with_o that_o which_o m._n perkins_n report_v say_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n but_o afterward_o it_o be_v

&_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

god_n as_o a_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o albeit_o man_n sleit_v this_o ordinance_n of_o god_n ancient_a sabbath_n cal_v it_o but_o a_o

the_o king_n coin_v make_v it_o light_a and_o lesser_a than_o his_o majesty_n coin_v it_o for_o argum_fw-la xviii_o my_o 18_o argument_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n be_v that_o it_o must_v be_v moral_a and_o still_o in_o use_n because_o it_o be_v observe_v by_o christian_n with_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v the_o observation_n of_o that_o thing_n by_o christianes_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n record_v to_o posterity_n by_o way_n of_o approbation_n and_o commendation_n that_o be_v no_o ceremony_n but_o moral_a and_o still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v celebrate_v by_o christian_n after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o abolition_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o be_v record_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o all_o posterity_n by_o way_n of_o approbation_n &_o commendation_n therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v no_o ceremony_n but_o a_o moral_a &_o still_o in_o force_n for_o the_o major_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o for_o since_o that_o all_o ceremony_n have_v their_o period_n and_o last_o date_n at_o christ_n death_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v give_v the_o least_o commendation_n or_o approbation_n of_o any_o ceremony_n practise_v after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n at_o which_o time_n all_o ceremony_n have_v their_o end_n unless_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v build_v up_o again_o what_o christ_n have_v throw_v down_o it_o can_v be_v think_v the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v give_v any_o approbation_n of_o a_o ceremony_n unto_o posterity_n and_o the_o christian_a church_n succeed_v wherefore_o the_o observation_n of_o christian_o commend_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n
