scope_n to_o teach_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v keep_v by_o man_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o for_o that_o cause_n god_n can_v not_o understand_v it_o when_o in_o the_o day_n of_o david_n he_o speak_v to_o the_o israelite_n of_o a_o new_a entrance_n into_o his_o rest_n for_o if_o he_o have_v propound_v to_o himself_o that_o end_n doubtless_o he_o have_v utter_v it_o in_o more_o express_a term_n at_o least_o he_o have_v rather_o cite_v these_o word_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o

although_o that_o howbeit_o he_o have_v allege_v they_o no_o man_n can_v necessary_o infer_v from_o thence_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o intention_n whereas_o his_o mention_v only_o of_o god_n

another_o rest_n to_o wit_n a_o spiritual_a rest_n prepare_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o heaven_n whereof_o that_o rest_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v as_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n 5_o which_o god_n give_v they_o to_o understand_v when_o he_o cause_v moses_n to_o observe_v in_o the_o description_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o creation_n that_o 5_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n conformable_o whereunto_o he_o command_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o to_o rest_v on_o it_o as_o he_o have_v rest_v that_o it_o may_v be_v unto_o they_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o may_v grant_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v also_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n ordain_v to_o man_n and_o exclude_v it_o out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o threat_n but_o indirect_o and_o by_o consequence_n only_o for_o as_o much_o as_o affirm_v that_o even_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n

we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o who_o time_n the_o christian_n be_v far_o more_o beholden_a to_o god_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v since_o god_n have_v discharge_v

that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o foresay_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v obligatory_a for_o ever_o for_o to_o dedicate_v to_o god_n precise_o a_o seven_o day_n after_o we_o have_v bestow_v six_o

its_o own_o nature_n special_o to_o christian_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o consecrate_v to_o god_n one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o or_o of_o four_o for_o the_o more_o we_o hallow_v to_o god_n the_o more_o do_v we_o that_o which_o be_v just_a equitable_a and_o well_o order_v and_o the_o more_o do_v we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o be_v natural_o bind_v unto_o towards_o he_o if_o
