and_o the_o sheep_n of_o his_o hand_n as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o apostle_n urge_v we_o to_o hear_v his_o voice_n because_o he_o be_v the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o profession_n

to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n etc._n etc._n all_o this_o he_o do_v as_o our_o shepherd_n and_o he_o do_v it_o also_o as_o the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o

for_o which_o cause_n also_o i_o shall_v stay_v yet_o a_o little_a long_o upon_o these_o two_o chapter_n before_o i_o come_v to_o my_o text_n to_o show_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o by_o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n in_o that_o psal_n 95._o be_v mean_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n day_n which_o may_v be_v clear_v in_o this_o manner_n first_o it_o be_v

to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n for_o if_o joshuah_n have_v give_v they_o rest_n namely_o that_o rest_n of_o which_o david_n speak_v than_o will_v he_o not_o afterward_o have_v speak_v of_o another_o day_n therefore_o of_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n it_o must_v be_v mean_v else_o the_o apostle_n argument_n have_v not_o be_v conclude_v nor_o pertinent_a because_o many_o other_o day_n may_v have_v afterward_o be_v speak_v of_o although_o joshuah_n have_v give_v they_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v expect_v second_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o such_o a_o rest_n as_o god_n can_v and_o sometime_o do_v swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n against_o his_o own_o people_n who_o be_v his_o house_n and_o the_o people_n of_o his_o pasture_n that_o they_o

and_o sabbath_n how_o this_o may_v be_v say_v concern_v that_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o in_o open_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o abraham_n three_o that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n rest_n appear_v by_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o apostle_n argue_v in_o this_o place_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o apostle_n prove_v it_o to_o be_v another_o day_n of_o rest_n beside_o what_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n before_o another_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o that_o because_o david_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o a_o rest_n to_o be_v enter_v into_o a_o long_a time_n after_o although_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_n be_v enter_v into_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o speak_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n say_v in_o this_o wise_a and_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n and_o in_o this_o place_n again_o if_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o my_o rest_n imply_v a_o promise_n that_o some_o shall_v though_o other_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o it_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n this_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n david_n of_o a_o time_n then_o to_o come_v and_o again_o that_o he_o limit_v a_o certain_a day_n say_v in_o david_n to_o day_n after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n there_o remain_v therefore_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o sabbath_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n namely_o over_o and_o beside_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n now_o from_o this_o his_o manner_n of_o argue_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o suppose_v this_o day_n of_o which_o david_n speak_v say_v to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v because_o else_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o opposition_n to_o be_v make_v nor_o will_v there_o have_v be_v place_n for_o a_o although_o or_o a_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o case_n as_o in_o v._o 31._o because_o any_o other_o rest_n may_v have_v also_o be_v enter_v into_o from_o the_o

application_n of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n and_o thereupon_o he_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v another_o day_n of_o rest_n remain_v for_o we_o beside_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o by_o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n be_v not_o mean_v only_o of_o a_o christian_n personal_a rest_n by_o faith_n which_o be_v every_o day_n enjoyment_n and_o be_v enter_v
