to_o call_v the_o day_n of_o our_o christian_a weekly-rest_n whether_o the_o sabbath_n the_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o prayer_n appoint_v to_o be_v use_v in_o our_o church_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o intline_v &c_n &c_n as_o it_o be_v repeat_v after_o and_o apply_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n 3._o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o use_v any_o bodily_a recreation_n upon_o the_o lord's-day_n and_o if_o so_o then_o what_o kind_n of_o recreation_n may_v be_v use_v i._o concern_v the_o name_n sabbatum_fw-la or_o sabbath_n i_o thus_o conceive_v 1._o that_o in_o scripture_n antiquity_n and_o all_o ecclesiastical_a writer_n it_o be_v constant_o appropriate_v to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n or_o saturday_n and_o not_o at_o all_o till_o of_o late_a year_n use_v to_o signify_v our_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n 2._o that_o to_o call_v sunday_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o sabboth-day_n rebus_fw-la sic_fw-la slantibus_fw-la may_v for_o sundry_a respect_n be_v allow_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n without_o any_o great_a inconveniency_n and_o that_o therefore_o man_n otherwise_o sober_a and_o moderate_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v censure_v with_o too_o much_o severity_n neither_o charge_v with_o judaisme_n if_o sometime_o they_o so_o speak_v 3._o that_o yet_o for_o sundry_a other_o respect_v it_o be_v perhaps_o much_o more_o expedient_a if_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o that_o motion_n be_v either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o else_o more_o spare_o use_v ii_o concern_v the_o name_n dominica_n or_o the_o lord's-day_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v take_v up_o in_o memory_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n resurrection_n and_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n accomplish_v therein_o 2._o that_o it_o have_v warrant_n from_o the_o scripture_n apoc._n 1._o 10_o and_o have_v be_v of_o long_a continue_a use_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n to_o signify_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o sunday_n iii_o concern_v the_o name_n die_v solis_n or_o sunday_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o course_n of_o the_o planet_n as_o the_o name_n of_o the_o other_o day_n be_v the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v from_o astronomer_n 2._o that_o it_o have_v be_v use_v general_o and_o of_o long_a time_n in_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o just_o chargeable_a with_o heathenism_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o much_o weakness_n at_o the_o least_o if_o not_o rather_o superstition_n that_o some_o man_n condemn_v the_o use_n of_o it_o as_o profane_v heathenish_a or_o unlawful_a iv._o of_o the_o fitness_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a three_o name_n compare_v one_o with_o another_o 1._o that_o according_a to_o the_o several_a matter_n or_o occasion_n of_o speech_n each_o of_o the_o three_o may_v be_v fit_a in_o some_o respect_n and_o more_o proper_a to_o be_v use_v than_o either_o of_o the_o other_o two_o as_o viz._n 1._o the_o name_n sabbath_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o time_n of_o rest_n indeterminate_a and_o in_o general_a without_o reference_n to_o any_o particular_a day_n and_o the_o other_o two_o when_o we_o speak_v determinate_o of_o that_o day_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n of_o which_o two_n again_o 2._o that_o of_o the_o lord's-day_n be_v fit_a in_o in_o the_o theological_a and_o ecclesiastical_a and_o 3._o that_o of_o sunday_n in_o the_o civil_a popular_a and_o common_a use_n 2._o yet_o so_o as_o that_o none_o of_o the_o three_o be_v condemn_v as_o utter_o unlawful_a whatsoever_o the_o matter_n or_o occasion_n be_v but_o that_o every_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o his_o christian_a liberty_n herein_o so_o long_o as_o superior_a authority_n do_v not_o restrain_v it_o provide_v ever_o that_o what_o he_o do_v herein_o he_o do_v it_o without_o vanity_n or_o affectation_n in_o himself_o or_o without_o uncharitable_a judge_n or_o despise_v his_o brother_n that_o do_v otherwise_o than_o himself_o do_v to_o the_o second_o question_n v._o the_o word_n of_o that_o prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n etc._n etc._n repeat_v after_o the_o four_o commandment_n do_v evident_o import_v as_o they_o do_v in_o each_o of_o the_o other_o ten_o 1._o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o three_o thing_n viz._n 1._o that_o the_o word_n of_o that_o particular_a commandment_n contain_v in_o they_o a_o law_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a 2._o that_o it_o be_v our_o bind_a duty_n to_o endeavour_v with_o our_o utmost_a power_n to_o keep_v the_o say_v law_n 3._o that_o our_o naughty_a heart_n have_v of_o themselves_o no_o inclination_n to_o keep_v it_o until_o god_n by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n shall_v incline_v they_o thereunto_o 2._o a_o double_a supplication_n viz._n 1._o for_o mercy_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n past_a because_o we_o have_v fail_v of_o bind_a duty_n heretofore_o 2._o for_o grace_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o we_o may_v perform_v our_o duty_n better_a hereafter_o vi_o but_o how_o far_o forth_o the_o word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o law_n bind_v christian_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n they_o have_v that_o bind_a power_n be_v the_o main_a difficulty_n for_o the_o resolution_n whereof_o it_o may_v suffice_v every_o sober_a mind_a christian_a to_o understand_v the_o prayer_n appoint_v by_o the_o church_n in_o that_o meaning_n which_o the_o word_n do_v immediate_o import_v and_o without_o overcurious_a inquiry_n into_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o disputable_a to_o believe_v these_o few_o point_n follow_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v as_o certain_a and_o grant_v among_o christian_n viz._n 1._o that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o law_n deliver_v by_o moses_n to_o the_o jew_n do_v bind_v christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o delivery_n no_o not_o the_o ten_o commandment_n themselves_o but_o least_o of_o all_o the_o four_o which_o all_o confess_v to_o be_v at_o least_o in_o some_o part_n ceremonial_a 2._o that_o the_o particular_a determination_n of_o the_o time_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o so_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o that_o respect_n although_o it_o be_v juris_fw-la divini_fw-la positivi_fw-la to_o the_o jew_n yet_o be_v cease_v together_o with_o other_o legal_a ceremony_n since_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o bind_v not_o christian_n conscience_n 3._o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o the_o general_n viz._n that_o some_o certain_a time_n shall_v be_v set_v apart_o from_o secular_a employment_n and_o to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o a_o holy_a rest_n for_o the_o better_a attend_v upon_o gods_n public_a and_o solemn_a worship_n be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o of_o divine_a right_n as_o a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereunto_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v still_o bind_v 4._o that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la the_o lord's-day_n or_o sunday_n be_v the_o time_n appoint_v to_o we_o for_o that_o purpose_n by_o such_o sufficient_a authority_n as_o we_o stand_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o obey_v absque_fw-la hoc_fw-la whether_o that_o authority_n be_v immediate_o divine_a or_o but_o mediate_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o regulate_v the_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n of_o every_o ordinary_a christian_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o unlawful_a for_o scholar_n sober_o and_o fair_o to_o argue_v and_o debate_v a_o little_o far_a matter_n which_o be_v questionable_a for_o the_o better_a find_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o point_n in_o this_o argument_n that_o be_v most_o in_o controversy_n be_v these_o two_o viz._n 1._o concern_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o keep_v one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o and_o by_o what_o right_a we_o eat_v tie_v so_o to_o do_v 2._o concern_v the_o change_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n into_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o by_o what_o authority_n it_o be_v do_v vii_o as_o touch_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v these_o three_o different_a opinion_n viz._n 1._o that_o it_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la naturali_fw-la as_o a_o branch_n proper_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v proper_o and_o direct_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la divino_fw-la positivo_fw-la establish_v by_o god_n express_v positive_a ordinance_n in_o his_o word_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v mere_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la humano_fw-la &_o ecclesiastico_fw-la introduce_v by_o authority_n and_o establish_v by_o the_o custom_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n touch_v which_o three_o opinion_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judicious_a to_o consider_v 1._o whether_o the_o last_o of_o they_o may_v not_o hap_v to_o be_v of_o evil_a consequence_n by_o leave_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n at_o her_o

by_o law_n prohibit_v though_o in_o themselves_o otherwise_o lawful_a be_v unlawful_a to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o person_n walk_v and_o discourse_v with_o man_n of_o liberal_a education_n be_v a_o pleasant_a recreation_n it_o be_v no_o way_n delightsom_a to_o the_o rude_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o scarce_o account_v any_o thing_n a_o sport_n which_o be_v not_o loud_a and_o boisterous_a 3._o to_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o recreation_n themselves_o those_o be_v the_o meet_a to_o be_v use_v which_o give_v the_o best_a refresh_v to_o the_o body_n and_o leave_v the_o least_o impression_n in_o the_o mind_n in_o which_o respect_n shoot_v leap_v pitch_v the_o bar_n stoolball_n etc._n etc._n be_v rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o dice_v card_v etc._n etc._n 3._o for_o the_o use._n that_o man_n will_v be_v exhort_v to_o use_v their_o recreation_n and_o pastime_n upon_o the_o lord's-day_n in_o godly_a and_o commendable_a sort_n for_o which_o purpose_n among_o other_o these_o caution_n follow_v will_v be_v remember_v 1._o that_o they_o be_v use_v with_o great_a moderation_n as_o at_o all_o other_o time_n so_o especial_o and_o much_o more_o upon_o the_o lord's-day_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v use_v at_o seasonable_a time_n not_o in_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n nor_o at_o such_o hour_n as_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n whereunto_o they_o belong_v for_o private_a devotion_n within_o his_o own_o house_n his_o majesty_n declaration_n limit_v man_n liberty_n this_o way_n till_o after_o evensong_n be_v end_v 3._o that_o they_o be_v so_o use_v as_o that_o they_o may_v rather_o make_v man_n the_o fit_a for_o god_n service_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n and_o for_o the_o work_n of_o their_o vocation_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o week_n than_o any_o way_n hinder_v or_o disable_v they_o thereunto_o by_o over-wearying_a the_o body_n or_o immoderate_o affect_v the_o mind_n 4._o that_o they_o use_v they_o not_o doubt_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n he_o therefore_o that_o be_v not_o satisfy_v in_o his_o own_o judgement_n that_o he_o may_v lawful_o and_o without_o sin_n use_v bodily_a recreation_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n aught_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o forbear_v the_o use_n thereof_o lest_o he_o shall_v sin_v against_o his_o own_o conscience_n 5._o that_o they_o be_v severe_a towards_o themselves_o than_o towards_o other_o man_n in_o the_o use_n of_o their_o christian_a liberty_n herein_o not_o make_v their_o own_o opinion_n or_o practice_n a_o rule_n to_o their_o brethren_n in_o this_o as_o in_o all_o indifferent_a thing_n a_o wise_a and_o charitable_a man_n will_v in_o godly_a wisdom_n deny_v himself_o many_o time_n the_o use_n of_o that_o liberty_n which_o in_o a_o godly_a charity_n he_o dare_v not_o deny_v to_o his_o brother_n the_o case_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o liturgy_n state_v in_o the_o late_a time_n sir_n whereas_o

the_o two_o house_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o common_a prayer_n i_o continue_v the_o use_n of_o it_o as_o i_o have_v ever_o former_o do_v in_o the_o most_o peaceable_a and_o orderly_a time_n not_o

of_o november_n till_o they_o be_v call_v away_o to_o naseby-fight_a in_o may_n follow_v beside_o that_o for_o want_v of_o a_o book_n of_o necessity_n i_o must_v i_o see_v it_o also_o behove_v i_o for_o the_o prevent_n far_a outrage_n to_o wave_v the_o use_n of_o the_o book_n for_o the_o time_n at_o least_o in_o the_o ordinary_a service_n only_o i_o read_v the_o confession_n the_o lord_n
