will_v have_v the_o choice_n and_o settle_v of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o to_o depend_v on_o their_o liberty_n and_o leave_v that_o to_o their_o zeal_n and_o wisdom_n even_o as_o it_o be_v their_o great_a prerogative_n that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o free_a from_o all_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n which_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v love_v they_o more_o and_o will_v not_o use_v they_o rigid_o as_o little_a child_n or_o servant_n but_o as_o child_n of_o a_o ripe_a age_n and_o as_o a_o willing_a people_n 28_o so_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o although_o the_o four_o commandment_n oblige_v we_o always_o to_o appoint_v a_o ordinary_a day_n for_o god_n service_n yet_o no_o solid_a thing_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o word_n thereof_o to_o prove_v the_o

to_o mistake_v he_o if_o by_o the_o sabbath_n day_n his_o intention_n be_v to_o denote_v another_o day_n than_o the_o last_o of_o the_o week_n because_o this_o alone_o carry_v that_o name_n neither_o

christ_n do_v handie-work_n without_o necessity_n and_o command_v servile_a work_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n without_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o moral_a 8_o christ_n as_o

in_o the_o four_o commandment_n concern_v which_o rest_n see_v he_o exclude_v it_o not_o the_o hebrew_n may_v have_v reply_v unto_o he_o that_o god_n understand_v and_o denote_v it_o in_o that_o

that_o god_n speak_v there_o of_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n and_o not_o of_o any_o other_o 4_o to_o all_o this_o reason_n which_o to_o some_o that_o make_v use_v of_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o great_a

question_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v ordain_v to_o man_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n above_o cite_v ver_fw-la 3._o &_o 4._o speak_v not_o express_o of_o any_o rest_n ordain_v to_o man_n nor_o that_o man_n have_v at_o that_o time_n enter_v into_o any_o rest_n nay_o he_o make_v no_o mention_n that_o god_n have_v bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o say_v that_o god_n do_v rest_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o soon_o as_o his_o work_n be_v finish_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o his_o scope_n to_o teach_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v keep_v by_o man_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o for_o that_o cause_n god_n can_v not_o understand_v it_o when_o in_o the_o day_n of_o david_n he_o speak_v to_o the_o israelite_n of_o a_o new_a entrance_n into_o his_o rest_n for_o if_o he_o have_v propound_v to_o himself_o that_o end_n doubtless_o he_o have_v utter_v it_o in_o more_o express_a term_n at_o least_o he_o have_v rather_o cite_v these_o word_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o hallow_v it_o which_o have_v manifest_o be_v more_o unto_o the_o purpose_n than_o these_o other_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n
although_o that_o howbeit_o he_o have_v allege_v they_o no_o man_n can_v necessary_o infer_v from_o thence_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o intention_n whereas_o his_o mention_v only_o of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o his_o omit_v of_o the_o blessing_n and_o hallow_v thereof_o which_o follow_v immediate_o in_o the_o text_n show_v he_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v not_o practise_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o that_o also_o his_o mind_n be_v to_o speak_v direct_o of_o god_n rest_n only_o and_o to_o show_v as_o a_o thing_n most_o evident_a that_o that_o rest_n see_v it_o be_v past_a and_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o enter_v into_o it_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n so_o long_o after_o make_v by_o david_n to_o the_o faithful_a of_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n hebr._n 1._o ver_fw-la 1_o 3._o which_o promise_n be_v include_v in_o the_o threat_n that_o unbeliever_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n but_o another_o rest_n to_o wit_n a_o spiritual_a rest_n prepare_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o heaven_n whereof_o that_o rest_n of_o god_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v as_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n 5_o which_o god_n give_v they_o to_o understand_v when_o he_o cause_v moses_n to_o observe_v in_o the_o description_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o creation_n that_o 5_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n conformable_o whereunto_o he_o command_v the_o jew_n to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o to_o rest_v on_o it_o as_o he_o have_v rest_v that_o it_o may_v be_v unto_o they_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o may_v grant_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v also_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n ordain_v to_o man_n and_o exclude_v it_o out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o threat_n but_o indirect_o and_o by_o consequence_n only_o for_o as_o much_o as_o affirm_v that_o even_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n himself_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n after_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o work_n be_v not_o understand_v in_o the_o foresay_a threat_n when_o god_n denounce_v it_o by_o david_n we_o may_v infer_v from_o thence_o that_o likewise_o the_o rest_n ordain_v to_o man_n be_v not_o understand_v in_o it_o not_o because_o this_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o that_o for_o in_o such_o a_o asseveration_n there_o be_v no_o consequence_n but_o because_o that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o to_o the_o israelite_n and_o this_o have_v a_o great_a sway_n when_o god_n give_v that_o warning_n with_o such_o a_o threat_n as_o well_o as_o that_o albeit_o not_o of_o so_o long_a a_o date_n 6_o to_o confirm_v that_o i_o say_v serve_v the_o ten_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 6_o that_o he_o that_o be_v enter_v into_o god_n rest_n have_v also_o rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_n as_o god_n do_v also_o from_o his_o the_o meaning_n of_o which_o word_n be_v that_o they_o which_o

whereby_o the_o apostle_n signify_v that_o god_n in_o his_o own_o rest_n establish_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n which_o he_o will_v confer_v upon_o man_n whereof_o he_o give_v they_o

in_o the_o mountain_n of_o sina_n with_o so_o many_o evidence_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o write_v it_o with_o his_o finger_n upon_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n which_o he_o give_v to_o moses_n and_o

it_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o it_o comprehend_v for_o they_o may_v prove_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n that_o in_o these_o time_n under_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v a_o tabernacle_n or_o temple_n like_o unto_o that_o which_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o old_a and_o to_o observe_v the_o same_o service_n which_o they_o observe_v in_o it_o because_o god_n in_o the_o same_o mountain_n with_o much_o majesty_n show_v the_o pattern_n thereof_o to_o moses_n and_o command_v he_o to_o make_v it_o after_o that_o pattern_n whereas_o much_o
in_o some_o other_o place_n without_o house_n or_o temple_n as_o the_o christian_n be_v force_v to_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o primitive_a persecution_n in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o the_o church_n this_o suffice_v and_o no_o more_o be_v require_v as_o moral_a it_o be_v only_o the_o decency_n and_o commodity_n which_o oblige_v we_o to_o have_v house_n and_o temple_n build_v express_o for_o god_n service_n for_o these_o reason_n god_n will_v not_o make_v mention_n in_o the_o decalogue_n at_o a_o particular_a place_n as_o he_o do_v of_o a_o time_n stint_v for_o his_o service_n 19_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o another_o objection_n when_o they_o say_v that_o god_n may_v as_o well_o have_v put_v in_o the_o decalogue_n thou_o shall_v keep_v the_o new_a moon_n or_o the_o yearly_a feast_n as_o the_o sabbath_n day_n because_o that_o command_n as_o well_o as_o this_o have_v teach_v we_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o time_n appoint_v and_o stint_v for_o god_n service_n for_o i_o deny_v that_o such_o a_o command_n can_v have_v teach_v we_o this_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o because_o such_o day_n be_v rare_a and_o return_v only_o from_o month_n to_o month_n or_o from_o year_n to_o year_n have_v not_o teach_v we_o the_o convenient_a and_o suitable_a frequency_n of_o god_n public_a service_n as_o do_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o return_v weekly_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o frequent_a yea_o more_o holy_a and_o venerable_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o festival_n day_n ordain_v of_o god_n under_o the_o law_n he_o make_v mention_n of_o it_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n rather_o than_o of_o they_o wherein_o god_n have_v observe_v a_o way_n like_o unto_o that_o which_o he_o have_v keep_v in_o the_o other_o commandment_n which_o be_v to_o set_v down_o a_o principal_a head_n under_o which_o he_o comprise_v all_o other_o point_n that_o have_v relation_n unto_o it_o wherefore_o as_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n he_o forbid_v to_o make_v
