the_o wilderness_n see_v we_o never_o read_v either_o of_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o or_o blame_v lay_v upon_o they_o for_o not_o observe_v it_o afterward_o see_v we_o find_v our_o saviour_n himself_o present_a at_o a_o great_a feast_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n luk._n 14.1_o and_o that_o in_o one_o of_o the_o chief_n pharisees_n house_n the_o strict_a observer_n of_o the_o sabbath_n even_o to_o superstition_n now_o that_o feast_n can_v not_o be_v prepare_v without_o a_o fire_n the_o kindle_v whereof_o if_o it_o have_v be_v unlawful_a on_o that_o day_n neither_o will_v our_o saviour_n have_v grace_v the_o feast_n with_o his_o presence_n nor_o the_o pharisee_n that_o watch_v he_o so_o narrow_o and_o quarrel_v with_o he_o so_o often_o for_o suppose_a sabbath_n breach_n have_v pass_v it_o over_o in_o silence_n no_o we_o require_v the_o observation_n of_o no_o other_o rest_n then_o that_o only_o which_o be_v express_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n namely_o the_o lay_v aside_o of_o all_o the_o labour_n of_o our_o particular_a calling_n in_o secular_a thing_n that_o we_o may_v set_v a_o part_n the_o whole_a day_n of_o this_o holy_a rest_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o immediate_a worship_n and_o service_n there_o be_v indeed_o many_o that_o conceive_v that_o christian_n be_v not_o bind_v either_o by_o this_o four_o commandment_n or_o by_o any_o other_o law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n as_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o moses_n nor_o any_o far_a than_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v either_o to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o renew_v by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n and_o particular_o they_o affirm_v that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v acknowledge_v something_o to_o be_v ceremonious_a and_o muta_fw-la ble_a in_o the_o four_o commandment_n as_o namely_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n i_o which_o we_o ourselves_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v change_v whence_o they_o conclude_v no_o bind_a argument_n can_v be_v draw_v out_o of_o that_o commandment_n to_o reach_v we_o that_o be_v christian_n we_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n in_o the_o delivery_n of_o his_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n look_v upon_o they_o in_o divers_a respect_n in_o some_o thing_n as_o the_o people_n of_o such_o a_o nation_n and_o of_o such_o a_o time_n which_o he_o manifest_v in_o give_v they_o the_o law_n judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a but_o in_o give_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o mankind_n he_o look_v on_o they_o as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n representative_a to_o who_o therefore_o he_o commit_v not_o only_o those_o ten_o law_n but_o besidesth_n e_o rest_n of_o his_o oracle_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o rom._n 3.2_o in_o trust_n for_o the_o use_n and_o service_n of_o the_o church_n which_o also_o he_o manifest_v in_o divers_a particular_a circumstance_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o probable_a reason_n give_v why_o god_n 1._o deliver_v the_o decalogue_n by_o the_o voice_n and_o pen_n of_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n whereas_o he_o deliver_v the_o judicial_o and_o ceremonial_n by_o by_o the_o voice_n and_o pen_n of_o moses_n the_o peculiar_a minister_n of_o the_o jew_n 2._o why_o he_o write_v the_o moral_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n whereas_o he_o appoint_v the_o ceremoniall_n to_o be_v write_v in_o ordinary_a volume_n 3._o why_o he_o appoint_v those_o table_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o themselves_o in_o the_o ark_n within_o the_o sanctum_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v christ_n own_o closet_n whereas_o the_o judicial_o and_o cerimoniall_n be_v lay_v up_o without_o the_o altar_n of_o incense_n the_o pot_n of_o mannah_n and_o aaron_n rod_n in_o a_o room_n into_o which_o the_o leviticall_a priest_n have_v ordinary_a access_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o distinguish_v those_o law_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n from_o those_o which_o concern_v the_o whole_a church_n in_o general_n second_o to_o the_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o fix_v of_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n on_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o neither_o in_o the_o sum_n nor_o explication_n nor_o conclusion_n of_o the_o commandment_n we_o have_v no_o mention_n but_o of_o a_o sabbath_n or_o day_n of_o rest_n in_o the_o explication_n we_o have_v the_o proportion_n of_o time_n appoint_v for_o this_o rest_n which_o must_v be_v one_o whole_a day_n of_o seven_o in_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o commandment_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o rule_n that_o direct_v we_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o day_n but_o that_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o indefinite_a term_n and_o be_v indifferent_o applyable_a to_o either_o the_o first_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o howsoever_o the_o seven_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v there_o mention_v as_o it_o be_v here_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o bind_v we_o to_o it_o as_o that_o particular_a day_n but_o as_o a_o day_n honour_v above_o other_o day_n by_o manifest_v the_o perfect_a of_o that_o glorious_a red_n above_o other_o day_n by_o manifest_v the_o perfect_a of_o that_o glorious_a work_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o the_o rule_n deliver_v from_o the_o design_v of_o the_o particular_a day_n be_v only_o this_o as_o we_o have_v show_v already_o in_o a_o treatise_n write_v of_o this_o argument_n that_o the_o day_n which_o god_n shall_v by_o his_o work_n advance_v above_o otherda_fw-la yes_o shall_v be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o holy_a rest_n which_o before_o christ_n come_v be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n wherein_o by_o his_o rest_n on_o that_o day_n god_n manifest_v the_o perfect_a of_o the_o world_n creation_n but_o since_o christ_n must_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n be_v translate_v to_o the_o first_o wherein_o our_o saviour_n by_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a on_o that_o day_n declare_v the_o perfect_a of_o the_o world_n redemption_n which_o be_v the_o more_o eminent_a work_n of_o the_o two_o and_o consequent_o advance_v that_o day_n above_o the_o former_a second_o we_o say_v that_o have_v deliver_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o compile_v they_o into_o a_o volume_n a_o part_n by_o themselves_o distingush_v they_o from_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o so_o many_o considerable_a circumstance_n as_o we_o have_v show_v already_o we_o can_v in_o reason_n conceive_v that_o god_n will_v leave_v out_o only_o this_o one_o of_o those_o law_n to_o be_v mix_v with_o his_o moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o unchangeable_a law_n as_o for_o that_o scruple_n which_o many_o stumble_v at_o that_o it_o appear_v by_o mention_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o law_n the_o deliverance_n from_o the_o egyptian_a bondage_n and_o promise_v their_o continuance_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n promise_v in_o the_o five_o commandment_n that_o god_n intend_v the_o decalogue_n only_o to_o the_o jew_n because_o he_o mention_n those_o thing_n which_o concern_v they_o alone_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o neither_o of_o those_o particular_n in_o which_o they_o instance_n be_v any_o branch_n of_o any_o one_o of_o those_o commandment_n but_o be_v only_o promise_v and_o annex_v as_o inducement_n to_o move_v they_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o those_o law_n now_o the_o duty_n may_v belong_v unto_o we_o though_o the_o inducement_n and_o motive_n to_o persuade_v thereunto_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o they_o second_o those_o very_a motive_n be_v indeed_o express_v in_o such_o a_o form_n as_o be_v appliable_a only_o to_o they_o but_o the_o thing_n intend_v by_o those_o expression_n belong_v as_o well_o unto_o we_o as_o unto_o they_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n in_o the_o type_n belong_v only_o to_o they_o but_o the_o deliverance_n from_o our_o spiritual_a bondage_n represent_v thereby_o belong_v as_o well_o to_o we_o as_o to_o they_o and_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n point_v at_o in_o the_o five_o commandment_n be_v any_o land_n in_o the_o earth_n which_o god_n give_v any_o of_o his_o servant_n as_o the_o apostle_n clear_o interpret_v and_o apply_v it_o eph._n 6.2_o there_o remain_v yet_o behind_o one_o scruple_n which_o have_v prevail_v with_o many_o to_o doubt_v whether_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v give_v to_o adam_n in_o paradise_n that_o be_v before_o his_o fall_n because_o say_v they_o be_v in_o that_o condition_n he_o neither_o need_v any_o such_o law_n either_o for_o the_o refresh_n of_o his_o body_n or_o for_o the_o quicken_a of_o his_o spirit_n nor_o can_v possible_o observe_v it_o have_v no_o other_o company_n but_o his_o wife_n which_o can_v not_o make_v a_o public_a assembly_n which_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n require_v to_o who_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o supposition_n that_o adam_n be_v in_o paradise_n need_v no_o sabbath_n be_v ill_o ground_v
