that_o go_v before_o and_o the_o seven_o which_o follow_v be_v whole_o natural_a and_o bind_v not_o only_a christian_n but_o jew_n and_o gentile_n also_o but_o this_o three_o be_v in_o part_n natural_a and_o bind_v all_o man_n &_o in_o part_n be_v not_o natural_a neither_o bind_v it_o all_o for_o that_o to_o sanctify_v the_o feast_n that_o be_v to_o have_v some_o day_n for_o holy_a &_o to_o be_v spend_v in_o holy_a work_n &_o chief_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v a_o natural_a precept_n for_o that_o natural_a reason_n teach_v it_o to_o all_o man_n and_o so_o in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n some_o day_n be_v observe_v festival_n but_o the_o ordain_v of_o such_o a_o day_n that_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v one_o rather_o than_o a_o other_o be_v not_o natural_a and_o therefore_o with_o the_o jew_n the_o principal_a feast_n be_v saturdaye_v with_o christian_n it_o be_v the_o sunday_n s_o for_o what_o cause_n do_v god_n command_v that_o the_o jew_n shall_v observe_v the_o saturday_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o day_n m_o there_o be_v two_o principal_a reason_n the_o first_o be_v because_o on_o the_o saturday_n god_n finish_v the_o frame_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v that_o day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v in_o memory_n of_o this_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n which_o serve_v also_o to_o convince_v the_o error_n of_o certain_a philosopher_n who_o say_v that_o the_o world_n have_v always_o be_v for_o that_o celebrate_v the_o feast_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o world_n have_v a_o beginning_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o man_n have_v cause_v his_o servant_n and_o handmaiden_n and_o his_o cattle_n to_o work_v and_o weary_v themselves_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n god_n will_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v the_o saturday_n the_o same_o servant_n &_o maid_n yea_o his_o oxealso_n and_o ass_n shall_v repose_v and_o that_o master_n shall_v learn_v to_o be_v pitiful_a towards_o their_o laborer_n and_o not_o to_o be_v cruel_a but_o to_o have_v compassion_n also_o of_o their_o very_a bruit_n beast_n s_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o christian_n do_v not_o observe_v the_o saturday_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v see_v there_o be_v so_o good_a reason_n to_o observe_v it_o m_o with_o great_a reason_n god_n have_v change_v the_o saturday_n into_o the_o sunday_n as_o he_o have_v also_o do_v circumcision_n into_o baptism_n the_o paschal_n lamb_n into_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n &_o all_o other_o good_a thing_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n into_o better_a thing_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n wherefore_o if_o the_o saturday_n be_v celebrate_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n because_o in_o that_o day_n the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v end_v with_o more_o reason_n the_o sunday_n be_v celebrate_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o same_o creation_n for_o that_o in_o the_o sunday_n the_o say_a creation_n be_v begin_v and_o if_o the_o jew_n do_v give_v to_o god_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n than_o christian_n do_v better_a who_o geve_v he_o the_o first_o moreover_o upon_o the_o sunday_n memory_n be_v make_v of_o three_o principal_a benefit_n of_o our_o redemption_n for_o christ_n be_v bear_v on_o the_o sunday_n on_o sunday_n he_o rise_v and_o upon_o sunday_n he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o his_o apostle_n final_o the_o saturday_n do_v signify_v the_o repose_n which_o the_o holy_a soul_n have_v in_o limbo_n the_o sunday_n signify_v the_o glory_n which_o the_o holy_a soul_n have_v now_o and_o the_o body_n shall_v have_v hereafter_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n do_v celebrate_v the_o saturday_n because_o when_o they_o die_v they_o go_v to_o repose_v in_o limbo_n but_o christian_n celebrate_v the_o sunday_n because_o when_o they_o die_v they_o go_v unto_o the_o glorious_a bliss_n of_o heaven_n which_o yet_o be_v understand_v if_o they_o have_v do_v well_o according_a to_o the_o holy_a law_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o s_o be_v it_o necessary_a to_o observe_v other_o feast_n beside_o the_o sunday_n m_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v many_o other_o feast_n as_o well_o of_o our_o lord_n as_o of_o our_o lady_n and_o of_o other_o saint_n to_o wit_n all_o those_o which_o be_v command_v by_o holy_a church_n but_o we_o have_v speak_v in_o particular_a of_o the_o sunday_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o often_o celebrare_v then_o any_o other_o as_o among_o the_o jew_n there_o be_v also_o many_o feaste●_n but_o the_o most_o ancient_a most_o frequent_a and_o the_o great_a of_o all_o be_v the_o sabbath_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n there_o be_v not_o express_v mention_n make_v of_o any_o but_o of_o the_o sabbaoth_n to_o which_o as_o we_o have_v say_v the_o sunday_n have_v succeed_v s_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v to_o observe_v the_o feast_n m_o two_o thing_n be_v necessary_a the_o first_o be_v to_o bstaine_v from_o servile_a work_n which_o be_v those_o that_o servant_n and_o artificer_n be_v accustom_v to_o do_v who_o labour_v most_o special_o with_o their_o body_n for_o those_o work_n in_o which_o the_o understanding_n do_v principal_o labour_n can_v be_v call_v servile_a though_o for_o help_v of_o the_o understanding_n the_o tongue_n the_o hand_n or_o any_o other_o corporal_a member_n be_v use_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o in_o the_o command_v feast_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o mass_n and_o albeit_o holy_a church_n bind_v we_o to_o no_o more_o yet_o be_v it_o convenient_a that_o we_o spend_v the_o whole_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n or_o the_o great_a part_n thereof_o in_o prayer_n and_o spiritual_a read_n in_o visit_v church_n in_o hear_v sermon_n and_o in_o do_v like_o holy_a exercise_n for_o this_o be_v the_o end_n for_o which_o feast_n be_v institute_v s_o if_o servile_a work_n may_v not_o be_v do_v on_o the_o festival_n day_n they_o bell_n may_v not_o be_v rongue_n the_o table_n may_v not_o be_v make_v ready_a &_o much_o less_o meat_n be_v dress_v for_o all_o these_o be_v servile_a work_n m_o the_o commandment_n of_o not_o do_v servile_a work_n be_v understand_v with_o two_o condition_n the_o first_o that_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o man_n life_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o dress_v meat_n to_o make_v ready_a the_o table_n and_o such_o like_a that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v the_o day_n before_o the_o second_o that_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n for_o which_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o ring_v the_o bell_n and_o to_o do_v other_o work_n in_o the_o church_n that_o can_v be_v do_v another_o day_n and_o beside_o these_o condition_n it_o be_v also_o lawful_a to_o do_v servile_a work_n upon_o the_o holy_a day_n when_o licence_n be_v grant_v by_o the_o prelate_n for_o reasonable_a cause_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n s_o the_o four_o commandment_n follow_v which_o be_v of_o honour_v our_o father_n and_o mother_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v wherefore_o the_o commandment_n of_o honour_v our_o father_n &_o mother_n be_v the_o first_o in_o the_o second_o table_n m_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n belong_v to_o our_o neighbour_n as_o those_o of_o the_o first_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o because_o among_o all_o neighbour_n our_o father_n and_o mother_n be_v most_o near_o to_o we_o to_o who_o we_o be_v most_o bind_v as_o of_o who_o we_o have_v our_o be_v and_o our_o life_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o temporal_a good_a thing_n therefore_o with_o great_a reason_n the_o second_o table_n begin_v with_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o father_n and_o mother_n s_o what_o be_v understand_v by_o this_o honour_n which_o be_v due_a to_o our_o father_n and_o mother_n m_o three_o thing_n be_v understand_v help_n obedience_n &_o reverence_n first_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o help_v &_o assist_v our_o father_n &_o mother_n in_o their_o necessity_n and_o this_o help_n in_o holy_a scripture_n be_v call_v honour_n and_o it_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o child_n have_v receive_v life_n of_o their_o father_n &_o mother_n shall_v procure_v to_o preserve_v unto_o they_o the_o same_o life_n further_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v our_o father_n &_o mother_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v in_o all_o thing_n in_o our_o lord_n that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o lord_n for_o that_o when_o our_o father_n or_o mother_n command_v we_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o we_o must_v according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n hate_v our_o father_n and_o mother_n that_o be_v not_o
rule_v the_o soul_n &_o heart_n of_o good_a christian_n give_v they_o spirit_n and_o grace_n to_o serve_v he_o willing_o &_o to_o seek_v his_o glory_n above_o all_o thing_n the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o other_o life_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o that_o then_o god_n will_v reign_v with_o all_o the_o saint_n over_o all_o thing_n create_v without_o any_o resistance_n for_o they_o all_o the_o force_n of_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o &_o also_o of_o all_o perverse_a man_n who_o shall_v be_v shut_v up_o in_o eternal_a prison_n of_o hell_n in_o that_o time_n shall_v death_n also_o be_v extinguish_v &_o corruption_n with_o all_o the_o tentation_n of_o the_o world_n &_o of_o the_o flesh_n which_o now_o trouble_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n so_o that_o shall_v be_v quiet_a &_o peaceable_a kingdom_n with_o secure_a possession_n of_o perfect_a &_o eternal_a felicity_n s_o which_o of_o these_o three_o kingdom_n ●s_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o petition_n m_o not_o of_o the_o first_o for_o that_o be_v not_o to_o come_v but_o be_v now_o come_v neither_o of_o the_o second_o for_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o first_o petition_n &_o be_v in_o a_o great_a part_n already_o come_v but_o here_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o three_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o be_v expect_v with_o great_a desire_n of_o all_o those_o that_o know_v the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n &_o so_o in_o this_o petition_n we_o demand_v our_o chief_a good_a and_o the_o perfect_a glory_n of_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n s_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o we_o desire_v may_v comequick_o shall_v begin_v after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o we_o desire_v &_o demand_v that_o this_o world_n shall_v speedy_o end_v &_o that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v come_v short_o m_o so_o it_o be_v for_o think_v the_o lover_n of_o the_o world_n can_v have_v no_o worse_o news_n then_o to_o hear_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n name_v yet_o the_o citizne_n of_o heaven_n who_o live_v now_o as_o pilgrim_n and_o banish_v man_n here_o below_o in_o earth_n have_v no_o other_o great_a desire_n where_o upon_o s._n augustin_n say_v that_o like_o as_o before_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n all_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o ancient_a law_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o first_o come_v of_o christ_n so_o now_o all_o the_o desire_n of_o holy_a man_n of_o the_o new_a law_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o second_o come_v of_o the_o same_o christ_n which_o will_v bring_v we_o perfect_a beatitude_n s_o let_v we_o pass_v unto_o the_o three_o petition_n what_o do_v those_o word_n signify_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n m_o in_o these_o word_n be_v demand_v grace_n to_o observe_v well_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o that_o the_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o man_n be_v demand_v in_o the_o second_o petition_n it_o be_v convenient_a that_o the_o principal_a mean_n to_o arrive_v unto_o that_o end_n shall_v be_v demand_v next_o after_o &_o this_o principal_a mean_n be_v the_o observe_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n as_o our_o lord_n have_v say_v if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o eternal_a life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n &_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o be_v not_o able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o keep_v all_o the_o commandment_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o ought_v therefore_o we_o demand_v of_o god_n that_o his_o will_v be_v do_v by_o we_o that_o be_v that_o he_o geve_v we_o grace_n to_o fulfil_v his_o will_n in_o obey_v whole_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n his_o holy_a commandment_n s_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o that_o beside_o the_o fulfil_n the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o observe_v the_o commandment_n we_o be_v bind_v also_o to_o conform_v our_o will_n with_o god_n will_v when_o he_o send_v we_o tribulation_n m_o we_o be_v bind_v at_o the_o jest_n not_o to_o murmur_n nor_o to_o grudge_v at_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n because_o all_o that_o he_o send_v or_o permit_v he_o do_v it_o to_o a_o good_a end_n to_o wit_n to_o give_v we_o occasion_n of_o great_a merit_n if_o we_o be_v good_a or_o else_o to_o purge_v we_o if_o we_o be_v bad_a s_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v add_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n m_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o endeavour_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o observe_v his_o holy_a

have_v be_v demand_v which_o be_v life_n itself_o for_o that_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o any_o one_o begin_n to_o live_v desire_v be_v food_n where_o with_o life_n be_v maintain_v but_o you_o have_v to_o understande_v that_o in_o this_o prayer_n spiritual_a bread_n be_v principal_o demand_v which_o be_v the_o meat_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o secondary_o corporal_a bread_n which_o be_v the_o

which_o as_o be_v say_v be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o corporal_a bread_n be_v understand_v all_o that_o be_v needful_a unto_o we_o to_o maintain_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n which_o

if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o doctrine_n we_o call_v it_o our_o bread_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v distribute_v by_o the_o true_a preacher_n unto_o the_o child_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n and_o not_o the_o strange_a bread_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o all_o heretic_n give_v unto_o their_o follower_n which_o be_v corrupt_a and_o pestiferous_a bread_n but_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o corporal_a bread_n we_o desire_n that_o god_n will_v give_v we_o our_o own_o bread_n and_o not_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o other_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v help_v we_o in_o just_a and_o lawful_a gain_n
