i_o baptise_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n upon_o a_o child_n when_o he_o wash_v his_o hand_n in_o common_a water_n or_o to_o pronounce_v those_o word_n of_o the_o

the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o now_o from_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o that_o poor_a people_n as_o they_o be_v they_o know_v not_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v be_v call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o these_o minister_n shall_v undoubted_o answer_v to_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n in_o profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n weekly_o so_o do_v i_o wish_v and_o advise_v all_o people_n to_o lay_v the_o weight_n and_o peril_n of_o their_o soul_n upon_o these_o their_o minister_n who_o tach_v they_o thus_o tell_v they_o plain_o thus_o we_o see_v a_o plain_a and_o express_v commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o we_o see_v none_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n wherefore_o we_o dare_v not_o in_o our_o conscience_n speak_v against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n no_o nor_o profane_v it_o by_o that_o common_a light_n of_o understanding_n and_o conscience_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o judge_n by_o if_o we_o dare_v trust_v our_o own_o judgment_n we_o dare_v not_o but_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o god_n know_v if_o you_o our_o minister_n be_v as_o willing_a as_o we_o be_v we_o will_v keep_v it_o holy_a wherefore_o th●_n fault_n be_v not_o in_o we_o nor_o the_o sin_n we_o if_o it_o be_v profane_v see_v you_o to_o it_o therefore_o our_o blood_n be_v upon_o you_o if_o we_o perish_v in_o this_o sin_n eternal_o or_o be_v plague_v of_o god_n for_o it_o here_o temporal_o for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o reverend_a regard_n which_o we_o have_v of_o you_o and_o your_o learning_n and_o honesty_n which_o make_v we_o to_o disregard_n this_o thing_n command_v of_o god_n this_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o plead_v before_o almighty_a god_n at_o that_o great_a day_n of_o assize_n that_o we_o be_v innocent_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o if_o for_o all_o this_o it_o than_o go_v ill_a with_o we_o we_o shall_v curse_v the_o day_n that_o ever_o we_o know_v you_o and_o believe_v you_o thus_o i_o advise_v people_n to_o disclaim_v and_o abandon_v the_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o this_o sin_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o burden_n of_o it_o whole_o upon_o such_o their_o minister_n as_o do_v persist_v in_o enmity_n to_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n or_o to_o any_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o four_o com._n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o advice_n be_v because_o i_o find_v the_o people_n general_o indifferent_o affect_v and_o ready_a enough_o to_o embrace_v god_n ancient_a sabbath_n in_o conscience_n of_o god_n four_o com._n and_o the_o only_a bridle_n that_o cause_v they_o to_o refrain_v consent_n be_v the_o reverend_a opinion_n they_o have_v of_o their_o minister_n who_o be_v contrary_o mind_v and_o teach_v they_o otherwise_o etc._n etc._n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a fault_n be_v in_o their_o minister_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o advise_v the_o people_n to_o lay_v the_o weight_n and_o whole_a burden_n of_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n to_o provoke_v they_o to_o reform_v and_o cale_fw-la back_o their_o erroniouse_a doctrine_n touch_v god_n sabbath_v lest_o they_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o many_o soul_n a_o other_o day_n lay_v to_o their_o charge_n an_o other_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v against_o minister_n also_o and_o it_o be_v of_o exceed_v great_a consequence_n enough_o to_o cause_v the_o hair_n upon_o their_o head_n to_o stand_v right_o up_o and_o their_o heart_n to_o tremble_v again_o if_o there_o be_v any_o love_n and_o fear_n of_o god_n leave_v in_o they_o it_o be_v this_o be_v it_o so_o that_o almighty_a god_n have_v charge_v and_o command_v we_o to_o remember_v his_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o and_o to_o this_o end_n have_v give_v we_o

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

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

day_n be_v argument_n sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o man_n &_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o strong_a they_o be_v in_o conceit_n &_o so_o weak_a in_o

in_o it_o extraordenary_a doubtless_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a something_o in_o it_o there_o be_v &_o something_o extraordenary_a too_o as_o namely_o it_o be_v call_v lord_n day_n because_o on_o it_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a &_o so_o he_o do_v not_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n they_o will_v have_v more_o than_o this_o let_v they_o show_v we_o

conclude_v since_o they_o will_v be_v so_o confident_a as_o to_o collect_v a_o necessary_a institution_n from_o a_o bare_a nomination_n i_o desire_v they_o first_o to_o prove_v it_o that_o this_o

that_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o a_o feign_a &_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n but_o a_o true_a &_o religiouse_a conscience_n for_o the_o other_o thing_n whereof_o christ_n admonish_v they_o

thus_o much_o for_o this_o objection_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n may_v be_v mean_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o some_o one_o of_o their_o yearly_a sabbath_n &_o so_o then_o if_o christ_n have_v ratify_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o text_n it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o a_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o rather_o they_o think_v thus_o because_o it_o be_v think_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n flee_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o upon_o a_o festival_n sabbath_n but_o hereunto_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v no_o yearly_a sabbath_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v for_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v all_o ceremony_n and_o to_o be_v abolish_v long_o before_o that_o siege_n of_o jerusalem_n if_o christ_n disciple_n have_v make_v conscience_n of_o those_o than_o their_o conscience_n have_v be_v superstitiouse_a but_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o superstitiouse_a as_o have_v be_v show_v &_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v and_o they_o make_v conscience_n it_o be_v no_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o weekly_a sabbath_n 2._o the_o word_n sabbath_n when_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v put_v absolute_o without_o any_o addition_n &_o when_o the_o context_n give_v no_o light_n to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v to_o be_v understod_a of_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o weekly_a sabbath_n for_o this_o be_v the_o most_o frequent_a &_o ordinary_a sabbath_n &_o christ_n his_o speech_n be_v to_o be_v understod_a in_o a_o ordinary_a &_o not_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a sense_n and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v usual_a rather_o than_o of_o those_o which_o be_v rare_a &_o seldom_o as_o for_o their_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v think_v they_o flee_v upon_o a_o yearly_a sabbath_n day_n &_o not_o upon_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n this_o prove_v not_o that_o therefore_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n but_o rather_o that_o their_o conscience_n be_v of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v upon_o a_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o they_o do_v pray_v according_o &_o further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o since_o they_o pray_v at_o christ_n commandment_n and_o be_v christ_n disciple_n that_o they_o pray_v in_o faith_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o obtain_v their_o prayer_n whence_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v that_o they_o pray_v against_o flight_n on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o they_o do_v not_o fly_v on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o god_n hear_v their_o prayer_n but_o to_o think_v they_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o yearly_a ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o pray_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o be_v drive_v to_o fly_v on_o it_o be_v absurd_o to_o suppose_v that_o god_n crose_v their_o prayer_n and_o deny_v their_o petition_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o 2d_o objection_n the_o last_o objection_n or_o rather_o answer_n be_v that_o by_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n christ_n may_v understand_v the_o lord_n day_n but_o why_o may_v they_o not_o as_o well_o say_v when_o christ_n speak_v of_o winter_n

day_n name_v sabbath_n day_n in_o scripture_n sure_a i_o be_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v a_o plain_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o

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

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
