holiday_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o of_o their_o saint_n as_o they_o will_v call_v and_o make_v they_o now_o in_o this_o case_n if_o we_o will_v have_v all_o thing_n do_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n see_v heb._n 8._o 5._o we_o shall_v throw_v off_o and_o surcease_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o many_o or_o most_o of_o these_o latter_a sort_n but_o therefore_o in_o no_o wise_a from_o the_o former_a i_o speak_v as_o unto_o wise_a man_n judge_v you_o what_o i_o say_v that_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o yearly_o commemorate_v the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a because_o we_o will_v not_o willing_o mind_v all_o the_o saint_n day_n in_o the_o romish_a nor_o yet_o in_o the_o english_a almanac_n calender_n according_a to_o that_o reason_v which_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o matth._n 23._o 23._o see_v that_o the_o first_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o of_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v but_o the_o other_o be_v the_o tradition_n invention_n or_o imposition_n of_o man_n may_v be_v leave_v unobserved_a and_o let_v alone_o we_o shall_v be_v zealous_a for_o and_o observe_v each_o thing_n according_a as_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n and_o institution_n of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o obligation_n as_o to_o what_o proceed_v only_o from_o the_o law_n of_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n or_o from_o the_o rudiment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o men._n to_o show_v and_o put_v a_o difference_n be_v one_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o ministerial_a duty_n ezek._n 22._o 26._o and_o thus_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o what_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n and_o appointment_n to_o show_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o between_o the_o order_n and_o imposition_n of_o man_n as_o also_o to_o point_v out_o both_o extreme_n for_o both_o extreme_n be_v bad_a and_o to_o show_v how_o the_o truth_n lie_v in_o the_o middle_a way_n be_v 'tween_o they_o both_o all_o this_o rightful_o and_o skilful_o do_v will_v prevent_v abundance_n of_o error_n and_o mistake_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n true_o indeed_o that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n oeconomy_n and_o dispensation_n holiness_n unto_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v inscribe_v and_o intend_v in_o all_o the_o action_n of_o those_o who_o will_v frame_v and_o order_v their_o conversation_n according_a to_o the_o same_o gospel_n and_o consequent_o to_o a_o christian_a man_n or_o woman_n every_o day_n to_o he_o or_o she_o not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n only_o but_o every_o week_n day_n also_o shall_v be_v holiness_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o every_o day_n we_o draw_v near_o towards_o our_o end_n and_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o grow_v better_o even_o so_o likewise_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v that_o we_o keep_v each_o day_n to_o morrow_n more_o than_o this_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v the_o week_n day_n and_o this_o be_v sabbath_n more_o and_o more_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n and_o try_v also_o if_o you_o can_v live_v the_o next_o day_n yet_o more_o holy_a sober_a and_o innocent_a and_o so_o on_o nevertheless_o as_o in_o the_o six_o day_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v worldly_a work_n and_o labour_n and_o therein_o we_o serve_v god_n acceptable_o also_o as_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o place_n of_o his_o worship_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o do_v on_o that_o and_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o a_o double_a portion_n and_o of_o a_o double_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o pre-eminence_n and_o excellency_n that_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n shall_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n all_o this_o hinder_v not_o that_o though_o every_o day_n unto_o a_o christian_a man_n or_o woman_n shall_v be_v holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n yet_o nevertheless_o some_o particular_a day_n as_o those_o three_o great_a festival_n beforementioned_a may_v be_v holy_a above_o all_o the_o rest_n by_o way_n of_o pre-eminence_n and_o excellency_n have_v thus_o prepare_v the_o way_n and_o show_v the_o middle_a way_n between_o the_o too_o much_o superstitious_a observance_n of_o holy_a day_n on_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o total_a neglect_n or_o contempt_n of_o they_o on_o the_o other_o let_v no_o man_n therefore_o judge_v you_o in_o meat_n or_o in_o drink_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o holy_a day_n or_o of_o the_o new_a moon_n or_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v a_o shadow_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o the_o body_n be_v of_o christ_n col._n 2._o 16_o 17._o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o speak_v to_o surcease_v the_o use_n of_o they_o utter_o in_o no_o wise_a but_o as_o those_o great_a holy_a day_n now_o in_o use_n and_o observation_n among_o we_o have_v all_o a_o relation_n and_o tendency_n unto_o christ_n as_o his_o nativity_n his_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a his_o

so_o in_o a_o less_o measure_n on_o each_o day_n of_o our_o assemble_v ourselves_o together_o throughout_o the_o year_n proceed_v we_o now_o to_o show_v the_o right_a manner_n how_o to_o observe_v

that_o wrong_a manner_n of_o observe_v festival_n now_o in_o use_n in_o the_o world_n who_o look_v upon_o and_o practise_v it_o no_o other_o than_o as_o a_o time_n of_o feast_v and_o idleness_n but_o herein_o they_o forget_v the_o benefit_n which_o christ_n do_v for_o they_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o also_o what_o duty_n be_v expect_v from_o themselves_o as_o arise_v from_o thence_o the_o scripture_n like_o the_o author_n thereof_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v effectual_o answer_v that_o true_a end_n of_o his_o priesthood_n as_o to_o have_v compassion_n upon_o the_o ignorant_a and_o those_o who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o be_v to_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n the_o scripture_n give_v they_o notice_n and_o warn_v and_o direction_n to_o put_v

be_v amiss_o or_o want_v in_o order_n to_o right_o instruct_v and_o make_v it_o up_o again_o and_o so_o where_o paul_n by_o the_o spirit_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a if_o then_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n in_o that_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o he_o be_v contain_v a_o hide_a innuendo_fw-la or_o mean_v as_o if_o many_o be_v not_o rise_v with_o christ_n for_o he_o write_v unto_o these_o as_o the_o choice_n and_o best_a of_o christian_n and_o thereby_o he_o imply_v that_o even_o they_o have_v make_v a_o good_a proficiency_n and_o advancement_n if_o even_o they_o have_v go_v and_o
