upon_o to_o show_v one_o text_n in_o which_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v abrogate_a and_o now_o we_o bring_v a_o express_a literal_a one_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o do_v but_o many_o objection_n be_v bring_v in_o against_o it_o which_o we_o shall_v successive_o consider_v and_o traverse_v 1._o some_o think_v it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n only_o because_o else_o it_o will_v reach_v the_o first-day-sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o seven_o but_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o that_o for_o the_o first_o day_n be_v never_o call_v sabbath_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v mean_v and_o we_o say_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v both_o positive_a and_o ceremonial_a for_o he_o himself_o allow_v it_o to_o signify_v the_o eternal_a rest_n above_o 2._o he_o object_n that_o one_o place_n name_v no_o sabbath_n but_o only_a day_n the_o other_o indeed_o name_n sabbath_n which_o he_o will_v have_v interpret_v week_n for_o which_o i_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n but_o much_o against_o it_o and_o therefore_o shall_v say_v nothing_o till_o he_o produce_v his_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o all_o the_o weight_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v but_o a_o silly_a conjecture_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n sabbath_n but_o we_o have_v see_v before_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o silly_a conjecture_n but_o ground_v upon_o the_o very_a usual_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n upon_o the_o connection_n of_o the_o adjoin_v thing_n upon_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n unto_o who_o he_o write_v and_o upon_o the_o design_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o they_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a what_o follow_v be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o conjecture_n but_o a_o very_a great_a oversight_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o find_v the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n no_o where_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n ascribe_v to_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v then_o because_o he_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o sin_v it_o

greek_a the_o word_n be_v sabbath_n without_o a_o verbal_a superaddition_n of_o day_n which_o he_o himself_o must_v be_v enforce_v to_o acknowledge_v speak_v of_o this_o day_n 3._o the_o seven_o day_n he_o faith_n be_v never_o in_o question_n in_o any_o of_o these_o epistle_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o question_n about_o alter_v it_o how_o can_v such_o a_o sense_n be_v impose_v etc._n etc._n just_o so_o i_o may_v say_v the_o new-moon_n observation_n and_o the_o annual_a festival_n be_v not_o where_o question_v in_o these_o epistle_n nor_o any_o where_o else_o that_o i_o remember_v

for_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a for_o what_o they_o be_v understand_v here_o we_o have_v still_o the_o thred-beaten_a plea_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n introduce_v and_o improve_v when_o i_o assert_v that_o neither_o he_o nor_o all_o the_o world_n can_v ever_o prove_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n quatenus_fw-la moral_n his_o four_o answer_v plain_o confound_v sabbath_n with_o year_n and_o new-moon_n which_o the_o apostle_n clear_o distinguish_v and_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o may_v true_o say_v they_o be_v but_o mere_a ungrounded_a conjecture_n to_o baffle_v a_o express_a text_n of_o scripture_n but_o here_o he_o have_v a_o very_a strange_a fancy_n that_o by_o day_n may_v be_v mean_v the_o first_o day_n because_o the_o heathen_a worship_v the_o sun_n on_o that_o day_n and_o so_o then_o every_o day_n because_o the_o heathen_a worship_a distinct_a idol_n every_o day_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o consecrate_a day_n at_o all_o neither_o first_o nor_o seven_o nor_o any_o other_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o follow_v here_o be_v but_o as_o he_o express_v his_o own_o thought_n and_o as_o well_o ground_v as_o that_o think_v of_o he_o that_o the_o first_o day_n be_v not_o observe_v by_o christian_n when_o yet_o we_o have_v find_v they_o several_a time_n associate_v on_o that_o day_n and_o christ_n appear_v several_a time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o at_o troas_n assemble_v on_o that_o day_n and_o st._n paul_n preach_v and_o administer_a the_o lord_n supper_n to_o they_o and_o therein_o to_o harmonise_v with_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n which_o i_o suppose_v prove_v against_o objection_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o seven_o day_n only_o there_o be_v assembly_n of_o the_o jew_n on_o that_o day_n and_o st._n paul_n take_v the_o advantage_n on_o these_o day_n to_o preach_v to_o they_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o christ_n disciple_n and_o follower_n we_o may_v therefore_o according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n that_o which_o appear_v not_o be_v not_o at_o all_o conclude_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v never_o observe_v by_o the_o disciple_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n as_o a_o day_n consecrate_v to_o public_a worship_n because_o we_o never_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o do_v so_o meet_v whereas_o the_o contrary_a be_v see_v by_o the_o first_o day_n so_o i_o dismiss_v this_o thought_n and_o the_o other_o as_o no_o more_o likely_a 5._o he_o far_o say_v that_o it_o be_v uncertain_a and_o therefore_o as_o such_o i_o over_o look_v it_o 6._o he_o say_v from_o paul_n constant_a keep_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n that_o he_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o condemn_v his_o own_o constant_a practice_n but_o how_o he_o do_v this_o we_o have_v already_o see_v and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o stop_v here_o 7._o that_o st._n paul_n commend_v the_o whole_a moral_a law_n as_o just_o holy_a and_o good_a and_o therefore_o can_v never_o be_v think_v to_o condemn_v it_o here_o here_o we_o have_v anew_o theatrize_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o apostle_n do_v strenuous_o urge_v and_o never_o oppose_v any_o one_o tittle_n thereof_o but_o yet_o he_o here_o decry_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o very_o consistent_a with_o and_o agree_v to_o all_o his_o

as_o all_o that_o be_v true_o and_o natural_o moral_a be_v but_o by_o god_n command_v it_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v positive_o moral_a 8._o the_o last_o answer_n be_v from_o math._n 24.20_o

the_o observance_n of_o it_o from_o either_o jew_n or_o gentile_n to_o who_o they_o write_v and_o consequent_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o they_o never_o preach_v it_o for_o we_o true_o hold_v that_o the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o their_o sermon_n be_v in_o their_o book_n yea_o their_o write_n have_v several_a weighty_a passage_n against_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n now_o our_o

sunday_n as_o though_o this_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a guest_n as_o a_o blind_a man_n shoot_v the_o mark_n or_o catch_v the_o hare_n as_o the_o other_o three_o guess_n he_o say_v we_o make_v in_o the_o very_a next_o paragraph_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v such_o a_o guest_n as_o he_o will_v not_o controvert_v and_o we_o think_v it_o be_v because_o he_o can_v gainsay_v it_o but_o yet_o this_o great_a condescension_n to_o we_o must_v be_v with_o a_o grant_n from_o we_o to_o he_o that_o st._n paul_n be_v a_o keeper_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o a_o observer_n of_o it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n and_o so_o for_o his_o grant_v we_o what_o he_o can_v deny_v we_o must_v grant_v he_o what_o he_o can_v never_o prove_v yea_o what_o we_o have_v deny_v and_o still_o do_v viz._n that_o paul_n be_v a_o keeper_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath-day_n we_o grant_v indeed_o as_o before_o that_o he_o preach_v on_o that_o day_n usual_o to_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o synagogue_n because_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o such_o convenient_a time_n and_o place_n for_o it_o but_o that_o he_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n we_o utter_o deny_v for_o than_o he_o will_v have_v do_v it_o among_o the_o gentile_n as_o well_o as_o among_o the_o jew_n which_o yet_o we_o never_o read_v he_o do_v or_o if_o he_o say_v he_o do_v let_v he_o prove_v it_o which_o we_o be_v sure_a from_o scripture_n he_o can_v never_o do_v nor_o after_o the_o former_a chapter_n that_o ever_o he_o do_v go_v so_o much_o as_o to_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n for_o this_o be_v all_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o keep_n it_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o here_o we_o find_v that_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o von_n the_o first_o day_n and_o paul_n come_v to_o they_o and_o associate_v with_o they_o in_o religious_a duty_n and_o why_o be_v the_o first_o day_n now_o name_v and_o the_o seven_o never_o after_o as_o the_o solemn_a dedicate_v day_n to_o their_o worship_n but_o because_o it_o be_v never_o so_o from_o that_o time_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o condition_n upon_o which_o he_o will_v be_v so_o exceed_o kind_a to_o we_o as_o to_o grant_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v sunday_n or_o our_o lord_n day_n but_o it_o must_v be_v buy_v with_o another_o information_n even_o on_o what_o part_n of_o the_o sunday_n it_o be_v that_o this_o assembly_n be_v and_o st._n paul_n associate_a in_o they_o which_o he_o take_v for_o grant_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a do_v but_o guess_v that_o his_o opponent_n do_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o evening_n after_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o he_o take_v for_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o day_n and_o so_o paul_n preach_v till_o the_o midnight_n and_o break_v bread_n and_o discourse_v only_o till_o the_o light_n of_o the_o first_o day_n but_o perform_v no_o religious_a duty_n upon_o the_o morning_n of_o that_o day_n at_o all_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o first_o daylight_n begin_v to_o dawn_n he_o betake_v himself_o to_o what_o be_v profane_a and_o travel_v which_o i_o think_v be_v a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n and_o in_o a_o scriptural_a sense_n be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o perform_v no_o religious_a duty_n at_o all_o thereon_o for_o it_o be_v the_o light_n that_o god_n call_v day_n and_o the_o dakness_n he_o call_v night_n gen._n 1.5_o and_o so_o to_o contradict_v the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o text._n beside_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o he_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o a_o natural_a day_n either_o the_o dark_a part_n of_o it_o which_o we_o with_o scripture_n call_v night_n or_o the_o light_a part_n of_o it_o which_o with_o it_o we_o call_v day_n if_o the_o light_a part_n as_o i_o think_v a_o unprejudiced_a mind_n will_v grant_v why_o shall_v he_o suppose_v that_o all_o the_o religious_a duty_n of_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o the_o dark_a thereof_o and_o not_o in_o the_o light_n again_o we_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n do_v not_o begin_v at_o even_o but_o rather_o in_o the_o morning_n when_o our_o lord_n rise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_a that_o be_v the_o great_a occasion_n of_o its_o sanctification_n to_o sacred_a duty_n and_o its_o be_v employ_v therein_o by_o those_o disciple_n and_o paul_n and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v express_v scripture_n i_o mean_v for_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n beginning_n in_o the_o morning_n as_o mat._n 28.1_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o it_o begin_v to_o dawn_n towards_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n where_o the_o scripture_n determine_v the_o sabbath_n to_o end_v with_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n before_o the_o firstday_n morning_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o begin_v at_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o first_o day_n so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o truth_n that_o the_o evening_n and_o night_n before_o the_o morning_n of_o it_o be_v part_n of_o that_o day_n at_o least_o in_o this_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o hence_o we_o say_v that_o paul_n begin_v to_o preach_v to_o they_o in_o the_o light_a part_n of_o that_o day_n as_o the_o beginning_n thereof_o and_o continue_v with_o they_o till_o the_o follow_a midnight_n yea_o throughout_o that_o night_n and_o so_o the_o next_o morning_n be_v the_o second_o day_n on_o monday_n take_v his_o journey_n as_o a_o proper_a day_n for_o it_o and_o now_o we_o have_v another_o of_o our_o guess_n which_o be_v that_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n and_o we_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o other_o break_n of_o bread_n shall_v be_v mean_v can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o all_o the_o disciple_n shall_v come_v together_o to_o feast_n it_o with_o paul_n and_o that_o too_o in_o the_o night-season_n as_o he_o will_v fain_o have_v it_o they_o have_v house_n of_o their_o own_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o and_o they_o will_v doubtless_o rather_o choose_v to_o receive_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n from_o the_o apostle_n that_o day_n be_v the_o last_o he_o be_v to_o tarry_v with_o they_o have_v as_o it_o be_v probable_a no_o other_o apostle_n or_o evangelist_n or_o pastor_n with_o they_o at_o that_o time_n than_o to_o eat_v common_a bread_n which_o they_o can_v do_v when_o they_o please_v in_o his_o absence_n and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o society_n of_o disciple_n as_o such_o to_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o the_o apostle_n than_o the_o feed_n their_o body_n wherefore_o we_o say_v that_o see_v it_o be_v clear_o here_o imply_v that_o the_o disciple_n gather_v themselves_o together_o von_n this_o day_n as_o upon_o the_o usual_a time_n and_o the_o apostle_n ministerial_o serve_v they_o then_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a and_o more_o than_o a_o bare_a guest_n that_o this_o day_n be_v the_o usual_a day_n and_o so_o to_o be_v the_o future_a day_n of_o their_o solemn_a and_o religious_a devotion_n dedicate_v thereunto_o as_o to_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o other_o paragraph_n about_o preach_v and_o reason_v we_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n pass_v it_o over_o see_v we_o can_v see_v in_o it_o but_o little_a to_o the_o present_a case_n next_o by_o way_n of_o concession_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o this_o be_v a_o religious_a assembly_n and_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n yet_o then_o all_o this_o be_v but_o once_o but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o once_o as_o leaves_z the_o seven_o day_n for_o ever_o out_o of_o mention_n from_o be_v the_o day_n of_o association_n such_o a_o once_o as_o clear_o seem_v to_o imply_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o disciple_n to_o be_v their_o convention_n on_o the_o first_o day_n such_o a_o once_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v please_v here_o so_o particular_o to_o mention_v after_o he_o have_v show_v we_o before_o that_o
