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

now_o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o christ_n jesus_n institute_v it_o as_o a_o special_a memorial_n of_o his_o resurrection_n &_o perfect_v of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n 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
great_a part_n too_o for_o our_o own_o lust_n therefore_o though_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a occupation_n to_o rob_v man_n and_o he_o that_o do_v it_o long_o be_v like_a to_o come_v to_o the_o gallows_n yer_z it_o be_v a_o worse_a thing_n to_o rob_v god_n and_o he_o continue_v in_o do_v that_o shall_v find_v a_o worse_a punishment_n at_o length_n then_o hang_v in_o it_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n he_o mean_v work_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o one_o worldly_a calling_n for_o for_o work_n of_o religion_n those_o be_v command_v else_o god_n shall_v command_v idleness_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v any_o day_n therefore_o it_o forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o worldly_a business_n command_v the_o work_n of_o religion_n and_o mercy_n hence_o than_o we_o learn_v that_o no_o worldly_a business_n great_a or_o small_a must_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n all_o worldly_a care_n and_o question_n and_o work_n must_v be_v cut_v off_o for_o small_a work_n exod._n 16._o we_o have_v a_o plain_a proof_n where_o god_n condemn_v they_o for_o gather_v yea_o for_o purpose_v to_o gather_v manna_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o what_o work_n more_o easy_a than_o this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v between_o five_o and_o six_o in_o the_o morning_n or_o not_o long_o after_o so_o that_o all_o the_o day_n after_o they_o may_v serve_v god_n and_o they_o need_v not_o take_v any_o great_a journey_n for_o it_o go_v but_o out_o of_o their_o door_n a_o little_a it_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v there_o nor_o the_o pain_n be_v not_o very_o great_a but_o to_o stoop_v and_o take_v it_o up_o and_o there_o a_o end_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o they_o go_v out_o &_o find_v nothing_o and_o so_o this_o be_v perpetual_a that_o whosoever_o go_v out_o to_o get_v any_o outward_a gain_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n gain_v nothing_o what_o ever_o he_o think_v certain_a he_o find_v just_o nothing_o god_n curse_n eat_v up_o more_o than_o his_o gain_n now_o when_o they_o go_v but_o a_o little_a way_n have_v but_o little_a time_n to_o spend_v and_o it_o be_v no_o great_a pain_n to_o gather_v manna_n yet_o god_n say_v for_o this_o how_o long_o will_v this_o people_n break_v all_o my_o commandment_n it_o be_v but_o the_o breach_n of_o this_o one_o and_o yet_o god_n charge_v they_o with_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o because_o in_o

and_o refresh_n and_o so_o be_v no_o work_n of_o mercy_n nor_o be_v not_o a_o worship_n of_o god_n they_o dare_v not_o do_v it_o ay_o but_o might_n one_o say_v sure_o they_o be_v more_o precise_a than_o wise_a they_o make_v a_o scruple_n where_o none_o be_v nay_o the_o holy_a ghost_n free_v thou_o from_o that_o charge_n and_o show_v that_o they_o rest_v according_a to_o the_o commandment_n it_o be_v well_o do_v of_o they_o for_o in_o do_v it_o they_o obey_v god_n commandment_n and_o it_o have_v be_v amiss_o if_o they_o have_v not_o rest_v for_o than_o they_o have_v break_v god_n
