the_o come_v may_v be_v understand_v either_o of_o these_o way_n for_o the_o word_n sabbath_n it_o may_v be_v translate_v either_o a_o sabbath_n or_o the_o sabbath_n either_o of_o a_o day_n certain_a

we_o may_v make_v most_o thing_n that_o be_v certain_a and_o well_o know_v which_o to_o become_v uncertain_a and_o unknown_a which_o for_o example_n the_o name_n jesus_n when_o the_o text_n declare_v

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

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

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

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

sabbath_n &_o for_o man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o this_o office_n it_o be_v but_o a_o usurpation_n if_o they_o say_v in_o god_n account_n than_o i_o answer_v as_o for_o the_o 6._o day_n they_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

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

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

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

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 consist_v of_o 3_o branch_n as_o you_o see_v as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o they_o which_o be_v that_o that_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v constant_o observe_v be_v still_o in_o force_n or_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 confirm_v by_o this_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o imitate_v and_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o even_o as_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n 1._o cor._n 11.1_o 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 frequent_a and_o customary_a example_n of_o the_o apostle_n shall_v not_o be_v available_a with_o we_o what_o then_o will_v avail_v with_o we_o in_o other_o case_n the_o very_a mention_n of_o it_o that_o s._n paul_n do_v so_o or_o that_o
further_a than_o so_o for_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o plain_a &_o right_o down_o exhortation_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o say_v he_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n what_o can_v bemore_n plain_a have_v ignatius_n esteem_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n as_o many_o think_v now_o a_o day_n or_o judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n too_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o the_o primitive_a church_n remain_v in_o their_o great_a purity_n so_o long_a christian_n retain_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_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 this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v hereunto_o subjoine_v this_o devout_a prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o

they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o

remain_v in_o we_o do_v allow_v of_o &_o approve_v of_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n i_o desire_v may_v be_v in_o special_a manner_n observe_v that_o such_o as_o reject_v god_n sabbath_n they_o reject_v

thing_n for_o the_o subversion_n of_o this_o sacred_a ordinance_n god_n sabbath_n day_n my_o first_o argument_n against_o this_o evasion_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o the_o word_n seven_o use_v in_o

as_o the_o last_o day_n 2._o the_o absurdety_n of_o this_o answer_n and_o exposition_n may_v appear_v by_o the_o like_a case_n the_o passover_o be_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v eat_v upon_o the_o 14_o

this_o we_o add_v that_o we_o keep_v it_o in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o the_o sabbath_n now_o here_o they_o leave_v we_o they_o will_v not_o say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n sake_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v renounce_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o not_o keep_v it_o for_o itself_o sake_n albeit_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passeover_n yet_o we_o keep_v it_o not_o for_o the_o passeover_n sake_n but_o for_o its_o on_o own_o sake_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v advance_v the_o passeover_n above_o the_o

for_o a_o time_n in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n not_o for_o its_o own_o sake_n object_n four_o some_o argue_v thus_o forasmuch_o as_o those_o which_o stand_v so_o

we_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n by_o neglect_v it_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v great_a be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o it_o by_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o may_v profane_v it_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o as_o safe_o for_o we_o do_v profane_v it_o in_o grief_n of_o heart_n like_v as_o david_n do_v break_v the_o law_n of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o do_v suffer_v joab_n to_o live_v and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v and_o retain_v ceremony_n among_o believer_n after_o they_o be_v abolish_v and_o as_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n so_o as_o we_o hearty_o and_o uâ—fâ—iâ—edly_o wish_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o 2._o whilst_o we_o profane_v this_o day_n we_o free_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o by_o way_n of_o exchange_n as_o hezekiah_n do_v &_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o whilst_o we_o profane_v it_o by_o bodily_a labour_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n we_o do_v reverence_v it_o &_o honour_v it_o high_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a these_o new_a sabbatharian_o they_o do_v profane_v the_o sabbath_n without_o any_o respect_n have_v unto_o necessity_n they_o profane_v it_o

neither_o do_v they_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o only_o hate_v god_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o vain_a be_v their_o argue_v to_o say_v they_o may_v as_o well_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o do_v let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o our_o neglect_n be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n of_o

nay_o we_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o 1._o we_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o 2._o we_o profane_v it_o but_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n only_o as_o david_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n and_o as_o man_n quench_v a_o house_n on_o sire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o they_o profane_a god_n sabbath_n willing_o never_o respect_v any_o

the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o put_v up_o money_n in_o the_o congregation_n or_o assembly_n but_o of_o put_v it_o aside_o by_o himself_o now_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o lay_v up_o

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

sabbath_n shall_v contain_v in_o it_o a_o moral_a day_n and_o ceremonial_a day_n or_o day_n some_o whereof_o be_v never_o write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n as_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n and_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

travail_v &_o labour_v be_v common_a work_n by_o travail_v and_o labour_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o they_o do_v on_o common_a day_n they_o make_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o common_a day_n and_o so_o profane_a it_o neither_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o profane_v &_o make_v common_a the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o profanation_n of_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n as_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v the_o profanation_n remain_v still_o but_o it_o be_v no_o sinful_a profanation_n 2._o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o objection_n do_v strengthen_v my_o

the_o sabbath_n now_o will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o because_o god_n teld_v the_o israelite_n in_o levit._n 23.3_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n therefore_o the_o israelite_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o sabbath_n before_o again_o in_o their_o own_o text_n exod._n 16.25_o moses_n say_v eat_v that_o to_o day_n for_o to_o day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n unto_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o because_o moses_n teld_v the_o jsraelite_n that_o that_o day_n present_a be_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n therefore_o they_o know_v not_o so_o much_o before_o the_o contrary_n be_v plain_a but_o two_o verse_n before_o for_o in_o exod._n 16.23_o moses_n have_v teld_v they_o over_o night_n or_o the_o day_n before_o that_o on_o the_o morrow_n shall_v be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o text_n therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understod_a as_o if_o moses_n have_v inform_v they_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereof_o they_o be_v before_o ignoramnt_n but_o that_o he_o inform_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v with_o their_o manna_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereof_o they_o be_v ignorant_a before_o for_o this_o see_v the_o context_n in_o v._o 19_o moses_n have_v say_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v leave_v of_o their_o manna_n till_o the_o morning_n now_o since_o on_o the_o 6_o day_n they_o have_v gather_v enough_o for_o that_o day_n and_o for_o the_o next_o day_n v._n 22._o the_o ruler_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o do_v with_o this_o overplus_n for_o moses_n have_v say_v they_o shall_v keep_v none_o until_o the_o next_o day_n therefore_o the_o ruler_n come_v unto_o moses_n for_o counsel_n in_o this_o matter_n v._o 22_o hereupon_o moses_n inform_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v with_o their_o overplus_n of_o maâ—nâ—_n on_o the_o

19_o moses_n have_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o lay_v up_o any_o manna_n till_o the_o morning_n he_o do_v here_o expound_v himself_o in_o v._o 23._o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o precept_n be_v

morning_n thus_o you_o see_v this_o text_n clere_v and_o nothing_o for_o their_o purpose_n ii_o again_o they_o reason_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o exod._n 31.13_o where_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o israelite_n whence_o they_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n it_o have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o sign_n unto_o the_o israelit_n then_o unto_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o this_o argument_n false_o suppose_v the_o argument_n have_v have_v more_o colour_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o institution_n no_o more_o than_o the_o rock_n be_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o creation_n 1._o cor._n 10.4_o the_o sabbath_n become_v a_o sign_n but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n as_o we_o see_v exod._n 31.13_o the_o sign_n be_v but_o adventitiouse_a &_o add_v to_o the_o sabbath_n after_o its_o institution_n wherefore_o the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o sign_n as_o well_o unto_o gentile_n as_o unto_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n among_o the_o jew_n only_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sign_n unto_o jew_n and_o none_o unto_o gentile_n since_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o a_o sign_n original_o as_o it_o be_v when_o it_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o jew_n and_o gentile_n this_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o force_n iii_o again_o they_o reason_v thus_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o people_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o profane_v of_o his_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n but_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n but_o only_o the_o jew_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v obliterated_a before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n sabbath_n &_o so_o god_n in_o mercy_n may_v spare_v they_o the_o time_n of_o this_o ignorance_n god_n regard_v not_o say_v paul_n act._n 17.30_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o clear_a light_n than_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v the_o more_o obnoxious_a and_o these_o the_o less_o 2._o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o sabbath_n break_v how_o know_v they_o this_o since_o all_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o write_v much_o less_o the_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o gentile_n 3._o by_o the_o like_a absurd_a reason_n we_o may_v prove_v that_o other_o of_o the_o moral_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n because_o god_n never_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o neither_o so_o much_o for_o this_o argument_n four_o last_o they_o argue_v from_o deut._n 5.2.3_o where_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v not_o this_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o who_o be_v alive_a this_o day_n etc._n etc._n here_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n say_v it_o be_v not_o make_v with_o their_o forefather_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n i_o answer_v 1._o if_o these_o word_n be_v take_v proper_o than_o they_o will_v make_v as_o much_o against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n as_o against_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n now_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n for_o we_o read_v of_o diverse_a part_n thereof_o in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n 2._o whereas_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v this_o covenant_n with_o they_o alive_a only_a in_o horeb_n v._n 2._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o make_v in_o horeb_n but_o before_o for_o we_o read_v of_o one_o branch_n of_o this_o covenant_n make_v at_o least_o a_o month_n before_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n &_o that_o be_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v there_o call_v exod._n 16.23.28_o for_o these_o cause_n a_o other_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n must_v be_v give_v thus_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v understod_a that_o the_o lord_n make_v not_o that_o covenant_n with_o their_o father_n that_o be_v not_o with_o they_o so_o express_o and_o apparent_o with_o such_o terror_n and_o such_o majesty_n as_o with_o those_o alive_a at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n like_a text_n require_v like_o exposition_n see_v eph._n 6.7_o psal_n 51.16_o jerem._n 31.34_o thus_o we_o see_v this_o text_n make_v nothing_o against_o the_o sabbath_n antiquity_n &_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n allege_v by_o gomarus_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr origine_fw-la sabbathi_o and_o how_o weak_o you_o have_v see_v thus_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o reason_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o reason_n for_o the_o antiquity_n thereof_o touch_v which_o let_v this_o be_v note_v that_o i_o do_v not_o determine_v whither_o the_o sabbath_n be_v institute_v in_o paradise_n before_o man_n fall_n or_o instant_o &_o immediate_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v i._o my_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o word_n so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_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 which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v genes_n 2.3_o after_o that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o 6_o day_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o ever_o after_o he_o rest_v from_o that_o work_n in_o memory_n whereof_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v god_n consecrate_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o by_o consecrate_v it_o he_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n above_o all_o the_o day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n for_o to_o sanctify_v &_o consecrate_v a_o day_n to_o hallow_v a_o day_n &_o to_o make_v a_o day_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n i_o take_v to_o be_v all_o one_o now_o the_o question_n may_v be_v whither_o god_n do_v sanctify_v this_o day_n for_o himself_o
