who_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o relative_n duty_n of_o diligence_n in_o their_o calling_n or_o of_o justice_n in_o their_o deal_n who_o know_v not_o how_o to_o govern_v either_o their_o soul_n

state_n of_o innocence_n god_n appoint_v and_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o commemoration_n of_o the_o worldly_a creation_n and_o add_v a_o law_n of_o ceremonious_a rest_n to_o the_o jew_n as_o a_o part_n of_o their_o pedagogy_n and_o a_o shadow_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v now_o do_v away_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o after_o his_o ascension_n on_o that_o day_n pour_v forth_o his_o spirit_n on_o his_o apostle_n to_o qualify_v they_o to_o declare_v his_o will_n to_o mankind_n in_o all_o thing_n concern_v salvation_n they_o hold_v and_o settle_a church_n assembly_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o call_v it_o by_o way_n of_o approbation_n the_o lord_n day_n rev._n i_o 10._o and_o the_o universal_a church_n as_o far_o as_o appear_v from_o church_n history_n without_o the_o least_o contradiction_n till_o our_o time_n see_v dr._n young_n dies_fw-la dominica_n and_o mr._n baxter_n divine_a appointment_n of_o the_o lordsday_n keep_v this_o day_n and_o no_o other_o as_o the_o day_n of_o state_v weekly_a solemnity_n and_o god_n be_v with_o they_o and_o own_a and_o honour_v their_o assembly_n with_o his_o gracious_a presence_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v the_o effect_n of_o strange_a weakness_n or_o intolerable_a perverseness_n for_o any_o now_o in_o these_o last_o day_n to_o question_v what_o the_o universal_a church_n have_v so_o long_o on_o so_o good_a reason_n practise_v the_o lordsday_n as_o the_o christian-sabbath_n i_o take_v to_o have_v be_v institute_v by_o christ_n if_o not_o while_o personal_o on_o earth_n yet_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o his_o apostle_n and_o as_o a_o attentive_a reader_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v there_o discern_v clear_a intimation_n of_o this_o so_o the_o current_a practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o all_o time_n and_o place_n do_v full_o confirm_v it_o nor_o ought_v we_o to_o esteem_v it_o any_o other_o than_o a_o very_a great_a privilege_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o day_n in_o seven_o to_o study_v the_o work_n and_o word_n of_o god_n to_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n to_o worship_v he_o in_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o learn_v his_o will_n for_o our_o salvation_n a_o holy_a soul_n must_v needs_o reckon_v itself_o in_o the_o confine_n of_o heaven_n while_o thus_o employ_v and_o bless_v himself_o that_o he_o may_v sometime_o retire_v thus_o from_o the_o world_n and_o enjoy_v a_o holy_a freedom_n for_o
