be_v not_o one_o precise_a day_n appoint_v by_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n and_o all_o day_n be_v alike_o under_o the_o gospel_n then_o on_o all_o day_n the_o word_n will_v either_o be_v in_o season_n or_o out_o of_o season_n but_o since_o there_o be_v a_o time_n in_o season_n and_o time_n out_o of_o season_n i_o argue_v there_o be_v one_o special_a day_n appoint_v for_o those_o great_a thing_n

in_o a_o special_a manner_n on_o any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o that_o this_o day_n be_v the_o day_n in_o season_n or_o there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o but_o that_o can_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o special_a season_n appoint_v to_o every_o thing_n and_o purpose_n under_o heaven_n 4._o this_o day_n be_v the_o day_n in_o season_n because_o it_o suit_n with_o the_o state_n of_o gospel-believer_n we_o first_o enter_v into_o rest_n through_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v do_v for_o we_o all_o we_o have_v to_o do_v and_o bear_v all_o those_o burden_n we_o be_v to_o bear_v in_o order_n to_o our_o enter_v into_o rest_n therefore_o it_o can_v suit_v with_o we_o to_o keep_v the_o old_a sabbath_n which_o enjoin_v the_o creature_n to_o do_v and_o live_v i.e._n to_o labour_n to_o do_v all_o that_o god_n command_v in_o obedience_n even_o to_o the_o whole_a law_n if_o ever_o they_o will_v have_v rest_n and_o peace_n so_o that_o the_o jew_n day_n show_v they_o be_v to_o work_v for_o life_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n but_o our_o day_n show_v we_o work_v from_o life_n and_o we_o have_v rest_n life_n and_o peace_n first_o or_o be_v justify_v and_o so_o obey_v and_o this_o from_o better_a more_o evangelical_n principle_n so_o that_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o day_n this_o special_a season_n all_o other_o day_n of_o the_o
