now_o then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n unto_o believer_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o observation_n and_o direction_n i_o prove_v it_o by_o these_o ensue_a argument_n and_o scripture_n 1._o for_o

the_o time_n be_v abolish_v there_o those_o duty_n usual_o perform_v in_o that_o time_n be_v abolisn_v also_o wherefore_o if_o you_o will_v abolish_v the_o time_n and_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o jewish_a

come_v to_o it_o by_o &_o by_o 2._o i_o answer_v be_v it_o that_o because_o the_o one_o be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o the_o other_o a_o moral_a that_o therefore_o god_n have_v less_o regard_n unto_o the_o ceremony_n than_o he_o have_v unto_o the_o moral_a yet_o this_o make_v but_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o of_o less_o &_o more_o the_o one_o being_n less_o regard_v the_o other_o more_o regard_v now_o this_o difference_n hinder_v not_o the_o argument_n magis_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la non_fw-la variat_fw-la speciem_fw-la as_o logiceans_n speak_v a_o piece_n of_o silver_n of_o nine_o penny_n be_v

nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n

and_o curse_n thereof_o that_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n i_o make_v it_o appear_v by_o two_o reason_n from_o the_o context_n 1._o see_v v._o 4._o so_o you_o my_o brethren_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n now_o if_o christ_n have_v free_v we_o from_o the_o

curse_n and_o as_o hold_v we_o in_o bondage_n unto_o death_n for_o by_o death_n christ_n free_v we_o from_o death_n wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n or_o free_v from_o the_o la_o he_o consider_v the_o law_n as_o a_o kill_a letter_n and_o as_o it_o hold_v we_o in_o bondage_n unto_o death_n 2._o see_v v._o 5._o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o affection_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n have_v force_n in_o our_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n not_o simple_o but_o of_o the_o law_n as_o together_o with_o our_o corruption_n fructify_a unto_o death_n wherefore_o see_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o la_o as_o tend_v unto_o death_n it_o follow_v that_o when_o in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n he_o say_v we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n v._o 6._o he_o mean_v that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o poenalty_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o la_o or_o from_o the_o la_o as_o it_o respect_v the_o curse_n to_o wit_n eternal_a death_n and_o destruction_n so_o then_o here_o be_v nothing_o yet_o prove_v against_o the_o

against_o the_o la_o his_o main_a question_n be_v about_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n deny_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n say_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v

respect_n of_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o la_o but_o it_o be_v not_o where_o find_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o la_o for_o observation_n and_o for_o a_o rule_n of_o a_o holy_a lief_a nor_o be_v it_o any_o where_o find_v that_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o observation_n of_o or_o obedience_n to_o the_o la_o nor_o yet_o be_v it_o any_o where_o say_v by_o the_o la_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v direct_v or_o guide_v in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n wherefore_o for_o time_n to_o come_v if_o anabaptist_n and_o antinomian_o will_v object_v against_o the_o law_n by_o way_n of_o opposition_n to_o we_o let_v they_o not_o prove_v that_o the_o la_o be_v abolish_v in_o respect_n of_o justification_n and_o as_o a_o curse_n etc._n etc._n for_o all_o this_o we_o

do_v we_o make_v the_o law_n of_o none_o effect_n &_o c_o god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n rom._n 3.31_o but_o our_o adversary_n have_v learn_v of_o paul_n to_o abolish_v the_o law_n but_o not_o to_o establish_v the_o law_n we_o have_v now_o make_v answer_n unto_o the_o most_o and_o chief_a of_o their_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v against_o the_o law_n other_o they_o

to_o sanctify_v it_o i_o have_v put_v the_o word_n in_o controversy_n in_o a_o parenthesis_n as_o you_o see_v now_o let_v thes_n minister_n take_v a_o way_n those_o word_n in_o the_o parenthesis_n

we_o remember_v to_o sanctify_v a_o nothing_o so_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o very_a commandment_n the_o four_o come_v be_v utter_o nullify_v by_o their_o obiectiones_fw-la and_o make_v to_o speak_v nonsense_n or_o a_o nothing_o this_o be_v my_o first_o argument_n my_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o their_o own_o sense_n &_o use_v of_o it_o for_o

he_o as_o he_o follow_v christ_n 1._o cor._n 11.1_o now_o sure_a i_o be_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n travail_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o if_o therein_o they_o follow_v not_o christ_n yet_o they_o go_v together_o with_o he_o which_o be_v as_o good_a for_o both_o christ_n and_o they_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o emmaus_n why_o then_o may_v not_o we_o travail_v on_o the_o lord_n

presence_n make_v none_o furthermore_o that_o we_o may_v break_v the_o back_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n constancy_n i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o first_o and_o most_o famous_a lord_n day_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n then_o live_v with_o christ_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n christ_n and_o his_o church_n do_v not_o assemble_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o it_o be_v past_a or_o never_o end_v joh._n 20.19_o their_o first_o meeting_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o their_o second_o meeting_n be_v 8._o day_n after_o joh._n 20.26_o and_o their_o three_o when_o they_o go_v to_o fish_v joh._n 21.1.14_o now_o assembly_n &_o congregation_n be_v sabbath_n duty_n levit._n 23.2.3_o wherefore_o since_o the_o minister_n &_o people_n christ_n &_o his_o disciple_n meet_v not_o all_o the_o day_n long_o to_o solemnize_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n until_o evening_n &_o the_o day_n be_v now_o spend_v &_o pass_v therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o they_o can_v not_o assemble_v soon_o in_o the_o day_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n joh._n 20.19_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v more_o likely_a they_o dare_v not_o stir_v abroad_o all_o day_n long_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n &_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o jew_n therefore_o they_o keep_v close_o all_o the_o day_n long_o together_o in_o the_o house_n and_o so_o they_o be_v assemble_v all_o the_o day_n but_o like_o sheep_n without_o their_o shepherd_n 2._o my_o second_o argument_n wherewith_o i_o prove_v it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v because_o they_o do_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o this_o purpose_n see_v mark_n 16.11.9_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v that_o christ_n appear_v first_o unto_o mary_n magdalene_n &_o the_o text_n say_v that_o she_o go_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o have_v be_v with_o christ_n which_o mourn_v and_o weep_v and_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v appear_v to_o she_o they_o beleened_a it_o not_o again_o see_v mark_n 16.13_o where_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o travail_v in_o to_o the_o country_n &_o how_o christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o also_o and_o the_o text_n say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o go_v and_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o remnant_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o last_o see_v mar._n 16.14_o where_o the_o text_n say_v final_o he_o appear_v unto_o the_o eleven_o as_o they_o sit_v together_o and_o reproach_v they_o for_o their_o unbelief_n &_o hardness_n of_o heart_n because_o they_o bleeve_v not_o they_o which_o have_v see_v he_o be_v rise_v up_o again_o s._n luke_n report_v it_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v mary_n magdalene_n etc._n etc._n which_o tell_v these_o thing_n unto_o the_o apostle_n but_o their_o word_n say_v the_o text_n seem_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o feign_a thing_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o luk._n 24.10.11_o so_o by_o all_o these_o testimony_n you_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o resurrection_n through_o unbelief_n not_o the_o eleven_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v believe_v it_o now_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o how_o these_o apostle_n with_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o disciple_n can_v sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n when_o as_o they_o know_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o when_o they_o believe_v it_o not_o yea_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o mourn_v and_o weep_v still_o mark_n 16.10_o and_o that_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emmaus_n they_o have_v communication_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v sade_n luk._n 24.17_o which_o sadness_n mourning_n and_o weep_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n yea_o when_o the_o day_n be_v fatr_n spend_v luk._n 24.29_o bewray_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n resurrection_n how_o then_o i_o marvel_v can_v they_o keep_v that_o lord_n day_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n in_o a_o joyful_a &_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n when_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o apparent_a that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o and_o weekly_o in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o apostle_n for_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v neglect_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v how_o confident_a our_o minister_n be_v that_o this_o lord_n day_n be_v constant_o keep_v by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n in_o so_o much_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o puritan_n minister_n that_o have_v avowch_v it_o that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o life_n &_o die_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o day_n whither_o i_o may_v believe_v they_o or_o not_o i_o can_v tell_v i_o shall_v

for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sanctification_n when_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o profane_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o matter_n as_o if_o it_o be_v

it_o be_v suppose_v that_o christ_n touch_v the_o redemption_n do_v imitate_v god_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n thereof_o well_o let_v we_o see_v how_o like_a or_o rather_o unlike_a christ_n be_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n at_o the_o creation_n god_n choose_v the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v but_o

34.21.22.23_o and_o in_o levit._n 23.3.4.24.32.38.39_o a_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v moses_n in_o charge_n to_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n exod._n 25.8.9_o the_o make_v whereof_o will_v cost_v great_a &_o long_a labour_n now_o lest_o the_o people_n shall_v think_v that_o because_o the_o work_n about_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v a_o holy_a work_n perteyn_a unto_o

shall_v keep_v etc._n etc._n exod._n 31.13_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v albeit_o i_o will_v that_o you_o make_v i_o a_o tabernacle_n etc._n etc._n yet_o i_o will_v not_o that_o you_o work_v about_o it_o on_o my_o sabbath_n day_n now_o because_o the_o people_n be_v as_o prone_a upon_o this_o occasion_n of_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n when_o their_o turn_n come_v as_o upon_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v as_o well_o make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n and_o that_o therefore_o in_o this_o text_n exod._n 31._o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 13.14_o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 15.16.17_o that_o so_o the_o people_n appoint_v to_o work_v about_o the_o tabcrnacle_n as_o bezaleel_n and_o aboliab_n and_o the_o rest_n they_o may_v not_o work_v either_o upon_o the_o yearly_a or_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o be_v all_o these_o 5_o verse_n spend_v only_o about_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n only_o then_o have_v not_o god_n make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o can_v be_v lik_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o in_o these_o few_o verse_n v._n 13.14.15.16.17_o there_o be_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n to_o those_o that_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n two_o several_a time_n &_o in_o two_o several_a verse_n as_o in_o v._o 14._o whosoever_o work_v therein_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o people_n and_o in_o v._o 15._o whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o it_o be_v not_o lik_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n shall_v be_v repeat_v and_o twice_o together_o threaten_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n it_o be_v most_o likly_a that_o here_o moses_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o they_o in_o v._o 14._o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 15._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n also_o to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o remember_v that_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v beaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o v._o 17._o now_o these_o diverse_a sign_n do_v intimate_v that_o here_o may_v be_v diverse_a sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n for_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o one_o kind_n and_o creation_n to_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o probable_a that_o redemption_n and_o creation_n shall_v be_v both_o apply_v unto_o one_o kind_n only_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o liklihod_n there_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o about_o which_o we_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v take_v away_o these_o answer_n and_o prove_v unto_o v._o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a 7._o day_n sabbath_n they_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n all_o their_o labour_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o all_o be_v grant_v they_o which_o this_o text_n can_v afford_v they_o it_o will_v make_v only_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n but_o nothing_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o suppose_v it_o grant_v that_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v sign_n of_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o abolish_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n

that_o by_o sabbath_n in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n understand_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o one_o because_o say_v they_o under_o the_o word_n holy_a day_n be_v mean_v all_o

&_o so_o i_o come_v to_o my_o first_o argument_n where_o by_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v now_o still_o in_o force_n argum_fw-la i._o my_o first_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v still_o in_o force_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o in_o force_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v frame_v every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n but_o no_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n therefore_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n here_o be_v as_o you_o see_v three_o propositiones_fw-la if_o the_o two_o foremost_a be_v prove_v the_o three_o &_o last_o must_v be_v grant_v as_o follow_v necessary_o i_o be_o therefore_o now_o to_o prove_v the_o ij_o foremost_a proposition_n and_o first_o for_o the_o first_o proposition_n or_o mayor_n to_o wit_n that_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v either_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v 1._o because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o day_n in_o question_n betwixt_o we_o but_o these_o two_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o the_o new_a sabbath_n there_o be_v no_o three_o day_n and_o therefore_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n of_o necessity_n and_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n every_o man_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o 2._o i_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o sabbath_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n at_o all_o in_o the_o church_n this_o be_v a_o heinouse_a impiety_n yea_o worse_o than_o a_o savage_a brutishness_n 3._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o all_o stand_v for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o man_n even_o to_o the_o church_n wherein_o we_o live_v for_o our_o church_n acknowledge_v a_o sabbath_n as_o due_a unto_o god_n &_o she_o according_o give_v he_o one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n weekly_o 4._o i_o prove_v this_o major_n by_o this_o that_o unless_o we_o maintain_v one_o of_o these_o two_o day_n we_o profanly_a &_o impious_o live_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o of_o god_n ten_o commandment_n by_o name_n the_o four_o come_v for_o if_o we_o deny_v both_o these_o day_n then_o do_v we_o neither_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n nor_o the_o sabbath_n day_n all_o divine_v confess_v that_o the_o four_o come_v injoin_v a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o though_o not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n so_o then_o every_o man_n fear_v god_n must_v defend_v &_o stand_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n one_o or_o other_o the_o old_a day_n or_o the_o new_a day_n or_o else_o he_o live_v in_o the_o sinful_a breach_n of_o the_o four_o come_v weekly_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n fear_v god_n may_v maintain_v &_o defend_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o because_o a_o man_n can_v defend_v this_o day_n in_o faith_n &_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o now_o it_o behove_v every_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n to_o look_v to_o the_o government_n of_o his_o tongue_n that_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o defence_n of_o any_o thing_n unless_o he_o can_v do_v it_o in_o faith_n now_o that_o a_o man_n can_v speak_v for_o this_o lord_n day_n or_o new_a sabbath_n in_o faith_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o because_o he_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o faith_n &_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o its_o fundation_n it_o be_v not_o faith_n but_o fancy_n superstition_n and_o presumption_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n to_o ground_n &_o find_v his_o faith_n upon_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o thus_o prove_v it_o 1._o because_o christ_n have_v leave_v no_o commandment_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o
we_o to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o 2._o as_o there_o be_v no_o express_a

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

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 toto_fw-la necesse_fw-la est_fw-la poni_fw-la vel_fw-la removeri_fw-la part_n but_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n as_o you_o may_v read_v rom._n 3.31_o rom_n 13.8.9.10_o yea_o the_o whole_a law_n be_v

sabbath_n as_o one_o part_n of_o his_o law_n which_o these_o man_n must_v account_v for_o judaisme_n &_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o 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 sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v as_o well_o &_o as_o much_o command_v in_o the_o law_n as_o any_o other_o duty_n therein_o mention_v be_v for_o other_o duty_n be_v deliver_v 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 see_v that_o god_n express_o mention_v the_o time_n &_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n &_o of_o this_o time_n and_o day_n he_o say_v in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n so_o that_o god_n have_v as_o well_o forbid_a man_n to_o labour_v &_o work_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o he_o have_v forbid_v man_n to_o kill_v to_o commit_v adultery_n or_o to_o steal_v and_o therefore_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o
part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o may_v challenge_v it_o of_o right_a then_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o murder_n adultery_n &_o steal_v 2._o in_o a_o bond_n there_o the_o debtor_n be_v bind_v unto_o

the_o jew_n be_v command_v to_o circumcise_v upon_o the_o 8_o day_n &_o to_o eat_v the_o passover_n on_o the_o 14_o day_n now_o will_v any_o man_n think_v that_o these_o day_n command_v be_v no_o part_n of_o those_o commandment_n 4._o an_o other_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o time_n &_o day_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v because_o if_o it_o be_v take_v away_o than_o the_o law_n be_v unperfect_a &_o lame_a for_o take_v away_o these_o word_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o four_o come_v &_o than_o you_o leave_v the_o four_o come_v imperfect_a and_o lame_a for_o it_o want_v those_o word_n which_o the_o almighty_a write_v in_o it_o to_o wit_n these_o word_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n 2._o as_o hereby_o the_o law_n be_v lame_v in_o its_o word_n so_o also_o be_v it_o in_o thing_n for_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n when_o they_o have_v abolish_v the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n than_o they_o think_v the_o law_n be_v imperfect_a for_o it_o want_v a_o day_n &_o therefore_o they_o have_v patch_v it_o up_o again_o with_o a_o new_a day_n to_o wit_n the_o lord_n day_n say_v the_o four_o come_v command_v now_o the_o lord_n day_n wherefore_o themselves_o be_v my_o witness_n that_o the_o time_n &_o day_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o also_o a_o part_n so_o necessary_a as_o they_o hold_v the_o law_n unperfect_a until_o they_o have_v put_v in_o a_o new_a piece_n to_o make_v up_o the_o breach_n when_o a_o stud_n or_o pillar_n of_o a_o house_n be_v take_v away_o so_o as_o they_o must_v set_v in_o a_o new_a stud_n or_o

be_v a_o seven_o day_n beside_o the_o which_o there_o be_v no_o seven_o day_n that_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n but_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o seven_o day_n beside_o which_o there_o be_v no_o seven_o day_n therefore_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v our_o sabbath_n day_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o mayor_n or_o first_o proposition_n many_o divine_n be_v of_o judgement_n that_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n be_v god_n &_o to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o worship_n &_o service_n as_o moral_n wherefore_o all_o such_o divine_n must_v approve_v of_o

wherefore_o since_o god_n have_v couple_v all_o the_o 10_o commandment_n thus_o together_o with_o every_o commandment_n therein_o contain_v it_o follow_v that_o all_o &_o every_o of_o these_o

to_o deal_v against_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n law_n who_o will_v abolish_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o libertine_n anabaptist_n &_o our_o new_a upstart_n eatonists_n they_o do_v defend_v god_n law_n

day_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n all_o be_v one_o for_o it_o be_v burr_n time_n you_o stand_v on_o and_o time_n be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o why_o shall_v you_o be_v so_o strict_a for_o a_o circumstance_n as_o if_o god_n regard_v a_o time_n so_o much_o etc._n etc._n because_o you_o say_v but_o a_o time_n and_o but_o a_o circumstance_n by_o way_n of_o sleit_v you_o must_v know_v that_o this_o time_n this_o circumstance_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n yea_o one_o of_o the_o most_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o time_n indeed_o but_o it_o be_v a_o sacred_a and_o holy_a time_n for_o god_n himself_o please_v to_o hallow_n it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o god_n bless_v the_o 7_o day_n and_o sanstify_v it_o gen._n 2.3_o be_v it_o not_o blasphemy_n to_o but_o at_o god_n ordinance_n why_o may_v not_o some_o thus_o but_o at_o our_o sacrament_n as_o well_o as_o these_o do_v at_o god_n sabbath_n why_o may_v they_o not_o as_o well_o say_v the_o sacrament_n what_o need_v you_o be_v so_o strict_a for_o they_o they_o be_v but_o sign_n of_o thing_n &_o c_o the_o water_n it_o be_v but_o well_o water_n the_o bread_n it_o be_v but_o baker_n bread_n &_o c_o as_o you_o say_v the_o sabbath_n why_o it_o be_v but_o a_o time_n and_o but_o a_o circumstance_n 2._o we_o must_v know_v that_o some_o circumstance_n be_v but_o indifferent_a &_o other_o be_v necessary_a for_o example_n the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n when_o it_o be_v not_o command_v &_o limit_v than_o it_o be_v a_o indifferent_a circumstance_n &_o then_o a_o man_n may_v but_o at_o it_o by_o way_n of_o diminution_n thus_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v use_v but_o whither_o in_o the_o before_o noon_n or_o in_o the_o after_o
