that_o with_o a_o true_a hart_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o to_o confound_v also_o and_o condemn_v and_o leave_v without_o excuse_n before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n such_o as_o will_v

keep_v not_o the_o same_o sabbath_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v but_o the_o day_n be_v alter_v therefore_o they_o say_v we_o must_v keep_v none_o this_o be_v their_o argument_n of_o so_o great_a weight_n but_o how_o foolish_a it_o shall_v appear_v easy_o if_o we_o examine_v it_o a_o little_a more_o narrow_o for_o though_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o self_n same_o day_n that_o they_o do_v yet_o we_o have_v the_o same_o commandment_n &_o authority_n for_o our_o day_n that_o that_o they_o have_v for_o they_o therefore_o this_o day_n that_o we_o keep_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o revel_v 1._o

for_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o spirit_n which_o always_o assist_v they_o in_o their_o ministerial_a office_n do_v alter_v the_o day_n &_o themselves_o keep_v &_o ordain_v

the_o jew_n and_o be_v of_o no_o less_o force_n now_o then_o before_o then_o second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n and_o of_o our_o keep_v this_o day_n be_v no_o less_o than_o of_o their_o keep_v that_o day_n for_o when_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v than_o the_o memorial_n of_o that_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o now_o that_o a_o great_a &_o more_o excellent_a work_n be_v do_v namely_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o great_a work_n shall_v carry_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o day_n they_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n because_o on_o that_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n we_o this_o eight_o day_n because_o in_o it_o christ_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n which_o be_v a_o great_a work_n cause_v a_o change_n of_o the_o day_n sith_o then_o the_o day_n be_v not_o change_v without_o good_a warrant_n and_o strong_a reason_n that_o alteration_n and_o vary_v of_o the_o day_n detract_v nothing_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o force_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o the_o church_n may_v at_o their_o pleasure_n alter_v it_o that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o there_o can_v never_o be_v a_o authority_n great_a than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o a_o cause_n great_a than_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o neither_o can_v the_o day_n be_v change_v for_o to_o make_v a_o new_a day_n where_o no_o such_o warrant_n do_v allow_v nor_o no_o cause_n occasion_n it_o be_v to_o take_v more_o upon_o they_o than_o be_v fit_a for_o if_o the_o jew_n in_o former_a time_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v it_o holy_a have_v only_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o think_v upon_o and_o to_o remember_v by_o the_o celebrate_n of_o their_o seven_o day_n then_o how_o much_o more_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o this_o reverence_n and_o a_o great_a since_o beside_o this_o benefit_n of_o our_o make_n we_o have_v a_o great_a of_o our_o redeem_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n add_v unto_o it_o so_o that_o any_o one_o of_o the_o two_o ought_v to_o sanctify_v it_o more_o rather_o than_o to_o cast_v it_o of_o all_o together_o and_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o give_v this_o day_n whole_o to_o god_n by_o how_o much_o he_o have_v show_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o speak_v or_o think_v of_o this_o change_n but_o we_o shall_v also_o call_v to_o mind_n this_o great_a benefit_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o adam_n have_v cause_n to_o spend_v a_o day_n in_o praise_v god_n for_o his_o creation_n than_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n see_v beside_o that_o we_o have_v also_o the_o redemption_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n we_o keep_v not_o the_o self_n same_o day_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v therefore_o the_o duty_n be_v abollish_v and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v none_o then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n one_o may_v conclude_v thus_o you_o see_v we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o sacrament_n for_o the_o outward_a seal_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v for_o they_o have_v circumcision_n and_o they_o have_v the_o pascall_n lamb_n what_o tell_v you_o i_o of_o the_o consecrate_v water_n and_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n hallow_v the_o jew_n have_v no_o such_o matter_n since_o these_o sign_n be_v alter_v i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o ceremony_n and_o we_o need_v not_o regard_v baptism_n &_o the_o supper_n this_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n in_o this_o case_n for_o though_o the_o shadow_n be_v other_o yet_o the_o substance_n be_v the_o same_o christ_n jesus_n be_v signify_v by_o our_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o well_o as_o by_o their_o lamb_n and_o our_o baptism_n be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o regeneration_n as_o well_o as_o their_o circumcision_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o despise_v they_o but_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v careful_a to_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o they_o because_o the_o service_n be_v more_o easy_a &_o the_o promise_n more_o lightsome_a if_o then_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sacrament_n because_o the_o outward_a seal_n be_v alter_v than_o it_o be_v as_o weak_a a_o consequence_n that_o we_o have_v no_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v because_o the_o day_n be_v alter_v and_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o same_o that_o they_o do_v so_o that_o no_o proof_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o vary_a of_o the_o day_n that_o the_o duty_n be_v abolish_v because_o the_o authority_n be_v as_o strong_a the_o reason_n as_o good_a and_o the_o same_o reason_n do_v not_o hold_v in_o other_o thing_n again_o they_o object_n that_o to_o a_o christian_n every_o day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o restrain_v it_o to_o one_o day_n more_o than_o another_o but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o it_o be_v most_o false_a for_o god_n do_v not_o require_v neither_o be_v a_o christian_n able_a to_o keep_v every_o day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v on_o earth_n indeed_o in_o heaven_n he_o shall_v keep_v a_o continual_a sabbath_n unto_o the_o lord_n but_o now_o so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o otheir_o day_n as_o betwixt_o the_o consecrate_v bread_n we_o receive_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o the_o common_a bread_n we_o receive_v at_o our_o own_o table_n this_o be_v true_a that_o every_o one_o must_v serve_v god_n on_o the_o six_o day_n and_o all_o his_o life_n long_o but_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n we_o must_v not_o only_o serve_v god_n

special_a thing_n to_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o commandment_n shall_v be_v tie_v only_o to_o they_o for_o god_n command_v they_o to_o keep_v the_o seven_o because_o it_o be_v most_o equal_a be_v that_o he_o have_v permit_v six_o day_n for_o their_o business_n why_o and_o have_v he_o not_o give_v we_o liberty_n to_o labour_v six_o day_n in_o our_o call_n and_o be_v not_o the_o equity_n altogether_o as_o forceable_a to_o we_o in_o every_o age_n as_o it_o be_v to_o they_o in_o their_o age_n if_o god_n have_v take_v from_o we_o none_o of_o the_o six_o day_n which_o he_o give_v to_o

not_o dare_v to_o employ_v it_o any_o other_o way_n then_o according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o do_v not_o this_o reason_n hold_v as_o strong_o now_o have_v we_o any_o privilege_n grant_v to_o lay_v

to_o this_o end_n consecrate_v that_o it_o may_v bring_v a_o blessing_n have_v time_n wear_v out_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v god_n less_o able_a to_o bless_v we_o or_o shall_v we_o less_o desire_n or_o do_v we_o less_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o his_o blessing_n than_o they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o reason_n be_v firm_a and_o strong_a the_o length_n of_o time_n can_v abrogate_v the_o truth_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o reason_n therefore_o neither_o can_v it_o disannul_v the_o commandment_n for_o where_o god_n give_v a_o ceremonial_a commandment_n which_o he_o will_v have_v the_o jew_n only_o to_o observe_v there_o he_o frame_v his_o reason_n thereafter_o from_o some_o thing_n that_o special_o touch_v the_o jew_n &_o have_v no_o such_o affinity_n and_o agreement_n to_o other_o nation_n as_o for_o the_o passover_o he_o command_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o why_o because_o the_o angel_n pass_v over_o their_o house_n when_o he_o destroy_v the_o egyptian_n and_o they_o must_v give_v the_o first_o bear_v to_o god_n why_o because_o god_n do_v not_o smite_v their_o first_o bear_v in_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o egyptian_n and_o so_o many_o other_o ceremony_n have_v reason_n annex_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n show_v that_o they_o do_v only_o bind_v the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n but_o of_o all_o the_o reason_n here_o allege_v we_o see_v that_o none_o be_v ceremonial_a peculiar_a or_o proper_a to_o the_o jew_n but_o every_o one_o common_a to_o all_o and_o as_o large_a as_o all_o the_o world_n therefore_o those_o that_o can_v exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o argument_n confirm_v the_o commandment_n may_v not_o pull_v their_o neck_n out_o of_o the_o commandment_n second_o from_o the_o time_n when_o this_o commandment_n be_v first_o give_v and_o the_o keep_n holy_a of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n institute_v we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o the_o commandment_n be_v no_o more_o

of_o adam_n the_o first_o man_n and_o be_v of_o like_a antiquity_n the_o first_o seven_o day_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v sanctify_v as_o any_o that_o follow_v as_o may_v appear_v

his_o innocence_n have_v they_o great_a knowledge_n and_o more_o grace_n than_o he_o have_v before_o his_o fall_n why_o but_o god_n see_v it_o needful_a for_o adam_n to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n and_o if_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o be_v without_o sin_n himself_o have_v no_o clog_n of_o corruption_n to_o hinder_v he_o no_o sinner_n to_o infect_v no_o ill_a example_n to_o seduce_v yet_o i_o say_v

among_o people_n of_o pollute_a lip_n &_o which_o can_v without_o far_o great_a destruction_n &_o weariness_n also_o follow_v our_o calling_n if_o adam_n have_v need_v of_o a_o sabbath_n when_o he_o

but_o must_v make_v conscience_n and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v they_o all_o and_o every_o one_o first_o because_o he_o that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o one_o be_v the_o author_n also_o of_o all_o

what_o ever_o she_o shall_v ask_v and_o then_o also_o he_o grow_v to_o persecute_v john_n and_o cut_v off_o his_o head_n and_o when_o he_o have_v once_o take_v leave_n to_o break_v the_o seven_o he_o

that_o settle_v not_o himself_o to_o keep_v they_o all_o this_o must_v also_o teach_v we_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v not_o bless_v we_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n to_o those_o that_o

out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o he_o which_o sin_n against_o this_o commandment_n unless_o he_o do_v sound_o repent_v shall_v feel_v god_n hand_n heavy_a upon_o he_o god_n will_v never_o put_v

himself_o therefore_o since_o man_n let_v it_o slip_v so_o easy_o god_n will_v take_v the_o more_o notice_n of_o it_o and_o punish_v it_o more_o sharp_o for_o indeed_o man_n be_v more_o careful_a far_o of_o their_o own_o vainglory_n then_o of_o god_n glory_n and_o therefore_o if_o god_n shall_v refer_v it_o to_o man_n assize_n it_o be_v sure_a little_a order_n will_v be_v take_v for_o it_o yea_o common_o it_o be_v see_v that_o those_o which_o shall_v reform_v and_o correct_v other_o in_o this_o point_n have_v themselves_o most_o need_n to_o be_v reform_v and_o correct_v &_o the_o

in_o god_n step_n indeed_o some_o froward_a man_n will_v take_v a_o more_o violent_a and_o boisterous_a course_n but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v account_v the_o child_n of_o god_n buy_v with_o the_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o no_o sure_a proof_n that_o he_o have_v beget_v you_o to_o life_n eternal_a then_o when_o you_o grow_v like_a unto_o he_o and_o show_v forth_o his_o image_n in_o your_o life_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v best_o to_o set_v god_n before_o we_o as_o a_o pattern_n be_v because_o his_o example_n be_v so_o absolute_a in_o all_o fullness_n of_o perfection_n that_o no_o exception_n can_v be_v take_v against_o it_o bring_v the_o example_n and_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n against_o which_o a_o man_n may_v except_v to_o lessen_v the_o force_n of_o it_o as_o david_n and_o peter_n and_o such_o good_a man_n have_v have_v their_o slip_n and_o no_o man_n live_v so_o holy_a but_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v in_o some_o thing_n we_o sin_v all_o but_o the_o example_n of_o god_n be_v so_o exact_a and_o altogether_o righteous_a without_o any_o spot_n at_o any_o time_n that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v allege_v against_o it_o second_o if_o one_o make_v god_n his_o example_n he_o shall_v grow_v better_o and_o better_o because_o still_o he_o shall_v come_v short_a of_o the_o mark_n he_o aim_v at_o &_o never_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v to_o the_o perfection_n which_o be_v in_o his_o example_n so_o that_o still_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o proportion_n to_o go_v on_o and_o to_o grow_v if_o one_o set_v man_n for_o his_o copy_n either_o he_o may_v write_v as_o well_o as_o his_o copy_n or_o at_o least_o he_o may_v imagine_v that_o he_o do_v &_o then_o he_o stand_v at_o a_o stay_n and_o think_v he_o have_v do_v well_o he_o may_v cease_v now_o but_o this_o example_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o such_o conceit_n no_o man_n either_o can_v or_o will_v dream_v that_o he_o can_v be_v as_o good_a as_o god_n so_o that_o here_o be_v still_o occasion_n of_o mend_v and_o increase_n three_o he_o that_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o man_n have_v great_a mean_n of_o pride_n and_o to_o be_v puff_v up_o for_o compare_v himself_o with_o man_n he_o be_v not_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o his_o fault_n but_o rather_o think_v this_o &_o this_o i_o have_v do_v and_o in_o most_o thing_n i_o be_o equal_a to_o the_o best_a and_o so_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n to_o grow_v conceit_v of_o himself_o but_o now_o he_o leave_v man_n look_n unto_o god_n and_o cast_v his_o eye_n first_o on_o god_n and_o then_o on_o himself_o he_o see_v so_o much_o imperfection_n in_o himself_o and_o such_o infinite_a righteousness_n and_o goodness_n in_o god_n as_o that_o upon_o this_o comparison_n he_o grow_v more_o humble_a and_o holy_a and_o to_o know_v himself_o more_o so_o that_o though_o he_o grow_v better_o every_o day_n than_o other_o yet_o he_o think_v worse_a of_o himself_o every_o day_n than_o other_o and_o have_v a_o great_a insight_n into_o his_o own_o corruption_n by_o how_o much_o he_o get_v more_o strength_n against_o his_o corruption_n in_o these_o regard_v therefore_o and_o for_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v most_o safe_a and_o profitable_a to_o make_v god_n example_n a_o line_n for_o himself_o and_o to_o follow_v his_o precedent_n so_o near_o as_o he_o can_v in_o all_o thing_n this_o than_o may_v serve_v to_o the_o confutation_n of_o those_o man_n that_o let_v pass_v god_n example_n as_o nothing_o pertain_v to_o they_o think_v to_o dash_v all_o commandment_n and_o all_o rebuke_n with_o this_o one_o answer_n that_o all_o man_n do_v so_o as_o though_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a buckler_n to_o bear_v off_o all_o god_n commandment_n and_o the_o force_n of_o his_o example_n because_o the_o example_n of_o most_o man_n be_v contrary_a as_o namely_o in_o this_o one_o commandment_n which_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n god_n have_v most_o strong_o fence_v with_o reason_n &_o among_o other_o with_o one_o draw_v from_o his_o own_o practice_n and_o example_n come_v to_o sabbath_n breaker_n that_o abuse_v it_o to_o sin_n and_o vanity_n how_o dare_v you_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o break_v god_n express_a commandment_n with_o so_o high_a a_o

the_o matter_n no_o father_n will_v endure_v such_o a_o answer_n of_o his_o child_n this_o manner_n of_o defend_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o fault_n but_o so_o we_o deal_v with_o god_n he_o send_v
