servile_a work_n or_o maintenance_n of_o any_o unnecessary_a work_n which_o the_o fame_n learned_a and_o acute_a writer_n impute_v to_o our_o saviour_n which_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v be_v almost_o blasphemous_a thesis_n 202._o it_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o moral_a because_o it_o be_v say_v mark_v 2.27_o that_o man_n be_v not_o make_v for_o it_o but_o it_o for_o man_n for_o say_v mr_n ironside_n man_n be_v make_v for_o moral_a duty_n not_o they_o for_o man_n for_o let_v the_o sabbath_n be_v take_v for_o the_o bare_a rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v who_o place_v so_o much_o religion_n in_o the_o bare_a rest_n as_o that_o they_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o heal_v the_o sick_a on_o that_o day_n or_o feed_v the_o hungry_a so_o man_n be_v not_o make_v as_o last_o for_o the_o b●re_a rest_n but_o rather_o it_o for_o man_n and_o for_o his_o good_a but_o if_o by_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v the_o sanctification_n of_o that_o rest_n so_o man_n be_v make_v for_o it_o by_o mr_n primrose_n own_o confession_n nor_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o the_o first_o respect_n for_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o be_v but_o a_o mean_n to_o a_o further_o and_o a_o better_a end_n viz._n the_o true_a sanctification_n of_o it_o which_o the_o pharisee_n little_o look_v unto_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n the_o rest_n of_o it_o be_v no_o further_o good_a then_o as_o it_o be_v helpful_a to_o man_n in_o duty_n of_o piety_n or_o mercy_n require_v of_o man_n in_o the_o sanctification_n thereof_o m._n primrose_n confess_v that_o man_n be_v make_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n will_v therefore_o wind_v out_o from_o this_o by_o make_v this_o

as_o shall_v hereafter_o appear_v thesis_n 203._o it_o be_v a_o monkish_a speculation_n of_o m._n broad_a to_o distinguish_v so_o of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o sensu_fw-la mystico_fw-la and_o sensu_fw-la

true_a that_o we_o be_v to_o rest_v every_o day_n from_o sin_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o hence_o follow_v that_o every_o day_n be_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n sabbath_n and_o that_o no_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o it_o for_o 1._o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n adam_n shall_v have_v have_v no_o sabbath_n because_o he_o be_v to_o rest_v from_o sin_n every_o day_n 2._o the_o jew_n also_o before_o christ_n shall_v have_v reject_v all_o sabbath_n because_o they_o be_v then_o bind_v to_o rest_n from_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o christian_n now_o 3._o upon_o the_o same_o

every_o day_n 5._o hence_o also_o no_o man_n shall_v pray_v at_o any_o time_n in_o his_o family_n nor_o alone_o by_o himself_o solemn_o because_o a_o christian_a be_v bind_v to_o pray_v continual_o
