stir_v out_o of_o those_o place_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o which_o at_o the_o dawn_n thereof_o they_o be_v find_v and_o yet_o these_o be_v ordinance_n belong_v to_o that_o seventh-day-sabbath_n exod._n 16._o 23_o 29._o certain_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o error_n to_o impose_v these_o thing_n by_o divine_a authority_n upon_o new_a testament-believer_n our_o worship_n stand_v now_o in_o thing_n more_o weighty_a spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a nor_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v as_o i_o have_v hint_v before_o that_o this_o day_n be_v or_o be_v to_o be_v impose_v without_o those_o ordinance_n with_o other_o in_o other_o place_n mention_v and_o adjoin_v for_o the_o sanction_n of_o that_o day_n they_o be_v make_v necessary_a part_n of_o that_o worship_n that_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v thereon_o i_o have_v charity_n for_o those_o that_o abuse_v themselves_o and_o their_o lord_n by_o their_o preposterous_a zeal_n and_o affection_n for_o the_o continue_n of_o this_o day_n in_o the_o church_n for_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o they_o do_v either_o believe_v or_o think_v of_o the_o incoherence_n that_o this_o day_n with_o its_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n have_v with_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n our_o new_a testament-ministration_n they_o will_v not_o so_o stand_v in_o their_o own_o light_n as_o they_o do_v nor_o so_o stiff_o plead_v for_o a_o place_n for_o it_o in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o as_o paul_n insinuate_v in_o other_o case_n there_o be_v a_o aptness_n in_o man_n to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n because_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v it_o gal._n 4._o nor_o will_v it_o out_o of_o my_o mind_n but_o if_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v by_o divine_a authority_n and_o to_o be_v keep_v holy_a by_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n it_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o remain_v among_o the_o jew_n christ_n deadly_a enemy_n and_o a_o be_v keep_v so_o much_o hide_v from_o the_o believer_n his_o best_a friend_n for_o who_o have_v retain_v the_o pretend_a sanction_n of_o that_o day_n from_o christ_n time_n quite_o down_o in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o jew_n and_o a_o few_o jewish_a gentile_n i_o will_v except_v some_o but_o i_o say_v since_o a_o sabbath_n be_v that_o without_o which_o the_o great_a worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v well_o perform_v how_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o it_o shall_v as_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v confine_v to_o so_o blasphemous_a a_o generation_n of_o the_o jew_n with_o who_o that_o worship_n it_o not_o i_o will_v rather_o conclude_v that_o those_o gentile-professor_n that_o adhere_v thereto_o be_v jewify_v legalized_a and_o so_o far_o go_v back_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n who_o from_o such_o bondage_n have_v set_v his_o church_n

that_o have_v move_v i_o to_o this_o work_n be_v the_o shame_n that_o have_v cover_v the_o face_n of_o my_o soul_n when_o i_o have_v think_v of_o the_o fiction_n and_o fancy_n that_o be_v grow_v

wilderness_n now_o in_o the_o law_n as_o moral_a we_o conclude_v a_o time_n propound_v but_o no_o seventh-day-sabbath_n enjoin_v but_o in_o that_o law_n as_o thus_o minister_v which_o ministration_n be_v already_o out_o of_o door_n we_o find_v a_o seven_o day_n that_o seven_o day_n on_o which_o god_n rest_v on_o which_o god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n enjoin_v what_o be_v it_o then_o why_o the_o whole_a ministration_n as_o write_v and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n be_v remove_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n must_v also_o be_v remove_v for_o that_o the_o time_n nor_o yet_o the_o day_n be_v as_o to_o our_o holy_a sabbath_n or_o rest_n moral_n but_o impose_v with_o that_o whole_a ministration_n as_o such_o upon_o the_o church_n until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n which_o time_n be_v come_v this_o ministration_n as_o i_o say_v as_o such_o cease_v and_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o to_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n who_o impose_v it_o now_o also_o but_o not_o as_o a_o law_n of_o work_n nor_o as_o that_o ministration_n write_v and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n but_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n to_o those_o that_o have_v believe_v in_o he_o 1_o cor._n 9_o 21._o so_o then_o that_o law_n be_v still_o moral_a and_o still_o suppose_v since_o it_o teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o time_n must_v be_v set_v apart_o for_o his_o church_n to_o worship_v he_o in_o according_a to_o that_o will_n of_o his_o that_o he_o have_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n but_o though_o by_o that_o law_n time_n be_v require_v yet_o by_o that_o as_o moral_a the_o time_n never_o be_v prefix_v the_o time_n then_o of_o old_a be_v appoint_v by_o such_o a_o ministration_n of_o that_o law_n as_o we_o have_v be_v now_o discourse_v of_o and_o when_o that_o ministration_n cease_v that_o time_n do_v also_o vanish_v with_o it_o and_o now_o by_o our_o new_a lawgiver_n the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o be_v lord_n also_o of_o the_o sabbath-day_n we_o have_v a_o time_n prefix_v as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n require_v a_o new_a day_n by_o he_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o it_o i_o say_v appoint_v wherein_o we_o may_v worship_v not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o that_o letter_n write_v and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n but_o according_a to_o and_o most_o agree_v with_o his_o new_a and_o holy_a testament_n and_o this_o i_o confirm_v further_o by_o those_o reason_n that_o now_o shall_v follow_v first_o because_o we_o find_v not_o from_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o bible_n any_o thing_n write_v by_o which_o be_v impose_v that_o seventh-day-sabbath_n upon_o the_o church_n time_n as_o i_o say_v the_o law_n as_o moral_n require_v but_o that_o time_n we_o find_v no_o long_o impose_v and_o in_o all_o duty_n pertain_v to_o god_n and_o his_o true_a worship_n in_o his_o church_n we_o must_v be_v guide_v by_o his_o law_n and_o testament_n by_o his_o old_a law_n when_o his_o old_a worship_n be_v in_o force_n and_o by_o his_o new_a law_n when_o his_o new_a worship_n be_v in_o force_n and_o he_o have_v very_o now_o say_v behold_v i_o make_v all_o thing_n new_a second_o i_o find_v as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o this_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v confine_v not_o to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o such_o but_o to_o that_o ministration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v give_v on_o sinai_n which_o ministration_n as_o it_o be_v come_v to_o a_o end_n as_o such_o so_o it_o be_v reject_v by_o paul_n as_o a_o ministration_n no_o way_n capable_a of_o abide_v in_o the_o church_n now_o since_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o have_v take_v its_o place_n 2_o cor._n 3._o wherefore_o instead_o of_o propound_v it_o to_o the_o church_n with_o argument_n tend_v to_o its_o reception_n he_o seek_v by_o degrade_n

from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o such_o no_o very_o that_o he_o retain_v in_o the_o church_n as_o be_v manage_v there_o by_o christ_n but_o this_o ministration_n be_v dangerous_a now_o because_o it_o can_v be_v maintain_v in_o the_o church_n but_o in_o a_o way_n of_o contempt_n to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v derogatory_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o now_o these_o as_o i_o say_v be_v wean_a consideration_n no_o man_n i_o do_v think_v that_o know_v himself_o or_o the_o glory_n of_o a_o gospel-ministration_n can_v if_o he_o understand_v what_o paul_n say_v here_o
