the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a this_o be_v the_o four_o commandment_n the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v the_o day_n that_o god_n rest_v on_o and_o the_o day_n that_o we_o be_v to_o rest_v

to_o we_o as_o he_o do_v according_a to_o they_o 2._o second_o we_o see_v plain_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o the_o commandment_n which_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o whole_a world_n but_o only_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n i_o have_v bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o

be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o deliverance_n that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o hell_n and_o sin_n and_o satan_n as_o they_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n but_o literal_o these_o word_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o commandment_n be_v this_o thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o so_o it_o be_v for_o the_o four_o commandment_n again_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o five_o commandment_n that_o do_v not_o concern_v we_o but_o only_o they_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n etc._n etc._n that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o in_o the_o land_n which_o the_o thy_o god_n give_v thou_o that_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v mean_v particular_o of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n this_o then_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o commandment_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n so_o that_o the_o first_o word_n be_v the_o commandment_n and_o the_o latter_a part_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n so_o deut._n 5._o 14._o the_o four_o commandment_n it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n thus_o remember_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a for_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n thou_o nor_o

than_o it_o follow_v remember_v thou_o be_v a_o servant_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n here_o you_o see_v the_o jew_n have_v another_o argument_n beside_o the_o argument_n that_o we_o have_v but_o though_o we_o have_v not_o that_o argument_n yet_o the_o commandment_n stand_v still_o and_o the_o commandment_n be_v only_o thus_o much_o namely_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o seven_o day_n and_o that_o seven_o day_n god_n rest_v upon_o now_o whereas_o the_o jew_n keep_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o be_v only_o by_o a_o temporary_a commandment_n because_o the_o make_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v then_o do_v and_o god_n rest_v from_o that_o upon_o that_o day_n but_o now_o if_o god_n work_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o create_v of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_n from_o that_o then_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o be_v to_o keep_v that_o day_n holy_a upon_o which_o he_o rest_v from_o that_o work_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o eight_o proposition_n that_o church_n this_o four_o commandment_n concern_v a_o sabbath_n day_n concern_v the_o keep_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n holy_a it_o be_v a_o continual_a commandment_n always_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o will_v prove_v it_o by_o divers_a argument_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o continue_v only_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v to_o abide_v always_o in_o the_o church_n to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n there_o be_v not_o a_o jot_n of_o ceremony_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n do_v institute_v 1._o the_o sabbath_n before_o there_o be_v any_o room_n for_o ceremony_n it_o be_v command_v to_o adam_n in_o his_o innocency_n now_o all_o ceremony_n do_v prefigure_v christ_n and_o before_o adam_n fall_v there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n nor_o no_o need_n of_o it_o and_o so_o no_o need_n of_o a_o figure_n to_o represent_v it_o but_o before_o adam_n fall_v the_o sabbath_n be_v prescribe_v gen._n 2._o 2_o 3._o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n rest_v from_o all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v so_o that_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o so_o that_o you_o see_v god_n have_v rest_v upon_o this_o day_n he_o sanctify_v it_o and_o put_v holiness_n upon_o it_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o name_v that_o common_a which_o he_o have_v name_v holy_a now_o though_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o adam_n keep_v this_o day_n nor_o abel_n nor_o enoch_n nor_o noah_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o isaac_n nor_o jacob_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o keep_v for_o moses_n do_v not_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o set_v down_o the_o action_n of_o the_o father_n but_o only_o general_o for_o you_o see_v what_o a_o short_a story_n we_o have_v of_o methushelah_n a_o good_a man_n though_o he_o live_v a_o thousand_o year_n almost_o yet_o we_o have_v scarce_o three_o syllable_n concern_v he_o now_o since_o moses_n do_v not_o undertake_v to_o set_v down_o all_o that_o they_o do_v therefore_o they_o may_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n though_o he_o do_v not_o set_v it_o down_o neither_o

therefore_o see_v god_n do_v institute_n it_n to_o adam_n in_o his_o innocency_n that_o be_v enough_o but_o what_o though_o the_o father_n have_v not_o keep_v it_o holy_a do_v it_o therefore_o

the_o breach_n of_o this_o day_n second_o again_o the_o lord_n have_v seal_v this_o in_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n for_o who_o be_v they_o that_o break_v this_o day_n but_o lose_v and_o

they_o delight_n in_o this_o and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o count_v it_o holy_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n fear_v god_n the_o more_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

this_o day_n no_o man_n do_v sanctify_v this_o day_n conscionable_o but_o he_o shall_v find_v a_o blessing_n therefore_o it_o be_v sure_o from_o the_o lord_n the_o first_o use_n be_v this_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n 1._o the_o sabbath_n by_o divine_a institution_n then_o here_o we_o see_v that_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n the_o devil_n if_o he_o can_v make_v man_n keep_v no_o day_n than_o it_o be_v his_o policy_n to_o make_v they_o keep_v it_o by_o half_n oh_o say_v they_o do_v we_o not_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n do_v we_o not_o come_v to_o church_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o divine_a service_n morning_n and_o evening_n be_v not_o this_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v institute_v this_o day_n then_o certain_o he_o have_v institute_v a_o whole_a day_n it_o be_v madness_n and_o want_v of_o reason_n for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v the_o contrary_n suppose_v i_o hire_v a_o man_n to_o labour_n with_o i_o for_o a_o day_n do_v i_o not_o make_v account_n he_o shall_v work_v one_o whole_a day_n suppose_v i_o hire_v a_o servant_n for_o a_o year_n do_v i_o not_o mean_v a_o whole_a year_n though_o i_o put_v not_o in_o the_o

day_n and_o they_o meet_v together_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v a_o day_n therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o whole_a day_n and_o it_o be_v so_o in_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o curtail_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o the_o servant_n of_o hanun_n do_v the_o

it_o be_v not_o a_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o a_o positive_a law_n equipollent_a with_o the_o moral_a law_n a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v write_v by_o 3._o the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o tabel_n of_o stone_n and_o put_v into_o the_o ark_n exod._n 31._o 18._o and_o deut._n 10._o 12._o the_o commandment_n be_v write_v upon_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n now_o all_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n agree_v upon_o this_o that_o the_o write_n of_o this_o commandment_n in_o the_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v a_o evident_a argument_n of_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o for_o as_o a_o reverend_n divine_a say_v not_o to_o think_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o be_v moral_a be_v the_o way_n to_o all_o atheism_n for_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a but_o ceremonial_a another_o may_v step_v up_o the_o next_o year_n and_o say_v the_o second_o and_o the_o five_o be_v not_o so_o that_o whereas_o the_o law_n be_v write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n if_o we_o root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n we_o shall_v root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n therefore_o the_o writing_n of_o it_o in_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v a_o evident_a argument_n of_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o to_o all_o age_n a_o four_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v 4._o this_o commandment_n more_o than_o any_o other_o commandment_n in_o the_o decalogue_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v question_v the_o first_o or_o second_o or_o any_o of_o the_o ten_o as_o well_o as_o this_o for_o first_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v make_v this_o commandment_n large_a than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n second_o he_o have_v make_v it_o strong_a and_o urge_v it_o with_o more_o argument_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n 3._o he_o have_v fix_v a_o memento_n remember_v before_o it_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v be_v careful_a of_o this_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o forget_v it_o take_v heed_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v teach_v you_o the_o contrary_a that_o this_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a 4._o it_o be_v negative_o deliver_v and_o affirmative_o the_o other_o deliver_v only_o one_o way_n either_o affirmative_o only_a as_o the_o five_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n or_o else_o negative_o only_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v never_o a_o commandment_n deliver_v both_o negative_o and_o affirmative_o but_o only_o the_o four_o as_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a there_o it_o be_v deliver_v affirmative_o and_o afterward_o it_o be_v deliver_v negative_o in_o it_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n thou_o nor_o thy_o son_n nor_o thy_o daughter_n etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v it_o both_o way_n note_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v equal_a and_o equipollent_a with_o the_o other_o and_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o in_o infinite_a wisdom_n because_o he_o have_v not_o write_v this_o commandment_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v it_o more_o with_o argument_n that_o what_o be_v want_v in_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n may_v be_v supply_v by_o the_o press_n of_o argument_n 5._o another_o argument_n be_v because_o if_o this_o be_v 5._o not_o moral_a than_o we_o have_v not_o ten_o moral_a commandment_n there_o be_v but_o nine_o now_o this_o be_v false_a for_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o commandment_n be_v ten_o as_o deut._n 10._o 4._o it_o be_v not_o a_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v it_o as_o you_o may_v see_v there_o and_o he_o write_v upon_o the_o table_n according_a to_o the_o first_o writing_n the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o mount_n out_o of_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fire_n the_o lord_n speak_v ten_o commandment_n now_o if_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a there_o be_v not_o ten_o commandment_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o deny_v the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n as_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o six_o argument_n be_v this_o christ_n tell_v we_o 6._o plain_o that_o it_o be_v a_o moral_a commandment_n matth._n 24._o 20._o pray_v say_v he_o that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o in_o the_o winter_n nor_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n our_o saviour_n christ_n here_o prophesy_v of_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v forty_o year_n after_o christ_n ascension_n when_o all_o ceremony_n be_v cease_v as_o paul_n have_v proclaim_v before_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o if_o any_o man_n will_v 2_o be_v circumcise_v christ_n shall_v profit_v he_o nothing_o galat._n 5._o 2._o that_o be_v if_o he_o will_v keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n now_o christ_n bid_v those_o that_o shall_v live_v forty_o year_n after_o the_o ceremony_n be_v cease_v i_o will_v have_v you_o have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o delight_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o meditate_v upon_o it_o and_o so_o forth_o and_o if_o any_o occasion_n come_v that_o you_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o enemy_n pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o in_o the_o winter_n nor_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o winter_n that_o will_v do_v hurt_v and_o be_v troublesome_a to_o your_o body_n and_o so_o if_o you_o fly_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o will_v trouble_v your_o conscience_n if_o you_o regard_v god_n commandment_n and_o the_o good_a of_o your_o own_o conscience_n if_o you_o regard_v or_o fear_n god_n name_n it_o will_v grieve_v you_o to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n whereby_o you_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o congregation_n of_o god_n saint_n therefore_o pray_v that_o your_o flight_n be_v not_o upon_o that_o day_n intimate_v that_o it_o be_v moral_a for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v ceremonial_a he_o will_v not_o have_v wish_v they_o to_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v upon_o that_o day_n now_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n do_v so_o often_o condemn_v the_o pharisee_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o strictness_n of_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v not_o as_o if_o he_o do_v disallow_v the_o keep_n of_o it_o but_o they_o be_v foolish_o precise_a they_o strain_v at_o a_o gnat_n and_o swallow_v a_o camel_n they_o crowd_v out_o and_o regard_v not_o mercy_n and_o judgement_n they_o will_v not_o pull_v a_o poor_a beast_n out_o of_o a_o pit_n or_o relieve_v a_o poor_a man_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o find_v fault_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v help_v from_o death_n door_n by_o our_o saviour_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n this_o be_v their_o folly_n now_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o condemn_v strict_a keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o he_o do_v condemn_v their_o superstition_n for_o ever_o since_o adam_n time_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n on_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pull_v a_o beast_n out_o of_o the_o pit_n and_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n and_o necessity_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o whereas_o the_o law_n say_v the_o jew_n may_v
