have_v finish_v after_o he_o have_v make_v they_o in_o the_o six_o day_n before_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o love_v and_o esteem_v particular_o that_o day_n have_v in_o that_o respect_n

that_o be_v true_a it_o shall_v follow_v that_o the_o israelite_n do_v not_o observe_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o obligation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n tie_v they_o thereunto_o but_o only_o in_o general_a one_o of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o by_o some_o other_o particular_a law_n they_o be_v teach_v to_o observe_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o although_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n ordinance_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v concern_v the_o sabbath_n say_v no_o more_o than_o do_v the_o four_o commandment_n and_o be_v relative_a unto_o it_o whereas_o it_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o the_o jew_n in_o all_o time_n have_v profess_v and_o do_v still_o make_v profession_n that_o they_o keep_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o express_a obligation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o according_a to_o this_o say_n they_o do_v never_o understand_v all_o these_o be_v as_o many_o palpable_a absurdity_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o four_o commandment_n ordain_v express_o and_o formal_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o particular_a seven_o day_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o and_o not_o of_o another_o 25_o nevertheless_o it_o may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sort_n that_o any_o day_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v celebrate_v to_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n have_v its_o foundation_n on_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o that_o so_o we_o now_o do_v observe_v our_o sunday_n and_o other_o solemn_a and_o extraordinary_a day_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o commandment_n not_o that_o it_o enjoin_v they_o proper_o and_o direct_o but_o only_o indirect_o and_o by_o deduction_n or_o consequence_n take_v from_o the_o foundation_n and_o general_a end_n thereof_o which_o be_v to_o enjoin_v all_o man_n to_o serve_v god_n public_o and_o to_o consecrate_v for_o that_o purpose_n some_o solemn_a time_n which_o in_o this_o respect_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v may_v be_v all_o refer_v unto_o it_o not_o as_o be_v command_v in_o their_o particular_a kind_n but_o only_o in_o their_o genus_fw-la which_o be_v covert_o and_o fundamental_o contain_v in_o it_o and_o therewith_o determine_v express_o to_o one_o kind_n only_o to_o wit_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o not_o for_o ever_o but_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n only_o wherefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o four_o commandment_n oblige_v only_o and_o in_o express_a term_n to_o a_o seven_o day_n unstint_v and_o not_o to_o this_o particular_a seven_o which_o be_v here_o the_o point_n in_o question_n be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o unreasonable_a as_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o have_v be_v say_v 26_o it_o be_v also_o a_o thing_n far_o remove_v from_o all_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o very_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o certain_a day_n of_o seven_o to_o wit_n the_o last_o be_v a_o thing_n ceremonial_a and_o positive_a and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o day_n which_o the_o gospel_n have_v abrogate_a but_o to_o observe_v always_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v moral_a and_o that_o this_o be_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o determination_n and_o particular_a observation_n of_o any_o day_n whatsoever_o among_o a_o certain_a number_n in_o quality_n of_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v a_o moral_a thing_n now_o to_o ordain_v one_o of_o seven_o to_o be_v keep_v make_v a_o determination_n and_o particular_a observation_n not_o forsooth_o so_o particular_a as_o when_o one_o of_o seven_o as_o for_o example_n the_o last_o be_v by_o name_n determine_v and_o appoint_v yet_o so_o far_o particular_a that_o none_o can_v devise_v far_o less_o tell_v reasonable_o wherefore_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o morality_n to_o ordain_v and_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n regular_o rather_o than_o to_o ordain_v and_o observe_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o wherefore_o the_o gospel_n shall_v confirm_v that_o more_o than_o this_o abrogate_v this_o more_o than_o that_o wherefore_o final_o there_o be_v lesser_a inconvenience_n to_o avouch_v that_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o positive_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o ordain_v a_o particular_a seven_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o last_o whereof_o some_o of_o those_o against_o who_o i_o dispute_v be_v constrain_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o establishment_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n but_o as_o of_o a_o ceremony_n as_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v also_o ceremonial_a and_o positive_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o ordain_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o which_o be_v the_o point_n i_o stand_v unto_o 27_o very_o there_o be_v far_o more_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o the_o four_o commandment_n ordain_v as_o a_o moral_a thing_n the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o there_o be_v for_o that_o purpose_n a_o stint_a day_n ordinary_a common_a and_o so_o frequent_a in_o its_o revolution_n that_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o practice_n and_o exercise_v of_o that_o service_n for_o the_o continual_a edification_n of_o the_o church_n for_o nature_n teach_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n be_v frequent_o practise_v which_o have_v as_o great_a force_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o under_o the_o law_n but_o that_o the_o say_a commandment_n oblige_v precise_o to_o a_o seven_o day_n and_o to_o that_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o ceremony_n and_o of_o order_n which_o be_v for_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o have_v be_v disannul_v by_o the_o gospel_n 28_o for_o since_o the_o gospel_n come_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o its_o self_n indifferent_a to_o observe_v not_o forsooth_o one_o day_n of_o any_o number_n how_o great_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v as_o of_o thirty_o sixty_o of_o a_o hundred_o or_o of_o a_o year_n which_o as_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v shall_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o serve_v god_n public_o by_o his_o people_n and_o shall_v bewray_v in_o such_o a_o people_n a_o great_a negligence_n and_o want_n of_o affection_n to_o god_n service_n but_o one_o of_o four_o of_o five_o of_o six_o or_o in_o sum_n of_o such_o a_o number_n wherein_o that_o day_n may_v return_v frequent_o and_o suffice_v for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o religion_n and_o godliness_n and_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o four_o commandment_n that_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v very_o suitable_a and_o fit_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o under_o the_o gospel_n dedicate_v less_o to_o god_n for_o see_v god_n ordain_v to_o the_o jew_n other_o way_n burden_a with_o many_o other_o ceremony_n and_o holy_a day_n one_o of_o seven_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n probable_a enough_o that_o christian_n ought_v to_o consecrate_v to_o he_o at_o least_o as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o of_o their_o time_n which_o nevertheless_o god_n leave_v to_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n to_o ordain_v with_o wisdom_n and_o conscience_n as_o have_v be_v already_o say_v and_o so_o although_o the_o ceremonial_a order_n prescribe_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n concern_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n oblige_v not_o precise_o and_o direct_o the_o christian_a church_n she_o may_v notwithstanding_o infer_v from_o thence_o good_a instruction_n whereby_o she_o may_v be_v direct_v in_o thing_n concern_v a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n public_a service_n as_o she_o make_v a_o good_a use_n for_o her_o direction_n of_o many_o other_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n who_o will_v rash_o maintain_v that_o it_o suffice_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o observe_v one_o day_n of_o twenty_o or_o of_o a_o hundred_o he_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o refute_v by_o the_o foresay_a reason_n beside_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o have_v judge_v it_o fit_a to_o observe_v one_o of_o seven_o day_n which_o practise_v no_o man_n shall_v gainsay_v but_o he_o shall_v forthwith_o bewray_v himself_o to_o be_v new-fangled_a fantastical_a and_o self-willed_n 28_o of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o inconvenience_n allege_v in_o the_o argument_n be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v for_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o it_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n to_o say_v that_o of_o ten_o commandment_n contain_v in_o the_o decalogue_n there_o be_v but_o nine_o moral_n which_o oblige_v we_o now_o and_o that_o the_o law_n which_o be_v call_v moral_n belong_v not_o unto_o we_o in_o all_o

in_o any_o day_n whatsoever_o according_a as_o every_o one_o shall_v have_v the_o commodity_n till_o the_o apostle_n come_v and_o be_v to_o cease_v after_o he_o at_o his_o come_n have_v receive_v the_o whole_a sum_n that_o these_o contribution_n shall_v amount_v unto_o and_o so_o of_o this_o passage_n can_v be_v gather_v the_o observation_n of_o any_o day_n and_o far_o less_o of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o ecclesiastical_a meeting_n whereof_o according_a to_o this_o exposition_n which_o have_v a_o great_a likeness_n of_o truth_n no_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o it_o 4_o but_o second_o although_o the_o apostle_n have_v intend_v to_o stint_v the_o corinthian_n to_o a_o particular_a day_n wherein_o they_o be_v to_o put_v a_o part_n every_o one_o with_o himself_o a_o

probable_o in_o other_o to_o meet_v together_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o in_o no_o wise_a that_o the_o apostle_n have_v give_v they_o a_o injunction_n concern_v that_o day_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o foresay_a word_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o injunction_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n but_o of_o the_o collection_n only_o not_o of_o the_o time_n wherein_o they_o be_v to_o be_v make_v which_o time_n the_o apostle_n suppose_v only_o as_o receive_v and_o observe_v among_o they_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o command_v it_o not_o 6_o fo●_n the_o word_n be_v concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v give_v order_n to_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n even_o so_o do_v you_o 1_o cor._n 16._o vers_fw-la 1._o where_o we_o see_v the_o injunction_n have_v reference_n to_o the_o collection_n as_o to_o the_o end_n thereof_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o the_o day_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v levy_v in_o he_o

and_o consequent_o for_o the_o collection_n 7_o i_o say_v therefore_o that_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v institute_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o although_o they_o have_v ordain_v it_o it_o shall_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n a_o express_a commandment_n so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o matter_n concern_v the_o

11._o vers_fw-la 23._o and_o as_o christ_n have_v give_v they_o the_o commandment_n matth._n 28._o vers_fw-la 20._o but_o as_o for_o thing_n which_o be_v whole_o of_o order_n they_o have_v power_n

prescribe_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n they_o shall_v be_v unto_o we_o mean_n of_o blessing_n as_o be_v unto_o the_o jew_n their_o exercise_n and_o whatsoever_o day_n the_o church_n shall_v appoint_v ordinary_o for_o that_o use_n see_v jesus_n christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o her_o that_o liberty_n and_o have_v not_o make_v any_o particular_a determination_n thereupon_o it_o shall_v be_v

be_v against_o all_o reason_n to_o esteem_v that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v unto_o we_o a_o particular_a day_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o jew_n our_o condition_n shall_v be_v worse_o than_o they_o for_o that_o be_v alike_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o christian_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o the_o jew_n because_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v unto_o they_o a_o particular_a place_n whereunto_o he_o have_v allot_v the_o public_a exercise_n of_o his_o service_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o christian_n do_v not_o ordinary_o

will_v have_v the_o choice_n and_o settle_v of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o to_o depend_v on_o their_o liberty_n and_o leave_v that_o to_o their_o zeal_n and_o wisdom_n even_o as_o it_o be_v their_o great_a prerogative_n that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o free_a from_o all_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n which_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v love_v they_o more_o and_o will_v not_o use_v they_o rigid_o as_o little_a child_n or_o servant_n but_o as_o child_n of_o a_o ripe_a age_n and_o as_o a_o willing_a people_n 28_o so_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o although_o the_o four_o commandment_n oblige_v we_o always_o to_o appoint_v a_o ordinary_a day_n for_o god_n service_n yet_o no_o solid_a thing_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o word_n thereof_o to_o prove_v the_o

and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o impertinent_a argumentation_n that_o because_o all_o the_o particularity_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n may_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n
