seem_v strange_a i_o pray_v consider_v act_n 21.23_o 24_o 25._o where_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o a_o holy_a convocation_n of_o apostle_n and_o elder_n be_v meet_v at_o jerusalem_n do_v enjoin_v

and_o 24_o verse_n the_o assembly_n of_o apostle_n and_o elder_n do_v enjoin_v paul_n say_v do_v this_o that_o we_o say_v to_o thou_o we_o have_v four_o man_n which_o have_v a_o vow_n upon_o they_o they_o take_v and_o purify_v thyself_o with_o they_o and_o be_v at_o charge_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v shave_v their_o head_n and_o all_o may_v know_v that_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o

conclude_v that_o they_o observe_v no_o such_o thing_n etc._n etc._n here_o we_o see_v a_o holy_a convocation_n of_o apostle_n and_o elder_n guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n do_v require_v that_o of_o paul_n be_v a_o jew_n that_o they_o express_o command_v the_o gentile_a believer_n not_o to_o observe_v will_v it_o not_o be_v ridiculous_a then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o i_o must_v either_o observe_v all_o the_o apostle_n injunction_n to_o the_o jew_n or_o else_o that_o i_o must_v reject_v all_o the_o injunction_n of_o the_o apostle_n even_o those_o that_o concern_v the_o gentile_n for_o after_o this_o rate_n mr._n tillam_n reason_n viz._n that_o i_o must_v either_o observe_v all_o james_n his_o epistle_n or_o none_o at_o all_o because_o say_v he_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o jew_n and_o greek_n now_o then_o by_o this_o place_n in_o the_o 21_o of_o the_o act_v you_o see_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n by_o order_n from_o the_o apostle_n in_o point_n of_o observation_n but_o no_o difference_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n which_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o text_n cite_v by_o mr._n tillam_n rom._n 10.11_o 12._o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o jew_n and_o greek_n for_o the_o same_o lord_n over_o all_o be_v rich_a unto_o all_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o so_o that_o the_o argument_n remain_v unanswered_a for_o all_o that_o mr._n tillam_n have_v say_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o uncircumcised_a gentile_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n therefore_o from_o those_o word_n the_o whole_a law_n the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n can_v reasonable_o be_v infer_v neither_o let_v any_o one_o think_v to_o relieve_v himself_o by_o the_o help_n of_o this_o distinction_n viz._n that_o though_o believer_n be_v not_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o it_o contain_v moral_n and_o ceremonial_n yet_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o it_o contain_v moral_n only_o for_o first_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n make_v no_o such_o distinction_n as_o a_o whole_a and_o a_o whole_a law_n neither_o do_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n make_v any_o such_o distinction_n for_o when_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o whole_a law_n with_o reference_n to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n it_o always_o include_v both_o moral_a ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n which_o be_v all_o but_o several_a part_n of_o the_o israelite_n whole_a law_n but_o second_o suppose_v we_o shall_v allow_v the_o distress_a the_o help_n of_o

james_n now_o under_o debate_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n be_v part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o the_o imagination_n of_o such_o a_o conceit_n as_o this_o a_o stranger_n to_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o ingenious_a disputant_n who_o abhor_v to_o beg_v that_o question_n he_o can_v prove●_n for_o can_v that_o be_v but_o prove_v which_o be_v so_o often_o
