the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o begin_v in_o the_o evening_n because_o in_o the_o first_o of_o gen._n it_o be_v say_v fix_v several_a time_n the_o evening_n and_o the_o morning_n make_v the_o first_o day_n and_o so_o the_o second_o and_o three_o etc._n etc._n ans._n first_o in_o that_o text_n when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o evening_n and_o the_o morning_n make_v such_o &_o such_o day_n by_o the_o evening_n be_v understand_v the_o night_n and_o by_o the_o morning_n the_o day_n and_o the_o evening_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o day_n and_o the_o morning_n the_o end_n of_o the_o night_n this_o exposition_n be_v ancient_a and_o yet_o in_o scripture_n we_o find_v not_o one_o place_n where_o the_o evening_n be_v put_v for_o the_o night_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o collection_n from_o that_o place_n be_v of_o no_o force_n for_o thus_o the_o reason_n must_v needs_o be_v frame_v that_o which_o god_n do_v in_o appoint_v of_o day_n the_o same_o must_v we_o do_v in_o use_v of_o they_o but_o god_n in_o appoint_v of_o day_n begin_v the_o day_n at_o the_o evening_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o consequent_a be_v false_a for_o the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o constitution_n of_o time_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o use_n of_o time_n constitute_v and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o thing_n in_o do_v as_o there_o be_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o be_v and_o use_n three_o this_o do_v not_o bind_v the_o jew_n for_o they_o in_o all_o likelihood_n begin_v their_o sabboth_n in_o the_o morning_n indeed_o their_o solemn_a feast_n as_o the_o passeover_n and_o such_o like_a begin_v and_o be_v keep_v from_o evening_n to_o morning_n as_o we_o may_v read_v levit._n 23._o 5._o but_o their_o ordinary_a sabbath_n be_v keep_v from_o morning_n to_o morning_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n matthew_n call_v the_o dawn_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o jew_n matth._n 28._o 1._o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o i_o take_v it_o that_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o contrary_n it_o be_v object_v that_o moses_n say_v levit._n 23._o 32._o from_o even_o to_o even_o shall_v you_o celebrate_v your_o sabbath_n ans._n the_o word_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o feast_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v the_o ten_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n which_o be_v solemnize_v and_o keep_v from_o even_o to_o even_o and_o it_o be_v call_v a_o sabbath_n because_o it_o be_v by_o special_a commandment_n appoint_v to_o be_v keep_v as_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o in_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a by_o the_o jew_n in_o humble_v themselves_o and_o offer_v sacrifice_n vers_fw-la 27._o second_o because_o upon_o that_o day_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o do_v any_o servile_a work_n upon_o pain_n of_o death_n vers_fw-la 25._o 30._o again_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o joseph_n of_o arimathea_n can_v not_o embaulme_n christ_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v the_o evening_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n there_o mean_v concur_v with_o the_o day_n of_o their_o passover_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o their_o sabbath_n begin_v in_o the_o evening_n by_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o three_o question_n be_v plain_a to_o wit_n that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o begin_v at_o the_o morning_n and_o so_o to_o continue_v to_o the_o next_o morning_n and_o not_o as_o some_o suppose_v to_o begin_v at_o the_o even_o and_o continue_v till_o the_o next_o even_o and_o thus_o much_o touch_v the_o special_a question_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o also_o general_o concern_v those_o that_o belong_v to_o man_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o relation_n to_o god_n the_o end_n of_o the_o second_o book_n the_o three_o book_n of_o the_o case_n of_o conscience_n concern_v man_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o relation_n to_o man_n chap._n i._n of_o the_o nature_n and_o difference_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o order_n of_o the_o question_n thus_o far_o we_o be_v proceed_v in_o the_o handle_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o question_n whereof_o some_o do_v concern_v man_n as_o he_o be_v consider_v apart_o by_o himself_o without_o respect_n unto_o another_o some_o again_o concern_v man_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o the_o first_o relation_n namely_o to_o god_n now_o we_o come_v by_o order_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o and_o last_o head_n of_o case_n propound_v by_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o the_o second_o relation_n to_o man_n and_o under_o this_o head_n be_v comprehend_v all_o those_o question_n of_o conscience_n that_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o which_o do_v belong_v unto_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o some_o society_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o family_n the_o church_n or_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o the_o better_a and_o more_o orderly_a proceed_n in_o this_o discourse_n some_o convenient_a subject_n or_o matter_n be_v to_o be_v propound_v whereunto_o all_o the_o question_n that_o follow_v may_v fit_o be_v reduce_v now_o of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o convenient_a subject_n in_o this_o kind_n be_v virtue_n and_o therefore_o according_a the_o difference_n of_o virtue_n we_o will_v distinguish_v the_o question_n into_o three_o several_a sort_n but_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o particular_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o speak_v somewhat_o general_o of_o virtue_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o may_v give_v light_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o follow_v touch_v virtue_n two_o thing_n be_v brief_o to_o be_v remember_v first_o what_o it_o be_v and_o then_o what_o be_v the_o distinct_a kind_n thereof_o virtue_n be_v a_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o a_o part_n of_o regeneration_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v make_v apt_a to_o live_v well_o i_o call_v it_o first_o a_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n because_o in_o whomesoever_o it_o be_v whether_o in_o christian_n or_o in_o heathen_a man_n it_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o gift_n that_o flow_v immediate_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o this_o i_o put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o confute_v the_o receive_a error_n of_o the_o wise_a heathen_a philosopher_n which_o call_v virtue_n a_o habit_n of_o the_o mind_n obtain_v and_o confirm_v by_o custom_n use_n and_o practice_v second_o i_o call_v it_o such_o a_o gift_n as_o be_v also_o a_o part_n of_o regeneration_n and_o this_o be_v add_v for_o two_o cause_n first_o that_o we_o may_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o christian_a and_o heathen_a virtue_n for_o howbeit_o the_o same_o virtue_n in_o kind_n and_o name_n be_v and_o may_v be_v find_v both_o in_o they_o that_o profess_v christ_n and_o those_o also_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a god_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o they_o after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n for_o in_o heathen_a man_n they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o not_o part_n of_o regeneration_n and_o new_a birth_n but_o in_o those_o that_o be_v true_a christian_n they_o be_v indeed_o not_o only_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n but_o also_o essential_a part_n of_o regeneration_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a yet_o conceive_v this_o difference_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o man_n be_v twofold_a restrain_v and_o renew_v restrain_v be_v that_o which_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v the_o corruption_n of_o man_n heart_n from_o break_v forth_o into_o outward_a action_n for_o the_o common_a good_a that_o society_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o one_o man_n may_v live_v orderly_o with_o another_o renew_v grace_n be_v that_o which_o do_v not_o only_o restrain_v the_o corruption_n but_o also_o mortify_v sin_n and_o renew_v the_o heart_n daily_o more_o &_o more_o the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v incident_a to_o heathen_a man_n &_o the_o virtue_n which_o they_o have_v serve_v only_o to_o repress_v the_o act_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o outward_a action_n but_o in_o christian_n they_o be_v grace_n of_o god_n not_o only_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v the_o affection_n but_o renew_v the_o heart_n and_o mortifyin_o all_o corruption_n and_o though_o those_o virtue_n of_o the_o heathen_a be_v grace_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v but_o general_a and_o common_a to_o all_o whereas_o the_o virtue_n of_o christian_n be_v special_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n sanctify_v and_o renew_v the_o mind_n will_n and_o affection_n for_o example_n chastity_n in_o joseph_n be_v a_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n renew_v his_o heart_n but_o chastity_n in_o xevoerates_n be_v a_o common_a grace_n serve_v only_o to_o curb_v and_o restrain_v the_o corruption_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o justice_n of_o abraham_n a_o christian_a and_o of_o aristides_n a_o

this_o be_v ceremonial_a and_o temporary_a that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a sign_n between_o god_n and_o his_o people_n of_o the_o blessing_n that_o be_v propound_v &_o promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n exod._n 31._o 13._o and_o these_o be_v principal_o two_o first_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o their_o sanctification_n to_o teach_v they_o that_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v apart_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n so_o he_o do_v and_o will_v sanctify_v the_o observer_n thereof_o unto_o himself_o by_o forgive_a their_o sin_n and_o receive_v they_o into_o his_o favour_n in_o and_o by_o the_o messiah_n to_o come_v second_o it_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o figure_n and_o signify_v the_o everlasting_a rest_n of_o god_n child_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n of_o this_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v that_o from_o month_n to_o month_n and_o from_o sabbath_n to_o sabbath_n all_o flesh_n shall_v come_v to_o worship_n before_o god_n esa._n 66._o 23._o and_o the_o author_n

it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v upon_o a_o set_a day_n namely_o the_o seven_o from_o the_o creation_n and_o that_o with_o set_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n so_o say_v moses_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o

thereof_o numb_a 28._o 9_o 10._o iv._o this_o also_o be_v ceremonial_a that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o remembrance_n of_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n remember_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o servant_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n bring_v thou_o out_o thence_o by_o a_o mighty_a hand_n and_o stretch_v out_o arm_n therefore_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n command_v thou_o to_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n deut._n 5._o 15._o sect._n 2._o now_o as_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n temporary_a and_o ceremonial_a in_o the_o sabbath_n so_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o it_o perpetual_a &_o moral_a and_o those_o i_o take_v it_o be_v three_o especial_o first_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n in_o which_o man_n and_o beast_n may_v be_v refresh_v after_o labour_n second_o that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v set_z apart_z to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n these_o two_o first_o be_v therefore_o moral_a because_o they_o be_v express_o mention_v in_o the_o commandment_n touch_v the_o sabbath_n three_o that_o a_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v to_o a_o holy_a rest_n and_o that_o this_o holy_a rest_n shall_v be_v observe_v in_o a_o seven_o day_n i_o say_v not_o in_o this_o or_o that_o seven_o day_n but_o in_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o now_o that_o this_o also_o be_v moral_a it_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v institute_v and_o appoint_v by_o god_n in_o paradise_n before_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n and_o the_o reveal_n of_o christ_n yea_o even_o then_o when_o there_o be_v one_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n this_o be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o gen._n 2._o as_o also_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o a_o sabbath_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n can_v be_v a_o ceremony_n simple_o consider_v the_o ordination_n thereof_o be_v in_o time_n long_o before_o all_o ceremony_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v make_v a_o ceremony_n afterward_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v naught_o for_o matrimony_n be_v ordain_v in_o paradise_n and_o afterward_o make_v ceremonial_a to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o matrimony_n be_v perpetual_a and_o so_o be_v a_o sabbath_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n if_o it_o be_v again_o **_o allege_v that_o god_n do_v then_o keep_v a_o seven_o day_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o afterward_o enjoin_v it_o to_o man_n by_o his_o commandment_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o paradise_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n blessing_n and_o sanctification_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v that_o god_n do_v both_o bless_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o himself_o because_o he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o hallow_v it_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n by_o command_v it_o to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o keep_v in_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n second_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v general_a and_o the_o equity_n of_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o they_o have_v this_o end_n to_o urge_v the_o rest_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n let_v they_o be_v consider_v in_o particular_a the_o first_o in_o these_o word_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v which_o some_o take_v to_o be_v a_o permission_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v say_v thus_o if_o i_o permit_v thou_o six_o thou_o shall_v allow_v i_o a_o seven_o but_o they_o may_v be_v also_o take_v for_o a_o commandment_n injoin_v labour_n in_o the_o six_o day_n first_o because_o they_o be_v propound_v in_o command_a term_n second_o because_o they_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o curse_n lay_v upon_o adam_n thou_o shall_v eat_v thy_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o face_n namely_o in_o the_o six_o day_n and_o three_o because_o idleness_n the_o spoil_n of_o mankind_n be_v there_o forbid_a this_o be_v so_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o seven_o day_n not_o only_o of_o rest_n to_o ease_v they_o that_o labour_n in_o the_o six_o day_n but_o also_o of_o a_o holy_a rest_n that_o god_n may_v be_v worship_v in_o it_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o god_n example_n for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n etc._n etc._n that_o which_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v do_v in_o person_n the_o same_o must_v man_n do_v by_o his_o commandment_n but_o the_o lord_n himself_o in_o six_o day_n labour_v and_o rest_v the_o seven_o therefore_o man_n must_v do_v the_o same_o this_o reason_n make_v by_o god_n to_o the_o creature_n must_v stand_v in_o force_n till_o he_o reverse_v it_o which_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o do_v nor_o do_v if_o then_o these_o reason_n do_v not_o only_o enforce_v a_o rest_n and_o a_o holy_a rest_n but_o a_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o this_o lest_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o consequent_o the_o church_n can_v not_o alter_v it_o from_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o they_o can_v not_o alter_v the_o substance_n of_o that_o commandment_n which_o be_v eternal_a ii_o reason_n the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o all_o likelihood_n be_v tie_v to_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o as_o i_o take_v it_o by_o christ_n himself_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v these_o i._o the_o sabbath_n day_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n apoc._n 1._o 10._o now_o i_o suppose_v for_o in_o these_o point_n still_o we_o must_v go_v by_o likelihood_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o the_o last_o supper_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n supper_n for_o two_o cause_n first_o as_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n after_o the_o creation_n so_o christ_n have_v end_v the_o work_n of_o the_o new_a creation_n rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o work_n of_o redemption_n second_o as_o christ_n do_v substitute_v the_o last_o supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passover_o so_o he_o substitute_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o room_n of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o day_n set_v apart_o to_o his_o own_o worship_n ii_o the_o
