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

at_o a_o other_o time_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o the_o more_o likely_a that_o we_o be_v tie_v only_o to_o the_o day_n natural_a in_o winter_n though_o it_o be_v short_a then_o than_o the_o other_o

answer_n usual_o bring_v against_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o paul_n do_v keep_v sabbath_n here_o with_o the_o jew_n to_o bear_v with_o their_o weakness_n for_o a_o time_n and_o as_o he_o do_v judaize_v it_o by_o circumcision_n of_o timothy_n here_o unto_o i_o say_v 1._o it_o appear_v he_o do_v not_o keep_v sabbath_n only_o for_o the_o jew_n sake_n for_o than_o will_v he_o not_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n with_o the_o gentile_n as_o he_o do_v 2._o be_v it_o a_o weakness_n in_o the_o jew_n to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o a_o moral_a precept_n to_o the_o 4_o com_n 3._o the_o thing_n wherein_o proper_o paul_n be_v say_v to_o judaize_v be_v ceremonial_a thing_n stand_v in_o force_n by_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o circumcision_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o thing_n stand_v in_o force_n by_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o do_v the_o sabbath_n day_n performance_n of_o these_o be_v no_o judaize_v but_o moralize_v if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v a_o 3_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n must_v take_v such_o day_n as_o they_o find_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n then_o or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o preach_v and_o divulge_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o jew_n than_o will_v assemble_v on_o no_o day_n but_o the_o sabbath_n here_o unto_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n can_v make_v know_v the_o gospel_n though_o they_o have_v never_o frequent_v the_o jew_n usual_a assembly_n for_o the_o apostle_n teach_v and_o preach_v christ_n in_o private_a house_n from_o house_n to_o house_n act._n 5.42_o and_o when_o paul_n forsake_v preach_v in_o the_o synagogue_n he_o teach_v else_o where_o as_o in_o the_o school_n of_o one_o tyrannus_n and_o there_o frequent_v he_o both_o jew_n and_o grecian_n act._n 19.9.10_o yea_o paul_n can_v assemble_v the_o jew_n themselves_o upon_o occasion_n &_o the_o very_a chief_a of_o they_o refuse_v not_o to_o assemble_v at_o his_o call_v act._n 28.17.20_o wherefore_o necessity_n compel_v he_o not_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n with_o they_o to_o make_v a_o more_o full_a answer_n to_o those_o common_a objection_n which_o they_o bring_v against_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n one_o of_o which_o main_a objection_n be_v that_o fore_o speak_v of_o to_o this_o effect_n true_a the_o apostle_n practise_v the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n but_o it_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n not_o among_o the_o

they_o be_v do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v all_o their_o action_n among_o jew_n but_o of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n if_o such_o objection_n be_v lawful_a if_o a_o preacher_n confirm_v his_o

for_o instance_n suppose_v this_o the_o doctrine_n minister_n must_v preach_v constant_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n now_o after_o it_o be_v prove_v etc._n etc._n then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n act._n 13.14.44_o act._n 17.2_o act._n 18.4_o be_v it_o tolerable_a for_o a_o auditor_n to_o cavil_n thus_o oh_o this_o it_o dience_n and_o reference_n unto_o some_o of_o those_o commandment_n the_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n but_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n till_o the_o jew_n be_v better_o instruct_v the_o which_o if_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o keep_v the_o jew_n will_v never_o have_v hear_v they_o preach_v of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n here_o unto_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n presuppose_v now_o as_o grant_v two_o false_a supposition_n the_o one_o that_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o if_o they_o can_v have_v avoid_v it_o have_v keep_v this_o sabbath_n the_o other_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v needless_o religiouse_a make_v conscience_n of_o this_o sabbath_n now_o when_o they_o need_v not_o for_o the_o former_a for_o any_o thus_o to_o imagine_v or_o say_v be_v growndlesse_a for_o where_o have_v any_o of_o the_o apostle_n declare_v themselves_o any_o enemy_n to_o the_o moral_a sabbath_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v they_o have_v rather_o not_o to_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n then_o to_o have_v keep_v it_o for_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v true_a of_o circumcision_n it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o jew_n be_v needlesse_o religious_a and_o careful_a of_o it_o because_o we_o find_v the_o apostle_n inveigh_v against_o it_o galat._n 5.2_o but_o how_o can_v we_o say_v so_o of_o the_o jew_n as_o touch_v the_o sabbath_n day_n since_o we_o no_o where_n find_v the_o apostle_n inveigh_v against_o it_o or_o reprehend_v the_o jew_n for_o keep_v it_o as_o they_o do_v for_o circumcision_n the_o main_a error_n in_o these_o objection_n be_v that_o they_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v not_o grant_v that_o be_v suppose_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o 10._o commandment_n to_o be_v a_o ceremony_n as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n and_o that_o so_o it_o be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n as_o else_o where_o i_o have_v large_o show_v nay_o far_o for_o any_o to_o say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o ceremony_n or_o that_o any_o word_n or_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n or_o 10._o commandment_n be_v ceremonial_a be_v no_o better_a than_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n law_n and_o truth_n &_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v constant_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o apostolical_a practice_n the_o which_o proof_n i_o have_v make_v to_o this_o end_n that_o you_o may_v see_v we_o have_v better_a ground_n for_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n
