show_v that_o now_o he_o have_v give_v the_o sabbath_n a_o perfect_a rest_n for_o ever_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o ceremonial_a work_n he_o have_v then_o fulfil_v all_o the_o ceremony_n

in_o the_o gospel_n that_o day_n that_o he_o rise_v still_o he_o glorify_v it_o with_o his_o presence_n eight_o day_n after_o he_o rise_v he_o come_v and_o show_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o

many_o mundaye_n of_o the_o jew_n there_o be_v which_o be_v our_o lord_n day_n so_o many_o apparition_n he_o make_v upon_o that_o day_n whereby_o they_o gather_v that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o make_v that_o day_n glorious_a by_o his_o comfortable_a apparition_n for_o still_o as_o i_o say_v his_o apparition_n be_v upon_o that_o day_n he_o be_v absent_a all_o the_o week_n before_o he_o appear_v to_o none_o except_o it_o be_v to_o some_o few_o person_n as_o peter_n and_o john_n but_o he_o make_v no_o public_a apparition_n but_o only_o upon_o

of_o people_n will_v never_o be_v satisfy_v except_o we_o can_v answer_v their_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v hear_v we_o give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o go_v forward_o in_o this_o point_n and_o hear_v what_o they_o can_v object_v for_o this_o sabbath_n argument_n against_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o think_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n still_o to_o remain_v in_o force_n i_o have_v spend_v the_o time_n against_o my_o mind_n and_o purpose_n therefore_o i_o will_v but_o name_v the_o chief_a head_n of_o their_o argument_n and_o refute_v they_o they_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v no_o certain_a warrant_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n to_o we_o it_o 1_o there_o be_v no_o write_a word_n for_o it_o because_o there_o be_v no_o direct_a write_v scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o we_o have_v no_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o work_v it_o into_o we_o but_o for_o that_o we_o be_v to_o answer_v they_o answ_n god_n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o the_o apostle_n do_v be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n their_o practice_n be_v a_o sufficient_a direction_n to_o we_o it_o be_v warrant_n enough_o that_o they_o have_v do_v it_o before_o we_o for_o so_o we_o have_v in_o many_o other_o thing_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n christ_n not_o determine_v many_o particular_a thing_n in_o the_o church_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o wise_a those_o that_o shall_v be_v well_o furnish_v with_o knowledge_n for_o the_o direct_n of_o thing_n in_o their_o place_n where_o they_o be_v therefore_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o christ_n for_o they_o do_v it_o not_o of_o themselves_o but_o from_o a_o high_a person_n from_o he_o that_o send_v they_o another_o reason_n they_o have_v and_o that_o be_v this_o decalogue_n 2_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o decalogue_n the_o decalogue_n or_o ten_o commandment_n be_v a_o perpetual_a law_n but_o this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o decalogue_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o perpetual_a law_n and_o the_o precept_n that_o be_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v all_o moral_a they_o be_v precept_n that_o belong_v to_o all_o man_n to_o all_o time_n and_o place_n in_o the_o world_n three_o god_n be_v please_v to_o call_v the_o sabbath_n a_o everlasting_a covenant_n 12.16_o god_n call_v the_o sabbath_n a_o everlasting_a covenant_n deut._n 12.16_o i_o have_v make_v a_o everlasting_a counant_n say_v the_o lord_n deuter._n 12.16_o and_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n he_o call_v it_o a_o perpetual_a covenant_n between_o i_o and_o my_o people_n israel_n therefore_o it_o follow_v it_o must_v last_v as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n last_v and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v change_v for_o than_o we_o alter_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n moses_n 4_o it_o be_v aucient_a than_o moses_n a_o four_o objection_n be_v this_o all_o the_o law_n that_o be_v ancient_a than_o moses_n be_v immutable_a but_o this_o be_v more_o ancient_a than_o moses_n law_n for_o it_o be_v give_v to_o man_n in_o paradise_n the_o lord_n there_o by_o rest_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n do_v consecrate_v the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v keep_v although_o some_o of_o the_o father_n say_v as_o justin_n martyr_n martyr_n justin_n martyr_n that_o they_o do_v not_o keep_v it_o before_o the_o flood_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o it_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v a_o law_n give_v before_o moses_n and_o before_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n it_o follow_v it_o be_v immutable_a and_o unchangeable_a because_o if_o there_o be_v any_o change_n it_o must_v be_v for_o imperfection_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o imperfection_n it_o must_v be_v for_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n before_o the_o fall_n therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v command_v before_o the_o fall_n be_v so_o perfect_a that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v alter_v it_o have_v no_o respect_n of_o imperfection_n in_o it_o perpetual_a 5_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v perpetual_a and_o last_o the_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o law_n make_v the_o law_n continue_v if_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o remain_v the_o law_n must_v also_o continue_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v many_o law_n that_o be_v make_v and_o abrogate_v again_o because_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o they_o be_v make_v in_o such_o a_o time_n for_o such_o thing_n and_o the_o cause_n fail_v the_o law_n cease_v but_o where_o the_o law_n have_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n there_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n to_o continue_v always_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n continue_v the_o meditation_n and_o contemplation_n upon_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a operation_n of_o his_o hand_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o this_o always_o continue_v therefore_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n must_v continue_v these_o be_v the_o prime_n and_o chief_a ground_n of_o their_o argument_n i_o will_v answer_v a_o word_n to_o these_o and_o so_o conclude_v first_o in_o that_o they_o say_v the_o decalogue_n or_o ten_o commandment_n be_v a_o law_n perpetual_a ceremonial_a ans_fw-fr to_o ob._n 2._o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n partly_o ceremonial_a and_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n it_o be_v true_a as_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v

that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o upon_o such_o a_o day_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n rather_o then_o any_o other_o that_o do_v not_o bind_v there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o morality_n in_o that_o that_o

gentile_n scorn_v they_o and_o say_v they_o spend_v the_o seven_o part_n of_o their_o time_n in_o idleness_n mean_v their_o sabbath_n day_n now_o by_o this_o separation_n there_o grow_v enmity_n and_o

the_o seven_o day_n be_v which_o separate_v they_o and_o make_v they_o stranger_n from_o all_o other_o man_n but_o to_o unite_v they_o so_o that_o now_o there_o be_v none_o strange_a in_o christ_n

for_o all_o those_o infinite_a treasure_n we_o have_v receive_v for_o this_o be_v all_o that_o god_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v give_v but_o something_o of_o his_o own_o of_o some_o but_o the_o

the_o apostle_n will_v have_v this_o collection_n be_v upon_o the_o sunday_n wherein_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v the_o goodly_a in_o every_o

day_n the_o exercise_n of_o the_o day_n because_o upon_o that_o day_n the_o public_a meeting_n be_v make_v where_o there_o be_v prophesy_v and_o preach_v and_o pray_v and_o sing_v of_o psalm_n and_o holy_a revelation_n and_o instruction_n from_o heaven_n all_o which_o be_v as_o fire_v to_o kindle_v the_o zeal_n of_o a_o man_n to_o be_v for_o god_n and_o for_o his_o brethren_n and_o to_o join_v together_o the_o member_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o a_o firm_a conjunction_n than_o any_o other_o society_n in_o the_o world_n if_o a_o man_n love_v a_o man_n abroad_o in_o the_o market_n he_o will_v love_v he_o ten_o time_n better_o in_o the_o church_n if_o there_o be_v any_o piety_n or_o any_o coal_n of_o love_n to_o kindle_v his_o affection_n elsewhere_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o in_o the_o church_n where_o every_o word_n of_o god_n every_o sermon_n every_o prayer_n every_o thanksgiving_n every_o psalm_n that_o be_v sing_v bring_v some_o fuel_n to_o that_o heavenly_a flame_n therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n choose_v that_o time_n as_o be_v the_o most_o select_a and_o choice_n opportunity_n for_o the_o confer_v of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v bless_v they_o withal_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n receive_v 4_o reason_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o n_z receive_v and_o last_o because_o that_o upon_o that_o day_n the_o church_n be_v always_o wont_a to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v not_o with_o they_o then_o as_o it_o be_v with_o we_o now_o man_n will_v receive_v it_o when_o they_o listen_v but_o every_o sunday_n be_v with_o they_o a_o sacrament_n day_n and_o oft_o time_n every_o day_n in_o the_o week_n but_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o never_o fail_v therefore_o as_o a_o testimony_n of_o their_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v offer_v on_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o ransom_n and_o propitiation_n for_o all_o their_o sin_n they_o think_v they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o they_o be_v easy_o induce_v and_o persuade_v upon_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o give_v something_o to_o the_o sacred_a and_o holy_a saint_n that_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o indeed_o after_o our_o sacrament_n we_o have_v still_o a_o collection_n in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o there_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o spirit_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o mean_n which_o be_v supereminent_a we_o be_v accord_a to_o our_o poor_a mean_n and_o measure_n and_o according_a to_o the_o scantinesse_n of_o our_o affection_n which_o be_v every_o day_n cold_a than_o other_o for_o these_o reason_n the_o apostle_n require_v that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v and_o lay_v up_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o than_o man_n be_v best_a affect_v of_o all_o time_n if_o ever_o a_o man_n will_v give_v any_o thing_n he_o will_v give_v it_o then_o when_o he_o be_v at_o rest_n for_o god_n and_o when_o he_o be_v express_v his_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o the_o great_a mercy_n that_o he_o have_v pour_v upon_o he_o in_o all_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n then_o he_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o good_a action_n then_o he_o join_v in_o prayer_n with_o the_o church_n of_o god_n then_o he_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v not_o spare_v the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n much_o less_o therefore_o shall_v he_o spare_v a_o penny_n a_o small_a thing_n to_o give_v for_o his_o sake_n that_o have_v give_v his_o blood_n for_o his_o redemption_n thus_o we_o see_v great_a reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n appoint_v the_o collection_n to_o be_v make_v at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v true_a the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v due_a and_o seasonable_a at_o all_o time_n but_o especial_o when_o there_o be_v the_o fair_a and_o goodly_a opportunity_n and_o than_o it_o be_v likely_a to_o prove_v best_a when_o there_o be_v the_o strong_a motive_n to_o work_v man_n unto_o it_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n but_o now_o we_o must_v launch_v into_o a_o great_a sea_n to_o

especial_o be_v plague_v with_o those_o jewish_a sabbatarian_n that_o will_v still_o retain_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o can_v very_o hardly_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o but_o in_o their_o

that_o the_o church_n have_v change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n from_o the_o seven_o day_n unto_o the_o eight_o and_o so_o we_o be_v to_o resolve_v ourselves_o against_o these_o innovator_n how_o this_o

in_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v of_o weak_a authority_n than_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o if_o these_o new_a heretic_n can_v

to_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n our_o sunday_n and_o this_o be_v not_o the_o devise_n of_o pius_n pius_fw-la pius_fw-la the_o first_o pope_n or_o dicta_fw-la the_o first_o pope_n as_o some_o have_v imagine_v which_o be_v many_o year_n after_o our_o lord_n ascension_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a it_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o two_o famous_a place_n for_o we_o have_v but_o two_o as_o beza_n beza_n beza_n say_v well_o in_o act_n 20.10_o 10._o act._n 20_o 10._o and_o in_o this_o place_n in_o these_o two_o place_n we_o observe_v that_o liberty_n that_o the_o lord_n give_v to_o his_o church_n 16.2_o 1_o cor._n 16.2_o to_o change_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o eight_o and_o whereupon_o upon_o what_o ground_n do_v they_o take_v this_o liberty_n for_o we_o have_v no_o direct_a word_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o it_o but_o they_o do_v it_o only_o upon_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o they_o have_v such_o firm_a argument_n and_o reason_n as_o may_v sway_v they_o against_o the_o common_a tenant_n of_o the_o jewish_a slavery_n and_o bondage_n whereby_o they_o be_v tie_v and_o bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o their_o sabbath_n the_o first_o main_a reason_n that_o the_o church_n have_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n christ_n 1_o to_o show_v the_o prerogative_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v to_o show_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o say_v of_o himself_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n also_o he_o be_v lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n mark_n 3._o 3._o mark_n 3._o now_o therefore_o if_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n than_o it_o lay_v in_o his_o power_n to_o change_v the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o moral_a action_n he_o change_v not_o that_o always_o continue_v we_o must_v have_v a_o day_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o we_o shall_v worship_v god_n always_o but_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v the_o proper_a end_n and_o office_n of_o the_o sabbath_n i_o but_o for_o the_o time_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n this_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o lordship_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o therefore_o can_v tell_v what_o he_o do_v when_o he_o will_v rejourne_v the_o sabbath_n to_o some_o other_o time_n where_o it_o may_v be_v a_o figure_n of_o some_o better_a signification_n therefore_o to_o show_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o church_n think_v good_a to_o change_v the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o another_o time_n redemption_n 2_o in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n second_o there_o be_v another_o reason_n as_o athanasius_n athanasius_n athanasius_n observe_v upon_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n all_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o i_o of_o my_o father_n he_o extend_v it_o thus_o far_o even_o to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n law_n now_o say_v he_o there_o be_v two_o great_a work_n of_o god_n which_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o their_o substance_n and_o in_o their_o ceremony_n the_o first_o be_v the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n wherein_o the_o world_n be_v recreated_a and_o make_v anew_o for_o the_o first_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v institute_v and_o ordain_v of_o god_n in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o work_n for_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v and_o create_v in_o the_o six_o day_n before_o he_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o bless_v it_o and_o hallow_v it_o for_o man_n to_o remember_v the_o work_n he_o have_v create_v in_o the_o six_o work_a day_n and_o that_o man_n shall_v also_o work_v in_o six_o day_n as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o rest_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v six_o day_n so_o he_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v for_o all_o the_o life_n of_o man_n must_v be_v conform_v to_o the_o example_n of_o almighty_a god_n so_o now_o there_o be_v these_o two_o great_a work_n the_o one_o of_o creation_n the_o other_o of_o redemption_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o of_o these_o two_o be_v the_o great_a and_o sure_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o great_a matter_n than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n when_o the_o lord_n create_v the_o world_n by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n he_o do_v but_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o it_o be_v do_v the_o lord_n do_v but_o say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a let_v there_o be_v a_o firmament_n and_o there_o be_v a_o firmament_n let_v there_o be_v sea_n and_o land_n and_o there_o be_v present_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o every_o thing_n else_o necessary_a but_o when_o he_o wrought_v redemption_n it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o a_o word_n but_o it_o cost_v the_o blood_n it_o draw_v the_o blood_n from_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o way_n of_o omnipotency_n because_o it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o way_n of_o justice_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v be_v satisfy_v which_o can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v but_o the_o sinner_n must_v loose_v his_o life_n which_o he_o have_v forfeit_v to_o god_n and_o god_n himself_o must_v do_v it_o the_o person_n of_o god_n must_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o suffer_v death_n for_o sinful_a man_n that_o have_v deserve_v death_n everlasting_a this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o recreation_n and_o redemption_n now_o say_v athanasius_n these_o work_n have_v their_o several_a age_n the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v to_o be_v remember_v until_o christ_n come_v to_o work_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n and_o when_o he_o be_v come_v than_o the_o age_n of_o that_o be_v to_o pass_v away_o it_o be_v determine_v and_o terminate_v in_o christ_n and_o now_o
