be_v only_o positive_a so_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n this_o be_v moral_a natural_a that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n a_o sufficient_a time_n for_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o

according_a to_o that_o joh._n 5.17_o have_v thus_o give_v you_o the_o sense_n now_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o conceive_v that_o this_o example_n of_o god_n rest_v be_v not_o allege_v here_o to_o lay_v a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o conscience_n that_o the_o same_o day_n wherein_o he_o rest_v which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o ever_o 1._o first_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o relate_v to_o what_o god_n himself_o do_v rather_o than_o any_o way_n propound_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o you_o urge_v it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o parallel_n scripture_n wherein_o the_o example_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v 1._o cor._n 11.23_o we_o have_v there_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o and_o how_o it_o be_v institute_v repeat_v out_o of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o christ_n example_n be_v relate_v as_o to_o the_o time_n when_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o

administration_n shall_v not_o only_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n be_v observe_v but_o that_o particular_a night_n in_o which_o he_o be_v betray_v which_o be_v common_o call_v with_o we_o thursday_n night_n which_o be_v more_o than_o ever_o i_o hear_v that_o any_o one_o practise_v as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o act_n 20.7_o this_o example_n of_o christ_n then_o seem_v to_o be_v historical_o relate_v and_o whether_o the_o like_a may_v not_o be_v say_v of_o god_n example_n in_o the_o commandment_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v but_o 2._o second_o though_o god_n exemple_n be_v historical_o relate_v yet_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v relate_v for_o some_o special_a end_n and_o purpose_n as_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o

will_v be_v a_o digression_n from_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o the_o special_a end_n and_o purpose_n why_o god_n example_n be_v here_o relate_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o even_o to_o show_v that_o what_o be_v require_v in_o the_o commandment_n be_v equal_a and_o reasonable_a and_o for_o man_n good_a the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n be_v often_o call_v judgement_n as_o for_o other_o reason_n so_o special_o i_o think_v for_o this_o to_o show_v that_o god_n require_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a thus_o god_n reason_n the_o case_n with_o those_o ezek._n 18_o 25._o hear_v you_o i_o o_o house_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o my_o way_n equal_a and_o therefore_o certain_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o argument_n from_o god_n example_n which_o do_v best_a show_v the_o equity_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o to_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o observe_v it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o true_a sense_n now_o to_o argue_v that_o because_o god_n wrought_v the_o six_o first_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o then_o rest_v the_o last_o of_o seven_o this_o carry_v no_o convince_a reason_n with_o it_o that_o therefore_o we_o ought_v first_o to_o work_n six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o then_o to_o rest_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n reason_n right_a reason_n if_o that_o alone_o be_v to_o judge_v will_v rather_o judge_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v the_o first_o of_o seven_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o see_v by_o divine_a allowance_n we_o have_v six_o for_o one_o take_v the_o six_o last_o to_o ourselves_o in_o reason_n we_o may_v hope_v that_o the_o work_n on_o earth_n will_v speed_v best_a when_o our_o work_n for_o heaven_n be_v do_v first_o but_o now_o to_o argue_v from_o god_n example_n that_o it_o bind_v neither_o to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o nor_o to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o but_o to_o one_o of_o seven_o carry_v very_o great_a reason_n in_o it_o for_o if_o the_o great_a god_n who_o need_v not_o one_o

you_o it_o be_v this_o he_o bless_a and_o sanctify_v it_o but_o not_o as_o it_o be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o rest_n declare_v thereby_o

weekly_a sabbath_n be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o seven_o day_n 2._o that_o no_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o observer_n of_o any_o other_o day_n no_o threaten_v denounce_v against_o any_o that_o shall_v not_o observe_v any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o week_n as_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n but_o only_o the_o seven_o which_o be_v the_o last_o day_n a._n to_o all_o these_o i_o answer_v from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v 1._o first_o as_o for_o the_o name_n and_o thing_n this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o observe_v at_o first_o and_o by_o this_o i_o be_o further_a confirm_v in_o it_o that_o you_o apprehend_v the_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o and_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n i._n e._n the_o day_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n be_v term_n convertible_a which_o to_o i_o be_v not_o yet_o prove_v though_o i_o have_v consider_v your_o paper_n from_o end_n to_o end_n and_o i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o yet_o believe_v and_o must_v needs_o believe_v till_o i_o see_v they_o answer_v that_o another_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o and_o that_o by_o divine_a authority_n so_o that_o though_o once_o they_o be_v yet_o now_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v no_o long_o term_n convertible_a 2_o dly_z second_o as_o to_o that_o which_o you_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n for_o any_o other_o day_n i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o my_o sense_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o no_o day_n be_v institute_v there_o first_o or_o last_o or_o so_o much_o as_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o direct_o enjoin_v there_o but_o only_o by_o consequence_n because_o former_o institute_v so_o that_o both_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o commandment_n reach_v the_o first_o of_o seven_o as_o well_o as_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o see_v before_o 3_o dly_z three_o you_o say_v there_o be_v no_o promise_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o any_o day_n nor_o threaten_v against_o the_o not_o observe_v of_o any_o day_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o only_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o a._n i_o answer_v first_o to_o speak_v proper_o as_o i_o observe_v you_o do_v so_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o day_n but_o to_o the_o right_a observer_n of_o it_o in_o the_o duty_n that_o god_n appoint_v now_o the_o duty_n fall_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o faith_n therein_o already_o the_o blessing_n annex_v to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o fall_v upon_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o and_o have_v be_v give_v forth_o eminent_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o as_o i_o have_v show_v 2_o dly_z second_o i_o answer_v far_o that_o as_o i_o find_v no_o blessing_n promise_v to_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o the_o old_a administration_n but_o what_o be_v then_o apply_v only_o to_o the_o right_a use_n of_o circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n nor_o any_o thing_n against_o any_o profaner_n or_o contemner_n of_o any_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o those_o that_o contemn_a circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o you_o believe_v the_o promise_n i_o mean_v especial_o the_o spiritual_a promise_n annex_v to_o the_o old_a seal_n the_o right_a observer_n of_o the_o new_a seal_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n may_v in_o faith_n apply_v to_o themselves_o and_o the_o threaten_n against_o the_o contemner_n of_o the_o old_a seal_n those_o that_o contemn_v or_o profane_v the_o new_a seal_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_n may_v fall_v upon_o they_o even_o so_o the_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o threaten_n against_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o transgressor_n and_o the_o observer_n of_o the_o new_a sabbath_n the_o first_o of_o seven_o whatever_o be_v write_v be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n 3_o dly_z i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o that_o god_n have_v put_v this_o commandment_n for_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o into_o nature_n which_o if_o you_o have_v explain_v as_o it_o seem_v you_o understand_v it_o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n quote_v have_v clear_o prove_v it_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v have_v be_v silent_a and_o with_o a_o little_a more_o help_n i_o think_v shall_v have_v close_v with_o you_o upon_o the_o whole_a in_o this_o matter_n but_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o to_o i_o your_o expression_n be_v somewhat_o dark_a and_o your_o proof_n exceed_v short_a 1._o first_o that_o your_o way_n of_o express_v yourself_o be_v somewhat_o dark_a for_o you_o say_v god_n have_v put_v this_o into_o nature_n but_o you_o do_v not_o express_v what_o i_o do_v not_o clear_o understand_v whether_o you_o mean_v that_o be_v moral_a natural_a in_o the_o four_o commandment_n or_o which_o be_v moral_a positive_a 2_o dly_z second_o your_o proof_n especial_o from_o rom._n 1.20_o psalm_n 19_o rom._n 10.18_o john_n 1.9_o seem_v to_o be_v intend_v for_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a natural_a and_o there_o be_v some_o other_o scripture_n which_o to_o i_o have_v not_o the_o least_o appearance_n pardon_v i_o if_o i_o say_v so_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o expression_n in_o your_o further_o enlarge_n upon_o this_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v for_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a positive_a for_o thus_o you_o say_v that_o natural_a reason_n will_v tell_v i_o that_o see_v all_o man_n in_o all_o nation_n do_v measure_v their_o time_n by_o week_n and_o their_o week_n by_o seven_o day_n that_o they_o shall_v beside_o what_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n every_o day_n in_o every_o week_n set_v apart_o a_o day_n unto_o their_o maker_n who_o have_v allow_v such_o a_o liberal_a portion_n unto_o they_o for_o themselves_o herein_o you_o will_v find_v that_o i_o do_v both_o assent_n and_o consent_n unto_o you_o when_o i_o have_v a_o little_a explain_v what_o i_o apprehend_v to_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o moral_a natural_a and_o moral_a positive_a law_n 1_o first_o moral_n natural_a law_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v these_o which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n consist_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o principle_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o that_o light_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v just_a and_o good_a though_o they_o have_v never_o be_v write_v in_o the_o word_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o this_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o god_n thus_o much_o your_o proof_n especial_o that_o rom._n 1.20_o clear_o prove_v thus_o far_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v moral_a natural_a the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v man_n that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o god_n a_o time_n of_o rest_n from_o all_o other_o employment_n a_o set_a time_n that_o must_v return_v according_a to_o some_o computation_n of_o time_n either_o week_n or_o month_n or_o year_n let_v it_o be_v grant_v for_o week_n though_o i_o will_v glad_o see_v some_o far_a proof_n for_o that_o than_o yet_o i_o have_v see_v this_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n even_o now_o corrupt_v either_o do_v acknowledge_v or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o by_o argument_n draw_v from_o these_o principle_n which_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n when_o he_o be_v rational_o urge_v with_o such_o principle_n as_o these_o as_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a aught_o to_o be_v follow_v and_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v evil_a aught_o to_o be_v avoid_v i_o mean_v such_o thing_n the_o goodness_n or_o evil_n whereof_o arise_v mere_o from_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v so_o though_o the_o one_o have_v never_o be_v command_v nor_o the_o other_o have_v never_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o word_n this_o be_v clear_a from_o that_o place_n you_o quote_v rom._n 2.14_o 15._o be_v please_v to_o consider_v the_o place_n and_o i_o believe_v herein_o you_o will_v both_o assent_v and_o consent_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o
