some_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v premit_v as_o 1._o that_o god_n have_v think_v good_a always_o to_o add_v sacrament_n to_o his_o covenant_n thus_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n have_v its_o sacrament_n adam_n have_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n for_o a_o sacrament_n to_o confirm_v he_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o covenant_n so_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o all_o its_o administration_n have_v

in_o respect_n of_o our_o use_n make_v of_o it_o yet_o as_o all_o covenant_n have_v some_o essential_o in_o which_o they_o agree_v to_o wit_n a_o promise_n and_o a_o restipulation_n so_o all_o

in_o circumstantial_o as_o the_o covenant_n itself_o under_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n do_v but_o in_o essential_o they_o agree_v for_o they_o seal_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o manner_n four_o there_o be_v some_o chief_a thing_n common_a to_o all_o sacrament_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o one_o administration_n as_o for_o example_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o agree_v both_o
first_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o feast_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n meaning_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v pray_v that_o their_o flight_n may_v not_o be_v on_o any_o of_o the_o jewish_a holy_a day_n to_o mention_v the_o weekly_a sabbath_n only_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o end_n to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v for_o fear_n of_o scandal_n that_o they_o shall_v pray_v not_o to_o be_v put_v to_o fly_v will_v not_o remove_v the_o former_a reason_n beside_o at_o that_o time_n the_o apostle_n and_o other_o christian_n have_v give_v up_o with_o the_o jew_n and_o stand_v not_o on_o scandal_n in_o such_o thing_n in_o reference_n to_o they_o on_o who_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o th●s_n 2._o 16._o wrath_n have_v come_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o who_o be_v not_o infirm_a but_o malicious_a and_o so_o in_o respect_n of_o offence_n to_o be_v deal_v with_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v with_o the_o pharisee_n and_o therefore_o all_o thing_n be_v consider_v it_o appear_v from_o our_o lord_n word_n that_o a_o sabbath_n among_o christian_n be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v 40._o year_n or_o thereabouts_o after_o his_o death_n which_o prove_v that_o the_o scripture_n mention_v a_o

moral_a and_o bind_a may_v be_v make_v out_o these_o two_o wave_n 1._o all_o of_o they_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v alike_o authority_n privilege_n and_o prerogative_n which_o neither_o the_o

for_o which_o we_o will_v look_v first_o to_o that_o place_n matth._n 5._o 17._o where_o our_o lord_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n intend_v to_o vindicate_v the_o moral_a law_n of_o this_o four_o and_o

be_v a_o special_a communion_n in_o worship_v of_o god_n among_o the_o several_a relation_n of_o a_o family_n 4._o we_o gather_v that_o magistrate_n and_o all_o who_o have_v power_n over_o other_o
