we_o read_v in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n about_o the_o deluge_n do_v refer_v to_o this_o custom_n where_o we_o find_v noah_n send_v forth_o the_o dove_n and_o the_o raven_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o plain_o hint_n to_o we_o his_o observe_v of_o that_o day_n for_o it_o seem_v that_o noah_n have_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n on_o that_o solemn_a day_n implore_v the_o assistance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o family_n he_o expect_v a_o particular_a blessing_n from_o it_o and_o we_o can_v but_o make_v some_o reflection_n on_o that_o which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o xxix_o of_o genesis_n concern_v the_o term_n of_o a_o week_n set_v apart_o to_o the_o nuptial_n of_o leah_n 27._o gen._n xxix_o 27._o where_o at_o the_o twenty_o seven_o verse_n laban_n thus_o express_v himself_o fulfil_v her_o week_n and_o we_o will_v give_v thou_o this_o also_o for_o the_o service_n which_o thou_o shall_v serve_v with_o i_o yet_o seven_o other_o year_n this_o week_n here_o do_v so_o plain_o signify_v a_o week_n of_o day_n that_o it_o can_v be_v more_o natural_o express_v and_o indeed_o all_o general_o understand_v by_o this_o week_n of_o the_o marriage_n feast_n of_o leah_n that_o term_n of_o time_n which_o in_o succeed_a age_n have_v be_v customary_a to_o allot_v to_o nuptial_a festival_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o book_n of_o esther_n where_o the_o wedding_n feast_n of_o vasthi_n last_v seven_o day_n this_o term_n of_o seven_o day_n have_v so_o long_o since_o be_v consecrate_a to_o nuptial_a rejoice_n the_o same_o we_o may_v also_o gather_v from_o the_o time_n which_o be_v ordinary_o allot_v to_o mourning_n for_o the_o dead_a to_o which_o we_o find_v the_o patriarch_n allot_v a_o term_n proportion_v to_o that_o of_o their_o rejoice_n for_o as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o egyptian_n mourn_v ten_o week_n for_o jacob_n because_o of_o his_o quality_n as_o be_v the_o father_n of_o joseph_n so_o we_o find_v that_o joseph_n and_o those_o that_o accompany_v he_o mourn_v seven_o day_n at_o his_o innterment_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o as_o we_o find_v that_o this_o custom_n be_v perpetual_o afterward_o observe_v by_o the_o jew_n as_o appear_v from_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la xxii_o 12._o so_o likewise_o we_o find_v the_o same_o observe_v by_o the_o asiatic_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o history_n of_o ammianus_n marcellinus_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o nineteenth_o book_n l._n de_fw-fr fide_fw-la resur_n in_o obitu_fw-la sat._n p._n 321._o seven_o day_n be_v fulfil_v after_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v smite_v the_o river_n jalkut_n in_o h._n l._n and_o from_o they_o it_o pass_v to_o the_o christian_n as_o we_o find_v in_o st._n ambrose_n three_o it_o appear_v from_o exod._n vii_o 25._o that_o god_n observe_v seven_o day_n after_o he_o have_v smite_v the_o river_n to_o change_v the_o water_n thereof_o into_o blood_n from_o whence_o the_o jew_n conclude_v that_o the_o three_o plague_n viz._n that_o of_o blood_n of_o frog_n and_o of_o louse_n abode_n on_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n six_o day_n and_o be_v withdraw_v on_o the_o seven_o which_o be_v the_o sabbath_n we_o may_v also_o gather_v if_o we_o calculate_v the_o time_n exact_o that_o the_o jew_n in_o egypt_n observe_v the_o sabbath_n we_o find_v from_o the_o history_n of_o their_o departure_n out_o of_o egypt_n that_o the_o same_o happen_v on_o a_o thursday_n be_v the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o month_n nisan_fw-la and_o the_o day_n in_o which_o they_o sing_v those_o hymn_n of_o deliverance_n be_v the_o sabbath_n which_o god_n have_v particular_o set_v apart_o for_o this_o week_n it_o be_v also_o evident_a from_o exod._n xvi_o that_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v observe_v by_o the_o israelite_n before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n for_o we_o find_v god_n speak_v there_o concern_v the_o sabbath_n not_o as_o of_o a_o thing_n new_o institute_v but_o as_o of_o a_o ancient_a law_n which_o they_o be_v e_z not_o to_o transgress_v by_o gather_v the_o manna_n on_o that_o day_n for_o he_o order_v they_o to_o gather_v a_o double_a portion_n the_o six_o day_n and_o not_o to_o gather_v any_o on_o the_o seven_o we_o see_v that_o the_o israelite_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v here_o suppose_v a_o know_v and_o customary_a thing_n prescribe_v to_o they_o by_o a_o law_n of_o old_a they_o who_o go_v forth_o to_o gather_v manna_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v represent_v as_o transgressor_n of_o a_o know_a law_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o moses_n how_o long_o refuse_v you_o to_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o my_o law_n moses_n also_o speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o next_o day_n as_o of_o a_o thing_n customary_a and_o receive_v among_o they_o to_o morrow_n say_v he_o at_o v._o 23._o be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n of_o holiness_n unto_o the_o lord_n word_n which_o will_v have_v be_v unintelligible_a to_o the_o israelite_n and_o express_v a_o law_n altogether_o impracticable_a in_o case_n they_o have_v be_v destitute_a of_o any_o further_a knowledge_n concern_v it_o and_o have_v not_o be_v acquaint_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a day_n in_o which_o the_o great_a work_n of_o creation_n have_v be_v finish_v my_o four_o observation_n i_o take_v from_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o decalogue_n where_o first_o of_o all_o we_o find_v god_n speak_v in_o this_o manner_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o word_n clear_o import_v 8._o exod._n xx._n 8._o that_o the_o law_n he_o give_v be_v not_o a_o new_a law_n but_o indeed_o as_o old_a as_o the_o world_n and_o which_o have_v be_v observe_v by_o their_o forefather_n it_o seem_v probable_a also_o that_o god_n express_v himself_o in_o these_o term_n because_o the_o tyranny_n of_o pharaoh_n have_v force_v they_o to_o break_v this_o law_n by_o oblige_v they_o to_o deliver_v their_o tale_n of_o brick_n every_o day_n without_o except_v the_o sabbath_n which_o before_o he_o have_v allow_v they_o to_o keep_v this_o be_v explain_v very_o distinct_o in_o the_o five_o of_o exodus_fw-la and_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o moses_n demand_v straw_n of_o pharaoh_n for_o the_o israelite_n to_o go_v and_o sacrifice_n in_o answer_n to_o which_o demand_n 5._o exod._n v._n 5._o pharaoh_n express_v himself_o in_o term_n which_o show_v that_o former_o they_o have_v observe_v a_o rest_n on_o that_o day_n however_o it_o be_v yet_o thus_o much_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n command_v they_o to_o make_v their_o bond_n servant_n to_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n because_o the_o egyptian_n by_o their_o example_n incline_v they_o not_o to_o be_v very_o careful_a in_o exempt_n they_o from_o all_o labour_n on_o that_o day_n moreover_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n god_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o of_o a_o thing_n former_o appoint_v and_o determine_v by_o he_o say_v for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o which_o word_n have_v a_o manifest_a and_o undeniable_a reference_n to_o that_o which_o happen_v the_o seven_o day_n after_o the_o creation_n and_o to_o the_o law_n then_o give_v to_o man_n concern_v it_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n that_o the_o sense_n which_o we_o have_v put_v upon_o the_o three_o verse_n of_o the_o second_o of_o genesis_n be_v the_o same_o which_o the_o jew_n have_v always_o have_v of_o it_o the_o apostle_n discourse_v from_o those_o word_n of_o david_n psal_n xcv_o to_o who_o i_o swear_v in_o my_o wrath_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o my_o rest_n do_v suppose_v a_o threefold_a rest_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n of_o which_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o second_o of_o genesis_n where_o we_o have_v the_o first_o institution_n of_o it_o the_o second_o be_v the_o rest_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n promise_v to_o the_o jew_n upon_o their_o endure_v all_o those_o trial_n in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o three_o the_o rest_n in_o heaven_n of_o which_o the_o two_o forego_v be_v but_o the_o figure_n he_o argue_v therefore_o that_o these_o word_n of_o david_n can_v not_o be_v understand_v concern_v the_o sabbath_n day_n forasmuch_o as_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n man_n enter_v into_o that_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o he_o prove_v this_o by_o that_o passage_n in_o genesis_n of_o which_o he_o only_o cite_v the_o first_o word_n viz._n that_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n as_o suppose_v that_o the_o jew_n
