for_o the_o eat_n and_o consume_v of_o meat_n but_o that_o in_o enjoy_v the_o comforr_n of_o god_n his_o creature_n he_o may_v praise_v the_o lord_n the_o more_o free_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n hereof_o just_o gather_v that_o therefore_o on_o this_o day_n he_o may_v fill_v himself_o with_o meat_n as_o he_o lust_v because_o that_o be_v rather_o to_o unable_a than_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n again_o we_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o labour_n that_o be_v the_o commodity_n that_o come_v by_o labour_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o the_o labour_n but_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o by_o labour_n in_o his_o lawful_a call_n he_o may_v gain_v to_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o see_v the_o rest_n be_v appoint_v only_o but_o as_o mean_n whereby_o man_n may_v the_o more_o fit_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o disciple_n do_v eat_v this_o corn_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o fit_a thereunto_o it_o be_v manifest_a they_o do_v not_o violate_v the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o sabbath_n beside_o though_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v figurative_a yet_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v for_o the_o bare_a use_n of_o the_o element_n although_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o to_o use_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n in_o pureness_n and_o holiness_n for_o the_o further_o strengthen_v of_o our_o faith_n be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a and_o most_o principal_a duty_n of_o man_n how_o be_v it_o in_o respect_n they_o be_v but_o mean_n and_o be_v to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o end_n to_o the_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o though_o the_o congregation_n be_v busy_a either_o in_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v or_o

preach_n wherefore_o in_o all_o these_o reason_n we_o may_v see_v how_o christ_n do_v show_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o perverse_o do_v stand_v in_o the_o ceremony_n and_o do_v not_o abrogate_v the_o sabbath_n here_o then_o be_v a_o far_o contrary_a argument_n to_o that_o which_o these_o man_n affirm_v for_o see_v our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v in_o one_o word_n have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v

abuse_n of_o the_o sabbath_n than_o affirm_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o man_n do_v surmise_v to_o these_o former_a reason_n we_o may_v add_v that_o which_o be_v matth._n 24._o 20._o pray_o that_o your_o flight_n be_v argument_n not_o in_o the_o winter_n neither_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n this_o say_v they_o show_v that_o the_o persecution_n of_o jerusalem_n shall_v be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_a to_o the_o jew_n if_o it_o fall_v on_o the_o sabbath_n because_o than_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o fly_v so_o that_o if_o they_o stay_v they_o be_v

as_o now_o it_o be_v when_o christ_n speak_v unto_o they_o but_o at_o such_o time_n as_o man_n shall_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n without_o all_o shadow_n and_o figure_n when_o christ_n shall_v be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n as_o indeed_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v so_o that_o this_o shall_v increase_v the_o grief_n of_o so_o many_o as_o sincere_o worship_v the_o lord_n that_o

they_o shall_v sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n they_o will_v sigh_v and_o howl_v to_o see_v the_o open_a despite_n of_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n in_o respect_n of_o which_o miserable_a calamity_n our_o saviour_n christ_n foreshow_v the_o woeful_a estate_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o those_o day_n of_o they_o which_o be_v with_o child_n and_o give_v suck_v for_o though_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o

wherefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o christ_n neither_o mean_v that_o every_o day_n shall_v be_v alike_o for_o than_o he_o will_v not_o distinct_o have_v point_v at_o this_o day_n neither_o do_v
