but_o think_v it_o will_v have_v be_v much_o insist_v upon_o have_v now_o do_v with_o this_o i_o proceed_v from_o the_o apostle_n practice_n to_o consider_v 2._o second_o their_o expression_n and_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v here_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o be_v that_o in_o apoc._n 1.10_o where_o john_n give_v this_o account_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n this_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o point_v at_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v by_o scripture_n even_o about_o the_o nature_n and_o meaning_n of_o a_o phrase_n unless_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o text_n where_o it_o be_v use_v why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v take_v in_o that_o text_n as_o in_o other_o this_o be_v general_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o good_a and_o safe_a rule_n for_o interpretation_n of_o difficult_a place_n why_o then_o may_v not_o this_o phrase_n prove_v it_o be_v the_o day_n institute_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v parallel_n with_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n himself_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n direct_v both_o paul_n and_o john_n in_o their_o expression_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v use_v but_o once_o a_o piece_n and_o never_o apply_v to_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o to_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n why_o shall_v these_o ordinance_n be_v hold_v forth_o under_o the_o same_o expression_n if_o these_o have_v not_o the_o same_o institution_n it_o will_v seem_v strange_a to_o i_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n passover_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n though_o a_o supper_n ordinance_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o it_o seem_v somewhat_o strange_a if_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n shall_v be_v assert_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n without_o some_o further_a proof_n than_o to_o say_v it_o be_v so_o i_o can_v produce_v testimony_n from_o antiquity_n of_o some_o that_o live_v near_o and_o of_o one_o that_o live_v some_o considerable_a time_n with_o john_n himself_o who_o have_v interpret_v the_o lord_n day_n mention_v in_o the_o revelation_n to_o be_v the_o first_o day_n but_o because_o you_o quote_v no_o such_o testimony_n neither_o will_v i._o i_o have_v be_v careful_a to_o observe_v your_o order_n and_o to_o proceed_v in_o this_o order_n only_o in_o a_o scriptural_a way_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o apostle_n expression_n from_o their_o practice_n and_o expression_n i_o come_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o they_o be_v record_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 16.1_o 2._o and_o that_o of_o galatia_n and_o of_o troas_n former_o mention_v who_o have_v their_o weekly_a solemn_a assembly_n on_o the_o first_o day_n i_o forbear_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o justification_n of_o our_o translation_n because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o you_o touch_v upon_o no_o such_o thing_n in_o your_o paper_n desire_v to_o be_v deal_v withal_o in_o a_o scriptural_a not_o in_o a_o grammatical_a way_n only_o i_o can_v but_o add_v this_o because_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v according_a to_o scripture_n that_o it_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n be_v imagine_v that_o these_o church_n will_v have_v make_v such_o a_o important_a change_n of_o the_o day_n for_o their_o solemn_a assembly_n from_o what_o be_v former_o use_v by_o god_n appointment_n among_o the_o jew_n without_o consult_v with_o some_o at_o least_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o most_o likely_a with_o paul_n as_o be_v best_o acquaint_v with_o he_o hardly_o i_o think_v can_v there_o be_v produce_v any_o instance_n that_o particular_a church_n ever_o do_v determine_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n by_o their_o own_o authority_n without_o consult_v i_o say_v with_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n consider_v how_o in_o other_o matter_n not_o altogether_o of_o so_o great_a a_o concernment_n they_o consult_v with_o paul_n 2_o cor._n 7._o and_o as_o hardly_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o apostle_n will_v ever_o give_v they_o any_o such_o direction_n unless_o they_o have_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v give_v you_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o the_o matter_n will_v permit_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o dissent_n from_o you_o in_o the_o sense_n that_o you_o give_v of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o of_o what_o former_o have_v and_o still_o do_v

that_o which_o i_o have_v yet_o to_o do_v be_v to_o give_v you_o my_o thought_n concern_v your_o reason_n produce_v for_o the_o confirm_v your_o proposition_n which_o may_v be_v do_v with_o a_o

rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o last_o day_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o rather_o as_o a_o reason_n of_o that_o limitation_n six_o day_n of_o seven_o

to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o reason_n that_o prevail_v with_o i_o so_o to_o judge_v i_o have_v give_v before_o 2_o dly_z second_o your_o second_o and_o three_o reason_n i_o join_v they_o

be_v a_o day_n of_o blessing_n to_o the_o right_a observer_n of_o it_o in_o what_o sense_n i_o understand_v this_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o account_n before_o it_o be_v true_a when_o this_o law_n

i_o desire_v you_o to_o look_v back_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v there_o make_v evident_a that_o the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n be_v on_o the_o first_o day_n and_o

weekly_a sabbath_n be_v put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n i_o foresee_v two_o thing_n may_v be_v object_v against_o this_o interpretation_n obj._n first_o it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v here_o mention_v for_o then_o paul_n shall_v condemn_v his_o own_o practice_n answ_n but_o this_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o though_o we_o read_v act_v 16.13_o that_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v i_o grant_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o preach_v to_o woman_n that_o resort_v thither_o to_o their_o public_a worship_n and_o act_n 17.2_o that_o he_o preach_v in_o the_o synagogue_n of_o thessalonica_n three_o sabbath_n day_n together_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o as_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o for_o the_o opportunity_n of_o the_o jew_n assemble_v together_o on_o that_o day_n which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n and_o so_o for_o a_o while_n condescend_v to_o their_o weakness_n some_o other_o of_o the_o jewish_a rite_n as_o may_v be_v instance_a in_o circumcision_n be_v bear_v with_o to_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o he_o do_v this_o as_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o they_o do_v it_o may_v be_v well_o conclude_v that_o he_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v observe_v the_o feast_n penticost_n because_o he_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n at_o that_o feast_n as_o we_o read_v act_v 18.21_o which_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o do_v not_o for_o the_o feast_n sake_n but_o for_o the_o assembly_n sake_n that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o great_a opportunity_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o they_o but_o now_o if_o we_o will_v know_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v which_o he_o observe_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o four_o commandment_n look_v into_o his_o practice_n among_o the_o convert_v jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o there_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o observe_v the_o first_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o will_v be_v see_v by_o and_o by_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n 2._o object_n it_o be_v object_v by_o some_o and_o those_o great_a and_o learned_a person_n that_o this_o interpretation_n overthrow_v the_o morality_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o well_o as_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o for_o that_o end_n they_o thus_o interpret_v this_o place_n and_o frequent_o urge_v it_o but_o nothing_o they_o allege_v from_o hence_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v can_v ever_o make_v any_o impression_n upon_o i_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o answ_n look_v what_o those_o and_o the_o circumcision_n that_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o law_n seek_v to_o impose_v upon_o the_o christian_a church_n that_o and_o that_o only_o the_o apostle_n oppose_v now_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o beyond_o all_o question_n that_o they_o never_o seek_v to_o impose_v the_o first_o day_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o that_o stand_v and_o will_v stand_v unshaken_a notwithstanding_o this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o interpretation_n stand_v firm_a notwithstanding_o these_o objection_n it_o seem_v yet_o clear_a to_o i_o that_o christian_n be_v under_o no_o obligation_n at_o all_o to_o the_o old_a sabbath_n it_o be_v dead_a have_v serve_v its_o time_n quest_n now_o i_o know_v it_o will_v be_v ask_v if_o this_o be_v so_o where_o have_v we_o any_o express_a institution_n either_o for_o the_o first_o day_n or_o for_o any_o other_o day_n must_v we_o not_o then_o if_o a_o word_n of_o institution_n can_v be_v produce_v observe_v as_o some_o say_v every_o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n or_o take_v that_o day_n those_o in_o authority_n do_v appoint_v be_v it_o one_o of_o 10_o or_o one_o of_o 20_o or_o have_v no_o sabbath_n at_o all_o answ_n i_o answer_v neither_o so_o nor_o so_o every_o day_n be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n any_o more_o than_o every_o supper_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n or_o every_o table_n the_o lord_n table_n neither_o may_v we_o admit_v of_o one_o day_n of_o 10_o or_o 20_o for_o that_o be_v against_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o require_v not_o only_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o sabbath_n but_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o that_o we_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n which_o i_o confess_v can_v be_v no_o less_o than_o divine_a authority_n for_o the_o first_o day_n of_o seven_o i_o now_o come_v to_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o so_o believe_v only_o let_v i_o have_v leave_n first_o to_o ask_v where_o be_v there_o a_o express_a word_n of_o institution_n for_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n there_o be_v none_o that_o only_o require_v the_o observation_n of_o one_o of_o seven_o all_o the_o institution_n there_o be_v for_o it_o be_v in_o gen._n 2.3_o which_o be_v not_o express_v though_o i_o acknowledge_v it_o sufficient_a but_o only_o imply_v in_o those_o word_n god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v as_o clear_v a_o word_n though_o perhaps_o not_o altogether_o find_v in_o one_o place_n which_o imply_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o first_o day_n as_o that_o which_o in_o gen._n 2._o do_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o that_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o that_o there_o be_v for_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o i_o say_v before_o what_o i_o think_v to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o lord_n bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n not_o only_o because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v perfect_v the_o work_n of_o creation_n but_o also_o because_o of_o the_o result_n and_o consequence_n both_o of_o his_o rest_n and_o of_o his_o perfect_v his_o work_n namely_o his_o honour_v and_o exalt_v that_o day_n above_o all_o other_o day_n thereby_o now_o we_o know_v that_o the_o memorial_n of_o those_o signal_n work_v of_o providence_n wrought_v upon_o the_o day_n have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o advance_v that_o day_n above_o other_o so_o the_o jewish_a passover_n leu._n 23._o and_o the_o feast_n of_o purim_n est_fw-la 9.21_o 23_o and_o our_o 5_o of_o november_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o discovery_n of_o that_o treason_n plot_v and_o that_o nothing_o come_v to_o execution_n but_o the_o traitor_n themselves_o now_o this_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v so_o hence_o than_o it_o may_v be_v argue_v that_o what_o day_n soever_o above_o all_o other_o day_n god_n honour_v with_o his_o most_o eminent_a work_n be_v to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n unto_o god_n this_o will_v clear_o carry_v it_o and_o great_o strengthen_v though_o but_o a_o

of_o redemption_n i_o hear_v something_o have_v be_v allege_v against_o this_o that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v not_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o that_o the_o
