permit_v apocrypha_fw-la scripture_n to_o be_v read_v sometime_o in_o our_o congregation_n yet_o it_o permit_v they_o not_o to_o be_v use_v and_o allege_v as_o a_o sole_a ground_n to_o establish_v

the_o 4_o com_n and_o since_o god_n at_o creation_n give_v a_o commandment_n for_o that_o sabbath_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v christ_n will_v a_o give_v a_o commandment_n too_o for_o this_o

the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n many_o hundred_o of_o year_n and_o can_v it_o be_v think_v god_n whole_a church_n shall_v err_v and_o that_o so_o long_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v a_o reverend_a regard_n of_o the_o tenentes_fw-la of_o our_o mother_n the_o church_n so_o as_o not_o lighte_o nor_o rash_o to_o receive_v any_o opinion_n which_o blemish_n her_o practice_n nevertheless_o this_o we_o must_v know_v also_o that_o the_o church_n whilst_o on_o earth_n be_v liable_a to_o miscarriage_n through_o ignorance_n for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n do_v not_o reveal_v his_o whole_a truth_n to_o she_o at_o once_o but_o successive_o now_o on_o thing_n and_o then_o another_o as_o she_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o &_o as_o the_o time_n may_v permite_n and_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o his_o godly_a pleasure_n do_v we_o not_o see_v daily_a light_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n and_o god_n reveal_v himself_o more_o and_o more_o and_o what_o do_v this_o argue_n but_o what_o we_o can_v deny_v that_o be_v that_o before_o such_o light_n come_v we_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o error_n as_o touch_v those_o point_n yea_o we_o must_v grante_v the_o church_n may_v &_o do_v err_v in_o some_o thing_n unless_o we_o will_v affirm_v that_o she_o be_v grow_v to_o fullness_n of_o stature_n and_o perfection_n in_o knowledge_n so_o as_o nothing_o more_o can_v be_v add_v i_o very_o persuade_v myself_o these_o very_a conceit_n that_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n can_v err_v in_o any_o main_a thing_n be_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o error_n in_o those_o mind_n where_o such_o conceit_n rule_v for_o who_n will_v be_v so_o idle_a to_o spend_v labour_n and_o time_n to_o try_v all_o thing_n and_o with_o the_o bereanes_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n if_o already_o our_o curch_n have_v try_v all_o and_o search_v all_o to_o perfection_n so_o as_o they_o have_v no_o way_n err_v more_o humble_a thought_n of_o our_o
church_n do_v better_a become_v we_o all_o that_o i_o aim_v at_o hereby_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o we_o allege_v not_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n as_o a_o infallible_a rule_n &_o touch_v stone_n of_o truth_n but_o though_o a_o paul_n preach_v it_o yet_o with_o these_o bareanes_n act._n 17.11_o rather_o to_o serche_n the_o scripture_n then_o to_o rely_v upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o man_n final_o that_o our_o church_n have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n so_o long_o and_o therefore_o the_o more_o strange_a it_o shall_v be_v a_o error_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v keep_v for_o about_o this_o 1200._o year_n as_o never_o as_o i_o can_v guess_v from_o about_o the_o year_n 364._o at_o which_o time_n the_o laodicean_n counsel_n enact_v a_o law_n for_o the_o abolish_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o for_o the_o sole_a set_v up_o the_o lord_n day_n till_o then_o both_o day_n be_v in_o use_n save_v that_o as_o have_v be_v show_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v sometime_o omit_v since_o then_o only_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v in_o request_n and_o that_o be_v about_o a_o 1200._o year_n but_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v what_o church_n it_o be_v that_o principal_o ground_n of_o our_o future_a discourse_n i_o think_v it_o needful_a therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o stay_v a_o while_n upon_o the_o exposition_n of_o it_o or_o rather_o of_o some_o such_o thing_n in_o it_o as_o may_v make_v way_n for_o our_o future_a discourse_n first_o as_o touch_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o come_v note_n that_o as_o in_o a_o bond_n you_o have_v two_o essential_a thing_n the_o one_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o money_n to_o be_v pay_v the_o other_o be_v the_o day_n when_o it_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v and_o as_o in_o circumcision_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n command_v the_o one_o be_v the_o act_n of_o circumcision_n the_o other_o be_v the_o time_n and_o day_n when_o to_o be_v do_v that_o be_v on_o the_o 8_o day_n genes_n 17.12_o and_o as_o in_o that_o other_o sacrament_n the_o passover_o two_o thing_n be_v command_v the_o one_o be_v the_o slay_v and_o eat_v of_o the_o passover_o the_o other_o be_v the_o time_n and_o day_n when_o to_o be_v do_v that_o be_v on_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o month_n exod._n 12.6.8_o just_o so_o in_o this_o 4_o com_n god_n command_v we_o express_o two_o thing_n as_o essential_a part_n of_o his_o com_n the_o one_o be_v holiness_n and_o rest_n the_o other_o be_v the_o time_n when_o these_o aught_o to_o be_v perform_v and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v the_o 7_o day_n the_o

day_n v._n 8._o the_o 7_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n v._o 10._o the_o use_n of_o this_o point_n serve_v for_o confutation_n be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n in_o his_o 4_o com_n straight_o charge_v we_o two_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n or_o thus_o the_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v and_o the_o time_n when_o they_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o so_o many_o say_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o 4_o come_v oh_o the_o time_n that_o be_v but_o a_o accident_n but_o a_o circumstance_n god_n regard_v not_o circumstance_n so_o much_o it_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o time_n that_o god_n look_v at_o etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v but_o superstitiouse_a and_o vain_a to_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o time_n where_o to_o i_o answer_v 1._o time_n may_v here_o be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1._o in_o relation_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o holiness_n and_o rest_n and_o so_o i_o

with_o holiness_n and_o rest_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v no_o adjuncte_v but_o thus_o it_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o come_v the_o time_n be_v no_o less_o command_v than_o the_o duty_n of_o holiness_n and_o rest_n i_o answer_v 2._o but_o admite_v that_o time_n here_o be_v a_o accident_n or_o adjuncte_v to_o the_o come_v and_o that_o you_o esteem_v of_o adjuncte_n as_o light_v and_o

that_o this_o phrase_n sabbath_n day_n be_v among_o the_o jew_n a_o proper_a name_n for_o one_o of_o their_o week_n day_n nam_o for_o that_o week_n day_n which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o the_o week_n

all_o the_o other_o 6._o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o the_o 7_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n they_o call_v sabbath_n day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n our_o suneday_n they_o call_v the_o first_o of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o second_o day_n of_o the_o week_n our_o moonday_n they_o call_v the_o second_o of_o the_o sabbath_n our_o tuesday_n the_o third_o

well_o know_v day_n afore_o any_o of_o the_o other_o 6._o day_n for_o holy_a duty_n then_o mark_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v further_a in_o this_o com_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n not_o the_o three_o day_n nor_o the_o 4_o day_n nor_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o the_o 7_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n where_o to_o take_v hence_o all_o scruple_n about_o the_o

of_o the_o week_n but_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o 7_o be_v the_o sabbath_n so_o again_o you_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v cull_v out_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o 7._o for_o his_o
