be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o law_n and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o to_o be_v keep_v because_o the_o same_o lawmaker_n do_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o law_n command_v one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v be_v observe_v answ_n neither_o do_v we_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n urge_v the_o 1.2_o or_o 3._o command_v in_o particular_a as_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o table_n but_o they_o be_v frequent_o urge_v in_o the_o general_n as_o in_o rom._n 7.12_o ch._n 13.8_o 9_o 10._o and_o general_n comprehend_v particular_n and_o james_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o he_o prove_v it_o thus_o because_o he_o that_o say_v do_v not_o commit_v adultery_n say_v also_o do_v not_o kill_v now_o if_o thou_o commit_v no_o adultery_n yet_o if_o thou_o kill_v thou_o be_v become_v a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n the_o same_o argument_n may_v be_v draw_v for_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n he_o that_o say_v do_v not_o commit_v adultery_n say_v also_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n now_o if_o thou_o commit_v no_o adultery_n yet_o if_o thou_o break_v the_o sabbath_n thou_o be_v become_v a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n chap._n 2.10_o 11._o and_o paul_n say_v circumcision_n be_v nothing_o nor_o uncircumcision_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o

and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a and_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o this_o command_n in_o general_n nor_o in_o particular_a it_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o lay_v it_o by_o except_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o be_v forbid_v because_o it_o be_v so_o plain_o command_v by_o god_n explain_v by_o christ_n observe_v by_o his_o disciple_n both_o before_o and_o after_o his_o death_n as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o will_v further_o appear_v by_o and_o by_o obj._n we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o of_o the_o church_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n answ_n that_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o they_o do_v not_o keep_v it_o but_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n keep_v it_o though_o it_o be_v not_o plain_o express_v for_o they_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o very_a custom_n that_o paul_n be_v counsel_v

no_o doubt_n but_o they_o be_v very_o strict_a for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o if_o there_o be_v such_o offence_n take_v against_o paul_n for_o preach_v against_o circumcision_n and_o the_o custom_n we_o need_v not_o question_v but_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v preach_v against_o but_o we_o shall_v have_v hear_v a_o great_a noise_n of_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o
