argument_n which_o to_o i_o seem_v most_o suitable_a to_o my_o present_a purpose_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v from_o rev._n 1.10_o in_o which_o the_o apostle_n declare_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o open_n of_o which_o word_n to_o make_v way_n for_o the_o argument_n we_o may_v consider_v first_o it_o be_v some_o particular_a day_n in_o the_o week_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o his_o scope_n be_v to_o notify_v at_o what_o particular_a time_n he_o have_v the_o vision_n and_o revelation_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n to_o all_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o he_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n arg._n which_o be_v either_o some_o particular_a day_n or_o some_o general_a name_n applicable_a to_o any_o day_n of_o divine_a vision_n if_o so_o then_o the_o answer_n shall_v be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o question_n and_o prove_v and_o make_v evident_a nothing_o for_o the_o question_n be_v what_o day_n he_o have_v these_o divine_a vision_n and_o the_o answer_n than_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o divine_a vision_n far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o every_o word_n he_o say_v can_v speak_v such_o nonsense_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o some_o particular_a day_n in_o the_o week_n 2._o second_o it_o be_v some_o particular_a day_n well_o know_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o who_o he_o write_v by_o that_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n arg._n for_o it_o be_v a_o day_n well_o know_v to_o the_o church_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o else_o unknown_a and_o obscure_a and_o will_v want_v a_o exposition_n far_o be_v it_o likewise_o from_o we_o to_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o have_v undertake_v to_o make_v know_v to_o the_o church_n in_o what_o particular_a day_n he_o have_v those_o divine_a revelation_n shall_v put_v a_o obscure_a and_o unknown_a name_n upon_o the_o day_n by_o which_o the_o church_n can_v not_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o particular_a day_n well_o know_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n 3._o three_o this_o particular_a day_n so_o well_o know_v to_o the_o church_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a institution_n a_o holy_a day_n arg._n for_o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n either_o because_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a revelation_n or_o a_o day_n by_o divine_a institution_n but_o it_o be_v not_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o divine_a revelation_n for_o as_o we_o hear_v before_o this_o will_v be_v to_o speak_v nonsense_n and_o nothing_o to_o the_o question_n therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o it_o be_v so_o by_o divine_a institution_n and_o so_o a_o holy_a day_n take_v one_o argument_n more_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o that_o which_o be_v honour_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o apostle_n with_o the_o same_o honourable_a and_o holy_a title_n and_o name_n as_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o other_o holy_a institution_n be_v holy_a as_o these_o be_v arg._n the_o reason_n be_v for_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v honour_v this_o particular_a day_n with_o as_o sacred_a a_o name_n of_o honour_n as_o ordinance_n be_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n it_o will_v be_v to_o honour_v it_o above_o its_o due_a and_o consequent_o to_o degrade_v other_o divine_a institution_n but_o

more_o infallible_a than_o john_n r._n can_v be_v concern_v his_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o behave_v themselves_o before_o those_o who_o be_v in_o place_n of_o civil_a government_n in_o give_v a_o
