this_o can_v be_v but_o the_o day_n speak_v of_o have_v the_o same_o honourable_a title_n and_o name_n as_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n 4._o that_o the_o particular_a day_n well_o know_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n call_v by_o the_o same_o honourable_a and_o holy_a title_n or_o name_n as_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v and_o other_o holy_a institution_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o let_v we_o consider_v argument_n of_o all_o sort_n inartificial_a and_o artificial_a abundant_o confirm_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n light_n and_o evidence_n first_o to_o begin_v with_o inartificial_a argument_n viz._n testimony_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n until_o you_o come_v nigh_o to_o our_o day_n take_v mr._n baxter_n own_o word_n it_o be_v unquestionable_a to_o any_o man_n verse_v in_o antiquity_n that_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n greek_n and_o latin_a syrian_a ethiopick_n persian_a and_o ar●b●ck_n call_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o lord_n day_n and_o further_o he_o and_o other_o worthy_n have_v and_o do_v give_v the_o challenge_n unto_o any_o one_o to_o cite_v out_o of_o approve_a history_n or_o from_o but_o one_o an●●ent_a writer_n but_o one_o church_n or_o but_o one_o christian_n or_o but_o one_o heretic_n who_o do_v gainsay_v this_o but_o of_o late_a time_n and_o what_o force_n there_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n we_o may_v now_o weigh_v it_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v that_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o man_n be_v true_a john_n 8.17_o this_o be_v grant_v of_o all_o who_o have_v but_o humanity_n that_o it_o be_v legal_o true_a and_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o be_v legal_o false_a and_o we_o may_v know_v what_o to_o judge_v of_o he_o that_o speak_v it_o but_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n from_o age_n to_o age_n may_v well_o have_v the_o credit_n which_o belong_v to_o two_o man_n and_o somewhat_o more_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a all_o the_o church_n east_n and_o west_n those_o who_o have_v no_o opportunity_n one_o with_o another_o that_o these_o can_v convene_v or_o any_o way_n consult_v to_o deceive_v their_o poor_a posterity_n with_o a_o lie_n by_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n have_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a when_o if_o it_o be_v false_a but_o they_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o they_o be_v guide_v according_a to_o truth_n which_o come_v from_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o truth_n breathe_v in_o the_o apostle_n and_o guide_v the_o church_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n to_o declare_v the_o same_o to_o their_o child_n and_o so_o to_o child_n child_n in_o all_o age_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o case_n psal_n 78.6_o 7._o and_o if_o the_o facto_fw-la as_o they_o call_v it_o concern_v the_o fact_n for_o that_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o viz._n that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n from_o the_o primitive_a time_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n if_o history_n be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o inform_v we_o or_o what_o they_o say_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v credit_v although_o they_o general_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o to_o fact_n what_o be_v do_v i_o know_v not_o of_o what_o use_v they_o be_v but_o all_o the_o book_n and_o history_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n concern_v the_o time_n of_o the_o ten_o persecution_n and_o ever_o since_o may_v be_v commit_v to_o the_o flame_n as_o unworthy_a of_o credit_n and_o let_v we_o never_o write_v and_o record_v any_o thing_n more_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o posterity_n of_o this_o kind_n but_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o no_o sober_a mind_a christian_n will_v agree_v to_o this_o whatever_o john_n rogers_n his_o judgement_n may_v be_v and_o if_o any_o do_v desire_n to_o see_v more_o full_o how_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n let_v they_o read_v mr._n samuel_n cradock_n book_n entitle_v knowledge_n and_o practice_n and_o mr._n baxter_n book_n concern_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o divine_a appointment_n the_o lord_n day_n in_o which_o book_n may_v be_v see_v the_o ancient_a writer_n cite_v in_o their_o several_a place_n and_o age_n from_o the_o primitive_a time_n to_o the_o latter_a time_n attest_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n we_o have_v at_o present_a do_v with_o the_o first_o argument_n as_o it_o respect_v testimony_n 2._o but_o let_v we_o proceed_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o argument_n which_o by_o the_o learned_a be_v call_v artificial_a and_o argue_v from_o the_o artifice_n frame_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o must_v necessary_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v the_o strong_a way_n of_o reason_v arg._n the_o apostle_n call_v the_o day_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o lord_n make_v and_o as_o it_o be_v or_o else_o he_o do_v miscall_v it_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o disjunct_a proposition_n must_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v call_v the_o day_n as_o it_o be_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v for_o none_o will_v dare_v to_o say_v that_o he_o miscall_v it_o unless_o it_o be_v those_o who_o have_v learn_v to_o blaspheme_n the_o minor_a follow_v that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v make_v by_o the_o lord_n above_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o gospel_n time_n and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v 1._o first_o this_o be_v the_o day_n in_o which_o our_o lord_n rise_v john_n 20._o ●_o luk._n 24.1_o 2._o this_o be_v the_o day_n in_o which_o he_o appear_v to_o the_o two_o disciple_n after_o his_o resurrection_n to_o teach_v they_o luk._n 24.13_o 3._o this_o be_v

4._o and_o this_o be_v the_o day_n he_o choose_v again_o to_o appear_v when_o thomas_n be_v with_o they_o john_n 20.26_o 5._o and_o this_o be_v the_o day_n promise_v and_o prophesy_v of_o and_o

of_o christ_n resurrection_n day_n as_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o word_n and_o that_o which_o some_o have_v mention_v in_o ezek._n 43.27_o have_v likewise_o its_o weight_n that_o the_o eight_o

than_o the_o eight_o day_n which_o be_v our_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v honour_v and_o sanctify_v above_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o tha●_n by_o the_o lord_n appointment_n but_o thus_o it_o

the_o worship_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v acceptable_a and_o that_o be_v the_o eight_o day_n which_o be_v our_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v the_o
