the_o lord_n day_n be_v institute_v and_o which_o in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o answer_n be_v first_o prove_v the_o sabbath_n must_v in_o reason_n surrender_v to_o it_o 3._o i_o show_v it_o from_o

kind_n he_o say_v of_o this_o there_o be_v as_o little_a reason_n as_o scripture_n but_o if_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n as_o scripture_n he_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v but_o he_o first_o take_v care_n to_o leave_v out_o the_o scripture_n and_o then_o to_o exclaim_v not_o one_o word_n of_o scripture_n well!_o what_o have_v he_o to_o say_v to_o that_o little_a reason_n that_o there_o be_v he_o say_v the_o sabbath_n do_v appertain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o be_v not_o a_o shadow_n only_o of_o a_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o a_o memory_n he_o will_v say_v a_o

what_o be_v past_a as_o not_o to_o be_v a_o shadow_n of_o somewhat_o to_o come_v let_v he_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n apply_v it_o heb._n 4._o 9_o 10._o but_o suppose_v that_o it_o be_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o it_o be_v and_o a_o shadow_n to_o the_o jew_n as_o he_o own_v then_o be_v both_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o day_n how_o can_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v abrogate_a as_o a_o shadow_n and_o not_o also_o as_o a_o memorial_n since_o the_o same_o day_n that_o be_v for_o the_o one_o be_v also_o for_o the_o other_o thus_o we_o find_v

to_o the_o jew_n upon_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n that_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o christian_n upon_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n which_o be_v accomplish_v and_o testify_v in_o his_o resurrection_n on_o that_o day_n clear_a proof_n the_o moral_a sabbath_n in_o the_o patriarchal_a church_n and_o the_o ceremonial_a in_o the_o

than_o what_o he_o here_o put_v upon_o the_o answerer_n and_o that_o be_v somewhat_o a_o worse_a charge_n than_o dulness_n when_o in_o spite_n of_o honesty_n he_o shall_v thus_o manifest_o pervert_v that_o which_o lie_v clear_a before_o he_o into_o ridiculous_a nonsense_n it_o be_v manifest_a he_o have_v here_o nothing_o to_o say_v unless_o he_o will_v say_v there_o be_v not_o as_o much_o reason_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o in_o memory_n of_o our_o redemption_n as_o there_o be_v for_o it_o in_o the_o creation_n or_o the_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n 2._o i_o particular_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o mark_n of_o divine_a institution_n set_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o name_n the_o lord_n day_n rev._n 1._o 10._o it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n apply_v to_o time_n place_n person_n and_o thing_n when_o set_v apart_o by_o divine_a institution_n to_o this_o he_o reply_v the_o question_n be_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o be_v in_o the_o revelation_n or_o be_v it_o only_o some_o peculiar_a day_n of_o the_o year_n as_o easter-day_n or_o good-friday_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o without_o a_o reason_n apply_v to_o a_o day_n then_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o day_n of_o the_o week_n have_v any_o

because_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v observe_v in_o apostolical_a time_n as_o i_o show_v from_o scripture_n but_o we_o be_v not_o certain_a of_o these_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o scripture_n that_o look_v that_o way_n and_o when_o st._n austin_n say_v of_o 118._o the_o anniversary_n observation_n of_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n passion_n resurrection_n ascension_n and_o the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n he_o add_v it_o be_v to_o be_v belive_v such_o thing_n so_o observe_v be_v command_v and_o appoint_v by_o the_o apostle_n or_o general_a council_n he_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v they_o be_v appoint_v by_o one_o or_o the_o other_o not_o be_v able_a to_o determine_v which_o but_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o general_n council_n till_o above_o 300_o year_n after_o christ_n 2._o easter-day_n which_o have_v the_o near_a pretence_n both_o in_o reason_n and_o antiquity_n can_v be_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o they_o be_v distinguish_v so_o st._n austin_n we_o say_v he_o solemn_o celebrate_v the_o 16._o lord_n day_n and_o easter_n and_o the_o eastern_a church_n particular_o that_o of_o ephesus_n where_o st._n john_n more_o especal_o be_v do_v observe_v easter_n according_a to_o the_o moon_n and_o not_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o so_o early_o as_o an._n 197._o when_o polycrates_n bishop_n of_o ephesus_n and_o a_o council_n of_o bishop_n concur_v with_o he_o write_v to_o 10._o victor_n bishop_n of_o rome_n who_o threaten_v to_o excommunicate_v they_o for_o it_o that_o they_o fear_v he_o not_o for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o obey_v god_n than_o man._n as_o for_o good-friday_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n that_o i_o believe_v be_v a_o nostrum_fw-la of_o our_o author_n as_o well_o as_o the_o question_n put_v by_o he_o be_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v on_o 2._o he_o answer_v i_o find_v forty_o text_n that_o call_v the_o day_n of_o general_a judgement_n or_o that_o of_o each_o man_n death_n the_o lord_n day_n but_o not_o one_o that_o mention_n sunday_n under_o that_o name_n what_o

little_a too_o much_o for_o the_o use_n he_o make_v of_o this_o observation_n be_v to_o show_v that_o that_o day_n whatever_o it_o be_v may_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n very_o well_o but_o yet_o i_o find_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o indeed_o the_o day_n of_o death_n be_v not_o as_o far_o as_o i_o remember_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o scripture_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a ordination_n so_o matth._n 24._o 36._o and_o act_n 17._o 31._o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n and_o be_v therefore_o a_o confirmation_n of_o what_o he_o
