this_o commandment_n alone_o have_v a_o preface_n in_o the_o word_n remember_v where_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o first_o reason_n that_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v and_o to_o obey_v god_n

this_o special_a argument_n be_v one_o the_o first_o end_n be_v the_o principal_a sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o first_o end_n and_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a 5._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o lord_n grant_v we_o free_o six_o day_n to_o travel_n &_o to_o merchandise_n for_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o intermeddle_v

god_n make_v etc._n etc._n where_o he_o show_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v a_o special_a blessing_n to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o true_a sanctification_n of_o it_o 8._o after_o all_o this_o he_o meet_v with_o very_o special_a objection_n which_o be_v bring_v by_o adversary_n to_o prejudice_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sabbath_n against_o the_o moral_a obseruâ—ion_n of_o it_o and_o here_o to_o know_v what_o be_v moral_o and_o ceremonial_o command_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o give_v we_o this_o special_a rule_n when_o a_o law_n thing_n be_v urge_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o have_v a_o peculiar_a reason_n make_v proper_o to_o the_o jow_z then_o as_o it_o begin_v with_o the_o jew_n it_o cease_v with_o the_o jew_n but_o when_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n uâ—ged_v be_v not_o peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o belong_v to_o the_o christian_n than_o the_o thing_n commandeâ—_n be_v common_a to_o jew_n and_o gentile_n 9_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v no_o more_o see_v the_o true_a sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o the_o pure_a mean_n and_o manner_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v for_o
all_o sound_a learned_a whereof_o i_o have_v read_v some_o there_o be_v no_o figure_n until_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n from_o which_o our_o parent_n be_v yet_o free_a but_o a_o mean_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o innocence_n in_o that_o notwithstanding_o their_o excellent_a creation_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o fall_v therefore_o this_o end_n must_v be_v the_o chief_a this_o be_v not_o only_o give_v to_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n but_o to_o the_o whole_a posterity_n of_o adam_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o the_o jew_n be_v first_o begin_v in_o paradise_n and_o then_o afterward_o renew_v in_o mount_n sinai_n so_o that_o this_o moral_a end_n be_v the_o first_o end_n and_o common_a end_n and_o although_o as_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o more_o special_a

lord_n command_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o rest_n add_v as_o a_o reason_n not_o as_o a_o end_n that_o thy_o ox_n and_o thy_o ass_n may_v rest_v &_o the_o son_n of_o thy_o maid_n and_o the_o stranger_n may_v be_v refresh_v where_o this_o spare_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v add_v as_o a_o reason_n draw_v from_o that_o humanity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n not_o as_o a_o thing_n for_o this_o special_a

can_v take_v away_o the_o principal_a and_o be_v the_o latter_a it_o can_v take_v away_o the_o former_a it_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o accessary_a be_v take_v away_o the_o principal_n shall_v also_o be_v abrogate_a but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o accessary_a remove_v the_o principal_a may_v remain_v the_o appertinance_n be_v past_a the_o more_o general_a substance_n

law_n moral_a which_o be_v free_a from_o all_o ceremony_n and_o through_o christ_n require_v nothing_o but_o a_o sincere_a though_o imperfect_a obedience_n as_o be_v void_a of_o all_o rigour_n and_o exempt_v from_o the_o curse_n do_v not_o sever_v god_n from_o man_n nor_o man_n from_o man_n therefore_o the_o law_n moral_a be_v not_o abrogate_a for_o nothing_o be_v disannul_v but_o the_o rigour_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o divorcement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n which_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o be_v between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a as_o we_o may_v gather_v coloss_n 2._o and_o galat._n 4._o wherefore_o we_o affirm_v that_o as_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n as_o concern_v their_o deliverance_n that_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v cease_v but_o as_o it_o be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o they_o and_o all_o other_o to_o be_v preserve_v in_o the_o mean_n of_o true_a

of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v abrogate_a when_o one_o thing_n have_v diverse_a end_n if_o one_o end_n be_v remove_v the_o other_o may_v remain_v for_o as_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

they_o do_v foreshow_v christ_n to_o come_v they_o be_v go_v as_o they_o assure_v we_o what_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n they_o remain_v still_o with_o us._n and_o as_o for_o one_o example_n we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n two_o end_n the_o one_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v now_o cease_v the_o other_o a_o seal_n of_o repentance_n

because_o god_n be_v present_a with_o we_o in_o all_o place_n yet_o as_o they_o have_v it_o to_o establish_v they_o in_o their_o worship_n and_o we_o it_o need_v as_o necessary_a help_n for_o religion_n as_o ever_o they_o need_v the_o same_o remain_v with_o us._n now_o if_o the_o sabbath_n be_v but_o a_o sign_n of_o spiritual_a rest_n as_o some_o have_v phantasticallie_o think_v and_o not_o rather_o a_o holy_a school_n to_o teach_v we_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o will_v grant_v it_o ceremonial_a but_o sce_v this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n and_o that_o

this_o first_o reason_n that_o as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v moral_a we_o must_v keep_v it_o in_o truth_n though_o in_o weakness_n know_v that_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n be_v go_v with_o the_o

to_o the_o second_o reason_n draw_v as_o we_o have_v show_v from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o contain_v in_o these_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n

this_o kind_n of_o argument_n be_v usual_a in_o the_o seven_o book_n of_o god_n as_o genes_n 3_o 2._o 3._o where_o our_o mother_n euah_n frame_v this_o reason_n to_o the_o serpent_n very_o well_o
