cease_v from_o our_o earthly_a affair_n and_o all_o worldly_a business_n to_o attend_v the_o better_a on_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v exercise_v to_o know_v

labour_v say_v the_o lord_n this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o god_n command_v we_o hereby_o precise_o to_o labour_v howbeit_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o be_v bear_v to_o this_o and_o we_o know_v that_o god_n mean_v not_o we_o shall_v be_v idle_a as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n for_o he_o have_v give_v man_n hand_n and_o foot_n force_n and_o strength_n to_o

without_o trouble_v or_o torment_v himself_o but_o yet_o before_o that_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o be_v in_o this_o sort_n condemn_v of_o god_n to_o this_o painful_a &_o weariesome_a travel_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o man_n shall_v exercise_v themselves_o with_o some_o labour_n and_o why_o because_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o our_o nature_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o log_n and_o block_n unprofitable_a so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o some_o labour_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n but_o yet_o here_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o command_v that_o we_o travel_v six_o day_n for_o indeed_o there_o be_v other_o solemnity_n under_o the_o law_n beside_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o complain_v of_o yield_v unto_o he_o one_o certain_a day_n when_o he_o leave_v unto_o we_o six_o for_o one_o as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v shall_v the_o cost_n and_o charge_n

to_o be_v grievous_a and_o burdensome_a unto_o you_o see_v you_o have_v six_o day_n free_a to_o traffic_v and_o to_o do_v your_o business_n in_o when_o i_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o you_o that_o i_o demand_v but_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v not_o this_o a_o over_o great_a unthankfulness_n on_o your_o part_n if_o you_o complain_v of_o this_o time_n as_o be_v evil_o employ_v and_o if_o you_o be_v such_o covetous_a &_o niggardlie_a wretch_n as_o not_o to_o spare_v i_o one_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o time_n i_o have_v give_v you_o your_o whole_a life_n whensoever_o the_o sun_n

we_o for_o a_o perfect_a doctrine_n of_o sanctimony_n and_o holiness_n see_v then_o we_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o preseut_v unto_o we_o all_o that_o which_o be_v requisite_a there_o be_v

namely_o to_o renounce_v ourselves_o when_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v have_v we_o not_o all_o that_o which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v very_o hardly_o do_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v the_o more_o diligent_a heed_n to_o awaken_v and_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o god_n command_v we_o to_o observe_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n know_v that_o this_o be_v not_o in_o sport_v ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v herein_o to_o use_v force_n with_o ourselves_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o our_o life_n we_o shall_v have_v well_o profit_v if_o we_o come_v to_o observe_v this_o day_n of_o rest_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o renounce_v all_o that_o which_o be_v of_o our_o own_o and_o by_o dedicate_a ourselves_o whole_o unto_o our_o god_n and_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v inflame_v to_o observe_v spiritual_o this_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n see_v we_o be_v franchise_v from_o this_o servile_a subjection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o we_o a_o great_a privilege_n than_o unto_o the_o ancient_a father_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v content_v that_o we_o be_v mortify_v in_o our_o old_a man_n to_o be_v renew_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o bind_v to_o the_o observe_n of_o that_o ceremony_n which_o be_v so_o straight_o keep_v under_o the_o law_n therefore_o when_o god_n handle_v we_o so_o love_o this_o bind_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o principal_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v due_o observe_v it_o and_o we_o may_v not_o allege_v that_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v have_v the_o ceremony_n to_o stir_v they_o up_o and_o that_o this_o serve_v as_o a_o spur_n to_o prick_v they_o forward_o for_o we_o have_v much_o more_o than_o the_o outward_a and_o exterior_a sign_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v 17._o that_o in_o he_o all_o this_o which_o have_v be_v figure_v under_o a_o shadow_n may_v be_v fulfil_v wherefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o desire_v these_o small_a thing_n which_o have_v be_v under_o the_o law_n you_o see_v then_o how_o this_o which_o have_v be_v ordain_v concern_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n be_v accomplish_v at_o this_o day_n touch_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o figure_n whereof_o the_o father_n have_v a_o sight_n under_o a_o shadow_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o which_o be_v command_v of_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n be_v common_a &_o belong_v unto_o ve_fw-la as_o well_o as_o unto_o they_o for_o let_v we_o take_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o perpetual_a rule_n of_o justice_n see_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o under_o the_o ten_o commandment_n god_n will_v geve_v a_o rule_n which_o shall_v endure_v for_o ever_o so_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o this_o which_o moses_n recite_v touch_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n be_v superfluous_a and_o not_o appertein_v to_o we_o not_o that_o the_o figure_n yet_o abide_v but_o we_o have_v the_o truth_n thereof_o 10._o see_v to_o this_o purpose_n why_o the_o apostle_n appli_v to_o the_o instruction_n of_o christian_n and_o of_o the_o new_a church_n this_o which_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n for_o he_o declare_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o conform_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o god_n and_o that_o this_o be_v our_o full_a and_o perfect_a felicity_n so_o for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o chief_a happiness_n of_o man_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v create_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n what_o ought_v we_o now_o sithence_o this_o image_n be_v deface_v &_o blot_v out_o by_o sum_n but_o to_o study_v to_o renew_v and_o repair_v it_o see_v then_o how_o i_o ought_v to_o march_v on_o forward_o to_o our_o perfection_n namely_o that_o in_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o our_o god_n and_o to_o his_o will_n we_o inquire_v and_o seek_v after_o his_o work_n to_o the_o end_n to_o endeavour_n to_o do_v the_o like_a let_v we_o know_v therefore_o that_o at_o this_o day_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o serve_v god_n our_o duty_n be_v to_o bestow_v all_o the_o pain_n we_o be_v able_a to_o tread_v under_o our_o own_o thought_n and_o affection_n that_o god_n may_v reign_v and_o bear_v rule_n in_o we_o that_o he_o may_v guide_v &_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o all_o hypocrite_n may_v well_o mask_v and_o disguise_v themselves_o they_o may_v well_o paint_v their_o do_n and_o show_v fair_a countenance_n yet_o nevertheless_o as_o long_o as_o their_o wicked_a lust_n shall_v be_v close_v up_o and_o hide_v in_o their_o heart_n as_o long_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o envy_n of_o rancour_n of_o ambition_n of_o cruelty_n or_o of_o deceit_n it_o be_v certain_a they_o shall_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o violate_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n or_o day_n of_o rest_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o they_o pervert_v all_o the_o service_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o we_o have_v already_o allege_v out_o of_o ezechiel_n and_o as_o it_o be_v also_o speak_v hereof_o in_o jeremy_n and_o mark_v we_o why_o the_o ceremony_n be_v so_o straight_o under_o the_o law_n think_v we_o that_o god_n ever_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o idleness_n of_o man_n certain_a it_o be_v he_o have_v not_o and_o yet_o he_o punish_v as_o grievous_o he_o which_o break_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n to_o labour_v therein_o as_o if_o he_o have_v murder_v a_o man_n and_o why_o so_o it_o seem_v that_o it_o be_v extreme_a cruelty_n that_o for_o gather_v of_o stick_n on_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n a_o man_n must_v die_v as_o if_o he_o do_v commit_v murder_n 32._o yet_o the_o lord_n condemn_v he_o to_o death_n which_o gather_v stick_n in_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n and_o why_o because_o that_o under_o this_o figure_n be_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a service_n of_o god._n 21._o and_o see_v why_o in_o jeremy_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o have_v carry_v burden_n on_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n and_o why_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n stay_v himself_o to_o much_o on_o a_o trifle_a and_o childish_a thing_n but_o he_o have_v respect_n unto_o this_o which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o be_v so_o neglect_v of_o the_o jew_n this_o be_v as_o open_a sacrilege_n whereby_o they_o do_v declare_v that_o the_o whole_a law_n be_v of_o small_a account_n amongst_o they_o so_o then_o to_o come_v to_o ourselves_o forasmuch_o as_o at_o this_o day_n we_o have_v not_o this_o figure_n so_o precise_a and_o so_o straight_o but_o that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o great_a liberty_n obtain_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o learn_v with_o all_o diligence_n to_o bequest_n

for_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o time_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o withal_o we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o alone_o think_v on_o god_n

aught_o to_o be_v do_v every_o day_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o because_o of_o the_o rawness_n and_o sloth_n of_o man_n it_o be_v behooveful_a to_o have_v one_o special_a day_n which_o may_v whole_o

in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o deed_n this_o exercise_n be_v more_o than_o needful_a for_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v all_o so_o incline_v unto_o evil_n that_o we_o need_v not_o any_o

observe_v one_o certain_a day_n in_o the_o which_o they_o shall_v come_v together_o but_o to_o we_o also_o as_o common_a with_o they_o but_o yet_o herewithal_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o this_o be_v not_o all_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a bare_a and_o naked_a thing_n that_o our_o hand_n only_o and_o our_o foot_n shall_v rest_v and_o that_o nothing_o else_o shall_v be_v do_v what_o must_v we_o then_o do_v we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o rest_n to_o a_o more_o high_a and_o excellent_a thing_n we_o ought_v to_o cease_v from_o those_o work_n which_o may_v hinder_v the_o work_n of_o god_o let_v we_o from_o call_v on_o of_o his_o name_n stay_v we_o from_o exercise_v of_o ourselves_o in_o his_o holy_a word_n if_o we_o employ_v the_o sunday_n to_o make_v good_a cheer_n to_o

let_v we_o consider_v whether_o they_o which_o call_v themselves_o christian_n acquit_v themselves_o in_o this_o point_n as_o be_v requisite_a a_o great_a part_n of_o man_n think_v they_o have_v the_o

their_o duty_n in_o the_o open_a street_n so_o that_o the_o sunday_n be_v to_o they_o but_o a_o retreat_n to_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n and_o congregation_n of_o god_n by_o this_o one_o may_v see_v what_o affection_n we_o have_v toward_o all_o christianity_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_o see_v that_o by_o this_o which_o be_v give_v we_o for_o a_o aid_n and_o help_v to_o
