the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o as_o i_o have_v hint_v afore_o of_o a_o church-collection_n when_o be_v it_o more_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v than_o when_o the_o church_n be_v come_v together_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o worship_n god_n 2._o this_o part_n of_o worship_n be_v most_o comely_a to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o at_o the_o close_a of_o that_o day_n work_v for_o thereby_o the_o church_n show_v not_o only_o her_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o a_o sabbath-day_n mercy_n but_o also_o return_v he_o by_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a that_o sacrifice_n for_o their_o benefit_n that_o be_v most_o behoveful_a to_o make_v manifest_a their_o profess_a subjection_n to_o christ_n prov._n 19_o 17._o 2_o cor._n 9_o 12_o 13_o 14_o 15._o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o this_o work_n be_v do_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o a_o comely_a close_a of_o the_o worship_n that_o we_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n on_o that_o day_n 3._o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o church_n be_v perform_v of_o holy_a worship_n unto_o god_n then_o that_o of_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v perform_v because_o then_o in_o all_o likelihood_n our_o heart_n will_v be_v most_o warm_a with_o the_o divine_a presence_n consequent_o most_o open_a and_o free_a to_o contribute_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v open_a be_v take_v with_o some_o excellent_a thing_n then_o if_o at_o all_o it_o be_v most_o free_a to_o do_v something_o for_o the_o promote_a thereof_o why_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o appointment_n open_v and_o make_v fre●_n the_o heart_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o because_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v it_o in_o which_o now_o such_o solemn_a service_n to_o he_o be_v do_v therefore_o also_o the_o apostle_n command_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o day_n also_o as_o on_o a_o day_n most_o fit_a this_o duty_n of_o collect_v for_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v do_v for_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n 2_o cor._n 9_o 6_o 7._o wherefore_o the_o apostle_n by_o this_o take_v the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o advantage_n and_o as_o we_o say_v while_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v what_o in_o he_o lay_v make_v their_o gollection_n not_o spare_v nor_o of_o a_o grudge_a mind_n but_o to_o flow_v from_o cheerfulness_n and_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n though_o its_o institution_n be_v set_v aside_o do_v most_o natural_o tend_v to_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n the_o only_a day_n in_o which_o we_o receive_v such_o blessing_n from_o god_n act_v 3._o 26._o this_o be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o at_o first_o it_o rain_v manna_n all_o day_n long_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o new_a testament-church_n and_o so_o continue_v to_o do_v this_o day_n oh_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v on_o this_o day_n and_o the_o riches_n that_o we_o receive_v thereby_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o be_v i_o hope_v think_v on_o every_o day_n yet_o when_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n be_v full_o come_v then_o to_o day_n this_o day_n this_o be_v the_o day_n to_o be_v warm_v this_o day_n he_o be_v beget_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o thought_n of_o this_o will_v do_v much_o with_o a_o honest_a mind_n this_o be_v the_o day_n i_o say_v that_o the_o first_o saint_n do_v find_v and_o that_o after-saint_n do_v find_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n come_v down_o upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o day_n here_o command_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o holy_a duty_n and_o although_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v be_v but_o little_a set_v by_o of_o some_o yet_o for_o a_o close_a word_n as_o to_o this_o i_o do_v think_v can_v but_o half_a so_o much_o be_v produce_v from_o the_o day_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a quite_o down_o for_o the_o sanction_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n it_o will_v much_o sway_n with_o i_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n paul_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o fellow_n so_o much_o as_o once_o speak_v one_o word_n to_o the_o church_n that_o show_v the_o least_o regard_n as_o to_o conscience_n to_o god_n of_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n more_o no_o the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n the_o first_o day_n be_v now_o all_o the_o cry_n in_o the_o church_n by_o the_o apostle_n for_o the_o perform_a church-worship_n in_o to_o god_n christ_n begin_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_v it_o on_o that_o day_n then_o the_o church_n practise_v it_o on_o that_o day_n and_o to_o conclude_v the_o apostle_n by_o the_o command_n now_o under_o consideration_n continue_v the_o sanction_n of_o that_o day_n to_o the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o as_o to_o the_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n as_o have_v be_v say_v afore_o in_o this_o treatise_n paul_n who_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n have_v so_o take_v away_o that_o whole_a ministration_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o which_o it_o be_v yea_o and_o have_v so_o strip_v it_o of_o its_o old_a testament-grandeur_n both_o by_o term_n and_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o it_o shall_v by_o any_o be_v still_o keep_v up_o in_o the_o church_n special_o since_o the_o same_o apostle_n and_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v put_v a_o better_a ministration_n in_o its_o place_n 2_o cor._n 3._o but_o when_o the_o conscience_n of_o good_a man_n be_v captivate_v with_o a_o error_n none_o can_v stop_v they_o from_o a_o prosecution_n thereof_o as_o if_o it_o be_v itself_o of_o the_o best_a of_o truth_n obj._n but_o paul_n preach_v frequent_o on_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o that_o after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ._n answ._n to_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n and_o their_o proselyte_n i_o grant_v he_o do_v but_o we_o read_v not_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o any_o new_a testament-church_n on_o that_o day_n nor_o do_v he_o celebrate_v the_o institute_v worship_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n on_o that_o day_n for_o paul_n who_o have_v before_o cast_v out_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n as_o that_o which_o have_v no_o glory_n will_v not_o now_o take_v thereof_o any_o part_n for_o new_a testament_n institute_v worship_n for_o he_o know_v that_o that_o will_v veil_v the_o heart_n and_o blind_a the_o mind_n from_o that_o which_o yet_o institute_v worship_n be_v ordain_v to_o discover_v he_o preach_v then_o on_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o crafty_a love_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n i_o say_v he_o preach_v now_o on_o that_o day_n to_o they_o and_o their_o proselyte_n because_o that_o day_n be_v they_o by_o their_o estimation_n he_o do_v it_o i_o say_v of_o great_a love_n to_o their_o soul_n that_o if_o possible_a he_o may_v save_v some_o of_o they_o wherefore_o it_o you_o observe_v you_o shall_v still_o find_v that_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o preach_v on_o that_o day_n it_o be_v to_o that_o people_n not_o to_o the_o church_n of_o

himself_o and_o have_v leave_v the_o christian_n that_o be_v weak_a to_o their_o liberty_n as_o to_o conscience_n to_o it_o yet_o he_o take_v occasion_n upon_o it_o to_o preach_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o still_o be_v wed_v to_o it_o the_o faith_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v by_o grace_n paul_n do_v also_o many_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v jewish_a and_o ceremonial_a for_o which_o he_o have_v as_o then_o no_o conscience_n at_o all_o as_o to_o any_o sanction_n that_o he_o believe_v be_v in_o they_o as_o his_o circumcise_n of_o timothy_n his_o shave_v of_o his_o head_n his_o submit_v

two_o way_n 1._o by_o a_o institution_n of_o god_n 2._o by_o the_o overrule_a power_n of_o a_o man_n misinform_a conscience_n and_o although_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o institution_n divine_a worship_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n by_o christ_n yet_o conscience_n will_v make_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v but_o little_a ease_n if_o such_o rule_n and_o dictate_v as_o it_o impose_v be_v not_o observe_v by_o he_o this_o be_v my_o answer_n upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v in_o this_o text_n intend_v and_o the_o answer_n i_o think_v stand_v firm_a and_o good_a also_o there_o remain_v notwithstanding_o this_o objection_n no_o divine_a sanction_n in_o or_o upon_o the_o old_a seventh-day-sabbath_n some_o indeed_o will_v urge_v that_o christ_n here_o mean_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o here_o he_o put_v under_o the_o term_n of_o sabbath_n but_o this_o be_v foreign_a to_o i_o so_o i_o wave_v it_o till_o i_o receive_v more_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o thing_n quest._n but_o if_o indeed_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o new_a christian_a sabbath_n why_o be_v there_o no_o more_o speak_v of_o its_o iustitution_n in_o the_o testament_n of_o christ_n answ._n no_o more_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o more_o than_o enough_o yea_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n find_v in_o the_o testament_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o prove_v its_o authority_n divine_a 1._o for_o we_o have_v show_v from_o sundry_a scripture_n that_o from_o the_o very_a day_n our_o lord_n do_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n in_o which_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n be_v do_v meet_v together_o on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v the_o lord_n himself_o for_o their_o preacher_n while_o they_o be_v auditor_n and_o thus_o the_o day_n begin_v 2._o we_o have_v show_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o third_z person_n in_o the_o trinity_n do_v second_o this_o of_o christ_n in_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o this_o day_n to_o manage_v the_o apostle_n in_o their_o preach_n and_o in_o that_o very_a day_n so_o manage_v they_o in_o that_o work_n that_o by_o his_o help_n they_o then_o do_v bring_v three_o thousand_o soul_n to_o god_n 3._o we_o have_v show_v also_o that_o after_o this_o the_o gentile-churche_n do_v solemnize_v this_o day_n for_o holy_a worship_n and_o that_o they_o have_v from_o paul_n both_o countenance_n and_o order_n so_o to_o do_v and_o now_o i_o will_v add_v that_o more_o need_v not_o be_v speak_v for_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o first_o church_n with_o their_o lord_n in_o the_o head_n of_o they_o to_o manage_v they_o in_o that_o practice_n be_v as_o good_a as_o many_o command_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v when_o we_o see_v a_o first_o practice_n turn_v into_o holy_a custom_n i_o say_v moreover_o that_o though_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o man_n as_o man_n yet_o our_o christian_a holy_a day_n be_v natural_a to_o we_o as_o saint_n if_o our_o conscience_n be_v not_o clog_v before_o with_o some_o old_a fable_n or_o jewish_a custom_n but_o if_o a_o old_a religion_n shall_v get_v footing_n and_o root_n in_o we_o though_o the_o ground_n thereof_o be_v vanish_v away_o yet_o the_o man_n concern_v will_v be_v hard_o put_v to_o it_o shall_v he_o be_v save_v to_o get_v clear_a of_o his_o cloud_n and_o devote_v himself_o to_o that_o service_n of_o god_n which_o be_v of_o his_o own_o prescribe_v luther_n himself_o though_o he_o see_v many_o thing_n be_v without_o ground_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v for_o truth_n have_v yet_o work_v hard_a enough_o as_o himself_o intimate_v to_o get_v his_o conscience_n clear_a from_o all_o those_o root_n and_o string_n of_o inbred_a error_n but_o i_o say_v to_o a_o untainted_a and_o well-bred_a christian_a we_o have_v good_a measure_n shake_v together_o and_o run_v over_o for_o our_o christian_a lord_n day_n and_o i_o say_v again_o that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o such_o a_o christian_a suit_n one_o another_o as_o nature_n suit_v nature_n for_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a instinct_n in_o christian_n as_o such_o when_o
