A93852	The royal law contended for, or, Some brief grounds serving to prove that the Ten Commandments are yet in full force, and shall so remain till heaven and earth pass away. Also the seventh day Sabbath, proved from the beginning, from the law, from the prophets, from Christ, from his apostles, to be a duty yet incumbent upon saints and sinners. / By a lover of peace with truth Edward Stennet.

whole_a law_n be_v here_o slight_v but_o the_o thing_n in_o difference_n here_o be_v whether_o such_o and_o such_o law_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v or_o no_o and_o the_o stress_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o namely_o the_o press_v of_o they_o as_o thing_n without_o which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v as_o vers_n 1._o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o show_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o do_v believe_v god_n have_v give_v to_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o jew_n

the_o apostle_n oppose_v the_o keep_n of_o these_o law_n for_o such_o a_o purpose_n as_o to_o be_v sare_v thereby_o so_o the_o bare_a keep_n of_o they_o be_v forbid_v and_o therefore_o say_v james_n ver_fw-la 19_o 20._o my_o sentence_n be_v that_o we_o trouble_v not_o they_o which_o from_o among_o the_o gentile_n be_v turn_v unto_o god_n but_o that_o we_o write_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o abstain_v from_o pollution_n of_o idol_n and_o from_o fornication_n from_o thing_n strangle_v and_o from_o blood_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n judgement_n be_v that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v keep_v some_o part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v keep_v and_o the_o reason_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o vers_n 20._o why_o they_o will_v write_v no_o more_o for_o moses_n of_o old_a time_n have_v in_o every_o city_n they_o that_o preach_v he_o be_v read_v in_o the_o synagogue_n ever_o sabbath_n day_n so_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n write_v vers_n 24._o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o certain_a man_n that_o go_v out_o from_o we_o have_v trouble_v you_o with_o word_n subvert_v your_o soul_n say_v you_o must_v be_v circumcise_v and_o keep_v the_o law_n to_o who_o we_o give_v no_o such_o commandment_n now_o can_v we_o be_v so_o gross_a as_o to_o think_v that_o be_v subvert_v man_n soul_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n to_o bid_v they_o love_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o their_o strength_n and_o to_o worship_v he_o alone_o and_o not_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a and_o the_o like_a for_o this_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n but_o the_o difference_n be_v about_o other_o law_n as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n and_o they_o be_v as_o real_o forbid_v to_o keep_v they_o as_o they_o be_v forbid_v circumcision_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n but_o
