such_o weak_a text_n as_o no_o man_n of_o note_n will_v make_v use_n of_o this_o way_n for_o to_o this_o purpose_n one_o m._n pot_n a_o ancient_a divine_a beiond_v the_o sea_n object_v this_o very_a

translate_v it_o make_v be_v the_o more_o fit_v in_o this_o place_n all_o our_o translator_n both_o old_a and_o new_a do_v bear_v i_o witness_v for_o they_o all_o render_v it_o make_v now_o if_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v make_v how_o will_v he_o prove_v that_o it_o must_v be_v translate_v sanctify_v for_o he_o must_v remember_v that_o it_o be_v his_o part_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n

2._o i_o answer_n he_o suppose_v it_o must_v be_v translate_v sanctify_v than_o i_o distinguish_v of_o sanctification_n of_o day_n some_o day_n be_v sanctify_v for_o sabbath_n for_o the_o church_n to_o rest_n on_o other_o some_o day_n be_v sanctify_v for_o other_o end_n as_o for_o some_o particular_a man_n use_n in_o the_o church_n as_o here_o in_o this_o text_n ps_n 118.24_o this_o day_n which_o the_o lord_n make_v or_o sanctify_v he_o make_v it_o or_o sanctify_v it_o for_o david_n use_n proper_o for_o the_o day_n wherein_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o so_o typical_o for_o chtist_n his_o use_n and_o for_o the_o day_n wherein_o he_o shall_v be_v honourable_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o lord_n day_n now_o this_o psalm_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o latter_a sense_n as_o he_o that_o have_v but_o half_a a_o eye_n may_v see_v how_o then_o will_v he_o prove_v that_o this_o lord_n day_n whereon_o christ_n rise_v be_v sanctify_v for_o the_o church_n to_o sanctify_v when_o it_o be_v sanctify_v for_o christ_n alone_o to_o rise_v in_o for_o this_o day_n be_v not_o sanctify_v for_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o people_n but_o for_o christ_n alone_o not_o for_o the_o church_n to_o rest_v on_o but_o for_o christ_n to_o rise_v on_o 3._o i_o answer_v by_o a_o other_o distinction_n the_o word_n day_n be_v some_o time_n take_v in_o scripture_n for_o a_o short_a &_o ordinary_a day_n of_o 12._o hour_n or_o the_o like_a and_o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o a_o long_a space_n of_o time_n contain_v many_o day_n week_n month_n or_o year_n as_o

more_o hour_n or_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n 4._o i_o answer_v say_v the_o word_n day_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o short_a day_n then_o let_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o this_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o a_o weekly_a day_n as_o of_o every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o may_v be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o a_o yearly_a day_n only_o as_o of_o easter_n day_n since_o on_o that_o day_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o if_o it_o be_v no_o otherwise_o how_o will_v they_o do_v for_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o every_o lord_n day_n 5._o i_o answer_v that_o this_o psalm_n can_v be_v a_o prophecy_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o day_n wherein_o christ_n be_v to_o rise_v shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o i_o prove_v because_o christ_n keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n or_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n when_o it_o come_v as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o as_o a_o work_v day_n for_o he_o travail_v up_o and_o down_o too_o and_o fro_o on_o that_o day_n and_o so_o do_v his_o disciple_n yea_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v ignorant_a that_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n for_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v but_o sorrow_v &_o weep_v all_o the_o day_n long_o until_o it_o be_v never_o night_n and_o so_o can_v not_o keep_v it_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n these_o thing_n have_v be_v prove_v already_o now_o have_v this_o psalm_n be_v a_o prophecy_n that_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n whereon_o christ_n rise_v shall_v have_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n christ_n must_v have_v keep_v this_o day_n together_o with_o his_o disciple_n as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o christ_n must_v fulfil_v all_o thing_n prophesy_v of_o he_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o answer_n to_o this_o abuse_a text_n of_o scripture_n sect_n vi_o thus_o we_o have_v answer_v the_o scripture_n which_o they_o abuse_v &_o bring_v out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o come_v unto_o those_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n abuse_v they_o also_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o text_n act._n 2.1.14_o etc._n etc._n where_o peter_n preach_v

therefore_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n here_o unto_o i_o answer_v and_o in_o answer_v i_o must_v be_v the_o large_a because_o in_o this_o text_n they_o put_v great_a

what_o will_v you_o have_v more_o say_v mr._n gallard_n admit_v that_o this_o pentecost_n day_n be_v our_o lord_n day_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v only_o our_o lord_n day_n which_o we_o call_v

answer_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v but_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v by_o they_o that_o this_o pentecost_n day_n whereon_o peter_n preach_v be_v that_o year_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o

10_o commandment_n that_o be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n god_n have_v express_o command_v it_o to_o be_v do_v in_o his_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o

because_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o do_v the_o point_n than_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o god_n have_v command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o come_v &_o here_o first_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o two_o that_o this_o sabbath_n day_n be_v the_o seven_o

it_o be_v the_o seven_o &_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n &_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v first_o by_o humane_a testimony_n two_o by_o divine_a testimony_n for_o humane_a

before_o the_o law_n at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n &_o after_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 1._o before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n see_v exod_a 16.26_o six_o day_n shall_v you_o gather_v

after_o christ_n death_n as_o you_o may_v see_v mat._n 28.1_o mark_n 16.1.2_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v god_n and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n understod_a the_o seven_o &_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n &_o so_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v that_o god_n command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_n law_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n the_o proof_n of_o this_o will_v cost_v i_o long_o time_n than_o the_o former_a not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o former_a but_o that_o man_n of_o perverse_a mind_n have_v wilful_o bend_v their_o wites_z &_o learning_n against_o it_o as_o they_o have_v do_v against_o the_o former_a but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n truth_n shall_v prevail_v god_n assist_v it_o the_o point_n then_o that_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n or_o 10_o commandment_n it_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o now_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o obey_v if_o they_o deny_v this_o major_n than_o i_o require_v they_o to_o give_v i_o a_o instance_n to_o the_o contrary_a let_v they_o show_v i_o where_o god_n have_v command_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n which_o be_v abolish_v &_o not_o in_o force_n now_o remember_v that_o they_o bring_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n for_o their_o instance_n 2._o happy_o they_o will_v answer_v by_o lymitation_n &_o distinguish_v and_o so_o deny_v some_o part_n of_o this_o major_n for_o example_n sometime_o they_o distinguish_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o commandment_n &_o of_o the_o accident_n grant_v those_o deny_v these_o by_o substance_n they_o understand_v that_o which_o they_o please_v to_o make_v moral_a in_o the_o decalogue_n as_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v &_o the_o holy_a actiones_fw-la of_o prayer_n reading_z &_o preach_v

but_o this_o be_v a_o foolish_a distinction_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o vile_a in_o that_o it_o be_v make_v against_o god_n for_o have_v not_o god_n as_o well_o command_v the_o accident_n &_o time_n as_o the_o substance_n and_o rest_v &_o be_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o obey_v god_n in_o one_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o other_o for_o the_o one_o be_v as_o well_o command_v as_o the_o other_o do_v they_o distinguish_v between_o thing_n command_v &_o thing_n not_o command_v it_o be_v tolerable_a but_o they_o distinguish_v of_o thing_n all_o of_o they_o command_v as_o between_o great_a commandment_n and_o little_a commandment_n the_o one_o they_o cale_fw-la substance_n the_o other_o accident_n now_o the_o great_a commandment_n which_o they_o cale_fw-la substance_n

commandment_n they_o will_v obey_v but_o as_o for_o his_o lesser_a commandment_n these_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v &_o that_o because_o they_o be_v little_a and_o light_n in_o their_o esteem_n but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v they_o a_o other_o lesson_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v break_v one_o of_o these_o least_o commandment_n he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o least_o in_o the_o

of_o which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v that_o no_o distinction_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v whereby_o any_o thing_n enjoin_v in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v deny_v i_o thus_o further_o prove_v it_o 1._o this_o be_v a_o position_n so_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o all_o god_n 10_o commandment_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o obedience_n of_o they_o &_o be_v still_o in_o force_n now_o if_o it_o be_v

then_o very_a papist_n in_o this_o point_n &_o great_a patroness_n and_o maintainer_n of_o superstition_n &_o will_v worship_v wherefore_o let_v they_o reform_v themselves_o or_o else_o let_v they_o

be_v because_o we_o shall_v all_o lose_v our_o labour_n in_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n we_o shall_v labour_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o we_o like_o servant_n will_v be_v do_v of_o

they_o so_o to_o do_v rather_o than_o to_o labour_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n &_o many_o other_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n very_o strict_o both_o private_o &_o public_o erroneous_o mispersuade_v that_o

appoint_v it_o neither_o will_n god_n or_o christ_n ever_o reward_v it_o nay_o god_n may_v answer_v they_o thus_o who_o require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n isai_n 1.12_o my_o three_o reason_n

their_o frivolouse_a consequence_n as_o they_o vain_o pretend_v to_o be_v necessary_a consequence_n let_v minister_n think_v of_o this_o &_o that_o serious_o too_o &_o let_v they_o do_v it_o in_o

that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n or_o sabbath_n day_n in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v mean_v all_o sabbath_n day_n universal_o &_o general_o &_o so_o if_o all_o sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v than_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n also_o be_v abolish_v hereunto_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o law_n moral_a &_o a_o law_n ceremonial_a now_o when_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o law_n of_o commandment_n ephe._n 2.15_o &_o again_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n heb._n 7.12_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v press_v these_o text_n to_o

but_o not_o the_o law_n moral_a so_o may_v i_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o moral_a

yearly_a sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v never_o write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n levit._n 23.24.39_o now_o this_o their_o text_n may_v be_v understod_a only_o of_o these_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o not_o of_o the_o moral_a &_o weekly_a sabbath_n &_o thus_o be_v these_o two_o scripture_n exod._n 20.8_o &_o col._n 2.16_o reconcile_a and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o all_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v in_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o all_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n that_o all_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v for_o there_o be_v a_o all_o of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v many_o so_o then_o we_o may_v understand_v this_o text_n to_o abolish_v all_o sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v the_o generality_n of_o all_o yearly_a sabbath_n since_o there_o

declare_v by_o the_o word_n day_n whither_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o natural_a day_n or_o a_o artificial_a day_n or_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o day_n conci_v of_o many_o year_n as_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o one_o so_o for_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o their_o first_o evasion_n an_o other_o evasion_n they_o have_v &_o it_o be_v this_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v they_o be_v not_o a_o commandment_n but_o a_o permission_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v six_o day_n may_v thou_o labour_v if_o thou_o will_v hereunto_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o these_o word_n be_v a_o express_a commandment_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o for_o they_o be_v deliver_v in_o command_a term_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o this_o point_n i_o have_v former_o prove_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v therefore_o here_o i_o omit_v to_o repeat_v it_o 2._o admit_v that_o these_o word_n be_v but_o a_o permission_n yet_o so_o they_o will_v make_v enough_o for_o my_o purpose_n &_o that_o thus_o for_o if_o god_n do_v in_o his_o four_o come_v permit_v we_o and_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v in_o those_o 6_o day_n wherein_o himself_o wrought_v at_o the_o creation_n then_o can_v any_o wise_a man_n think_v that_o god_n will_v in_o the_o very_a same_o commandment_n forbid_v we_o to_o labour_v in_o some_o one_o of_o those_o 6_o day_n unlese_v you_o will_v think_v that_o god_n permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o a_o day_n and_o revoke_v his_o permission_n again_o and_o all_o under_o one_o breath_n wherefore_o see_v that_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o work_v by_o his_o four_o come_v upon_o all_o those_o 6_o day_n which_o go_v before_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o our_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o sabbath_n day_n from_o the_o four_o come_v we_o must_v betake_v we_o to_o the_o seven_o day_n our_o saturday_n the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n &_o that_o because_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o work_v upon_o any_o day_n save_o the_o saturday_n thus_o much_o for_o my_o four_o argument_n argum_fw-la v._o my_o 5_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o come_v or_o a_o part_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o 10_o commandment_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o enforce_v i_o have_v purposely_o frame_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o do_v so_o dote_v upon_o this_o fiction_n that_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o accident_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o other_o trivall_a thing_n they_o make_v of_o it_o but_o say_v they_o if_o it_o can_v be_v once_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o this_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n or_o of_o the_o four_o come_v then_o will_v we_o soon_o embrace_v it_o well_o they_o shall_v see_v it_o therefore_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n because_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n then_o of_o necessity_n the_o part_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v in_o force_n this_o follow_v necessary_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o logicianes_n posito_fw-la aut_fw-la remoto_fw-la

minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n &_o here_o i_o prove_v that_o to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o

but_o in_o command_a term_n &_o so_o be_v this_o for_o the_o lord_n say_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n where_o you_o

the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o
miracle_n for_o this_o purpose_n ij_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o to_o magnify_v &_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o perform_v this_o better_a then_o by_o keep_v of_o a_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o god_n work_n of_o wonder_n the_o other_o be_v that_o this_o miracle_n of_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o many_o other_o miracle_n for_o that_o of_o the_o divide_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o concern_v the_o isralite_n only_a and_o that_o of_o the_o sun_n its_o stand_v still_o it_o concern_v these_o time_n only_o but_o as_o for_o this_o of_o the_o creation_n it_o concern_v we_o &_o our_o time_n every_o way_n as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v the_o isralite_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n among_o we_o but_o have_v its_o share_n &_o benefit_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o those_o jew_n have_v and_o therefore_o we_o in_o these_o day_n &_o all_o people_n to_o this_o world_n end_n have_v and_o shall_v have_v as_o good_a cause_n to_o keep_v a_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o ever_o any_o nation_n or_o people_n

shall_v grante_v indeed_o that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o keep_v a_o holy_a remembrance_n of_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o yet_o to_o deny_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o church_n which_o serve_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n thereof_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v to_o eparate_v the_o mean_n from_o the_o end_n than_o the_o which_o nothing_o be_v more_o absurd_a wherefore_o as_o we_o will_v approve_v &_o testify_v our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n as_o the_o creation_n be_v unto_o we_o and_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o give_v god_n

&_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 it_o be_v think_v that_o some_o of_o the_o primitive_a church_n shall_v be_v so_o zealouse_a as_o to_o keep_v two_o day_n &_o other_o some_o so_o key_n can_v as_o to_o keep_v none_o at_o at_o all_o 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

of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v

for_o a_o season_n 2._o my_o answer_n shall_v be_v that_o i_o keep_v not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o i_o can_v keep_v it_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o i_o now_o i_o can_v keep_v it_o 1._o because_o

of_o this_o i_o may_v say_v as_o christ_n say_v you_o have_v make_v the_o commandment_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o tradition_n god_n say_v in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o work_v i_o say_v they_o

day_n the_o word_n sabbath_n it_o signify_v a_o rest_n and_o do_v we_o not_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n why_o we_o have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n already_o we_o keep_v it_o every_o week_n so_o

the_o lord_n day_n why_o do_v i_o not_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n on_o saturday_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o four_o commandment_n say_v the_o seven_o day_n
