and_o that_o partly_o from_o their_o distinction_n and_o partly_o from_o their_o objection_n first_o for_o their_o distinction_n they_o do_v distinguish_v of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o time_n now_o for_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n these_o be_v jewish_a out_o they_o ceremonial_a and_o

derive_v upon_o this_o distinction_n thus_o i_o argue_v if_o that_o time_n that_o be_v all_o that_o time_n which_o be_v command_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o comprise_v in_o these_o word_n the_o seven_o

that_o be_v all_o that_o time_n once_o command_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o comprise_v in_o these_o word_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v as_o jew_n sh_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o time_n leave_v in_o the_o four_o come_v for_o any_o sabbath_n day_n and_o by_o consequence_n no_o four_o come_v for_o the_o minor_a they_o can_v deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o limb_n of_o their_o own_o distinction_n for_o they_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n that_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n command_v to_o the_o

time_n be_v all_o the_o time_n that_o be_v command_v take_v away_o then_o one_o and_o you_o take_v away_o all_o for_o the_o major_a its_o consequence_n it_o be_v clear_a of_o itself_o that_o if_o all_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o commandment_n be_v abolish_v then_o there_o be_v no_o command_v time_n leave_v in_o the_o commandment_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o example_n suppose_v a_o

be_v no_o time_n leave_v in_o the_o garden_n why_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o case_n take_v away_o that_o time_n that_o be_v command_v and_o there_o be_v no_o time_n that_o be_v no_o command_v time_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o by_o their_o abolish_n of_o that_o very_a day_n and_o time_n which_o the_o jew_n keep_v to_o wit_n that_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v abolish_v

this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o

31.15_o therefore_o we_o may_v think_v that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n of_o both_o 2._o i_o answer_v that_o this_o text_n be_v not_o right_o understod_a &_o apply_v for_o they_o suppose_v that_o moses_n bid_v these_o jew_n bake_v to_o day_n that_o be_v on_o friday_n all_o the_o manna_n which_o they_o have_v gather_v that_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o ij_o omer_n so_o as_o none_o shall_v

to_o leave_v unbaked_a for_o say_v the_o text_n bake_v that_o which_o you_o will_v bake_v and_o see_v that_o which_o you_o will_v seethe_v he_o say_v not_o bake_v all_o &_o see_v all_o but_o bake_v

of_o worm_n by_o reserve_v it_o it_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v lay_v up_o unbaked_a for_o what_o wonder_n have_v it_o be_v that_o it_o stanke_z not_o nor_o have_v worm_n in_o it_o

one_o answer_n i_o here_o give_v unto_o all_o their_o 4._o text_n together_o if_o the_o rest_v command_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o rigorouse_a rest_n &_o so_o ceremonial_a

general_a answer_n that_o i_o may_v defend_v the_o moral_a law_n with_o every_o thing_n therein_o command_v unto_o a_o jot_n and_o title_n and_o shun_v those_o foul_a and_o many_o absurdety_n which_o

for_o as_o the_o rock_n after_o it_o lose_v its_o typicalnesse_n it_o still_o remain_v a_o rock_n so_o may_v the_o sabbath_n after_o christ_n have_v abolish_v its_o typicalnesse_n which_o be_v affix_v to_o it_o it_o may_v still_o remain_v a_o sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v original_o at_o its_o prime_a institution_n it_o may_v remain_v still_o as_o a_o sacred_a time_n for_o god_n worship_n &_o as_o a_o

out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o the_o sabbath_n let_v i_o first_o show_v you_o how_o absurd_o they_o behave_v themselves_o who_o will_v fetch_v argument_n out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o god_n sabbath_n the_o first_o absurdety_n be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v voluntary_o &_o wilful_o without_o any_o constraint_n set_v themselves_o in_o opposition_n to_o a_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o his_o church_n for_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v not_o only_o that_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o in_o high_a honour_n

our_o precedent_n begin_n this_o holy_a sabbath_n in_o his_o own_o person_n now_o for_o any_o man_n to_o oppose_v any_o of_o god_n ordinance_n wilful_o &_o not_o compel_v thereunto_o be_v a_o evil_a

the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o novill_a thing_n they_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v a_o most_o ancient_a thing_n be_v it_o some_o novelty_n or_o new_a

of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o

god_n law_n this_o no_o man_n fear_v god_n shall_v do_v 2._o since_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n they_o that_o defend_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v abolish_v they_o cast_v

of_o god_n rest_n at_o the_o creation_n nor_o can_v be_v for_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o our_o lord_n day_n rest_n be_v on_o the_o 8_o day_n now_o this_o be_v far_o from_o imitate_v of_o god_n when_o he_o rest_v upon_o one_o day_n and_o we_o will_v rest_n upon_o a_o other_o and_o thus_o in_o these_o four_o respect_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o rest_n which_o now_o we_o keep_v it_o be_v none_o of_o god_n rest_n ordain_v in_o his_o four_o comm._n it_o be_v but_o like_o it_o as_o a_o counterfeit_n shilling_n be_v like_o a_o currant_n shilling_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o any_o long_o deceive_v himself_o by_o think_v he_o keep_v god_n rest_n when_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o conclude_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a rest_n we_o now_o keep_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v not_o that_o holy_a rest_n require_v in_o the_o four_o come_v hereby_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o now_o we_o neither_o give_v god_n the_o time_n no_o nor_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o time_n and_o that_o by_o abolish_n of_o the_o sacred_a &_o sanctify_a time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v also_o abolish_v the_o holy_a rest_n require_v of_o god_n in_o

the_o saturday_n sabbath_n be_v that_o it_o must_v be_v moral_a because_o if_o you_o abolish_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o scripture_n you_o must_v also_o by_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n you_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n then_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n must_v you_o also_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v but_o no_o man_n may_v by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n therefore_o no_o man_n may_v by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o minor_a it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n for_o every_o man_n grant_v that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o four_o come_v be_v moral_a and_o that_o it_o be_v horrible_a impiety_n to_o abolish_v it_o any_o more_o than_o to_o abolish_v any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o how_o be_v it_o they_o say_v that_o something_o in_o this_o law_n be_v abolish_v as_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n yet_o as_o for_o the_o law_n it_o retain_v its_o command_a and_o bind_v force_n still_o as_o they_o do_v confess_v i_o come_v therefore_o unto_o the_o major_n to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n thereof_o how_o beit_v the_o point_n be_v clear_a enough_o of_o itself_o yet_o such_o be_v the_o enmity_n of_o man_n to_o god_n sabbath_n as_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v embrace_v they_o they_o will_v question_v any_o clear_a truth_n for_o what_o be_v more_o clear_a than_o this_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n yea_o any_o thing_n command_v in_o a_o law_n and_o take_v away_o the_o law_n thereof_o take_v away_o the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o you_o take_v away_o the_o four_o come_v also_o there_o be_v many_o law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v now_o abolish_v let_v my_o adversary_n show_v i_o any_o one_o of_o they_o wherein_o any_o thing_n once_o command_v be_v abolish_v but_o that_o that_o law_n itself_o also_o be_v abolish_v if_o then_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n to_o judge_v when_o a_o thing_n command_v in_o a_o law_n be_v abolish_v that_o then_o that_o law_n be_v abolish_v then_o so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o this_o case_n also_o take_v away_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o take_v away_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o example_n there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v touch_v the_o difference_n of_o meat_n levit._n 11._o now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o conclude_v that_o not_o only_o that_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o but_o also_o that_o law_n which_o command_v that_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o again_o there_o be_v a_o law_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o new-moone_n numb_a 28.11_o which_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o first_o day_n of_o every_o month_n now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o those_o new-moone_n be_v abolish_v colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o conclude_v that_o that_o law_n of_o the_o new-moone_n be_v abolish_v also_o again_o there_o be_v diverse_a law_n make_v for_o the_o keep_n holy_a of_o diverse_a anniversary_n sabbath_n levit._n 23.7.21.24.32.35.39_o now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o those_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v all_o abolish_v colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o gather_v that_o together_o with_o the_o abolition_n of_o those_o sabbath_n all_o those_o law_n make_v for_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v also_o it_o be_v clear_a therefore_o that_o if_o you_o abolish_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n you_o must_v also_o from_o those_o scripture_n by_o which_o you_o abolish_v it_o abolish_v also_o the_o law_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v a_o second_o reason_n i_o take_v from_o colos_n 2.14.16_o where_o the_o apostle_n abolish_n those_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 16._o do_v also_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o those_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 14._o &_o that_o under_o the_o name_n of_o handwritting_a of_o ordinance_n show_v how_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n do_v put_v out_o and_o abolish_v this_o hand_n write_v of_o ordinance_n that_o be_v those_o law_n &_o ordinance_n of_o those_o many_o yearly_a sabbath_n whence_o i_o thus_o argue_v if_o by_o this_o 16_o verse_n of_o colos_n 2._o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o weekly_a saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n then_o must_v you_o by_o the_o 14_o verse_n of_o colos_n 2._o abolish_v also_o that_o law_n handwriting_n &_o ordinance_n of_o the_o four_o come_v which_o belong_v to_o &_o be_v make_v for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n for_o look_v what_o sabbath_n day_n you_o include_v in_o v._o 16._o the_o law_n of_o those_o sabbath_n day_n you_o must_v include_v in_o v._o 14._o &_o so_o abolish_v they_o for_o it_o be_v plaiâ—e_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v no_o large_a in_o v._n 16._o then_o in_o vers_n 14._o he_o condemn_v no_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 16._o but_o such_o who_o law_n be_v abolish_v in_o v._o 14._o &_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_o prove_v that_o take_v away_o god_n sabbath_n &_o you_o take_v away_o the_o law_n of_o god_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v here_o by_o the_o way_n note_n that_o since_o antisabbatharians_a will_v have_v nothing_o in_o the_o four_o come_v moral_a but_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n therefore_o let_v they_o know_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o law_n for_o these_o duty_n they_o shall_v not_o press_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o duty_n by_o any_o law_n for_o in_o that_o they_o will_v have_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n a_o

lord_n day_n sabbath_n shall_v be_v a_o lawless_a sabbath_n &_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o time_n &_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n shall_v be_v lawless_a duty_n but_o hereto_o it_o will_v be_v answer_v in_o the_o four_o con_v be_v two_o thing_n inyoin_v the_o duâ—â—ies_n of_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n &_o the_o time_n now_o though_o the_o time_n be_v abolish_v as_o a_o ceremony_n yet_o so_o

law_n to_o be_v abolish_v in_o part_n &_o yet_o to_o remain_v in_o part_n 2._o the_o absurdety_n of_o this_o answer_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o by_o the_o same_o answer_n they_o may_v retain_v in_o the_o church_n still_o all_o these_o abolish_v law_n of_o the_o new-moone_n &_o of_o these_o yearly_a sabbath_n before_o speak_v of_o say_v that_o in_o these_o new-moone_n and_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n inyoin_v the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holy_a exercise_n &_o the_o time_n now_o though_o these_o time_n be_v abolish_v &_o so_o those_o commandment_n as_o touch_v these_o

may_v still_o hold_v all_o those_o abolish_v ceremonial_a law_n to_o be_v of_o use_n in_o the_o church_n still_o &_o moral_a i_o conclude_v therefore_o take_v away_o the_o time_n &_o seven_o day_n and_o take_v away_o also_o the_o law_n of_o the_o time_n and_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n argum_fw-la xvi_o my_o 16_o argument_n in_o defence_n of_o god_n sabbath_n be_v that_o the_o time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n must_v
be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a or_o else_o those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n and_o holy_a exercise_n these_o must_v be_v ceremonial_a and_o abolish_v as_o in_o the_o former_a argument_n we_o have_v prove_v that_o if_o they_o abolish_v the_o seven_o day_n they_o abolish_v also_o the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o come_v so_o in_o this_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o if_o they_o a_o bolish_v the_o seven_o day_n they_o do_v also_o abolish_v the_o duty_n enjoin_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o con_v and_o so_o farewell_n law_n &_o duty_n both_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o direction_n from_o the_o scripture_n you_o make_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n that_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v ceremonial_a and_o abolish_v then_o must_v you_o by_o the_o same_o direction_n make_v those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n ceremonial_a &_o abolish_v also_o but_o no_o man_n will_v make_v those_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n ceremonial_a &_o abolish_v therefore_o may_v no_o man_n make_v that_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v ceremonial_a &_o abolish_v as_o for_o the_o minor_a it_o be_v gain_v say_v by_o none_o i_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o mayor_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o i_o prove_v to_o be_v

these_o be_v but_o cloak_n to_o cover_v their_o evil_a deal_n with_o god_n under_o a_o pretence_n of_o scripture_n because_o this_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n have_v be_v out_o of_o use_n in_o the_o

to_o reject_v this_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n than_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o these_o scripture_n be_v allege_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o text_n for_o that_o purpose_n

be_v suppose_v of_o divine_a institution_n so_o necessary_a than_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n as_o without_o it_o religion_n &_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v of_o a_o continual_a consumption_n now_o since_o there_o be_v no_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n but_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o

&_o beast_n yea_o in_o a_o sort_n necessary_a also_o &_o thus_o much_o of_o this_o argument_n argum_fw-la xxiiii_o because_o many_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o law_n &_o light_n of_o nature_n hold_v that_o only_a to_o be_v moral_a in_o the_o decalogue_n which_o be_v ratify_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o such_o therefore_o i_o frame_v this_o argument_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o duty_n which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o

then_o make_v know_v unto_o a_o natural_a man_n hereto_o i_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v not_o material_a whither_o the_o duty_n be_v first_o find_v out_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o after_o

of_o nature_n allow_v and_o approve_v be_v teach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o observe_v those_o which_o be_v never_o teach_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o find_n of_o they_o nor_o the_o manner_n

the_o come_v may_v be_v understand_v either_o of_o these_o way_n for_o the_o word_n sabbath_n it_o may_v be_v translate_v either_o a_o sabbath_n or_o the_o sabbath_n either_o of_o a_o day_n certain_a

must_v they_o not_o be_v enforce_v then_o to_o apply_v the_o four_o come_v to_o the_o saturday_n and_o to_o it_o alone_o 2._o by_o the_o like_a licentiouse_a liberty_n in_o expound_v of_o scripture_n we_o may_v make_v most_o thing_n that_o be_v certain_a and_o well_o know_v which_o to_o become_v uncertain_a and_o unknown_a which_o for_o example_n the_o name_n jesus_n when_o the_o text_n declare_v

for_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o these_o word_n remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o how_o will_v the_o patroness_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n rage_n and_o storm_n to_o hear_v any_o

yet_o in_o a_o sense_n every_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n i_o desire_v they_o but_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n four_o come_v which_o mention_v the_o sabbath_n day_n like_a as_o they_o will_v have_v other_o deal_v with_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o it_o be_v command_v i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v that_o by_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o comm_n be_v mean_v not_o a_o unknown_a and_o uncortaine_a day_n but_o a_o certain_a and_o well_o know_v day_n not_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o this_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v before_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v prove_v it_o furrh_a because_o some_o think_v that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n may_v as_o well_o be_v apply_v unto_o sunday_n as_o to_o saturday_n and_o so_o the_o four_o comm_n may_v hold_v its_o morality_n in_o bind_v unto_o sunday_n and_o first_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o translator_n both_o new_a and_o old_a look_v into_o all_o our_o english_a bibles_n both_o old_a and_o new_o translate_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o four_o come_v but_o also_o constant_o in_o all_o other_o place_n of_o scriptute_fw-la where_o be_v any_o mention_n of_o this_o name_n sabbath_n day_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o translate_n it_o not_o a_o sabbath_n but_o the_o sabbath_n which_o show_v clear_o that_o how_o ever_o the_o word_n may_v be_v render_v a_o sabbath_n yet_o that_o translation_n be_v not_o the_o best_a and_o therefore_o they_o have_v reject_v it_o and_o have_v unanimous_o translate_v it_o the_o sabbath_n neither_o be_v this_o do_v by_o any_o that_o favour_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o by_o those_o who_o rather_o favour_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v have_v make_v some_o way_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o translation_n if_o it_o can_v have_v be_v 2._o the_o lord_n have_v in_o the_o very_o come_v itself_o limit_v the_o sabbath_n unto_o a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n and_o that_o 1._o by_o its_o proper_a name_n sabbath_n day_n which_o belong_v proper_o unto_o our_o saturday_n not_o indefinite_o and_o in_o common_a to_o any_o day_n as_o have_v be_v shown_n 2._o by_o decipher_v it_o out_o most_o plain_o to_o be_v the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o these_o word_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o uncertain_a which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v but_o well_o know_v to_o be_v saturday_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n 3._o it_o be_v that_o very_a day_n which_o must_v be_v sanctify_v by_o man_n which_o god_n himself_o sanctify_v and_o set_v we_o for_o a_o pattern_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o we_o have_v it_o in_o the_o reason_n assizm_v to_o the_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o now_o the_o day_n which_o god_n rest_v on_o and_o the_o day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a be_v a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n see_v gen._n 2.3_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n not_o a_o seven_o day_n 3._o i_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o comm._n be_v a_o certain_a know_a day_n and_o not_o a_o uncertain_a day_n partly_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o moses_n exo._n 16.23_o where_o upon_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n v._o 22._o moses_n teld_v the_o people_n thus_o say_v to_o

moses_n can_v say_v of_o it_o the_o day_n before_o it_o come_v to_o morrow_n it_o shall_v be_v etc._n etc._n so_o much_o also_o may_v be_v collect_v out_o of_o luk._n 13.14_o and_o act._n 13.42.44_o final_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o divine_n who_o affirm_v that_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n which_o they_o keep_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v until_o christ_n come_v as_o else_o where_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v more_o large_o now_o if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o by_o the_o

prove_v undeniable_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n not_o a_o sabbath_n it_o be_v a_o day_n certain_a and_o not_o uncertain_a it_o be_v not_o

they_o do_v who_o by_o their_o false_a gloss_n and_o idle_a distinction_n do_v labour_n to_o make_v people_n believe_v that_o god_n certain_a and_o know_v time_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n

into_o the_o four_o come_v you_o have_v see_v it_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o thowsand_n of_o year_n until_o christ_n and_o that_o by_o the_o name_n

common_a bread_n at_o our_o table_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v call_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n exod._n 20.10_o and_o the_o holy_a of_o the_o lord_n isa_n 58.13_o and_o my_o holy_a day_n isa_n 58.13_o and_o my_o sabbath_n isa_n 56.4_o how_o mean_o soever_o time_n now_o count_v of_o this_o day_n yet_o you_o see_v by_o these_o name_n and_o epithet_n how_o god_n esteem_v of_o it_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v god_n to_o hallow_v this_o seven_o day_n saturday_n sabbath_n the_o reason_n then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o evident_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n you_o see_v one_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o birth_n day_n and_o marriage_n day_n because_o on_o those_o day_n they_o be_v bear_v &_o marry_v those_o jew_n ester_n 9_o keep_v the_o day_n of_o purim_n because_o of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o christ_n passion_n day_n resurrection_n day_n or_o ascension_n day_n be_v there_o not_o some_o reason_n even_o in_o thes_n for_o one_o day_n above_o all_o other_o even_o so_o be_v there_o not_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v &_o rest_v on_o above_o all_o other_o since_o that_o god_n solemnize_v it_o &_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o do_v therefore_o bless_v it_o &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o himself_o have_v rest_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v observe_v by_o such_o as_o expound_v the_o come_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o one_o of_o seven_o that_o be_v of_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o of_o some_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o other_o as_o if_o god_n have_v make_v no_o choice_n or_o difference_n of_o day_n &_o as_o if_o god_n have_v as_o well_o sanctify_a sunday_n monday_n tewsday_n etc._n etc._n and_o make_v they_o holy_a day_n as_o saturday_n his_o sacred_a day_n there_o be_v beside_o other_o these_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v celebrate_v this_o day_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o 1._o because_o on_o this_o day_n god_n rest_v and_o not_o on_o any_o of_o the_o other_o 6_o day_n &_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n 2._o god_n hallow_v and_o sanctify_v this_o day_n &_o so_o he_o do_v not_o honour_v any_o other_o of_o the_o six_o day_n but_o appoint_v they_o for_o work_v 3._o god_n have_v special_a reason_n to_o sanctify_v this_o day_n because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o it_o but_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n so_o to_o sanctify_v any_o of_o the_o six_o day_n for_o he_o rest_v not_o on_o those_o but_o wrought_v on_o they_o 4._o

of_o the_o four_o comm_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o reason_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v god_n shall_v persuade_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o

than_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n for_o these_o begin_v but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o begin_v before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o because_o god_n sanctify_v and_o

one_o be_v once_o every_o week_n the_o other_o once_o every_o year_n 4._o because_o god_n place_v the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o first_o table_n thereof_o but_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v exclude_v thence_o and_o never_o come_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n 5._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o and_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o belong_v unto_o all_o man_n alike_o but_o so_o be_v it_o not_o with_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o

now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v

then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
10_o commandment_n that_o be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n god_n have_v express_o command_v it_o to_o be_v do_v in_o his_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o commandment_n therefore_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n here_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n prove_v that_o first_o because_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o do_v the_o point_n than_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o god_n have_v command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o come_v &_o here_o first_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o two_o that_o this_o sabbath_n day_n be_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o former_a see_v exod._n 20.8_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a or_o to_o sanctify_v it_o where_o you_o see_v a_o express_a commandment_n give_v to_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o to_o sanctify_v it_o or_o keep_v it_o holy_a &_o so_o the_o former_a point_n be_v prove_v the_o next_o point_n to_o be_v prove_v be_v that_o this_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v the_o seven_o &_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n &_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v first_o by_o humane_a testimony_n two_o by_o divine_a testimony_n for_o humane_a

before_o the_o law_n at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n &_o after_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 1._o before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n see_v exod_a 16.26_o six_o day_n shall_v you_o gather_v

after_o christ_n death_n as_o you_o may_v see_v mat._n 28.1_o mark_n 16.1.2_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v god_n and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n understod_a the_o seven_o &_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n &_o so_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v that_o god_n command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_n law_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n the_o proof_n of_o this_o will_v cost_v i_o long_o time_n than_o the_o former_a not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o former_a but_o that_o man_n of_o perverse_a mind_n have_v wilful_o bend_v their_o wites_z &_o learning_n against_o it_o as_o they_o have_v do_v against_o the_o former_a but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n truth_n shall_v prevail_v god_n assist_v it_o the_o point_n then_o that_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o commandment_n it_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o now_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o obey_v if_o they_o deny_v this_o major_n than_o i_o require_v they_o to_o give_v i_o a_o

remember_v that_o they_o bring_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n for_o their_o instance_n 2._o happy_o they_o will_v answer_v by_o lymitation_n &_o distinguish_v and_o so_o deny_v some_o part_n of_o this_o major_n for_o example_n sometime_o they_o distinguish_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n &_o of_o the_o accident_n grant_v those_o deny_v these_o by_o substance_n they_o

but_o this_o be_v a_o foolish_a distinction_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o vile_a in_o that_o it_o be_v make_v against_o god_n for_o have_v not_o god_n as_o well_o command_v the_o accident_n &_o time_n as_o the_o substance_n and_o rest_v &_o be_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o obey_v god_n in_o one_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o other_o for_o the_o one_o be_v as_o well_o command_v as_o the_o other_o do_v they_o distinguish_v between_o thing_n command_v &_o thing_n not_o command_v it_o be_v tolerable_a but_o they_o distinguish_v of_o thing_n all_o of_o they_o command_v as_o

our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v they_o a_o other_o lesson_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v break_v one_o of_o these_o least_o commandment_n he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o least_o in_o the_o

1._o this_o be_v a_o position_n so_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o all_o god_n 10_o commandment_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o obedience_n of_o they_o &_o be_v still_o in_o force_n now_o if_o it_o be_v

over_o a_o few_o year_n such_o a_o house_n shall_v be_v on_o fire_n in_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o have_v also_o bid_v they_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v put_v to_o quench_v the_o

here_o for_o this_o end_n consider_v that_o this_o be_v such_o a_o flight_n as_o be_v make_v out_o of_o a_o city_n by_o the_o inhabitant_n when_o the_o enemy_n have_v besiege_v it_o with_o soldier_n as_o you_o may_v see_v luk._n 21.20.21_o now_o when_o the_o besiege_a &_o distress_a citizen_n fly_v out_o from_o the_o violence_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o usual_o carry_v out_o with_o they_o whatsoever_o thing_n of_o worth_n they_o have_v in_o the_o city_n even_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a they_o can_v as_o their_o young_a infant_n and_o child_n their_o best_a apparel_n and_o other_o

of_o the_o body_n by_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o much_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o word_n flight_n so_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n bid_v they_o pray_v against_o flight_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v bid_v they_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v drive_v to_o carry_v burden_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o

the_o word_n profane_v signify_v but_o to_o make_v a_o thing_n common_a &_o what_o do_v they_o else_o by_o flight_n on_o the_o sabbath_n but_o make_v it_o a_o common_a day_n to_o wit_n a_o travail_a &_o a_o labour_a day_n the_o will_n of_o christ_n doubtless_o be_v none_o other_o than_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o four_o come_v that_o be_v that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v be_v careful_a

on_o it_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o to_o fly_v to_o save_v a_o man_n life_n as_o they_o do_v who_o be_v besiege_v etc._n etc._n hereunto_o i_o answer_v yis_o it_o be_v a_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o profane_v a_o holy_a thing_n but_o to_o convert_v it_o unto_o common_a use_n &_o be_v it_o man_n travail_v to_o save_v their_o life_n yet_o since_o travail_v &_o labour_v be_v common_a work_n by_o travail_v and_o labour_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o they_o do_v on_o common_a day_n they_o make_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o common_a day_n and_o so_o profane_a it_o neither_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o profane_v &_o make_v common_a the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o profanation_n of_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n as_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v the_o profanation_n remain_v still_o but_o it_o be_v no_o sinful_a profanation_n 2._o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o objection_n do_v strengthen_v my_o argument_n for_o if_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o fly_v &_o travail_v &_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n no_o not_o to_o save_v their_o life_n if_o possible_o by_o mean_n of_o prayer_n they_o may_v avoid_v it_o much_o less_o will_v he_o have_v man_n do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n when_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n and_o in_o a_o common_a case_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o christ_n be_v marvellous_o zealouse_a of_o his_o father_n sabbath_n to_o have_v they_o religious_o &_o careful_o sanctify_v after_o his_o death_n when_o he_o
will_v not_o have_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v no_o not_o such_o necessary_a work_n as_o may_v save_v their_o life_n on_o the_o sabbath_n if_o they_o may_v be_v prevent_v &_o thus_o i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o four_o thing_n in_o my_o minor_n the_o 5_o and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v in_o my_o minor_n be_v that_o this_o flight_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v speak_v of_o to_o be_v about_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n &_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n that_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o vespasian_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o 40_o or_o 46._o year_n after_o

it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v near_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o confirm_v both_o propositiones_fw-la in_o my_o argument_n yet_o ay_o cale_fw-la to_o mind_n iij_o objection_n more_o that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o this_o argument_n the_o one_o be_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o respect_v so_o much_o unto_o the_o religion_n &_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o rather_o to_o this_o that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n to_o the_o safeguard_n of_o the_o life_n of_o those_o besiege_a for_o if_o they_o

four_o come_v to_o be_v abolish_v 2._o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o slight_a on_o the_o sabbath_n he_o speak_v it_o in_o a_o religiouse_a respect_n but_o admit_v that_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o so_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o still_o that_o christ_n ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o

christianes_n but_o he_o go_v
further_a than_o so_o for_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o plain_a &_o right_o down_o exhortation_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o say_v he_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o can_v bemore_n plain_a have_v ignatius_n esteem_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n as_o many_o think_v now_o a_o day_n or_o judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n too_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o the_o primitive_a church_n remain_v in_o their_o great_a purity_n so_o long_a christian_n retain_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a

church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o commandment_n say_v god_n bless_v and_o hallow_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o hallow_a as_o the_o four_o commandment_n speak_v wherefore_o when_o the_o minister_n say_v remember_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n if_o then_o we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n do_v we_o not_o so_o make_v answer_n as_o sometime_o deaf_a man_n do_v who_o when_o a_o man_n cale_v for_o a_o knife_n they_o bring_v he_o the_o sheath_n &_o when_o the_o minister_n tell_v the_o

keep_v the_o 8_o day_n be_v we_o not_o then_o like_o those_o that_o come_v to_o church_n when_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v &_o that_o go_v to_o sell_v comodity_n the_o day_n after_o the_o fair_a yea_o be_v not_o this_o to_o babble_n with_o god_n and_o to_o profane_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v take_v but_o ij_o way_n it_o be_v a_o very_a absurd_a thing_n &_o uncharitable_a for_o any_o man_n to_o expound_v they_o in_o the_o worse_a sense_n which_o be_v a_o false_a and_o absurd_a sense_n wherefore_o since_o the_o lord_n day_n

thus_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n to_o wit_n that_o our_o church_n do_v pray_v to_o god_n daily_o to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o so_o

have_v think_v to_o have_v add_v no_o more_o by_o way_n of_o proof_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o further_a search_n have_v minister_v unto_o i_o more_o argument_n &_o these_o they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n if_o we_o must_v imitate_v he_o then_o must_v we_o keep_v the_o same_o day_n in_o order_n when_o iâ—_n come_v and_o so_o do_v
say_v to_o remember_v the_o word_n of_o jesus_n which_o he_o have_v say_v unto_o he_o mat._n 26.75_o and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o whereas_o god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o speak_v

that_o there_o be_v between_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o magistrate_n that_o there_o be_v between_o the_o servant_n and_o master_n but_o servant_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n may_v profane_v the_o sabbath_n as_o namely_o in_o this_o case_n of_o necessity_n when_o their_o master_n command_v they_o to_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n then_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n upon_o they_o for_o

be_v like_o necessity_n for_o subject_n to_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n as_o there_o be_v for_o servant_n when_o command_v by_o their_o master_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v for_z 1._o our_o magistrate_n command_v we_o to_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caling_n on_o saturday_n which_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o 2._o god_n word_n command_v subject_n to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o magistrate_n

then_o man_n i_o answer_v by_o a_o denial_n the_o four_o commandment_n do_v no_o where_n forbid_v a_o servant_n to_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n when_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o master_n to_o

have_v his_o master_n allowance_n the_o 5_o commandment_n speak_v of_o superioure_n but_o lay_v the_o charge_n express_o on_o inferioure_n so_o the_o four_o commandment_n speak_v of_o servant_n but_o

can_v be_v apply_v unto_o servant_n 3._o consider_v that_o the_o servant_n be_v not_o at_o liberty_n nor_o have_v the_o power_n of_o himself_o but_o be_v at_o his_o master_n command_n common_a reason_n incline_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o commandment_n rather_o as_o give_v to_o and_o bind_v the_o master_n than_o the_o servant_n this_o point_n you_o may_v see_v learned_o observe_v and_o

much_o for_o my_o former_a argument_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v and_o so_o the_o lord_n day_n keptin_n room_n of_o the_o

may_v be_v change_v for_o a_o season_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o argum_fw-la ii_o if_o the_o passeover_n day_n may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o

be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n i_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n or_o the_o consequence_n to_o be_v good_a because_o there_o be_v like_a reason_n of_o both_o that_o be_v of_o the_o passeover_n day_n and_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o this_o i_o make_v appear_v in_o these_o particular_n 1._o as_o the_o

that_o very_a sabbath_n day_n where_o of_o god_n speak_v in_o his_o four_o come_v then_o be_v these_o word_n in_o the_o come_v to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v the_o

sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v the_o one_o to_o abolish_v the_o other_o this_o be_v so_o i_o proceed_v if_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o

to_o sanctify_v it_o i_o have_v put_v the_o word_n in_o controversy_n in_o a_o parenthesis_n as_o you_o see_v now_o let_v thes_n minister_n take_v a_o way_n those_o word_n in_o the_o parenthesis_n and_o you_o take_v quiet_a away_o the_o very_a subject_a matter_n of_o the_o lord_n speech_n you_o leave_v a_o roof_n with_o out_o a_o foundation_n god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbathday_n but_o if_o

5.12_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n how_o shall_v a_o man_n keep_v it_o again_o god_n say_v sanctify_v it_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o sanctify_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o what_o can_v we_o remember_v to_o sanctify_v a_o nothing_o so_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o very_a commandment_n the_o four_o come_v be_v utter_o nullify_v by_o their_o obiectiones_fw-la and_o make_v to_o speak_v nonsense_n or_o a_o nothing_o this_o be_v my_o first_o argument_n my_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o their_o own_o sense_n &_o use_v of_o it_o for_o when_o i_o urge_v they_o with_o the_o name_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v they_o turn_v i_o off_o with_o this_o that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n in_o english_a well_o be_v it_o so_o a_o rest_n let_v it_o signify_v from_o these_o two_o text_n then_o i_o argue_v again_o thus_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v they_o be_v the_o four_o come_v itself_o utter_o abolish_v but_o that_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v themselves_o confess_v it_o in_o their_o object_v two_o text_n for_o in_o thes_n text_n be_v the_o word_n

2.16_o against_o the_o same_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o comm_n which_o signi_v a_o rest_n also_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o sabbath_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o

and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n namely_o that_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v then_o be_v the_o four_o come_v utter_o and_o for_o ever_o abolish_v this_o i_o make_v good_a thus_o if_o that_o rest_n from_o our_o servile_a labour_n be_v abolish_v which_o be_v once_o in_o the_o four_o come_v command_v then_o now_o we_o may_v labour_v in_o our_o

thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n exod._n 20.9_o and_o the_o first_o of_o these_o 6_o day_n be_v the_o day_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o four_o come_v now_o this_o law_n injoin_v we_o to_o labour_v six_o day_n &_o consequent_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v never_o repeal_v for_o it_o be_v no_o type_n or_o shadow_n of_o christ_n

command_v we_o to_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n behold_v whither_o these_o man_n be_v not_o fit_a expounder_n of_o scripture_n when_o they_o be_v so_o ignorant_a therein_o as_o they_o make_v not_o only_o one_o scripture_n contradict_v a_o other_o scripture_n but_o than_o the_o which_o be_v nothing_o more_o absurd_a they_o make_v one_o and_o the_o same_o scripture_n to_o contradict_v itself_o for_o they_o make_v the_o four_o come_v to_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o it_o say_v the_o quite_o contrary_a six_o day_n thou_o shall_v work_v of_o which_o 6_o

of_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o understand_v not_o what_o they_o speak_v neither_o whereof_o they_o affirm_v 1._o tim._n 1.7_o my_o second_o argument_n against_o they_o be_v this_o that_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o every_o seven_o day_n but_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n for_o

day_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v my_o three_o argument_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v because_o the_o time_n the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n as_o they_o cale_fw-la it_z in_o the_o four_o comm._n be_v abolish_v as_o themselves_o say_v &_o teach_v for_o they_o teach_v that_o by_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n rom._n 14.5_o gal._n 4.10_o and_o colos_n 2.16.17_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o

the_o jew_n then_o must_v they_o think_v that_o these_o famous_a actiones_fw-la must_v be_v remember_v not_o on_o the_o day_n wherein_o they_o be_v do_v the_o lord_n day_n but_o the_o day_n after_o it_o on_o moonday_n &_o this_o day_n must_v be_v our_o new_a sabbath_n or_o if_o they_o will_v imitate_v god_n and_o borrow_v any_o light_n from_o he_o then_o must_v they_o think_v that_o the_o day_n after_o all_o be_v do_v must_v be_v the_o sabbath_n and_o as_o god_n set_v up_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n on_o the_o 6_o day_n so_o they_o be_v to_o

a_o sabbath_n do_v you_o ask_v why_o do_v not_o christ_n rise_v on_o this_o day_n thus_o they_o argue_v so_o confident_o as_o if_o it_o can_v not_o be_v doubt_v of_o but_o that_o the_o resurrection_n must_v needs_o raise_v up_o a_o new_a sabbath_n but_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v by_o the_o like_a reason_n show_v that_o by_o as_o good_a reason_n as_o this_o be_v we_o may_v have_v every_o friday_n &_o every_o thursday_n sabbath_v also_o for_o friday_n may_v not_o a_o man_n say_v thus_o friday_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n because_o on_o this_o day_n christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o on_o the_o

may_v as_o well_o have_v 3_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n as_o this_o one_o of_o lord_n day_n if_o any_o shall_v object_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o great_a &_o therefore_o most_o fit_a that_o it_o before_o the_o other_o ij_o shall_v be_v the_o sabbath_n i_o answer_v if_o we_o may_v compare_v they_o friday_n be_v the_o great_a for_o on_o it_o christ_n bear_v the_o unsupportable_a wrath_n of_o his_o father_n for_o we_o which_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o but_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n there_o be_v only_a christ_n soul_n put_v into_o

a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o

must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o redemption_n but_o where_o be_v their_o imitation_n of_o christ_n do_v they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o follow_v their_o calling_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n

they_o suppose_v that_o we_o have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v a_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o creation_n i_o deny_v it_o for_o god_n have_v give_v the_o jew_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o it_o alone_o to_o keep_v in_o memory_n his_o creation_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a because_o they_o have_v no_o other_o help_n but_o for_o we_o &_o for_o the_o redemption_n we_o have_v two_o sacrament_n baptism_n &_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o redemption_n &_o

probable_a that_o in_o this_o long_a and_o large_a discourse_n of_o sabbath_n moses_n speak_v of_o ij_o sort_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o exod._n 31.13.14_o and_o of_o the_o

34.21.22.23_o and_o in_o levit._n 23.3.4.24.32.38.39_o a_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v moses_n in_o charge_n to_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n exod._n 25.8.9_o the_o make_v whereof_o will_v cost_v great_a &_o long_a labour_n now_o lest_o the_o people_n shall_v think_v that_o because_o the_o work_n about_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v a_o holy_a work_n perteyn_a unto_o god_n for_o his_o service_n and_o worship_n that_o therefore_o they_o may_v put_v no_o difference_n of_o day_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o this_o work_n but_o that_o they_o may_v work_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n also_o whither_o weekly_a sabbath_n or_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o 6_o work_a day_n to_o prevent_v this_o notwithstanding_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o sabbath_n you_o shall_v keep_v etc._n etc._n exod._n 31.13_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v albeit_o i_o will_v that_o you_o make_v i_o a_o tabernacle_n etc._n etc._n yet_o i_o will_v not_o that_o you_o work_v about_o it_o on_o my_o sabbath_n day_n now_o because_o the_o people_n be_v as_o prone_a upon_o this_o occasion_n of_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n when_o their_o turn_n come_v as_o upon_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v as_o well_o make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n and_o that_o therefore_o in_o this_o text_n exod._n 31._o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 13.14_o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 15.16.17_o that_o so_o the_o people_n appoint_v to_o work_v about_o the_o tabcrnacle_n as_o bezaleel_n and_o aboliab_n and_o the_o rest_n they_o may_v not_o work_v either_o upon_o the_o yearly_a or_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o be_v all_o these_o 5_o verse_n spend_v only_o about_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n only_o then_o have_v not_o god_n make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o can_v be_v lik_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o in_o these_o few_o verse_n v._n 13.14.15.16.17_o there_o be_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n to_o those_o that_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n two_o several_a time_n &_o in_o two_o several_a verse_n as_o in_o v._o 14._o whosoever_o work_v therein_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o people_n and_o in_o v._o 15._o whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o it_o be_v not_o lik_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n shall_v be_v repeat_v and_o twice_o together_o threaten_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n it_o be_v most_o likly_a that_o here_o moses_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o they_o in_o v._o 14._o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 15._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n also_o to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o remember_v that_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v beaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o v._o 17._o now_o these_o diverse_a sign_n do_v intimate_v that_o here_o may_v be_v diverse_a sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n for_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o one_o kind_n and_o creation_n to_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o probable_a that_o redemption_n and_o creation_n shall_v be_v both_o apply_v unto_o one_o kind_n only_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o liklihod_n there_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o about_o which_o we_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v take_v away_o these_o answer_n and_o prove_v unto_o v._o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a 7._o day_n sabbath_n they_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n all_o their_o labour_n have_v be_v

therefore_o abolish_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n

may_v easy_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v therein_o &_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n god_n enjoin_v for_o a_o sabbath_n wherefore_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v it_o be_v in_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o minister_n against_o something_o command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o this_o opposition_n there_o arise_v difficulty_n because_o they_o trouble_v the_o water_n of_o man_n understanding_n by_o bring_v many_o &_o intricate_a reason_n out_o of_o scripture_n against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v which_o intricate_a argument_n if_o these_o minister_n will_v forbear_v than_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o all_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o beat_a path_n way_n wherefore_o since_o you_o see_v where_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v my_o counsel_n to_o all_o such_o people_n as_o plead_v ignorance_n &_o want_v of_o learning_n in_o this_o controversy_n shall_v be_v that_o they_o will_v therefore_o rather_o follow_v god_n than_o their_o minister_n for_o god_n way_n be_v a_o plain_a smooth_a easy_a &_o beat_a way_n so_o as_o every_o man_n learn_v or_o unlern_v may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n sabbath_n it_o be_v such_o a_o rugged_a way_n &_o such_o a_o difficult_a way_n full_a of_o so_o many_o secret_a &_o hidden_a wind_n &_o turn_n as_o people_n of_o common_a capacety_n can_v conceive_v it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
themselves_o no_o neither_o can_v man_n else_o use_v they_o unto_o the_o day_n we_o now_o keep_v for_o god_n do_v move_v unto_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o saturday_n &_o seven_o day_n 1._o because_o himself_o at_o the_o creation_n rest_v on_o it_o 2._o because_o he_o have_v bless_v that_o day_n &_o hallow_v it_o &_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n now_o these_o two_o reason_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o our_o lord_n day_n for_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n do_v not_o rest_n on_o our_o lord_n day_n no_o neither_o do_v he_o then_o bless_v &_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o then_o know_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o they_o bave_v make_v clear_a work_n for_o they_o have_v take_v away_o both_o the_o body_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o the_o reason_n annex_v to_o it_o by_o god_n thus_o they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o whole_a four_o come_v head_n &_o tail_n root_n &_o branch_n it_o stand_v for_o we_o now_o only_o to_o

&_o to_o the_o redemption_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o creation_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n we_o here_o speak_v for_o it_o differ_v from_o those_o

it_o be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o reason_n that_o it_o shall_v for_o albeit_o that_o such_o sign_n shall_v vanish_v as_o have_v respect_n unto_o thing_n future_a when_o once_o the_o substance_n be_v

testimony_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o purpose_n see_v ex._n 31.17_o where_o the_o lord_n speake_v of_o our_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o of_o our_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n say_v thus_o it_o

seven_o day_n rest_n be_v a_o sign_n between_o i_o &_o you_o of_o my_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o seven_o day_n rest_n thus_o the_o sense_n must_v be_v render_v if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n as_o they_o

to_o wit_n the_o 5_o november_n &_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o the_o rest_n from_o work_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a praise_n of_o god_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v tend_v to_o

to_o he_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n namely_o the_o necessity_n of_o want_n poverty_n &_o hunger_n now_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o i_o will_v

6.1_o which_o work_v they_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v a_o little_a hunger_n and_o christ_n justify_v this_o action_n now_o if_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o

you_o know_v that_o to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v require_v the_o help_n of_o the_o minister_n luk._n 4.16_o act._n 15.21_o to_o go_v before_o the_o people_n in_o the_o

now_o than_o we_o must_v keep_v they_o without_o that_o ordinance_n of_o god_n ministry_n &_o so_o our_o soul_n shall_v languish_v &_o pine_v away_o for_o lack_v of_o the_o daily_a bread_n the_o

2.15_o argum_fw-la ix_o my_o 9th_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o force_n the_o whole_a four_o come_v with_o every_o part_n &_o parcel_n of_o it_o be_v abolish_v nullify_v &_o altogether_o useless_a and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v if_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o now_o in_o force_n then_o be_v the_o whole_a four_o come_v nullify_v &_o altogether_o useless_a but_o the_o four_o come_v be_v not_o nullify_v &_o become_v useless_a therefore_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n now_o in_o force_n first_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o namely_o that_o the_o four_o come_v be_v now_o in_o force_n this_o be_v plain_a first_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o ratifi_v the_o very_a lest_o of_o the_o commandment_n as_o you_o may_v see_v math._n 5.19_o second_o it_o be_v ratify_v by_o our_o church_n which_o have_v order_v that_o the_o four_o come_v be_v read_v in_o our_o church_n &_o also_o that_o the_o people_n shall_v use_v this_o prayer_n at_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o it_o by_o the_o minister_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n three_o i_o know_v no_o divine_a one_o or_o other_o that_o deni_v it_o or_o doubt_v of_o it_o &_o it_o be_v heinouse_a impiety_n for_o any_o to_o deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v one_o of_o the_o ten_o moral_a law_n of_o almighty_a god_n so_o much_o therefore_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_n i_o come_v then_o unto_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n wherein_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n do_v draw_v after_o it_o the_o nullify_n of_o the_o whole_a four_o come_v &_o now_o i_o prove_v it_o in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v ij_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v the_o commandment_n itself_o the_o other_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o come_v and_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o both_o these_o be_v nullify_v by_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o by_o deny_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o commandment_n itself_o that_o i_o may_v shewhow_v this_o be_v nullify_v first_o we_o must_v see_v what_o it_o be_v which_o they_o deny_v namely_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o which_o word_n we_o will_v consider_v that_o they_o deny_v the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n to_o be_v in_o force_n now_o &_o then_o we_o will_v consider_v how_o they_o deny_v the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n to_o be_v in_o force_n now_o for_o both_o these_o they_o do_v deny_v in_o deny_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v now_o in_o force_n of_o these_o two_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n which_o they_o do_v deny_v by_o these_o text_n exod._n 31.13_o &_o col._n 2.16.17_o now_o i_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n specify_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v &_o not_o in_o force_n now_o then_o be_v the_o four_o come_v make_v nonsense_n and_o to_o stand_v for_o a_o cipher_n and_o that_o this_o may_v appear_v you_o shall_v see_v it_o make_v plain_a to_o your_o very_a eyesight_n the_o lord_n god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o exod._n 20.8_o now_o the_o sabbath_n day_n here_o mention_v it_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n but_o this_o old_a sabbath_n day_n say_v these_o new_a sabbatharians_n be_v abolish_v &_o not_o in_o force_n now_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o in_o this_o commandment_n exod._n 20.8_o the_o lord_n god_n command_v now_o at_o this_o time_n just_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o take_v away_o these_o ij_o word_n sabbath_n day_n from_o out_o the_o commandment_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o put_v so_o many_o cipher_n as_o you_o have_v letter_n in_o the_o two_o word_n as_o you_o may_v do_v if_o those_o word_n or_o the_o thing_n mean_v by_o those_o word_n be_v abolish_v &_o then_o the_o commandment_n be_v no_o more_o but_o thus_o much_o remember_v the_o 0000000000_o to_o sanctify_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o denial_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n they_o have_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n &_o god_n commandment_n to_o become_v nonsense_n and_o a_o bundle_n of_o cipher_n &_o this_o must_v be_v so_o unless_o they_o can_v show_v we_o that_o god_n command_v we_o two_o sabbath_n day_n in_o his_o four_o come_v the_o one_o call_v sabbath_n day_n the_o other_o call_v lord_n day_n which_o all_o the_o logic_n in_o their_o head_n can_v never_o do_v and_o so_o much_o for_o their_o denial_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o other_o thing_n that_o they_o deny_v to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n &_o in_o this_o i_o will_v consider_v apart_o these_o ij_o thing_n first_o the_o word_n day_n &_o then_o the_o word_n seven_o first_o for_o the_o word_n day_n they_o say_v that_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o old_a day_n be_v abolish_v &_o as_o by_o other_o text_n so_o also_o by_o these_o text_n rom._n 14.5_o &_o gal._n 4.10_o second_o for_o the_o word_n seven_o they_o say_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o order_n of_o time_n be_v abolish_v to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n whence_o it_o follow_v 1._o that_o if_o the_o day_n be_v abolish_v then_o be_v there_o no_o day_n now_o enjoin_v in_o the_o four_o come_v for_o take_v away_o that_o day_n which_o be_v command_v to_o wit_n the_o old_a day_n &_o then_o be_v there_o now_o no_o day_n require_v for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v so_o then_o now_o a_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o sabhath_fw-mi &_o so_o a_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o sabbath_n hour_n loe_o then_o if_o by_o denial_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v not_o nullify_v the_o four_o con_v or_o as_o good_a as_o nullify_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v a_o whole_a day_n celebrate_v for_o his_o worship_n by_o the_o four_o come_v but_o now_o we_o need_v give_v he_o but_o a_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n for_o his_o worship_n by_o the_o four_o come_v thus_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o lecture_n day_n &_o be_v not_o this_o a_o manifest_a violence_n do_v unto_o god_n law_n and_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v by_o their_o denial_n unless_o they_o can_v show_v we_o that_o god_n command_v ij_o day_n in_o his_o four_o come_v a_o old_a day_n &_o a_o new_a day_n the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o 8_o day_n two_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n be_v abolish_v as_o they_o say_v it_o be_v than_o now_o a_o day_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o give_v god_n one_o day_n in_o every_o 7_o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o we_o may_v give_v god_n one_o day_n in_o 7_o
