first_o i_o shall_v premise_v this_o that_o as_o the_o second_o so_o the_o four_o commandment_n come_v in_o some_o thing_n under_o a_o difrferent_a consideration_n from_o most_o if_o not_o from_o all_o the_o rest_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o there_o be_v something_o in_o each_o of_o they_o be_v moral_a natural_a and_o something_o which_o be_v only_o positive_a in_o the_o second_o commandment_n this_o be_v moral_a natural_a that_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v worship_v not_o as_o man_n will_v themselves_o but_o as_o god_n himself_o will_v and_o describe_v but_o in_o what_o ordinance_n or_o act_n

be_v only_o positive_a so_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n this_o be_v moral_a natural_a that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n a_o sufficient_a time_n for_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o such_o a_o sufficient_a time_n as_o leave_v sufficiency_n of_o time_n for_o our_o worldly_a business_n and_o affair_n this_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v but_o without_o some_o

that_o which_o i_o shall_v here_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o be_v that_o in_o apoc._n 1.10_o where_o john_n give_v this_o account_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n this_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o point_v at_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v by_o scripture_n even_o about_o the_o nature_n and_o meaning_n of_o a_o phrase_n unless_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o text_n where_o it_o be_v use_v why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v take_v in_o that_o text_n as_o in_o other_o this_o be_v general_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o good_a and_o safe_a rule_n for_o interpretation_n of_o difficult_a place_n why_o then_o may_v not_o this_o phrase_n prove_v it_o be_v the_o day_n institute_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v parallel_n with_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n himself_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n direct_v both_o paul_n and_o john_n in_o their_o expression_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v use_v but_o once_o a_o piece_n and_o never_o apply_v to_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o to_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n why_o shall_v these_o ordinance_n be_v hold_v forth_o under_o the_o same_o expression_n if_o these_o have_v not_o the_o same_o institution_n it_o will_v seem_v strange_a to_o i_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n passover_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n though_o a_o supper_n ordinance_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o it_o seem_v somewhat_o strange_a if_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n shall_v be_v assert_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n without_o some_o further_a proof_n than_o to_o say_v it_o be_v so_o i_o can_v produce_v testimony_n from_o antiquity_n of_o some_o that_o live_v near_o and_o of_o one_o that_o live_v some_o considerable_a time_n with_o john_n himself_o who_o have_v interpret_v the_o lord_n day_n mention_v in_o the_o revelation_n to_o be_v the_o first_o day_n but_o because_o you_o quote_v no_o such_o testimony_n neither_o will_v i._o i_o have_v be_v careful_a to_o observe_v your_o order_n and_o to_o proceed_v in_o this_o order_n only_o in_o a_o scriptural_a way_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o apostle_n expression_n from_o their_o practice_n and_o expression_n i_o come_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o they_o be_v record_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 16.1_o 2._o and_o that_o of_o galatia_n and_o of_o troas_n former_o mention_v who_o have_v their_o weekly_a solemn_a assembly_n on_o the_o first_o day_n i_o forbear_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o justification_n of_o our_o translation_n because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o you_o touch_v upon_o no_o such_o thing_n in_o your_o paper_n desire_v to_o be_v deal_v withal_o in_o a_o scriptural_a not_o in_o a_o grammatical_a way_n only_o i_o can_v but_o add_v this_o because_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v according_a to_o scripture_n that_o it_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n be_v imagine_v that_o these_o church_n will_v have_v make_v such_o a_o important_a change_n of_o the_o day_n for_o their_o solemn_a assembly_n from_o what_o be_v former_o use_v by_o god_n appointment_n among_o the_o jew_n without_o consult_v with_o some_o at_o least_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o most_o likely_a with_o paul_n as_o be_v best_o acquaint_v with_o he_o hardly_o i_o think_v can_v there_o be_v produce_v any_o instance_n that_o particular_a church_n ever_o do_v determine_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n by_o their_o own_o authority_n without_o consult_v i_o say_v with_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n consider_v how_o in_o other_o matter_n not_o altogether_o of_o so_o great_a a_o concernment_n they_o consult_v with_o paul_n 2_o cor._n 7._o and_o as_o hardly_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o apostle_n will_v ever_o give_v they_o any_o such_o direction_n unless_o they_o have_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v give_v you_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o the_o matter_n will_v permit_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o dissent_n from_o you_o in_o the_o sense_n that_o you_o give_v of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o of_o what_o former_o have_v and_o still_o do_v satisfy_v my_o conscience_n that_o the_o day_n be_v change_v and_o that_o by_o divine_a authority_n and_o that_o without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n that_o which_o i_o have_v yet_o to_o do_v be_v to_o give_v you_o my_o thought_n concern_v your_o reason_n produce_v for_o the_o confirm_v your_o proposition_n which_o may_v be_v do_v with_o a_o little_a addition_n to_o what_o have_v say_v do_v already_o 1._o first_o you_o say_v those_o weighty_a reason_n which_o jehovah_n the_o saviour_n himself_o have_v give_v to_o enforce_v obedience_n unto_o his_o commandment_n in_o observe_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n holy_a to_o himself_o do_v proper_o belong_v and_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v the_o last_o day_n in_o every_o week_n in_o order_n of_o time_n in_o the_o weekly_a return_n of_o it_o as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n and_o be_v applicable_a to_o no_o other_o day_n and_o these_o you_o say_v be_v three_o 1._o first_o you_o say_v god_n rest_v only_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v the_o last_o day_n in_o every_o week_n answ_n i_o answer_v thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o last_o day_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o rather_o as_o a_o reason_n of_o that_o limitation_n six_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v allow_v for_o labour_n one_o of_o which_o seven_o be_v a_o day_n for_o holy_a rest_n and_o not_o a_o argument_n engage_v to_o observe_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o reason_n that_o prevail_v with_o i_o so_o to_o judge_v i_o have_v give_v before_o 2_o dly_z second_o your_o second_o and_o three_o reason_n i_o join_v they_o together_o he_o blessed_v and_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n because_o you_o bring_v one_o and_o the_o same_o proof_n for_o both_o and_o beside_o they_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o in_o conjunction_n together_o he_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o separate_v it_o from_o common_a use_n to_o be_v the_o day_n for_o his_o solemn_a worship_n and_o he_o bless_v it_o appoint_v it_o to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o blessing_n to_o the_o right_a observer_n of_o it_o in_o what_o sense_n i_o understand_v this_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o account_n before_o it_o be_v true_a when_o this_o law_n be_v first_o give_v to_o adam_n be_v then_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n so_o you_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v and_o therein_o i_o assent_v and_o consent_n with_o you_o the_o blessing_n be_v applicable_a to_o no_o other_o day_n but_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o because_o man_n continue_v in_o that_o bless_a state_n there_o be_v not_o there_o can_v not_o be_v suppose_v a_o more_o eminent_a work_n than_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o now_o man_n be_v fall_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v every_o way_n more_o glorious_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o blessing_n be_v applicable_a to_o the_o first_o day_n the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n for_o then_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v manifest_v to_o be_v full_o perfect_v and_o god_n bless_v for_o

i_o desire_v you_o to_o look_v back_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v there_o make_v evident_a that_o the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n be_v on_o the_o first_o day_n and_o
