to_o fall_v out_o some_o hundred_o year_n after_o more_n or_o less_o time_n be_v of_o no_o moment_n in_o such_o thing_n it_o suffice_v to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o say_v that_o a_o thing_n have_v be_v

choose_v set_v apart_o and_o sanctify_v from_o the_o womb_n certain_a person_n because_o he_o be_v to_o employ_v they_o in_o holy_a function_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o a_o mature_a and_o ripe_a

that_o as_o god_n sanctify_a not_o in_o the_o begin_n the_o seven_o day_n but_o by_o destinate_v it_o to_o be_v holy_a afterward_o even_o so_o he_o rest_v not_o on_o that_o day_n but_o after_o the_o

the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sanctification_n of_o that_o day_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o that_o these_o two_o fashion_n of_o speech_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n and_o meaning_n which_o be_v not_o so_o when_o we_o say_v of_o any_o body_n that_o rest_v and_o cease_v to_o work_v that_o import_v a_o thing_n present_a and_o not_o do_v by_o destination_n only_o but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o one_o have_v sanctify_v a_o thing_n in_o the_o sense_n that_o the_o word_n sanctify_v be_v take_v to_o wit_n to_o destinate_a and_o appoint_v to_o a_o holy_a use_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o such_o a_o use_n begin_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v sanctify_v for_o it_o may_v be_v very_o well_o appoint_v for_o a_o time_n to_o come_v 5_o four_o although_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v prescribe_v to_o adam_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o he_o continual_o that_o touch_v not_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o this_o be_v grant_v i_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o ordain_v unto_o he_o as_o a_o moral_a thing_n nor_o also_o as_o a_o ceremony_n and_o figure_n direct_v to_o christ_n of_o who_o he_o have_v no_o need_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n but_o only_o as_o a_o point_n of_o order_n and_o of_o government_n which_o god_n be_v
well_o as_o of_o moral_a duty_n yea_o he_o understand_v rather_o that_o then_o this_o because_o the_o observation_n of_o moral_a duty_n be_v not_o tie_v more_o particular_o to_o one_o day_n then_o to_o another_o but_o be_v a_o service_n appertain_v equal_o and_o alike_o to_o all_o day_n of_o the_o week_n whereas_o the_o ceremony_n of_o god_n outward_a service_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v more_o particular_o on_o that_o day_n then_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o this_o commandment_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o enjoin_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o if_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o sanctification_n it_o be_v abolish_v what_o inconvenience_n be_v there_o that_o it_o be_v likewise_o abolish_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o day_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n singular_a to_o this_o commandment_n to_o have_v some_o particular_a determination_n belong_v to_o the_o jew_n only_o add_v to_o the_o substance_n which_o be_v moral_a universal_a and_o perpetual_a for_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o law_n which_o some_o have_v rather_o make_v a_o part_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n concern_v the_o deliverance_n out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n and_o the_o temporal_a promise_n of_o long_a day_n upon_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n add_v to_o the_o five_o commandment_n be_v manifest_o circumstance_n which_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o have_v no_o morality_n in_o they_o nay_o be_v ceremonial_a and_o typike_a now_o if_o a_o ceremonial_a promise_n have_v

more_o repugnant_a to_o say_v that_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v both_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o same_o but_o in_o a_o diverse_a sense_n and_o respect_n as_o i_o have_v show_v among_o the_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n many_o be_v to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v ceremonial_a and_o temporal_a in_o that_o which_o they_o express_v and_o moral_a in_o their_o

commandment_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o moral_a that_o oblige_v not_o for_o ever_o and_o that_o do_v pertain_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o their_o ceremony_n and_o ecclesiastical_a government_n to_o wit_n the_o ordinance_n about_o the_o observe_v not_o only_o of_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o for_o we_o keep_v not_o any_o more_o this_o last_o day_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n wherein_o we_o shall_v sin_v if_o it_o be_v a_o moral_a thing_n neither_o can_v a_o instance_n be_v make_v from_o the_o four_o commandment_n that_o the_o observe_v of_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o thing_n natural_a and_o moral_a but_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v it_o shall_v be_v prove_v against_o the_o intention_n of_o those_o that_o make_v use_v of_o this_o argument_n that_o to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n be_v also_o moral_a because_o the_o commandment_n ordain_v not_o without_o restriction_n a_o seven_o day_n but_o stint_v particular_o and_o by_o name_n the_o last_o of_o seven_o 23_o there_o be_v some_o who_o to_o avoid_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n do_v say_v that_o the_o four_o commandment_n enjoin_v only_o a_o seven_o day_n as_o the_o genus_fw-la and_o as_o a_o moral_a thing_n but_o none_o of_o the_o kind_n whether_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o observe_v by_o the_o jew_n or_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o observe_v by_o christian_n be_v particular_o enjoin_v because_o in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o morality_n or_o if_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n beside_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o general_a a_o particular_a seven_o be_v enjoin_v the_o general_n be_v enjoin_v as_o moral_a the_o particular_a as_o ceremonial_a and_o so_o the_o genus_fw-la to_o wit_n a_o seven_o day_n as_o be_v moral_a continue_v for_o ever_o as_o well_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o under_o the_o law_n and_o the_o particular_a seven_o to_o wit_n the_o last_o of_o the_o week_n be_v only_o abrogate_a by_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v a_o bold_a reply_n and_o make_v i_o to_o wonder_v at_o it_o see_v on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o we_o may_v affirm_v with_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o four_o commandment_n make_v not_o at_o all_o any_o general_a mention_n of_o observe_v a_o unlimited_a day_n but_o particularize_v express_o a_o certain_a seven_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o last_o for_o

the_o day_n that_o god_n rest_v in_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o these_o word_n follow_v and_o he_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n wherefore_o he_o bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hollow_v it_o the_o

we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o who_o time_n the_o christian_n be_v far_o more_o beholden_a to_o god_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v since_o god_n have_v discharge_v

that_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o foresay_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v obligatory_a for_o ever_o for_o to_o dedicate_v to_o god_n precise_o a_o seven_o day_n after_o we_o have_v bestow_v six_o

its_o own_o nature_n special_o to_o christian_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o consecrate_v to_o god_n one_o of_o six_o or_o of_o five_o or_o of_o four_o for_o the_o more_o we_o hallow_v to_o god_n the_o more_o do_v we_o that_o which_o be_v just_a equitable_a and_o well_o order_v and_o the_o more_o do_v we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o be_v natural_o bind_v unto_o towards_o he_o if_o

neither_o shall_v the_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v place_v in_o that_o rank_n i_o answer_v first_o infer_v from_o thence_o a_o contrary_a argument_n that_o as_o to_o take_v pain_n in_o the_o
