shall_v such_o caville_n go_v for_o currant_n as_o by_o these_o trick_n some_o man_n turn_v off_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n so_o by_o the_o like_a may_v they_o turn_v off_o also_o the_o lord_n jesus_n

by_o the_o four_o come_v wherefore_o this_o objection_n which_o be_v very_o common_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v of_o no_o moment_n it_o will_v not_o free_v they_o of_o

and_o why_o the_o commandment_n shall_v be_v express_v by_o this_o word_n remember_v the_o common_a reason_n hereof_o render_v by_o divin_n be_v to_o prevent_v carelessness_n and_o forgetfulness_n on_o the_o six_o work_a day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n next_o ensue_v lest_o man_n shall_v leave_v some_o common_a work_n of_o the_o six_o day_n to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n this_o i_o confess_v a_o truth_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o suppose_v for_o if_o one_o demand_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n prefix_v a_o memento_n to_o this_o com._n more_o than_o unto_o any_o other_o of_o the_o commandment_n this_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n because_o that_o by_o man_n not_o forthink_v of_o the_o sabbath_n some_o work_n be_v leave_v undo_v on_o the_o six_o day_n to_o

to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o such_o a_o reason_n therefore_o will_v be_v seek_v as_o agree_v to_o this_o come_v and_o not_o unto_o other_o now_o in_o this_o point_n if_o i_o may_v take_v leave_n to_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n i_o can_v find_v out_o a_o better_a reason_n than_o this_o god_n foresee_v that_o after_o a_o long_a time_n that_o be_v about_o 364_o year_n after_o

be_v forget_v it_o may_v in_o time_n by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o be_v bring_v to_o remembrance_n again_o which_o god_n grant_v if_o we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o 10_o com._n we_o shall_v find_v that_o nothing_o command_v in_o any_o of_o they_o be_v so_o whole_o and_o utter_o bury_v and_o forget_v as_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v when_o they_o

and_o lest_o it_o rise_v again_o they_o have_v cast_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n upon_o it_o calling_z it_o jewish_a and_o judaisme_n and_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n and_o a_o bury_v abolish_v ceremony_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o to_o bring_v it_o out_o of_o remembrance_n now_o though_o papist_n have_v foul_o forget_v the_o 2d_o come_v yet_o all_o protestant_n remember_v it_o well_o enough_o

that_o they_o talk_v beyond_o their_o skill_n when_o they_o talk_v so_o before_o the_o people_n of_o necessary_a consequence_n for_o if_o they_o know_v what_o they_o say_v when_o they_o so_o speak_v

answer_n unto_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o the_o foremost_a be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v reason_n in_o this_o text_n why_o it_o can_v be_v that_o this_o word_n sabbath_n shall_v be_v understod_a of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

mention_v in_o this_o text_n nam_o the_o sabbath_n shall_v be_v of_o like_a kind_n to_o wit_n such_o sabbath_n as_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n neither_o for_o who_o can_v think_v that_o all_o the_o other_o word_n and_o thing_n in_o this_o text_n shall_v be_v pure_a ceremony_n and_o such_o as_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o this_o one_o word_n only_o to_o wit_n sabbath_n shall_v contain_v in_o it_o a_o moral_a day_n and_o ceremonial_a day_n or_o day_n some_o whereof_o be_v never_o write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n as_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n and_o some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o also_o the_o rest_n but_o also_o the_o very_a commandment_n itself_o the_o four_o come_v &_o that_o be_v abolish_v under_o these_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v

be_v radical_o indeed_o in_o your_o minister_n for_o the_o blind_a do_v lead_v the_o blind_a nevertheless_o you_o have_v your_o share_n therein_o because_o you_o justify_v their_o do_n &_o approve_v

of_o these_o thing_n as_o if_o common_a people_n can_v not_o understand_v they_o nor_o any_o but_o minister_n &_o man_n of_o learning_n can_v judge_v of_o they_o man_n may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o

of_o this_o note_v with_o i_o these_o ij_o thing_n the_o four_o come_v &_o the_o opposition_n make_v against_o this_o four_o come_v for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o the_o four_o come_v together_o

may_v easy_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v therein_o &_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n god_n enjoin_v for_o a_o sabbath_n wherefore_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v it_o be_v in_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o minister_n against_o something_o command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o this_o opposition_n there_o arise_v difficulty_n because_o they_o trouble_v the_o water_n of_o man_n understanding_n by_o bring_v many_o &_o intricate_a reason_n out_o of_o scripture_n against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v which_o intricate_a argument_n if_o these_o minister_n will_v forbear_v than_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o all_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o beat_a path_n way_n wherefore_o since_o you_o see_v where_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v my_o counsel_n to_o all_o such_o people_n as_o plead_v ignorance_n &_o want_v of_o learning_n in_o this_o controversy_n shall_v be_v that_o they_o will_v therefore_o rather_o follow_v god_n than_o their_o minister_n for_o god_n way_n be_v a_o plain_a smooth_a easy_a &_o beat_a way_n so_o as_o every_o man_n learn_v or_o unlern_v may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n sabbath_n it_o be_v such_o a_o rugged_a way_n &_o such_o a_o difficult_a way_n full_a of_o so_o many_o secret_a &_o hidden_a wind_n &_o turn_n as_o people_n of_o common_a capacety_n can_v conceive_v it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
difficult_a way_n and_o further_o let_v they_o not_o dare_v to_o live_v in_o the_o weekly_a transgression_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o profanation_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n bear_v themselves_o only_a upon_o this_o poor_a ground_n that_o their_o minister_n say_v they_o may_v so_o do_v &_o that_o their_o minister_n bring_v many_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n since_o those_o argument_n as_o themselves_o confess_v they_o understand_v not_o nor_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o for_o want_v of_o learning_n when_o they_o hear_v or_o read_v they_o dispute_v of_o the_o apostle_n say_v whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o if_o then_o they_o can_v comprehend_v &_o conceive_v of_o the_o opposite_a argument_n

of_o faith_n they_o must_v do_v it_o doubtting_o &_o so_o sinful_o wherefore_o the_o better_a &_o easy_o know_v way_n be_v the_o sure_a &_o safe_a way_n &_o that_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o god_n rest_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o thus_o much_o for_o people_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o minister_n the_o first_o thing_n i_o lay_v to_o

be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a or_o else_o those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n and_o holy_a exercise_n these_o must_v be_v

in_o this_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o if_o they_o a_o bolish_v the_o seven_o day_n they_o do_v also_o abolish_v the_o duty_n enjoin_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o con_v and_o so_o farewell_n law_n &_o duty_n both_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o by_o direction_n from_o the_o scripture_n you_o make_v the_o time_n to_o wit_n that_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v ceremonial_a and_o

also_o but_o no_o man_n will_v make_v those_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n ceremonial_a &_o abolish_v therefore_o may_v no_o man_n make_v that_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n in_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

of_o rest_n &_o religiouse_a exercise_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n and_o jewish_a time_n thus_o you_o see_v unless_o you_o hold_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n moral_a you_o can_v hold_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o sabbath_n moral_a &_o if_o you_o condemn_v the_o time_n &_o day_n for_o a_o ceremony_n you_o must_v also_o relinguish_v those_o duty_n which_o you_o will_v fain_o have_v be_v moral_a argum_fw-la xvii_o my_o 17_o argument_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o saturday_n sabbath_n prove_v that_o it_o must_v be_v moral_a and_o still_o in_o use_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n

his_o change_n be_v not_o the_o very_a same_o which_o god_n specify_v in_o numb_a 9.10.11_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o like_a reason_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o

of_o this_o i_o may_v say_v as_o christ_n say_v you_o have_v make_v the_o commandment_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o tradition_n god_n say_v in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o work_v i_o say_v they_o

day_n the_o word_n sabbath_n it_o signify_v a_o rest_n and_o do_v we_o not_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n why_o we_o have_v the_o sabbath_n day_n already_o we_o keep_v it_o every_o week_n so_o long_o as_o we_o rest_v from_o our_o work_n every_o lord_n day_n let_v i_o show_v you_o the_o absurdety_n of_o this_o sly_a evasion_n by_o the_o like_a suppose_v we_o a_o commandment_n give_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n thus_o remember_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o but_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o he_o bless_a and_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n suppose_v we_o also_o one_o of_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n shall_v allege_v unto_o i_o this_o commandment_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o i_o shall_v answer_v he_o thus_o the_o lord_n day_n why_o do_v i_o not_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n on_o saturday_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o four_o commandment_n say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n and_o do_v i_o not_o then_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n when_o i_o keep_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n on_o saturday_n be_v not_o this_o a_o sly_a eusiaon_n and_o yet_o such_o sly_a evasione_n they_o use_v as_o if_o because_o they_o can_v deceive_v themselves_o &_o blind_v the_o poor_a people_n by_o such_o sleite_n they_o can_v deceive_v god_n himself_o too_o thereby_o but_o as_o in_o the_o suppose_a commandment_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v manifest_v enough_o which_o day_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o namely_o not_o saturday_n

of_o sunday_n only_o so_o in_o the_o true_a commandment_n for_o the_o old_a sabbath_n it_o be_v plain_a enough_o to_o any_o but_o deceiver_n which_o day_n the_o lord_n mean_v for_o his_o sabbath_n that_o be_v not_o the_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n but_o the_o saturday_n for_o it_o be_v call_v in_o the_o commandment_n the_o seven_o day_n which_o agree_v to_o saturday_n only_o and_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o commandment_n to_o be_v the_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n which_o agree_v to_o saturday_n only_o 2._o may_v they_o not_o by_o the_o like_a sophistry_n keep_v
