so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_v the_o apostle_n be_v speak_v of_o such_o commandment_n as_o be_v contain_v in_o ordinance_n and_o not_o those_o commandment_n that_o be_v so_o eminent_o distinguish_v

and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o blame_n either_o of_o they_o answ_n i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o if_o the_o controversy_n here_o have_v be_v about_o the_o sabbath_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v or_o no_o but_o it_o will_v have_v be_v plain_o express_v and_o not_o pass_v over_o so_o slight_o but_o the_o apostle_n be_v speak_v of_o indifferent_a thing_n which_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v for_o their_o do_v or_o not_o do_v and_o not_o of_o commandment_n but_o because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o some_o esteem_v every_o day_n alike_o therefore_o some_o conclude_v that_o this_o take_v in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o we_o must_v compare_v scripture_n with_o scripture_n and_o find_v out_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o may_v bring_v they_o into_o a_o harmony_n and_o sometime_o interpret_v general_a term_n by_o restrictive_a scripture_n for_o instance_n christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n we_o must_v understand_v it_o thus_o to_o every_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o nothing_o to_o be_v refuse_v now_o some_o be_v poison_n and_o be_v to_o be_v refuse_v but_o his_o meaning_n be_v every_o creature_n that_o be_v eatable_a be_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v refuse_v so_o here_o every_o day_n be_v alike_o that_o be_v every_o work_a day_n which_o god_n have_v make_v alike_o but_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o have_v sanctify_v and_o make_v it_o a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n and_o so_o not_o like_o the_o other_o and_o this_o interpretation_n be_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n exod._n 16.4_o behold_v i_o will_v rain_v bread_n from_o heaven_n for_o you_o and_o the_o people_n shall_v go_v out_o and_o gather_v a_o certain_a rate_n every_o day_n and_o in_o verse_n 12._o they_o gather_v every_o morning_n every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o eat_n yet_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o be_v none_o to_o gather_v and_o in_o our_o common_a speech_n it_o be_v so_o we_o call_v the_o six_o day_n every_o day_n man_n say_v we_o work_v every_o day_n or_o we_o travil_v so_o far_o every_o day_n when_o they_o mean_v only_o the_o six_o day_n that_o they_o count_v work_v day_n so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o they_o that_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n speak_v in_o the_o same_o language_n and_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o think_v otherwise_o for_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o we_o find_v before_o this_o that_o have_v any_o seem_a dislike_n against_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n

4.10_o 11._o answ_n this_o can_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o strike_v at_o the_o mere_a observation_n of_o day_n a_o thing_n of_o such_o dangerous_a consequence_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o judge_v that_o observe_v one_o day_n above_o another_o in_o rom._n 14.5_o 6._o and_o in_o this_o place_n he_o himself_o judge_v these_o as_o person_n that_o have_v so_o far_o
