of_o the_o sabbath_n first_o wrap_v it_o up_o among_o his_o commandment_n and_o law_n give_v before_o this_o time_n to_o they_o and_o their_o father_n so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o institute_v a_o

shall_v he_o have_v reprove_v they_o for_o a_o transgression_n and_o a_o sin_n whereof_o there_o be_v not_o law_n next_o let_v we_o see_v what_o god_n act_n be_v whether_o they_o will_v afford_v a_o institution_n first_o he_o give_v they_o the_o manna_n vers_fw-la 15._o but_o this_o blessing_n be_v only_o on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o first_o be_v from_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o allow_v they_o on_o the_o six_o day_n the_o bread_n of_o two_o day_n where_o out_o of_o these_o word_n let_v we_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o mention_v of_o the_o sabbath_n come_v only_o in_o still_o occasional_o concern_v the_o manna_n and_o not_o of_o purpose_n to_o institute_v a_o sabbath_n but_o whole_o in_o all_o the_o four_o place_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o either_o of_o gather_v the_o

for_o upon_o these_o consideration_n about_o the_o manna_n the_o people_n hearken_v to_o moses_n and_o do_v rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n verse_n 30._o the_o second_o thing_n wherewith_o i_o will_v and_o may_v conclude_v my_o answer_n be_v that_o which_o may_v satisfy_v
out_o of_o frame_n 5._o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n that_o adam_n shall_v fall_v the_o first_o six_o day_n because_o when_o moses_n have_v

yet_o without_o crack_n or_o flaw_n in_o they_o second_o with_o mention_v of_o god_n end_v his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o not_o mar_v again_o by_o curse_v of_o it_o as_o yet_o gene._n 2._o 2._o three_o moses_n tell_v we_o how_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o wit_n from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v now_o what_o be_v rest_v but_o the_o lord_n cease_v to_o create_v further_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o what_o he_o have_v create_v and_o his_o pleasurable_a delight_n in_o the_o full_a accomplishment_n of_o his_o work_n do_v in_o those_o six_o day_n

it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o his_o write_a law_n and_o reveal_v will_n have_v god_n order_v it_o the_o three_o circumstance_n be_v that_o which_o be_v of_o universal_a observation_n by_o all_o which_o none_o but_o god_n can_v impose_v by_o his_o supreme_a authority_n to_o which_o all_o be_v alike_o equal_o subject_a and_o such_o a_o universal_a circumstance_n be_v this_o for_o
