the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n not_o direct_o indeed_o but_o by_o very_o good_a consequence_n as_o mr._n cawdrey_n and_o mr._n byfield_n do_v convince_o argue_v it_o for_o say_v the_o one_o our_o saviour_n do_v here_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n indefinite_o and_o a_o sabbath_n to_o be_v observe_v long_o after_o his_o death_n even_o at_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n apart_o from_o the_o multitude_n say_v the_o other_o v._o 3._o and_o the_o period_n of_o time_n here_o point_v at_o be_v forty_o year_n after_o his_o death_n when_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n be_v go_v and_o the_o gospel_n sufficient_o publish_v whereby_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v evacuate_v and_o become_v not_o only_o dead_a but_o deadly_a not_o that_o the_o old_a law_n of_o a_o sabbath_n the_o four_o commandment_n be_v then_o out_o of_o force_n but_o the_o law_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n be_v this_o christ_n show_v a_o sabbath_n to_o continue_v and_o a_o religious_a respect_n due_a to_o a_o sabbath_n still_o after_o his_o death_n yet_o not_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n therefore_o he_o intend_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n to_o be_v observe_v according_a to_o the_o four_o commandment_n as_o for_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v void_a at_o this_o point_n of_o time_n yea_o long_o before_o this_o forewarn_v flight_n the_o apostle_n and_o christian_n have_v their_o assembly_n apart_o from_o the_o other_o jew_n and_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o on_o the_o great_a day_n of_o pentecost_n act_v 2._o and_o at_o troas_n act_v 20.7_o and_o although_o sometime_o the_o apostle_n do_v preach_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n yet_o as_o mr._n c._n note_n it_o be_v only_o before_o the_o time_n mention_v act_n 20_o never_o after_o and_o only_o in_o other_o city_n abroad_o not_o at_o jerusalem_n for_o there_o we_o never_o read_v a_o word_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o all_o the_o story_n of_o the_o acts._n i_o conclude_v therefore_o with_o that_o reverend_a author_n that_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o prophetical_a caution_n shall_v regard_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n but_o altogether_o the_o contrary_a in_o regard_n the_o christian_n inhabit_v in_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o coast_n about_o judea_n prefer_v the_o lord_n day_n before_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v grievous_a to_o gracious_a heart_n to_o have_v their_o holy_a rest_n interrupt_v with_o the_o noise_n of_o warlike_a tumult_n and_o the_o hurry_n of_o a_o tumultuous_a flight_n well_o may_v the_o disciple_n be_v teach_v to_o pray_v lord_n when_o ever_o we_o be_v drive_v from_o the_o place_n of_o our_o residence_n let_v it_o not_o be_v on_o a_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n for_o that_o will_v be_v as_o uncomfortable_a to_o our_o soul_n as_o a_o winter_n flight_n will_v be_v cumbersome_a to_o our_o body_n not_o that_o it_o will_v be_v sinful_a or_o unlawful_a when_o life_n lie_v at_o stake_n to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n for_o to_o save_v a_o man_n life_n be_v a_o sabbath-daye_n duty_n and_o a_o matter_n of_o far_o great_a moment_n then_o to_o lead_v a_o beast_n to_o the_o water_n or_o pull_v a_o ox_n out_o of_o a_o pit_n both_o which_o be_v allowable_a it_o may_v therefore_o be_v score_v down_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o t._n it_o be_v error_n and_o oversight_n that_o he_o make_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n when_o peril_n of_o life_n put_v a_o man_n upon_o it_o for_o h●_n term_v it_o a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o profane_v his_o sacred_a season_n 77._o p._n 77._o and_o yet_o he_o say_v in_o the_o next_o page_n that_o have_v their_o flight_n be_v on_o the_o sabbath_n as_o long_o as_o they_o carry_v nothing_o they_o can_v not_o be_v count_v transgressor_n which_o may_v pass_v for_o another_o of_o his_o contradiction_n but_o for_o a_o closure_n to_o this_o answer_n we_o have_v deliberate_o weigh_v our_o saviour_n word_n and_o saying_n concern_v the_o sabbath_n but_o can_v find_v that_o ever_o he_o speak_v one_o word_n or_o one_o syllable_n in_o countenance_n of_o the_o old_a seven_o day_n as_o the_o sabbath_n of_o christian_n his_o word_n prove_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o last_o whereas_o his_o work_n be_v plead_v as_o the_o crown_n of_o that_o day_n answ_n 4_o i_o be_o content_a if_o the_o author_n think_v good_a to_o venture_v the_o whole_a weight_n of_o the_o cause_n in_o this_o bottom_n that_o day_n which_o christ_n have_v crown_v with_o his_o great_a

and_o we_o shall_v prove_v by_o undeniable_a argument_n that_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n carry_v away_o the_o crown_n from_o all_o other_o day_n old_a sabbath_n and_o
