&_o they_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o be_v gatherable_a by_o this_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o the_o first_o emperor_n that_o establish_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v constantine_n the_o great_a as_o say_v hosp_n cap._n 9_o pag._n 27._o &_o this_o

they_o all_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n unless_o we_o shall_v uncharitable_o censure_v they_o to_o have_v live_v profanly_a without_o any_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o while_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v many_o church_n keep_v both_o sabbath_n together_o to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o now_o can_v

wherefore_o since_o these_o church_n keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n so_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o after_o christ_n

2.16.17_o the_o which_o other_o man_n do_v make_v to_o fight_v together_o like_o deadly_a enemy_n before_o i_o conclude_v this_o section_n let_v i_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v on_o all_o occationes_fw-la distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n &_o the_o anniversary_n sabbath_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n for_o these_o begin_v but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o begin_v before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o because_o god_n sanctify_v and_o hallow_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n genes_n 2.3_o the_o which_o honour_n he_o do_v not_o to_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o precept_n but_o that_o also_o by_o precedent_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o destination_n only_o but_o that_o be_v holy_a by_o consecration_n also_o 3._o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a in_o themselves_o the_o one_o be_v once_o every_o week_n the_o other_o once_o every_o year_n 4._o because_o god_n place_v the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o first_o table_n thereof_o but_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v exclude_v thence_o and_o never_o come_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n 5._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o and_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o belong_v unto_o all_o man_n alike_o but_o so_o be_v it_o not_o with_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o shall_v distinguish_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n from_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n according_a as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o all_o my_o answer_n sect_n xx._n have_v in_o the_o former_a section_n of_o this_o

for_o they_o in_o this_o point_n make_v more_o sin_n than_o ever_o god_n make_v they_o deal_v by_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o player_n do_v with_o some_o of_o their_o fellow_n who_o they_o make_v a_o
