they_o to_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o they_o can_v not_o

keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n mr._n ives_n i_o have_v answer_v to_o this_o argument_n over_o and_o over_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v take_v a_o little_a time_n to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n more_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v desire_v we_o may_v go_v to_o a_o fresh_a argument_n first_o then_o this_o word_n whole_a law_n it_o either_o respect_v the_o whole_a law_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o observe_v or_o the_o whole_a law_n that_o christian_n be_v to_o observe_v if_o the_o whole_a law_n here_o respect_v the_o law_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o observe_v then_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o observe_v ceremony_n as_o well_o as_o moral_n for_o thus_o whole_a law_n be_v understand_v both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n when_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o law_n the_o jew_n be_v to_o keep_v as_o appear_v gal._n 5.3_o compare_v with_o 2_o chron._n 33.8_o where_o god_n tell_v israel_n that_o he_o will_v never_o remove_v they_o if_o they_o will_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n with_o the_o statute_n and_o ordinance_n but_o second_o this_o word_n whole_a law_n do_v relate_v to_o the_o law_n of_o liberty_n which_o believer_n be_v to_o keep_v which_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n as_o appear_v by_o compare_v james_n 1._o for_o 25._o with_o james_n 2_o and_o 12_o where_o he_o bid_v they_o so_o speak_v and_o so_o do_v

be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o indeed_o of_o a_o royal_a law_n and_o a_o law_n of_o liberty_n which_o christian_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n in_o do_v by_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v untoâ—_n for_o what_o law_n soever_o christ_n have_v commend_v and_o confirm_v to_o we_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n these_o law_n indeed_o we_o must_v keep_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o christ_n have_v not_o confirm_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o our_o information_n therein_o any_o otherwise_o then_o as_o the_o four_o commandment_n enjoin_v a_o time_n to_o worship_n

this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o therefore_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o jewish_a or_o seven_o day_n rest_n no_o more_o than_o it_o prove_v we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o literal_a canaan_n because_o he_o allude_v also_o to_o that_o literal_a canaan_n in_o which_o joshua_n conduct_v israel_n but_o he_o rather_o inform_v they_o that_o as_o they_o under_o the_o law_n have_v a_o time_n of_o

the_o six_o argument_n and_o that_o be_v draw_v from_o mat._n 24.20_o ver_fw-la where_o christ_n bid_v the_o disciple_n pray_v that_o their_o flight_n be_v not_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whence_o

the_o sabbath_n for_o they_o to_o fly_v to_o save_v their_o life_n three_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v on_o that_o day_n be_v because_o the_o

of_o a_o law_n they_o do_v mean_a that_o which_o be_v not_o express_o and_o particular_o repeal_v than_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o passover_n for_o that_o be_v once_o a_o law_n and_o be_v never_o

compute_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o joshua_n time_n and_o haste_v not_o to_o go_v down_o for_o a_o whole_a day_n and_o likewise_o the_o sun_n go_v backward_o ten_o degree_n in_o hezekiahs_n time_n which_o be_v almost_o half_a a_o day_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v a_o perfect_a account_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n three_o a_o man_n can_v know_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o four_o but_o by_o tradition_n therefore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o moral_a as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n sick_a of_o a_o violent_a distemper_n that_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o sense_n when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o

case_n put_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n upon_o the_o world_n to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o law_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v moral_a the_o second_o argument_n which_o i_o urge_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n to_o the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o command_v by_o moses_n law_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n my_o

law_n be_v in_o force_n to_o require_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v not_o express_o and_o particular_o require_v of_o they_o by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n than_o we_o may_v by_o

last_o argument_n viz._n that_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o require_v by_o christ_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n first_o because_o he_o have_v not_o express_o require_v any_o such_o

i_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o include_v in_o these_o word_n day_n month_n time_n and_o year_n my_o last_o reason_n why_o christ_n never_o commánd_v the_o gentile_n to_o

much_o great_a he_o urge_v why_o they_o that_o sow_v spiritual_a thing_n shall_v partake_v of_o temporal_a thing_n so_o that_o though_o god_n have_v free_v we_o from_o that_o maintenance_n of_o

commandment_n also_o as_o to_o a_o time_n for_o believer_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o but_o not_o as_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n for_o so_o say_v my_o argument_n but_o as_o they_o be_v implant_v

sabbath_n mr._n coppinger_n all_o believer_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n mr._n ives_n i_o have_v urge_v one_o general_a argument_n in_o the_o former_a disputation_n to_o prove_v that_o believe_a gentile_n be_v not_o command_v to_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o second_o time_n in_o expectation_n of_o your_o answer_n which_o argument_n be_v as_o follow_v if_o believe_v gentile_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n than_o they_o be_v bind_v either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o

ergo_fw-la believe_v gentile_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n mr._n coppinger_n i_o answer_v that_o believe_a gentile_n be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n if_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n you_o mean_v the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n mr._n ives_n i_o do_v mean_v the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n mr._n coppinger_n then_o pray_v put_v your_o
