moreover_o i_o will_v endeavour_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a after_o my_o decease_n to_o have_v these_o thing_n always_o in_o remembrance_n we_o less_o want_v the_o knowledge_n than_o the_o

that_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o preach_v the_o inculcate_a of_o duty_n therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v both_o necessary_a and_o advantageous_a the_o put_v man_n in_o mind_n of_o what_o they_o know_v already_o now_o among_o the_o several_a duty_n which_o in_o faithfulness_n i_o must_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o i_o think_v it_o not_o unseasonable_a to_o put_v you_o in_o

neglect_v and_o profane_v among_o we_o give_v i_o leave_v therefore_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o st._n peter_n to_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n of_o these_o thing_n though_o you_o know_v they_o and_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o present_a truth_n and_o duty_n duty_n may_v some_o say_v ay_o will_v you_o will_v satisfy_v we_o to_o that_o for_o that_o be_v the_o scruple_n that_o lie_v upon_o our_o spirit_n we_o know_v indeed_o that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n computation_n be_v enjoin_v by_o humane_a law_n under_o a_o penalty_n to_o be_v keep_v solemn_a and_o sacred_a for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o positive_a command_n of_o god_n hold_v forth_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o by_o the_o example_n of_o god_n himself_o seem_v to_o intimate_v and_o command_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o lord_n people_n now_o the_o four_o commandment_n you_o say_v be_v of_o moral_a and_o perpetual_a obligation_n part_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o you_o say_v be_v a_o rule_n of_o life_n to_o a_o believer_n and_o every_o sunday_n we_o be_v teach_v after_o pronounce_v of_o this_o commandment_n to_o beg_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n for_o our_o breach_n of_o it_o and_o strength_n better_a to_o keep_v it_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v in_o that_o short_a ejaculation_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o inoline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n now_o it_o seem_v strange_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o a_o duty_n so_o seem_o contrary_a to_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o yet_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o acknowledge_v obedience_n to_o and_o beg_v god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o when_o as_o at_o that_o very_a time_n it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o open_o break_v it_o not_o keep_v that_o day_n which_o be_v there_o mention_v this_o i_o confess_v have_v be_v a_o scruple_n that_o have_v trouble_v the_o spirit_n of_o many_o and_o draw_v some_o into_o a_o practical_a error_n for_o satisfaction_n therefore_o of_o the_o scrupulous_a and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o conscionable_a observer_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n i_o shall_v labour_v to_o show_v you_o the_o indispensable_a obligation_n of_o it_o and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o have_v for_o my_o subject_a pitch_a my_o thought_n on_o the_o word_n of_o the_o commandment_n which_o seem_v to_o speak_v so_o much_o against_o it_o but_o before_o i_o have_v do_v i_o hope_v you_o will_v conclude_v with_o i_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o duty_n hold_v forth_o in_o the_o text_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a in_o speak_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v do_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o show_v you_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o celebrate_v that_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o that_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o manner_n how_o the_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v wherein_o the_o right_a and_o due_a observation_n of_o the_o day_n consist_v 3._o and_o last_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o reflection_n on_o the_o whole_a by_o application_n 1._o my_o first_o undertake_v shall_v be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o divine_a institution_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o celebrate_v that_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o that_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o true_o brethren_n this_o truth_n ought_v to_o be_v well_o settle_v and_o fix_v in_o our_o mind_n as_o that_o which_o will_v mighty_o persuade_v we_o to_o the_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n for_o if_o i_o apprehend_v it_o to_o be_v only_o of_o humane_a institution_n and_o the_o command_n of_o man_n how_o will_v it_o abate_v the_o value_n and_o esteem_v which_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v have_v for_o it_o strange_o lessen_v my_o veneration_n and_o reverence_n how_o will_v it_o damp_n my_o zeal_n and_o clip_v the_o wing_n of_o my_o rise_n and_o exult_a joy_n which_o will_v be_v the_o result_n of_o this_o consideration_n this_o be_v the_o day_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v the_o inference_n will_v then_o be_v easy_a and_o natural_a let_v we_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a in_o it_o sir_n whilst_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o
