some_o passage_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o easter_n do_v require_v a_o little_a animadversion_n as_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o page_n 134._o which_o he_o have_v do_v several_a time_n before_o that_o

christian_n just_a upon_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 2._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v by_o very_o great_a church_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o roman_a faith_n and_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o roman_a ecclesiastical_a government_n when_o either_o the_o roman_a bishop_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o they_o or_o if_o he_o do_v

to_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o passover_n upon_o the_o lordsday_n and_o so_o the_o weekly_a holy_a rest_n upon_o that_o day_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n imply_v that_o rome_n herself_o observe_v the_o passover_n lordsday_n before_o she_o do_v the_o weekly_a whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o rome_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o it_o be_v the_o dominical_a day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n whereas_o the_o proper_a paschal-day_n be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o honour_n to_o that_o day_n do_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n require_v easter_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o not_o ordain_v easter_n firstday_n as_o a_o shooe-horn_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o weekly_a first_o day_n after_o

be_v weekly_o observe_v by_o they_o before_o easter_n be_v keep_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o yearly_a first_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o usherer_n in_o of_o that_o weekday_n which_o be_v before_o it_o sect_n xxi_o as_o the_o conclusion_n and_o result_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n that_o jehovah_n be_v not_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n nor_o rest_v on_o it_o till_o his_o incarnation_n nor_o be_v christ_n real_o till_o then_o

the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o our_o lord_n christ_n indeed_o observe_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o antecedent_n law_n of_o all_o the_o

will_v have_v exact_v none_o of_o it_o in_o innocencency_n and_o yet_o we_o experience_v i_o say_v that_o six_o in_o seven_o allot_v we_o for_o these_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o and_o we_o can_v very_o well_o spare_v a_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o solemn_a service_n of_o god_n without_o any_o detriment_n to_o our_o body_n or_o our_o civil_a concern_v yea_o and_o have_v many_o other_o

so_o also_o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o week_n or_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o be_v not_o primary_o moral_a because_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o

judge_v the_o contrary_a if_o they_o do_v keep_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o moral_a precept_n with_o a_o sound_a faith_n in_o christ_n they_o will_v infallible_o be_v save_v though_o they_o never_o separate_v one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n entire_o to_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n but_o now_o if_o they_o do_v allowed_o live_v in_o any_o breach_n of_o the_o other_o command_v yea_o suppose_v some_o of_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v express_o teach_v they_o by_o their_o converter_n as_o if_o they_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o only_a true_a god_n in_o their_o soul_n if_o they_o do_v worship_n idol_n if_o they_o do_v swear_v false_o or_o vain_o if_o they_o be_v rebellious_a and_o undutiful_a to_o parent_n and_o magistrate_n if_o they_o live_v in_o hatred_n and_o be_v cruel_a

of_o these_o sin_n they_o shall_v certain_o perish_v and_o why_o but_o because_o all_o the_o other_o command_n be_v primary_o moral_a and_o this_o of_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v not_o so_o yea_o in_o keep_v the_o other_o command_v they_o keep_v the_o morality_n of_o this_o also_o command_n they_o must_v separate_v time_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o divine_a service_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a morality_n of_o the_o four_o precept_n thus_o i_o think_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o sanctification_n of_o one_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v not_o absolute_o and_o
