to_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n the_o almighty_a have_v do_v many_o and_o maruailouse_a work_n in_o the_o world_n he_o

be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a or_o else_o those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n and_o holy_a exercise_n these_o must_v be_v

also_o but_o no_o man_n will_v make_v those_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n ceremonial_a &_o abolish_v therefore_o may_v no_o man_n make_v that_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o

the_o time_n be_v abolish_v there_o those_o duty_n usual_o perform_v in_o that_o time_n be_v abolisn_v also_o wherefore_o if_o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o time_n and_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o jewish_a

for_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o these_o word_n remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o how_o will_v the_o patroness_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n rage_n and_o storm_n to_o hear_v any_o

yet_o in_o a_o sense_n every_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n i_o desire_v they_o but_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n four_o come_v which_o mention_v the_o sabbath_n day_n like_a as_o

and_o uncortaine_a day_n but_o a_o certain_a and_o well_o know_v day_n not_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o this_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v before_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v prove_v it_o furrh_a because_o some_o think_v that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n may_v as_o well_o be_v apply_v unto_o sunday_n as_o to_o saturday_n and_o so_o the_o four_o comm_n may_v hold_v its_o morality_n in_o bind_v unto_o sunday_n and_o first_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o translator_n both_o new_a and_o old_a look_v into_o all_o our_o english_a bibles_n both_o old_a and_o new_o translate_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o four_o come_v but_o also_o constant_o in_o all_o other_o place_n of_o scriptute_fw-la where_o be_v any_o mention_n of_o this_o name_n sabbath_n day_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o translate_n it_o not_o a_o sabbath_n but_o the_o sabbath_n which_o show_v clear_o that_o how_o ever_o the_o word_n may_v be_v render_v a_o sabbath_n yet_o that_o translation_n be_v not_o the_o best_a and_o therefore_o they_o have_v reject_v it_o and_o have_v unanimous_o translate_v it_o the_o sabbath_n neither_o be_v this_o do_v by_o any_o that_o favour_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o by_o those_o who_o rather_o favour_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v have_v make_v some_o way_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o translation_n if_o it_o can_v have_v be_v 2._o the_o lord_n have_v in_o the_o very_o come_v itself_o limit_v the_o sabbath_n unto_o a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n and_o that_o 1._o by_o its_o proper_a name_n sabbath_n day_n which_o belong_v proper_o unto_o our_o saturday_n not_o indefinite_o and_o in_o common_a to_o any_o day_n as_o have_v be_v shown_n 2._o by_o decipher_v it_o out_o most_o plain_o to_o be_v the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o these_o word_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o uncertain_a which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v but_o well_o know_v to_o be_v saturday_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n 3._o it_o be_v that_o very_a day_n which_o must_v be_v sanctify_v by_o man_n which_o god_n himself_o sanctify_v and_o set_v we_o for_o a_o pattern_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o we_o have_v it_o in_o the_o reason_n assizm_v to_o the_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o now_o the_o day_n which_o god_n rest_v on_o and_o the_o day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a be_v a_o certain_a and_o know_a day_n see_v gen._n 2.3_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n not_o a_o seven_o day_n 3._o i_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o comm._n be_v a_o certain_a know_a day_n and_o not_o a_o uncertain_a day_n partly_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o moses_n exo._n 16.23_o where_o upon_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n v._o 22._o moses_n teld_v the_o people_n thus_o say_v to_o morrow_n be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a sabbath_n etc._n etc._n so_o then_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a know_a time_n and_o so_o certain_a and_o so_o know_v that_o moses_n can_v say_v of_o it_o the_o day_n before_o it_o come_v to_o morrow_n it_o shall_v be_v etc._n etc._n so_o much_o also_o may_v be_v collect_v out_o of_o luk._n 13.14_o and_o act._n 13.42.44_o final_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o divine_n who_o affirm_v that_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n which_o they_o keep_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v until_o christ_n come_v as_o else_o where_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v more_o large_o now_o if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o by_o the_o

into_o the_o four_o come_v you_o have_v see_v it_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o thowsand_n of_o year_n until_o christ_n and_o that_o by_o the_o name_n

his_o four_o come_v how_o dangerous_a then_o be_v the_o case_n of_o such_o minister_n as_o have_v by_o their_o vain_a distinctiones_fw-la and_o fond_a objection_n not_o only_o abolish_v the_o lord_n

and_o that_o partly_o from_o their_o distinction_n and_o partly_o from_o their_o objection_n first_o for_o their_o distinction_n they_o do_v distinguish_v of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o time_n now_o for_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n these_o be_v jewish_a out_o they_o ceremonial_a and_o

it_o be_v a_o limb_n of_o their_o own_o distinction_n for_o they_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n that_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n command_v to_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o by_o their_o abolish_n of_o that_o very_a day_n and_o time_n which_o the_o jew_n keep_v to_o wit_n that_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v abolish_v

then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o evident_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n you_o see_v one_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o birth_n day_n and_o marriage_n day_n because_o on_o those_o day_n they_o be_v bear_v &_o marry_v those_o jew_n ester_n 9_o keep_v the_o day_n of_o purim_n because_o of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o christ_n passion_n day_n resurrection_n day_n or_o ascension_n day_n be_v there_o not_o some_o reason_n even_o in_o thes_n for_o one_o day_n above_o all_o other_o even_o so_o be_v there_o not_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v &_o rest_v on_o above_o all_o other_o since_o that_o god_n solemnize_v it_o &_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o do_v therefore_o bless_v it_o &_o

will_v further_o appear_v if_o you_o do_v but_o take_v a_o suruâ—y_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o minister_n in_o the_o pulpit_n &_o of_o their_o writing_n in_o book_n for_o of_o all_o the_o argument_n

further_n our_o saviour_n show_v wherein_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v have_v every_o jot_n &_o title_n of_o the_o law_n keep_v and_o this_o be_v two_o way_n the_o one_o by_o doctrine_n

of_o christ_n to_o have_v every_o title_n of_o the_o la_o not_o only_o observe_v &_o practise_v but_o also_o he_o will_v have_v every_o title_n of_o it_o teach_v unto_o the_o people_n &_o urge_v &_o press_v upon_o they_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n because_o the_o bare_a doctrine_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v forceless_a it_o many_o man_n without_o his_o practice_n lest_o they_o shall_v say_v he_o lay_v heavy_a burden_n upon_o other_o man_n but_o himself_o will_v not_o touch_v they_o with_o one_o of_o his_o finger_n therefore_o christ_n join_v practice_v to_o doctrine_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v observe_v &_o teach_v etc._n etc._n furthermore_o we_o be_v in_o special_a manner_n to_o note_n unto_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n these_o word_n be_v direct_v not_o unto_o lay_v man_n as_o they_o call_v they_o but_o unto_o the_o clergy_n unto_o minister_n in_o special_a as_o we_o may_v understand_v by_o the_o word_n teach_v man_n so_o so_o then_o this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n it_o be_v direct_v unto_o the_o ministry_n &_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n to_o they_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v both_o teach_v to_o the_o people_n and_o also_o practice_v before_o they_o unto_o the_o

because_o minister_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n some_o though_o but_o a_o small_a some_o will_v teach_v and_o practice_v every_o jot_n &_o title_n of_o the_o law_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o power_n

for_o they_o make_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o sabbath_n day_n and_o lord_n day_n but_o take_v they_o for_o the_o same_o when_o as_o sabbath_n day_n be_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o lord_n day_n

to_o be_v note_v because_o such_o a_o mistake_n of_o one_o day_n for_o a_o other_o in_o a_o bond_n may_v forfeit_v your_o bond_n as_o in_o case_n through_o a_o mistake_n you_o carry_v your_o money_n

more_o so_o add_v these_o together_o &_o they_o travail_v that_o day_n fiftene_o mile_n it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o these_o spend_v less_o time_n than_o all_o the_o whole_a after_o noon_n of_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n in_o travail_v for_o two_o mile_n a_o hour_n be_v a_o ordinary_a tranailers_n pace_n so_o that_o fiftene_o mile_n cost_n they_o near_o 8._o hour_n work_n now_o can_v it_o

this_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n at_o jerusalem_n these_o two_o be_v two_o of_o christ_n disciple_n &_o follower_n wherefore_o they_o will_v have_v lay_v a_o side_n all_o work_n that_o they_o

he_o as_o he_o follow_v christ_n 1._o cor._n 11.1_o now_o sure_a i_o be_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n travail_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o if_o therein_o they_o follow_v not_o christ_n yet_o they_o go_v together_o with_o he_o which_o be_v as_o good_a for_o both_o christ_n and_o they_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o emmaus_n why_o then_o may_v not_o we_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n also_o may_v we_o not_o imitate_v our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o must_v we_o make_v more_o conscience_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n than_o christ_n own_o disciple_n do_v who_o be_v teach_v by_o christ_n himself_o what_o needless_a and_o nice_a strictness_n be_v our_o time_n fall_v into_o our_o church_n make_v conscience_n where_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n who_o enjoy_v christ_n corporal_a presence_n make_v none_o furthermore_o that_o we_o may_v break_v the_o back_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n constancy_n i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o first_o and_o most_o famous_a lord_n day_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n then_o live_v with_o christ_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n christ_n and_o his_o church_n do_v not_o assemble_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o it_o be_v past_a or_o never_o end_v joh._n 20.19_o their_o first_o meeting_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o their_o second_o meeting_n be_v 8._o day_n after_o joh._n 20.26_o and_o their_o three_o when_o they_o go_v to_o fish_v joh._n 21.1.14_o now_o assembly_n &_o congregation_n be_v sabbath_n duty_n levit._n 23.2.3_o wherefore_o since_o the_o minister_n &_o people_n christ_n &_o his_o disciple_n meet_v not_o all_o the_o day_n long_o to_o solemnize_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n until_o evening_n &_o the_o day_n be_v now_o spend_v &_o pass_v therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o they_o can_v not_o assemble_v soon_o in_o the_o day_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n joh._n 20.19_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v more_o likely_a they_o dare_v not_o stir_v abroad_o all_o day_n long_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n &_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o jew_n therefore_o they_o keep_v close_o all_o the_o day_n long_o together_o in_o the_o house_n and_o so_o they_o be_v assemble_v all_o the_o day_n but_o like_o sheep_n without_o their_o shepherd_n 2._o my_o second_o argument_n wherewith_o i_o prove_v it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v because_o they_o do_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o this_o purpose_n see_v mark_n 16.11.9_o where_o mention_n

and_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v appear_v to_o she_o they_o beleened_a it_o not_o again_o see_v mark_n 16.13_o where_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o travail_v in_o to_o the_o country_n &_o how_o christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o also_o and_o the_o text_n say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o go_v and_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o remnant_n neither_o

which_o tell_v these_o thing_n unto_o the_o apostle_n but_o their_o word_n say_v the_o text_n seem_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o feign_a thing_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o luk._n 24.10.11_o so_o by_o all_o these_o testimony_n you_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o resurrection_n through_o unbelief_n not_o the_o eleven_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v believe_v it_o now_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o how_o these_o apostle_n with_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o disciple_n can_v sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n in_o

they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o mourn_v and_o weep_v still_o mark_n 16.10_o and_o that_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emmaus_n

24.29_o bewray_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n resurrection_n how_o then_o i_o marvel_v can_v they_o keep_v that_o lord_n day_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n in_o a_o

it_o be_v suppose_v that_o christ_n touch_v the_o redemption_n do_v imitate_v god_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n thereof_o well_o let_v we_o see_v how_o like_a or_o rather_o unlike_a christ_n be_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n at_o the_o creation_n god_n choose_v the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v but_o

of_o the_o seven_o day_n take_v from_o his_o own_o example_n because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o because_o he_o bless_a &_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n never_o

and_o week_n by_o week_n but_o also_o i_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o the_o better_a scaning_n of_o this_o point_n i_o will_v

find_v a_o commandment_n for_o it_o allege_v by_o they_o out_o of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a thing_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o christ_n in_o the_o next_o place_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o where_o christ_n leave_v any_o commandment_n for_o it_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o his_o apostle_n here_o they_o be_v at_o a_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la they_o can_v find_v no_o come_v for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n no_o nor_o any_o exhortation_n to_o keep_v it_o nor_o promise_v or_o threaten_v to_o those_o who_o keep_v or_o profane_v it_o now_o this_o at_o the_o first_o entrance_n do_v breed_v a_o shrewd_a suspicion_n that_o this_o new_a

for_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n if_o ever_o he_o have_v mean_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o for_o the_o apostle_n some_o fancy_n that_o christ_n leave_v a_o commandment_n

choose_v the_o sunday_n sabbath_n hence_o this_o one_o note_n will_v be_v observe_v that_o since_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o patroness_n thereof_o must_v fetch_v all_o their_o ground_n for_o it_o by_o reason_n collection_n &_o consequence_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o how_o feeble_a a_o thing_n man_n blind_a reason_n be_v who_o know_v not_o that_o know_v himself_o how_o liable_a be_v we_o to_o mistake_v yea_o how_o subject_a to_o fallacy_n &_o to_o be_v deceive_v thereby_o be_v the_o best_a logiceans_n especial_o in_o

the_o foundation_n of_o our_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n have_v but_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o man_n blind_a &_o shallow_a reason_n but_o here_o unto_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o reply_v that_o

it_o shall_v be_v compare_v &_o equal_v with_o the_o never_o err_a word_n of_o god_n 2._o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o necessary_a consequence_n be_v very_a sound_n indeed_o but_o then_o the_o difficulty_n be_v to_o know_v when_o a_o consequence_n be_v necessary_o true_a and_o when_o not_o for_o many_o man_n take_v their_o consequence_n to_o be_v necessary_o true_a which_o be_v but_o

much_o for_o consequence_n and_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n there_o be_v no_o man_n use_v necessary_a consequence_n less_o than_o they_o do_v in_o somuch_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o question_v it_o that_o they_o talk_v beyond_o their_o skill_n when_o they_o talk_v so_o before_o the_o people_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n for_o if_o they_o know_v what_o they_o say_v when_o they_o so_o speak_v we_o shall_v sinde_v they_o use_v this_o necessary_a consequence_n in_o their_o disputation_n and_o argument_n frame_v by_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o they_o talk_v so_o of_o necessary_a consequence_n thereby_o insinuate_v unto_o common_a people_n that_o they_o have_v never_o err_v necessary_a consequence_n for_o their_o lord_n day_n sahbath_n but_o here_o i_o challenge_v they_o any_o of_o they_o all_o to_o show_v i_o but_o one_o argument_n out_o of_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n which_o stand_v by_o force_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n which_o if_o they_o can_v not_o do_v as_o i_o know_v well_o they_o can_v do_v it_o then_o be_v they_o but_o ungodly_a bragadocean_n &_o proud_a boaster_n to_o prattle_v of_o necessary_a consequence_n as_o if_o forsooth_o they_o mean_v it_o to_o prove_v all_o they_o say_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o it_o they_o flinch_v give_v in_o and_o do_v nothing_o less_o this_o be_v but_o one_o of_o their_o trick_n to_o delude_v the_o people_n withal_o because_o we_o be_v upon_o

of_o necessity_n be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n ergo_fw-la every_o lord_n day_n after_o must_v necessary_o be_v a_o sabbath_n 3._o the_o holy_a ghost_n

time_n i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o year_n after_o paul_n preach_v a_o sermon_n too_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n 5._o there_o be_v a_o collection_n for_o the_o poor_a on_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n a_o poor_a consequence_n 6._o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o

in_o a_o objection_n say_v they_o if_o you_o must_v have_v a_o command_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n show_v we_o you_o then_o where_o we_o have_v a_o come_v for_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n 1._o i_o

lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o 2._o if_o you_o ask_v i_o where_o we_o have_v any_o come_v to_o baptize_v infant_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o never_o read_v of_o any_o yet_o and_o therefore_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n at_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n to_o baptise_v when_o infant_n or_o of_o ripe_a year_n if_o therefore_o you_o can_v show_v a_o

than_o i_o then_o be_v your_o lord_n day_n but_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o at_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n as_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o what_o be_v not_o command_v nor_o forbid_v that_o be_v indifferent_a so_o then_o as_o the_o church_n may_v baptise_v one_o soon_o or_o late_a so_o the_o church_n may_v keep_v your_o lord_n day_n and_o they_o may_v refuse_v to_o keep_v it_o if_o they_o please_v and_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o honour_n that_o you_o can_v raise_v your_o lord_n day_n to_o that_o it_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n so_o as_o the_o church_n may_v rest_v upon_o it_o or_o work_n upon_o it_o keep_v it_o or_o refuse_v to_o keep_v it_o at_o her_o pleasure_n for_o a_o command_v thing_n or_o day_n it_o be_v not_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n sect_n iv_o thus_o we_o have_v show_v that_o of_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o bring_v for_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o have_v never_o a_o commandment_n for_o it_o

their_o reason_n for_o it_o or_o i_o against_o it_o be_v the_o more_o clear_a and_o have_v better_a force_n of_o prove_v my_o first_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n

thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n exod._n 20.9_o and_o the_o first_o of_o these_o 6_o day_n be_v the_o day_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o

command_v we_o to_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n behold_v whither_o these_o man_n be_v not_o fit_a expounder_n of_o scripture_n when_o they_o be_v so_o ignorant_a therein_o as_o they_o make_v not_o only_o one_o scripture_n contradict_v a_o other_o scripture_n but_o than_o the_o which_o be_v nothing_o more_o absurd_a they_o make_v one_o and_o the_o same_o scripture_n to_o contradict_v itself_o for_o they_o make_v the_o four_o come_v to_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o work_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o it_o say_v the_o quite_o contrary_a six_o day_n thou_o shall_v work_v of_o which_o 6_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v one_o may_v not_o i_o true_o say_v of_o these_o minister_n who_o thus_o abuse_n god_n law_n in_o expound_v it_o as_o paul_n say_v of_o some_o that_o they_o will_v be_v doctor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o understand_v not_o what_o they_o speak_v neither_o whereof_o they_o affirm_v 1._o tim._n 1.7_o my_o second_o argument_n against_o they_o be_v this_o that_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o every_o seven_o day_n but_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n for_o in_o christ_n time_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n it_o be_v not_o keep_v constant_o and_o weekly_o but_o once_o in_o a_o year_n or_o the_o like_a as_o have_v be_v show_v therefore_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v my_o three_o argument_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v because_o the_o time_n the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n as_o they_o cale_fw-la it_z in_o the_o four_o comm._n be_v abolish_v as_o themselves_o say_v &_o teach_v for_o they_o teach_v that_o by_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n rom._n 14.5_o gal._n 4.10_o and_o colos_n 2.16.17_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o four_o com._n for_o time_n for_o the_o new_a sabbath_n or_o lord_n day_n ask_v they_o by_o what_o precept_n this_o time_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v &_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o by_o the_o four_o come_v so_o that_o they_o will_v fetch_v a_o time_n out_o of_o the_o four_o comm._n and_o yet_o they_o say_v this_o time_n be_v abolish_v what_o contradict_v folly_n be_v this_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v two_o day_n and_o two_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o 8_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v their_o do_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o foolish_a gardener_n who_o have_v but_o one_o bed_n of_o time_n in_o his_o garden_n first_o he_o will_v cut_v it_o or_o root_v it_o all_o up_o and_o then_o he_o will_v make_v all_o man_n believe_v that_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o can_v fetch_v as_o much_o time_n out_o of_o that_o bed_n as_o he_o can_v do_v before_o it_o be_v root_v up_o of_o such_o pulpit_n gardiner_n we_o have_v too_o many_o they_o can_v take_v out_o of_o the_o com._n what_o they_o please_v
&_o they_o can_v put_v into_o it_o again_o what_o they_o please_v but_o the_o great_a riddle_n be_v behind_o how_o can_v a_o man_n take_v a_o thing_n away_o and_o yet_o leave_v it_o there_o still_o or_o how_o can_v a_o man_n say_v a_o thing_n be_v ceremonial_a &_o yet_o make_v it_o moral_a abolish_v by_o christ_n &_o yet_o remain_v after_o christ_n many_o hundred_o year_n none_o but_o these_o man_n can_v answer_v this_o riddle_n wherefore_o since_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v abolish_v as_o themselves_o say_v there_o be_v no_o time_n therefore_o leave_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n my_o four_o argument_n against_o they_o be_v because_o the_o four_o com._n can_v agree_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o 1._o the_o day_n command_v in_o the_o

before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o command_v in_o the_o four_o com._n hereunto_o i_o may_v yet_o add_v a_o other_o difference_n that_o the_o day_n command_v by_o the_o four_o comm._n it_o be_v a_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o the_o day_n which_o they_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v to_o be_v

gross_o if_o this_o be_v not_o botch_a &_o cobble_v to_o thrust_v this_o new_a sabbath_n day_n into_o a_o old_a commandment_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v to_o coble_o be_v to_o put_v a_o piece_n of_o

than_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n also_o be_v abolish_v hereunto_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o law_n moral_a &_o a_o law_n ceremonial_a now_o when_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o law_n of_o commandment_n ephe._n 2.15_o &_o again_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n heb._n 7.12_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v press_v these_o text_n to_o the_o abolish_n of_o all_o law_n we_o will_v answer_v they_o by_o distinguish_v of_o law_n into_o moral_a &_o ceremonial_a say_v that_o these_o text_n do_v abolish_v only_o the_o law_n ceremonial_a but_o not_o the_o law_n moral_a so_o may_v i_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n &_o command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n wherefore_o i_o answer_v they_o by_o distinguish_v thus_o there_o be_v weekly_a sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n &_o there_o be_v yearly_a sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v never_o write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n levit._n 23.24.39_o now_o this_o their_o text_n may_v be_v understod_a only_o of_o these_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o not_o of_o the_o moral_a &_o weekly_a sabbath_n &_o thus_o be_v these_o two_o scripture_n exod._n 20.8_o &_o col._n 2.16_o reconcile_a and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o all_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v in_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o all_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n that_o all_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v for_o there_o be_v a_o all_o of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v many_o so_o then_o we_o may_v understand_v this_o text_n to_o abolish_v all_o sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v the_o generality_n of_o all_o yearly_a sabbath_n since_o there_o be_v a_o generality_n of_o they_o or_o by_o all_o we_o may_v understand_v all_o these_o sabbath_n exclude_v the_o morall-law_n or_o table_n of_o stone_n that_o be_v all_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n &_o so_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o touch_v in_o this_o text_n thus_o you_o see_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o why_o they_o shall_v hale_v in_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n for_o a_o fit_a distinction_n may_v salve_v all_o wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v violent_o wring_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n it_o be_v wilful_o do_v of_o they_o to_o satisfy_v some_o corrupt_a humour_n or_o other_o you_o see_v this_o text_n may_v safe_o &_o sound_o be_v expound_v of_o the_o annual_a sabbath_n only_o without_o any_o the_o least_o violence_n offer_v unto_o this_o text_n furthermore_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o shadow_n he_o do_v not_o say_v all_o sabbath_n use_v the_o general_a particle_n all_o but_o he_o speak_v indefinite_o say_v sabbath_n or_o sabbath_n day_n without_o this_o word_n all_o &_o therefore_o may_v be_v understod_a but_o of_o some_o sabbath_n day_n particular_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o thereof_o follow_v that_o therefore_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o sabbath_n day_n general_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o plurality_n &_o a_o generality_n between_o sabbaht_n plural_o &_o sabbath_n general_o for_o the_o apostle_n may_v make_v sabbath_n plural_o that_o be_v many_o sabbath_n to_o be_v shadow_n &_o yet_o not_o make_v sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v all_o sabbath_n to_o be_v shadow_n for_o example_n a_o man_n may_v say_v the_o tree_n do_v shadow_n i_o and_o yet_o all_o tree_n in_o the_o world_n do_v not_o shadow_v i_o again_o minister_n teach_v that_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n &_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o all_o minister_n do_v teach_v so_o for_o protestant_n divine_n teach_v the_o contrary_a so_o may_v paul_n say_v that_o sabbath_n be_v a_o shadow_n &_o yet_o neither_o say_v nor_o think_v that_o all_o sabbath_n be_v a_o shadow_n and_o thus_o be_v their_o former_a argument_n answer_v by_o the_o weakness_n of_o which_o argument_n we_o may_v see_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o love_n to_o god_n &_o his_o ordinance_n &_o to_o his_o law_n for_o strong_a love_n will_v never_o permit_v they_o to_o raze_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n so_o honourable_a a_o ordinance_n as_o god_n sabbath_n &_o to_o oppose_v god_n law_n the_o four_o come_v with_o so_o weak_a a_o argument_n and_o what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n if_o they_o may_v obtain_v their_o desire_n why_o this_o god_n law_n shall_v be_v mangle_v &_o deface_v it_o shall_v be_v deny_v its_o integrity_n &_o perfection_n it_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o monster_n partly_o moral_a partly_o ceremonial_a &_o way_n make_v for_o anabaptistry_n &_o the_o flood_n of_o prophanesse_n to_o flow_v in_o upon_o we_o by_o the_o want_n of_o god_n sabbath_n an_o other_o argument_n they_o draw_v out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o the_o lord_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o they_o be_v wonderouse_a eager_a upon_o it_o &_o desire_v exceed_o to_o find_v or_o make_v if_o they_o can_v find_v something_o to_o defeat_v god_n &_o his_o church_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o for_o this_o purpose_n they_o will_v feign_v a_o necessity_n upon_o it_o that_o by_o sabbath_n in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n understand_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o one_o because_o say_v they_o under_o the_o word_n holy_a day_n be_v mean_v all_o the_o ceremonial_a yearly_a sabbath_n &_o so_o then_o under_o the_o word_n sabbath_n day_n must_v be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o under_o these_o word_n holy_a day_n all_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v comprise_v for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o none_o of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v therein_o comprise_v to_o make_v this_o appear_v let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o word_n translate_v holy_a day_n do_v signify_v also_o a_o feast_n &_o the_o word_n translate_v in_o respect_n may_v be_v translate_v in_o part_n &_o so_o for_o

35.36.39_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o first_o 7_o day_n be_v the_o whole_a feast_n when_o the_o first_o day_n of_o those_o 7_o be_v take_v out_o for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n than_o the_o 6_o day_n

of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o

may_v easy_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v therein_o &_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n god_n enjoin_v for_o a_o sabbath_n wherefore_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v it_o be_v in_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o minister_n against_o something_o command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o this_o opposition_n there_o arise_v difficulty_n because_o they_o trouble_v the_o water_n of_o man_n understanding_n by_o bring_v many_o &_o intricate_a reason_n out_o of_o scripture_n against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v which_o intricate_a argument_n if_o these_o minister_n will_v forbear_v than_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o all_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o beat_a path_n way_n wherefore_o since_o you_o see_v where_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v my_o counsel_n to_o all_o such_o people_n as_o plead_v ignorance_n &_o want_v of_o learning_n in_o this_o controversy_n shall_v be_v that_o they_o will_v therefore_o rather_o follow_v god_n than_o their_o minister_n for_o god_n way_n be_v a_o plain_a smooth_a easy_a &_o beat_a way_n so_o as_o every_o man_n learn_v or_o unlern_v may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n sabbath_n it_o be_v such_o a_o rugged_a way_n &_o such_o a_o difficult_a way_n full_a of_o so_o many_o secret_a &_o hidden_a wind_n &_o turn_n as_o people_n of_o common_a capacety_n can_v conceive_v it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
difficult_a way_n and_o further_o let_v they_o not_o dare_v to_o live_v in_o the_o weekly_a transgression_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o profanation_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n bear_v themselves_o only_a upon_o this_o poor_a ground_n that_o their_o minister_n say_v they_o may_v so_o do_v &_o that_o their_o minister_n bring_v many_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n since_o those_o argument_n as_o themselves_o confess_v they_o understand_v not_o nor_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o for_o want_v of_o learning_n when_o they_o hear_v or_o read_v they_o dispute_v of_o the_o apostle_n say_v whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o if_o then_o they_o can_v comprehend_v &_o conceive_v of_o the_o opposite_a argument_n bring_v against_o the_o sabbath_n when_o they_o be_v dispute_v too_o &_o fro_o on_o both_n side_n how_o can_v they_o work_v in_o their_o caling_n on_o this_o sabbath_n day_n they_o can_v do_v it_o of_o faith_n they_o must_v do_v it_o doubtting_o &_o so_o sinful_o wherefore_o the_o better_a &_o easy_o know_v way_n be_v the_o sure_a &_o safe_a way_n &_o that_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o god_n rest_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o thus_o much_o for_o people_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o minister_n the_o first_o thing_n i_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n be_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n and_o word_n of_o god_n by_o wrest_v of_o many_o and_o sundry_a text_n of_o scripture_n against_o the_o four_o come_v and_o

&_o so_o i_o come_v to_o my_o first_o argument_n where_o by_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v now_o still_o in_o force_n argum_fw-la i._o my_o first_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n but_o no_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n therefore_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n here_o be_v as_o you_o see_v three_o propositiones_fw-la if_o the_o two_o foremost_a be_v prove_v the_o three_o &_o last_o must_v be_v grant_v as_o follow_v necessary_o i_o be_o therefore_o now_o to_o prove_v the_o ij_o foremost_a proposition_n and_o first_o for_o the_o first_o proposition_n or_o mayor_n to_o wit_n that_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v 1._o because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o day_n in_o question_n betwixt_o we_o but_o these_o two_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o the_o new_a sabbath_n there_o be_v no_o three_o day_n and_o therefore_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n of_o necessity_n and_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n every_o man_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o 2._o i_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o sabbath_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n at_o all_o in_o the_o church_n this_o be_v a_o heinouse_a impiety_n yea_o worse_o than_o a_o savage_a brutishness_n 3._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o all_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o man_n even_o to_o the_o church_n wherein_o we_o live_v for_o our_o church_n acknowledge_v a_o sabbath_n as_o due_a unto_o god_n &_o she_o according_o give_v he_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n weekly_o 4._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o maintain_v one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o profanly_a &_o impious_o live_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o of_o god_n ten_o commandment_n by_o name_n the_o four_o come_v for_o if_o we_o deny_v both_o these_o day_n then_o do_v we_o neither_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n nor_o the_o sabbath_n day_n all_o divine_v confess_v that_o the_o four_o come_v injoin_v a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o though_o not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n so_o then_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o the_o old_a day_n or_o the_o new_a day_n or_o else_o he_o live_v in_o the_o sinful_a breach_n of_o the_o four_o come_v weekly_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n fear_v god_n may_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o because_o a_o man_n can_v defend_v this_o day_n in_o faith_n &_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o now_o it_o behove_v every_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n to_o look_v to_o the_o government_n of_o his_o tongue_n that_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o defence_n of_o any_o thing_n unless_o he_o can_v do_v it_o in_o faith_n now_o that_o a_o man_n can_v speak_v for_o this_o lord_n day_n or_o new_a sabbath_n in_o faith_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o because_o he_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o faith_n &_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n

for_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o 1._o because_o christ_n have_v leave_v no_o commandment_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o
we_o to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o 2._o as_o there_o be_v no_o express_a

which_o there_o be_v no_o seven_o day_n therefore_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n or_o first_o proposition_n many_o divine_n be_v of_o judgement_n that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v god_n &_o to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o worship_n &_o service_n as_o moral_n wherefore_o all_o such_o divine_n must_v approve_v of_o

&_o to_o the_o redemption_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o creation_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n we_o here_o speak_v for_o it_o differ_v from_o those_o

testimony_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o purpose_n see_v ex._n 31.17_o where_o the_o lord_n speake_v of_o our_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o of_o our_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n say_v thus_o it_o

seven_o day_n rest_n be_v a_o sign_n between_o i_o &_o you_o of_o my_o 6_o day_n labour_n &_o seven_o day_n rest_n thus_o the_o sense_n must_v be_v render_v if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n as_o they_o

day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o 1._o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v &_o keep_v it_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n 2._o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v and_o keep_v it_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n time_n 3._o our_o own_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o frame_v that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v and_o keep_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o which_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v &_o keep_v after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n &_o which_o our_o own_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v that_o day_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v and_o keep_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v observe_v and_o keep_v it_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o 300_o or_o 400_o year_n &_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o therefore_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n as_o for_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n it_o need_v no_o proof_n so_o clear_v it_o be_v it_o

must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n this_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v i_o because_o it_o be_v the_o very_a position_n of_o my_o adversary_n for_o they_o thus_o argue_v for_o their_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n that_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n wherefore_o they_o can_v doubt_v of_o my_o major_n furthermore_o it_o may_v be_v

therefore_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o keep_v that_o day_n must_v be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o we_o must_v keep_v it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v keep_v a_o day_n but_o now_o &_o then_o as_o once_o in_o a_o month_n or_o once_o in_o a_o year_n or_o once_o in_o many_o year_n as_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n than_o it_o have_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v constant_o usual_o &_o every_o week_n week_n by_o week_n there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n imagine_v why_o that_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v still_o in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n no_o nor_o can_v we_o with_o a_o good_a &_o quiet_a conscience_n reject_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n if_o the_o example_n yea_o the_o

some_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bind_v we_o to_o do_v the_o like_a &_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v follower_n of_o they_o in_o this_o case_n also_o keep_v that_o day_n for_o our_o sabbath_n which_o they_o keep_v &_o constant_o keep_v also_o as_o for_o the_o other_o 2_o branch_n of_o my_o major_n they_o can_v be_v deny_v unless_o man_n dare_v

because_o we_o may_v together_o with_o antinomians_n libertine_n &_o anabaptist_n as_o well_o abolish_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o with_o they_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n

then_o may_v we_o with_o they_o also_o abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n even_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o neither_o we_o may_v nor_o

ceremony_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptiste_n do_v reject_v the_o santification_n of_o

2.17_o because_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o sabbath_n abolish_v then_o must_v not_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v abolish_v also_o by_o eph._n 2.15_o col._n 2.14_o &_o heb._n 7.12_o because_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o law_n abolish_v be_v there_o not_o the_o same_o reason_n in_o both_o for_o if_o you_o will_v extend_v the_o word_n sabbath_n which_o be_v only_o understod_a of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n unto_o the_o sabbath_n enjoin_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n why_o may_v not_o they_o extend_v the_o word_n law_n which_o be_v only_o understode_v of_o the_o

2.14_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o ordinance_n &_o commandment_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n and_o therefore_o be_v all_o god_n ordinance_n and_o all_o god_n commandment_n whither_o in_o the_o

the_o moral_a law_n as_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o cast_v away_o the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n we_o may_v as_o well_o cast_v away_o by_o the_o scripture_n misapply_v

the_o saturday_n sabbath_n be_v that_o it_o must_v be_v moral_a because_o if_o you_o abolish_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o scripture_n you_o must_v also_o by_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n you_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n then_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n must_v you_o also_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v but_o no_o man_n may_v by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n therefore_o no_o man_n may_v by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n abolish_v the_o saturday_n or_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o minor_a it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n for_o every_o man_n grant_v that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o four_o come_v be_v moral_a and_o that_o it_o be_v horrible_a impiety_n to_o abolish_v it_o any_o more_o than_o to_o abolish_v any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o how_o be_v it_o they_o say_v that_o something_o in_o this_o law_n be_v abolish_v as_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n yet_o as_o for_o the_o law_n it_o retain_v its_o command_a and_o bind_v force_n still_o as_o they_o do_v confess_v i_o come_v therefore_o unto_o the_o major_n to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n thereof_o how_o beit_v the_o point_n be_v clear_a enough_o of_o itself_o yet_o such_o be_v the_o enmity_n of_o man_n to_o god_n sabbath_n as_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v embrace_v they_o they_o will_v question_v any_o clear_a truth_n for_o what_o be_v more_o clear_a than_o this_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n yea_o any_o thing_n command_v in_o a_o law_n and_o take_v away_o the_o law_n thereof_o take_v away_o the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o you_o take_v away_o the_o four_o come_v also_o there_o be_v many_o law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v now_o abolish_v let_v my_o adversary_n show_v i_o any_o one_o of_o they_o wherein_o any_o thing_n once_o command_v be_v abolish_v but_o that_o that_o law_n itself_o also_o be_v abolish_v if_o then_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n to_o judge_v when_o a_o thing_n command_v in_o a_o law_n be_v abolish_v that_o then_o that_o law_n be_v abolish_v then_o so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o this_o case_n also_o take_v away_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o take_v away_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o example_n there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v touch_v the_o difference_n of_o meat_n levit._n 11._o now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o conclude_v that_o not_o only_o that_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o but_o also_o that_o law_n which_o command_v that_o difference_n of_o meat_n be_v take_v away_o again_o there_o be_v a_o law_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o new-moone_n numb_a 28.11_o which_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o first_o day_n of_o every_o month_n now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o those_o new-moone_n be_v abolish_v colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o conclude_v that_o that_o law_n of_o the_o new-moone_n be_v abolish_v also_o again_o there_o be_v diverse_a law_n make_v for_o the_o keep_n holy_a of_o diverse_a anniversary_n sabbath_n levit._n 23.7.21.24.32.35.39_o now_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o those_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v all_o abolish_v colos_n 2.16_o hence_o we_o gather_v that_o together_o with_o the_o abolition_n of_o those_o sabbath_n all_o those_o law_n make_v for_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v also_o it_o be_v clear_a therefore_o that_o if_o you_o abolish_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n you_o must_v also_o from_o those_o scripture_n by_o which_o you_o abolish_v it_o abolish_v also_o the_o law_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v a_o second_o reason_n i_o take_v from_o colos_n 2.14.16_o where_o the_o apostle_n abolish_n those_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 16._o do_v also_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o those_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 14._o &_o that_o under_o the_o name_n of_o handwritting_a of_o ordinance_n show_v how_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n do_v put_v out_o and_o abolish_v this_o hand_n write_v of_o ordinance_n that_o be_v those_o law_n &_o ordinance_n of_o those_o many_o yearly_a sabbath_n whence_o i_o thus_o argue_v if_o by_o this_o 16_o verse_n of_o colos_n 2._o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o weekly_a saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n then_o must_v you_o by_o the_o 14_o verse_n of_o colos_n 2._o abolish_v also_o that_o law_n handwriting_n &_o ordinance_n of_o the_o four_o come_v which_o belong_v to_o &_o be_v make_v for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n for_o look_v what_o sabbath_n day_n you_o include_v in_o v._o 16._o the_o law_n of_o those_o sabbath_n day_n you_o must_v include_v in_o v._o 14._o &_o so_o abolish_v they_o for_o it_o be_v plaiâ—e_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v no_o large_a in_o v._n 16._o then_o in_o vers_n 14._o he_o condemn_v no_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 16._o but_o such_o who_o law_n be_v abolish_v in_o v._o 14._o &_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_o prove_v that_o take_v away_o god_n sabbath_n &_o you_o take_v away_o the_o law_n of_o god_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o four_o come_v here_o by_o the_o way_n note_n that_o since_o antisabbatharians_a will_v have_v nothing_o in_o the_o four_o come_v moral_a but_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n therefore_o let_v they_o know_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o law_n for_o these_o duty_n they_o shall_v not_o press_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o duty_n by_o any_o law_n for_o in_o that_o they_o will_v have_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n a_o

lord_n day_n sabbath_n shall_v be_v a_o lawless_a sabbath_n &_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o time_n &_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n shall_v be_v lawless_a duty_n but_o hereto_o it_o will_v be_v answer_v in_o the_o four_o con_v be_v two_o thing_n inyoin_v the_o duâ—â—ies_n of_o rest_n &_o holy_a exercise_n &_o the_o time_n now_o though_o the_o time_n be_v abolish_v as_o a_o ceremony_n yet_o so_o

if_o the_o necessity_n for_o the_o great_a change_n do_v exceed_v the_o necessity_n for_o the_o lesser_a change_n &_o this_o be_v our_o case_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a passeover_n day_n which_o be_v the_o lesser_a may_v be_v upon_o this_o one_o necessity_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o far_a journey_n but_o our_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o great_a

proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o prove_v the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o passover_o day_n may_v be_v neglect_v and_o a_o other_o day_n keep_v in_o its_o room_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o see_v numb_a 9.5_o where_o the_o isralite_n keep_v the_o passover_o in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n according_a to_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o god_n at_o its_o first_o institution_n as_o you_o may_v see_v v._o 1,2_o and_o levit._n 23.5_o and_o exod._n 12.2.6_o now_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o some_o man_n in_o the_o congregation_n be_v defile_v by_o touch_v of_o a_o dead_a corpse_n and_o so_o they_o be_v debar_v from_o keep_v the_o passover_o at_o that_o time_n with_o the_o congregation_n hereupon_o they_o come_v before_o moses_n &_o aaron_n for_o counsel_n &_o moses_n not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n he_o repair_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n

14_o day_n of_o second_o month_n etc._n etc._n numb_a 9.6.7.8.9.10.11_o so_o hereby_o you_o see_v that_o howbeit_o the_o passover_o be_v by_o its_o prime_a institution_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n yet_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o time_n be_v change_v from_o the_o first_o month_n unto_o the_o second_o month_n and_o so_o the_o day_n and_o time_n

nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n

now_o these_o two_o extremity_n &_o reason_n of_o hezekiah_n
his_o change_n be_v not_o the_o very_a same_o which_o god_n specify_v in_o numb_a 9.10.11_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o like_a reason_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o

to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o i_o have_v hold_v i_o to_o like_a reason_n of_o they_o both_o as_o you_o have_v see_v and_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n may_v be_v keep_v for_o

have_v clear_v and_o make_v apparent_a the_o two_o first_o thing_n in_o this_o idolatry_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o image_n and_o likeness_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o imagination_n and_o fiction_n or_o a_o idol_n and_o nothing_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o make_v complete_a idolatry_n and_o that_o be_v honour_n and_o reverence_n for_o that_o be_v proper_o idolatry_n when_o religiouse_a honour_n and_o reverence_n be_v attribute_v unto_o image_n and_o similitude_n or_o unto_o imagination_n and_o fiction_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o unto_o idol_n and_o nothing_o as_o when_o man_n reverence_v these_o as_o divine_a thing_n and_o as_o ordinance_n of_o god_n now_o i_o shall_v easy_o demonstrate_v unto_o you_o that_o man_n give_v honour_n &_o reverence_n unto_o this_o lord_n day_n yea_o no_o civil_a honour_n but_o divine_a &_o religiouse_a honour_n for_o 1._o the_o patroness_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o do_v esteem_v one_o day_n above_o a_o other_o the_o lord_n day_n above_o and_o before_o any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o week_n and_o that_o in_o a_o religiouse_a manner_n &_o thus_o they_o honour_v it_o by_o advance_v it_o above_o all_o other_o day_n yea_o by_o hold_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v great_a than_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o must_v hold_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o high_a &_o more_o honourable_a day_n than_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o they_o say_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o redemption_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n now_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n they_o hold_v to_o be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v they_o must_v have_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o more_o honour_n than_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v
