may_v be_v object_n expound_v thus_o god_n do_v actual_o purpose_n to_o sanctify_v it_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n if_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v only_a resp_n to_o purpose_n

for_o the_o further_a clear_v of_o this_o truth_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o argument_n of_o some_o learned_a person_n why_o they_o conceive_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o institute_v till_o

soul_n may_v have_v more_o immediate_a communion_n with_o god_n return_v to_o thy_o rest_n o_o my_o soul_n say_v the_o psalmist_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o cease_n from_o all_o

on_o other_o day_n he_o shall_v have_v dress_v and_o keep_v the_o garden_n though_o every_o day_n be_v to_o be_v spend_v in_o holiness_n mediate_o in_o see_v god_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o meet_v

and_o though_o it_o be_v no_o pain_n to_o he_o to_o dress_v the_o garden_n yet_o this_o must_v needs_o take_v up_o his_o thought_n while_o he_o be_v about_o it_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n have_v object_n have_v not_o set_v sabbath_n and_o why_o man_n in_o innocency_n the_o state_n of_o innocency_n on_o earth_n shall_v resp_n not_o have_v be_v in_o all_o thing_n alike_o to_o

to_o be_v sanctify_v one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n either_o by_o infusion_n of_o holiness_n or_o sanctification_n into_o it_o now_o the_o circumstance_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o sanctification_n in_o this_o sense_n only_o rational_a creature_n angel_n and_o man_n may_v be_v say_v thus_o to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o separation_n of_o it_o from_o common_a use_n and_o

must_v either_o be_v for_o the_o use_n of_o god_n or_o man_n either_o god_n must_v impose_v upon_o himself_o the_o observation_n of_o every_o seven_o day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a which_o be_v
