that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n answ_n the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n to_o man_n as_o they_o stand_v

it_o will_v and_o do_v well_o agree_v with_o adam_n to_o be_v a_o imitator_n of_o god_n but_o god_n rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o be_v refresh_v exo._n 31._o 17._o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n

leave_v it_o to_o the_o arbitrary_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o his_o worshipper_n to_o ordain_v and_o appoint_v therefore_o from_o all_o this_o i_o conclude_v unless_o christ_n shall_v do_v as_o his_o father_n do_v and_o be_v less_o careful_a of_o a_o day_n for_o the_o solemnity_n of_o his_o set_a worship_n than_o the_o very_a idolater_n he_o must_v be_v the_o institutor_n of_o this_o day_n which_o we_o observe_v to_o he_o for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o at_o any_o time_n in_o any_o age_n of_o the_o world_n that_o any_o public_a worship_n be_v ever_o invent_v to_o be_v observe_v

it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o his_o write_a law_n and_o reveal_v will_n have_v god_n order_v it_o the_o three_o circumstance_n be_v that_o which_o be_v of_o universal_a observation_n by_o all_o which_o none_o but_o god_n can_v impose_v by_o his_o supreme_a authority_n to_o which_o all_o be_v alike_o equal_o subject_a and_o such_o a_o universal_a circumstance_n be_v this_o for_o
