some_o passage_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o easter_n do_v require_v a_o little_a animadversion_n as_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o page_n 134._o which_o he_o have_v do_v several_a time_n before_o that_o the_o change_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o be_v introduce_v by_o the_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o so_o impose_v by_o he_o upon_o the_o other_o church_n which_o he_o think_v evidence_v by_o his_o former_a collection_n but_o 1._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v before_o there_o be_v a_o bp._n of_o rome_n and_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o christian_n just_a upon_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 2._o we_o have_v see_v it_o observe_v by_o very_o great_a church_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o roman_a faith_n and_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o roman_a ecclesiastical_a government_n when_o either_o the_o roman_a bishop_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o they_o or_o if_o he_o do_v they_o right_o and_o stout_o resist_v and_o refuse_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o universal_a reception_n of_o all_o the_o church_n conjunct_o as_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o scriptural_a authority_n than_o any_o imposition_n of_o rome_n upon_o they_o he_o have_v a_o strange_a notion_n page_n 130._o as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o which_o be_v that_o first_o rome_n endeavour_v to_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o passover_n upon_o the_o lordsday_n and_o so_o the_o weekly_a holy_a rest_n upon_o that_o day_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n imply_v that_o rome_n herself_o observe_v the_o passover_n lordsday_n before_o she_o do_v the_o weekly_a whereas_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o rome_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o it_o be_v the_o dominical_a day_n the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n whereas_o the_o proper_a paschal-day_n be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o honour_n to_o that_o day_n do_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n require_v easter_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o not_o ordain_v easter_n firstday_n as_o a_o shooe-horn_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o weekly_a first_o day_n after_o moreover_o in_o those_o church_n wherein_o they_o dissent_v from_o rome_n as_o to_o the_o day_n of_o easter_n they_o concur_v with_o she_o in_o the_o weekly_a lordsday_n so_o that_o the_o lordsday_n be_v weekly_o observe_v by_o they_o before_o easter_n be_v keep_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o yearly_a first_o day_n can_v not_o be_v a_o usherer_n in_o of_o that_o weekday_n which_o be_v before_o it_o sect_n xxi_o as_o the_o conclusion_n and_o result_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n that_o jehovah_n be_v not_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n nor_o rest_v on_o it_o till_o his_o incarnation_n nor_o be_v christ_n real_o till_o then_o that_o he_o give_v not_o the_o command_v on_o mount_n sinai_n neither_o be_v they_o there_o give_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o those_o mix_a people_n that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n that_o the_o ten_o command_n be_v confirm_v by_o our_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n and_o discourse_n but_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n never_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v by_o he_o in_o they_o all_o as_o that_o which_o be_v no_o part_n at_o all_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o pure_o positive_a both_o in_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o ground_n and_o motive_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v found_v and_o impose_v upon_o its_o observer_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v change_v with_o the_o other_o positive_a and_o ceremonial_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o our_o lord_n christ_n indeed_o observe_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o antecedent_n law_n of_o all_o the_o ceremony_n and_o moysaicall_a administration_n and_o observe_v they_o all_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sabbath_n but_o yet_o he_o then_o speak_v and_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o declare_v its_o approach_n to_o dissolution_n and_o its_o non-morality_n that_o he_o rest_v no_o more_o in_o the_o grave_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n than_o he_o do_v on_o the_o cross_n on_o the_o six_o when_o he_o hang_v dead_a

and_o keep_v it_o up_o in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o departure_n from_o they_o and_o its_o abrogation_n and_o so_o these_o speech_n of_o his_o will_v then_o be_v upon_o record_n and_o probable_o

that_o it_o can_v spare_v from_o the_o due_a recruit_n of_o nature_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o innocency_n will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a measure_n and_o part_n of_o

so_o also_o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o week_n or_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o be_v not_o primary_o moral_a because_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o

judge_v no_o day_n of_o the_o week_n more_o holy_a than_o another_o shall_v by_o providence_n be_v throw_v among_o mahonietans_n or_o heathen_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o shall_v be_v

judge_v the_o contrary_a if_o they_o do_v keep_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o moral_a precept_n with_o a_o sound_a faith_n in_o christ_n they_o will_v infallible_o be_v save_v though_o they_o never_o separate_v one_o day_n of_o the_o week_n entire_o to_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n but_o now_o if_o they_o do_v allowed_o live_v in_o any_o breach_n of_o the_o other_o command_v yea_o suppose_v some_o of_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v express_o teach_v they_o by_o their_o converter_n as_o if_o they_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o only_a true_a god_n in_o their_o soul_n if_o they_o

of_o these_o sin_n they_o shall_v certain_o perish_v and_o why_o but_o because_o all_o the_o other_o command_n be_v primary_o moral_a and_o this_o of_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v not_o so_o yea_o in_o keep_v the_o other_o command_v they_o keep_v the_o morality_n of_o this_o also_o command_n they_o must_v separate_v time_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o divine_a service_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a morality_n of_o the_o four_o precept_n thus_o i_o think_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o sanctification_n of_o one_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v not_o absolute_o and_o primary_o moral_a but_o yet_o it_o may_v also_o be_v conclude_v to_o be_v secondary_o and_o positive_o so_o that_o be_v that_o upon_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o the_o legislator_n and_o his_o injunction_n the_o rational_a creature_n close_v with_o it_o as_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a as_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_o reasonable_a for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o so_o than_o that_o be_v seven_o part_n of_o time_n shall_v be_v devote_v to_o his_o service_n who_o all_o our_o time_n be_v especial_o when_o it_o be_v also_o for_o the_o creature_n be_v chief_a good_a 3._o we_o have_v the_o reason_n to_o inculcate_v its_o observation_n 1._o the_o legislator_n own_o example_n because_o he_o be_v six_o day_n in_o create_v the_o world_n and_o cease_v from_o those_o work_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o it_o be_v hence_o only_o in_o all_o this_o command_n that_o they_o can_v have_v any_o show_n or_o ground_n to_o plead_v for_o the_o last_o day_n or_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o sabbath_n or_o rest_n that_o god_n do_v command_v which_o be_v no_o way_n cogent_a because_o it_o may_v be_v mean_v a_o seven_o day_n by_o way_n of_o part_n or_o portion_n and_o not_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o order_n nor_o in_o number_n of_o the_o week_n and_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o understand_v because_o i_o be_v six_o dyas_n in_o make_v the_o world_n and_o then_o rest_v so_o shall_v you_o be_v six_o day_n busy_a in_o your_o common_a lawful_a employment_n and_o then_o a_o seven_o you_o shall_v consecrate_v to_o i_o and_o my_o worship_n so_o that_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o do_v not_o enjoin_v the_o last_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o order_n but_o a_o seven_o day_n in_o proportion_n of_o time_n for_o which_o we_o have_v this_o to_o lead_v that_o see_v god_n example_n be_v make_v the_o great_a fundamental_a argument_n of_o the_o seven-day-r_a it_o shall_v hence_o follow_v that_o if_o adam_n

have_v exact_o follow_v the_o pattern_n than_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n will_v bid_v fair_a for_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n of_o all_o the_o seven_o because_o than_o adam_n must_v have_v

must_v have_v wrought_v the_o day_n follow_v which_o be_v the_o seven_o and_o so_o the_o five_o other_o day_n follow_v and_o rest_v upon_o the_o six_o day_n as_o his_o first_o sabbath_n for_o that_o will_v have_v be_v the_o day_n after_o his_o six_o day_n labour_n or_o work_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o seven_o day_n after_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n though_o it_o be_v so_o with_o respect_n to_o god_n work_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o very_a next_o day_n after_o adam_n be_v and_o can_v not_o but_o be_v within_o a_o very_a few_o hour_n if_o hour_n after_o his_o creation_n see_v it_o begin_v in_o the_o evening_n and_o so_o adam_n and_o eve_n be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o exact_a imitation_n of_o god_n in_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o first_o sabbath_n that_o in_o his_o

day_n of_o the_o creation-week_n to_o be_v the_o sabbath_n but_o then_o we_o say_v this_o be_v pure_o positive_a and_o no_o way_n moral_a at_o all_o neither_o primary_o nor_o secondary_o for_o it_o be_v be_v so_o the_o morality_n thereof_o must_v arise_v from_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v give_v for_o it_o viz._n god_n example_n even_o because_o he_o make_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n in_o six_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v imitate_v by_o we_o in_o all_o that_o he_o do_v neither_o can_v the_o rational_a creature_n conclude_v upon_o god_n revelation_n of_o his_o have_v end_v his_o work_n on_o the_o
