day_n than_o god_n do_v not_o yet_o daily_o create_v in_o this_o world_n because_o there_o will_v then_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n under_o which_o be_v include_v the_o follow_a day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o rest_v from_o create_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o if_o god_n shall_v still_o create_v after_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o what_o purpose_n then_o shall_v this_o blessing_n and_o sanctification_n be_v or_o if_o they_o say_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v holy_a than_o the_o rest_n because_o god_n do_v then_o rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o create_v i_o then_o ask_v these_o man_n whether_o it_o be_v their_o opinion_n that_o god_n never_o create_v in_o this_o world_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o also_o whether_o god_n do_v not_o as_o well_o rest_n upon_o the_o other_o day_n when_o he_o have_v create_v a_o new_a be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o all_o man_n be_v not_o bear_v upon_o one_o and_o the_o same_o day_n but_o that_o upon_o all_o the_o seven_o day_n man_n be_v bear_v in_o this_o world_n and_o consequent_o according_a to_o the_o modern_a common_a opinion_n that_o god_n create_v spirit_n upon_o all_o day_n without_o distinction_n what_o reason_n can_v there_o then_o be_v if_o god_n create_v upon_o the_o four_o and_o five_o day_n a_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o cease_v why_o shall_v he_o not_o bless_v the_o four_o or_o five_o day_n as_o well_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n see_v that_o he_o rest_v on_o it_o as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o to_o pass_v by_o all_o further_a dispute_n the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n can_v without_o contradiction_n signify_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o god_n cease_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n or_o rest_v from_o it_o bless_v that_o day_n to_o wit_n appoint_v the_o creature_n from_o that_o time_n forward_o to_o multiply_v and_o so_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v set_v it_o apart_o from_o the_o time_n of_o creation_n as_o not_o appertain_v thereunto_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n i_o pray_v do_v god_n bless_v and_o sanctify_v that_o day_n as_o the_o dutch_a bible_n have_v it_o it_o be_v to_o perfect_v or_o thorough_o to_o finish_v all_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o creature_n may_v now_o begin_v to_o work_n but_o that_o which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o in_o the_o creation_n to_o work_v forth_o viz._n that_o they_o shall_v be_v fruitful_a and_o multiply_v etc._n etc._n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v sanctify_v or_o set_v

that_o will_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n shall_v have_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n more_o than_o any_o other_o day_n furthermore_o the_o work_n create_v be_v not_o any_o where_n in_o the_o

the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o be_v appertain_v to_o this_o world_n in_o answer_n that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o do_v only_o look_v at_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n may_v have_v be_v make_v visible_a at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n at_o once_o but_o see_v we_o can_v consider_v the_o almightiness_n of_o

see_v we_o find_v every_o day_n by_o all_o creature_n how_o wise_o exact_o and_o orderly_o all_o thing_n do_v proceed_v the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o other_o in_o their_o season_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v bring_v forth_o at_o once_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n but_o in_o process_n of_o time_n and_o consequent_o the_o answer_n to_o that_o question_n why_o do_v not_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n visible_a in_o the_o creation_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o wisdom_n and_o the_o order_n which_o he_o keep_v in_o all_o thing_n have_v so_o create_v all_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n that_o the_o one_o creature_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o other_o each_o be_v in_o its_o appoint_a season_n to_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o other_o and_o not_o altogether_o at_o once_o but_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v yet_o further_o say_v in_o opposition_n to_o this_o doctrine_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v indeed_o create_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o that_o now_o there_o be_v no_o more_o new_a being_n create_v in_o this_o world_n that_o the_o body_n be_v indeed_o generate_v by_o the_o parent_n but_o that_o god_n create_v the_o

which_o the_o creator_n have_v appoint_v it_o to_o work_v out_o for_o if_o the_o creature_n have_v no_o own_o work_n that_o be_v if_o god_n have_v not_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n a_o

of_o talk_n always_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o upon_o my_o enquiry_n into_o the_o original_a both_o of_o theology_n and_o philosophy_n i_o find_v they_o both_o to_o flow_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spring_n to_o wit_n from_o the_o divine_a be_v whence_o i_o learn_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n both_o of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o of_o reason_n and_o all_o natural_a thing_n these_o two_o god_n word_n and_o reason_n can_v neither_o contradict_v each_o other_o nor_o be_v separate_v from_o one_o another_o and_o consequent_o that_o either_o the_o modern_a theology_n or_o philosophy_n be_v false_a or_o both_o of_o they_o be_v wrong_n and_o when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o common_a theology_n i_o find_v it_o divide_v into_o very_o
