long_o than_o ordinary_a 3_o sleep_n refresh_v the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n so_o do_v death_n the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o body_n lie_v down_o a_o weak_a frail_a mortal_a corruptible_a

because_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o so_o not_o of_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o

necessary_a for_o our_o first_o parent_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o innocency_n to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o that_o they_o may_v more_o free_o and_o full_o give_v themselves_o to_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n then_o what_o need_n have_v we_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n now_o in_o our_o corrupt_a estate_n to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n to_o take_v our_o thought_n off_o from_o our_o worldly_a business_n and_o bestow_v they_o whole_o on_o god_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n 2_o the_o commandment_n concern_v the_o sabbath_n be_v place_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o moral_a commandment_n for_o when_o god_n renew_v the_o whole_a moral_a law_n deliver_v it_o most_o solemn_o on_o mount_n sinai_n and_o ingrave_v it_o in_o two_o table_n he_o place_v this_o commandment_n concern_v the_o sabbath_n among_o the_o rest_n and_o make_v it_o one_o entire_a precept_n so_o as_o if_o the_o morality_n thereof_o be_v deny_v and_o

which_o often_o make_v express_v mention_n of_o ten._n 3_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o delivery_n of_o this_o commandment_n confirm_v the_o morality_n and_o perpetuity_n of_o it_o and_o show_v that_o

the_o continuance_n and_o perpetuity_n of_o this_o commandment_n 3_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o that_o which_o by_o a_o careful_a and_o

disposition_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o bind_v to_o spend_v every_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n by_o lay_v aside_o the_o lawful_a work_n of_o our_o calling_n and_o give_v up_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o the_o solemn_a duty_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n who_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v 10._o and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n where_o the_o lord_n do_v require_v of_o we_o as_o well_o to_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o our_o call_v on_o the_o six_o day_n as_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o a_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n i_o deny_v

may_v likewise_o serve_v as_o a_o reason_n why_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v no_o express_a command_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n in_o particular_a namely_o because_o there_o be_v no_o question_n move_v about_o the_o same_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n iii_o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o direction_n how_o to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o the_o sanctification_n whereof_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v 1_o a_o observe_n of_o a_o rest_n 2_o a_o consecrate_v of_o that_o rest_n whole_o to_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n i._o there_o must_v be_v a_o

thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n viz._n of_o thy_o call_v and_o let_v not_o any_o pretend_v the_o greatness_n of_o their_o charge_n as_o a_o plea_n for_o their_o work_n but_o know_v assure_o that_o what_o you_o get_v that_o day_n by_o your_o labour_n will_v contribute_v little_a towards_o your_o charge_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v get_v on_o that_o day_n will_v not_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o lord_n but_o will_v prove_v like_o achans_n wedge_n of_o gold_n

as_o express_o forbid_v by_o god_n himself_o as_o the_o work_n of_o our_o call_v as_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o isa._n 58._o 13._o where_o the_o lord_n require_v of_o his_o people_n that_o they_o turn_v away_o their_o foot_n from_o do_v their_o own_o pleasure_n on_o his_o holy_a day_n and_o that_o they_o call_v the_o sabbath_n a_o delight_n the_o holy_a of_o the_o lord_n honourable_a and_o honour_v he_o not_o do_v their_o own_o wai●s_n nor_o find_v their_o own_o pleasure_n and_o it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o recreation_n do_v more_o steal_v away_o our_o affection_n from_o heavenly_a meditation_n 91._o and_o distract_v we_o in_o god_n service_n than_o the_o work_n of_o our_o call_v whereupon_o say_v st._n augustine_n how_o much_o better_a be_v it_o to_o plough_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n than_o to_o dance_v 3_o from_o all_o immoderate_a eat_n and_o drink_v whereby_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o sleep_v than_o to_o attend_v upon_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o how_o blame-worthy_a be_v they_o who_o make_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o day_n of_o feast_v their_o neighbour_n and_o friend_n for_o though_o it_o be_v lawful_a upon_o this_o day_n to_o make_v such_o provision_n as_o shall_v be_v convenient_a for_o our_o own_o family_n or_o for_o the_o relief_n of_o our_o poor_a neighbour_n yet_o to_o make_v solemn_a feast_n upon_o this_o day_n as_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o too_o many_o whereby_o servant_n be_v keep_v from_o the_o public_a ordinance_n and_o ourselves_o and_o guest_n be_v more_o indispose_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n must_v needs_o be_v unlawful_a and_o therefore_o though_o we_o be_v not_o forbid_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o kindle_v a_o fire_n for_o the_o dress_n of_o meat_n yet_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o make_v not_o such_o a_o flame_n as_o shall_v kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n against_o we_o 4_o from_o all_o worldly_a word_n and_o discourse_v of_o earthly_a affair_n which_o the_o lord_n himself_o express_o forbid_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n not_o speak_v thy_o own_o word_n 13._o which_o import_v talk_v and_o discourse_v of_o worldly_a matter_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o where_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v the_o whole_a man_n to_o rest_v from_o worldly_a work_n there_o he_o command_v as_o the_o hand_n to_o rest_v from_o work_v so_o the_o tongue_n from_o talk_v of_o worldly_a matter_n but_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n the_o lord_n have_v command_v the_o whole_a man_n to_o rest_v from_o worldly_a work_n where_o he_o say_v 10._o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o he_o command_v the_o tongue_n to_o rest_v from_o talk_v of_o worldly_a matter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o hand_n from_o work_v of_o servile_a and_o worldly_a work_n how_o blame-worthy_a then_o be_v they_o who_o make_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o reckoning-day_n with_o workman_n and_o servant_n or_o at_o least_o a_o visit_a day_n among_o their_o friend_n and_o neighbour_n and_o so_o confequent_o a_o day_n of_o idle_a tattle_n about_o their_o profit_n pleasure_n or_o other_o man_n matter_n 5_o as_o from_o worldly_a word_n so_o
