day_n because_o in_o it_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a as_o a_o absolute_a lord_n and_o conqueror_n of_o satan_n headplot_n and_o therefore_o now_o see_v his_o death_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v a_o perfect_a sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n god_n make_v he_o both_o lord_n and_o christ_n and_o thereupon_o christ_n have_v ordain_v that_o day_n to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o have_v i_o declare_v the_o first_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v make_v famous_a and_o honourable_a by_o three_o several_a sort_n of_o instance_n that_o have_v relation_n to_o god_n rest_v and_o to_o man_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o the_o promise_a seed_n chap._n xiii_o prove_v that_o though_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o his_o death_n yet_o that_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n arbitrary_a to_o particular_a church_n to_o appoint_v what_o day_n they_o please_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o some_o unadvised_a protestant_n do_v affirm_v i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o that_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n that_o belong_v either_o to_o the_o heavenly_a or_o the_o earthly_a host_n and_o that_o his_o finish_n act_n lie_v in_o this_o namely_o in_o ordain_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n to_o break_v the_o devil_n headplot_n and_o when_o that_o headplot_n be_v break_v then_o god_n rest_v and_o be_v refresh_v and_o then_o also_o he_o sanctify_v the_o outward_a rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n both_o of_o god_n rest_n and_o of_o man_n rest_n on_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n as_o soon_o therefore_o as_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n have_v break_v the_o devil_n headplot_n by_o his_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n the_o holy_a rest_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v cease_v as_o it_o be_v a_o type_n or_o sign_n of_o that_o which_o be_v now_o perform_v but_o yet_o withal_o i_o pray_v remember_v what_o i_o have_v say_v upon_o the_o word_n sanctify_v namely_o that_o thereby_o god_n command_v fall_v man_n to_o set_v apart_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o a_o double_a use_n 1._o as_o the_o sanctify_a time_n of_o that_o worship_n wherewith_o he_o have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o 2._o as_o a_o sanctify_a sign_n in_o this_o last_o respect_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n but_o in_o the_o first_o respect_n namely_o as_o it_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o so_o much_o time_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o such_o ordinance_n both_o public_a and_o private_a as_o god_n have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n withal_o so_o it_o must_v continue_v namely_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n according_a to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o a_o constant_a succession_n to_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n can_v be_v translate_v to_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o to_o the_o next_o day_n after_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v translate_v to_o any_o other_o day_n god_n shall_v have_v be_v a_o loser_n of_o his_o seven_o part_n of_o sanctify_a time_n there_o will_v have_v be_v a_o vacuum_n in_o the_o revolution_n of_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n at_o least_o in_o the_o first_o translation_n of_o it_o to_o any_o other_o day_n but_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o so_o the_o roundness_n of_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n will_v have_v be_v spoil_v which_o must_v no●_n be_v admit_v for_o as_o god_n do_v not_o allow_v less_o than_o six_o part_n of_o the_o week_n for_o man_n civil_a employment_n so_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v less_o time_n for_o his_o public_a worship_n than_o he_o appoint_v at_o first_o therefore_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v make_v of_o god_n to_o be_v both_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n if_o he_o have_v leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n arbitrary_a to_o each_o particular_a church_n to_o transfer_v it_o to_o what_o day_n they_o please_v a_o man_n may_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n affirm_v that_o christ_n have_v leave_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n arbitrary_a to_o each_o particular_a church_n as_o affirm_v that_o he_o have_v leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n arbitrary_a there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o for_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v make_v as_o much_o alteration_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o outward_a worship_n as_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n second_o the_o very_a order_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n do_v plain_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o god_n public_a worship_n which_o be_v full_o comprehend_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n must_v have_v a_o public_a day_n appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o the_o constant_a exercise_n of_o his_o say_a public_a worship_n and_o consequent_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o his_o death_n he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n must_v establish_v another_o certain_a day_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n without_o any_o intermission_n or_o loss_n of_o time_n the_o order_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o table_n lie_v thus_o 1_o the_o first_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v we_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n alone_o in_o unity_n and_o trinity_n with_o the_o whole_a inward_a man_n 2_o the_o second_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v we_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n with_o all_o such_o outward_a worship_n as_o he_o have_v command_v at_o that_o present_a or_o shall_v command_v afterward_o 3_o the_o three_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v we_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n both_o public_o and_o private_o and_o with_o outward_a reverence_n as_o well_o as_o inward_a 4_o the_o four_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v we_o to_o observe_v the_o seven_o day_n not_o only_o as_o a_o sanctify_a sign_n but_o also_o as_o the_o sanctify_a time_n of_o that_o worship_n wherewith_o god_n have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o soon_o therefore_o as_o christ_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n have_v accomplish_v that_o work_n of_o break_v the_o devil_n headplot_n by_o his_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n the_o seven_o day_n in_o regard_n it_o be_v a_o sanctify_a sign_n must_v cease_v but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sanctify_a time_n of_o god_n public_a worship_n so_o it_o must_v not_o cease_v but_o it_o must_v still_o be_v continue_v or_o else_o god_n public_a worship_n must_v suffer_v loss_n and_o confusion_n no_o other_o way_n can_v be_v find_v out_o by_o which_o the_o constant_a solemnity_n of_o god_n establish_v worship_n may_v be_v continue_v but_o by_o translate_n the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o next_o day_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v only_o god_n shall_v still_o have_v the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n for_o his_o public_a worship_n without_o interruption_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n only_o the_o twofold_a manner_n of_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n do_v attain_v its_o several_a end_n 2_o let_v it_o be_v a_o little_a further_o inquire_v into_o to_o what_o end_n do_v god_n command_v all_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o the_o second_o command_n and_o to_o what_o end_n do_v he_o command_v all_o his_o public_a worship_n to_o be_v reverent_o perform_v in_o the_o three_o command_n if_o the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n in_o the_o four_o command_n be_v whole_o obliturate_v 3_o consider_v that_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o all_o his_o public_a worship_n must_v be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o see_v he_o do_v require_v that_o the_o mean_a circumstance_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o have_v take_v order_n that_o the_o main_a thing_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n shall_v be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n and_o that_o can_v be_v without_o some_o public_a day_n be_v uniform_a but_o if_o christ_n jesus_n have_v leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n abitrary_a to_o his_o particular_a church_n they_o will_v hardly_o agree_v upon_o a_o way_n of_o decency_n especial_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o solemnity_n of_o time_n doubtless_o they_o will_v appoint_v several_a day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o every_o
place_n of_o they_o all_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o memorial_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n he_o have_v now_o ordain_v two_o sacramental_a seal_n which_o he_o have_v annex_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n the_o one_o he_o have_v appoint_v as_o a_o sacrament_n of_o initiation_n to_o his_o church_n and_o the_o other_o as_o a_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n to_o all_o believer_n and_o therefore_o christ_n jesus_n have_v not_o now_o tie_v his_o public_a worship_n neither_o to_o typical_a person_n nor_o to_o typical_a place_n nor_o to_o typical_a day_n and_o time_n for_o by_o his_o

among_o the_o custom_n of_o moses_n as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n be_v for_o though_o at_o the_o first_o circumcision_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n long_o before_o moses_n yet_o it_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o custom_n of_o moses_n because_o he_o write_v first_o of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o typical_a sign_n so_o in_o like_a sort_n though_o the_o sabbath_n be_v first_o give_v to_o adam_n as_o a_o typical_a sign_n yet_o it_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o custom_n of_o moses_n because_o he_o first_o write_v of_o it_o as_o a_o typical_a sign_n exod._n 31._o 13._o etc._n etc._n and_o also_o

public_a worship_n 1_o i_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o christ_n leave_v the_o day_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n reason_n 1_o to_o the_o discretion_n of_o his_o apostle_n to_o appoint_v what_o day_n they_o think_v good_a in_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n though_o their_o appointment_n have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n for_o we_o know_v by_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v guide_v but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o christ_n himself_o do_v appoint_v the_o day_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n he_o do_v use_v mean_n to_o assemble_v his_o disciple_n together_o that_o he_o may_v meet_v with_o they_o and_o declare_v unto_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o first_o appear_v to_o mary_n magdalen_n and_o at_o her_o

disciple_n as_o they_o go_v from_o jerusalem_n to_o emaus_n luke_n 24._o and_o he_o prove_v his_o resurrection_n to_o they_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o open_v their_o understanding_n to_o understand_v what_o he_o say_v and_o this_o he_o do_v to_o draw_v they_o back_o again_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n partly_o that_o they_o may_v testify_v the_o certainty_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o partly_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o assembly_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o they_o to_o instruct_v they_o further_o concern_v his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n and_o at_o that_o assembly_n he_o also_o open_v their_o understanding_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v the_o scripture_n which_o he_o allege_v for_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v write_v and_o thus_o it_o behove_v christ_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a the_o three_o day_n luke_n 24._o 45_o 46._o i_o grant_v it_o be_v somewhat_o late_o in_o the_o evening_n ere_o christ_n come_v unto_o their_o assembly_n but_o yet_o that_o time_n of_o the_o evening_n be_v plain_o call_v the_o same_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n joh._n 20._o 19_o

gather_v by_o consequence_n that_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n he_o may_v well_o speak_v how_o he_o have_v end_v all_o moses_n ceremony_n and_o so_o consequent_o how_o he_o have_v end_v the_o typical_a use_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o his_o death_n and_o then_o doubtless_o he_o will_v nominate_v some_o other_o day_n in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o for_o the_o use_n of_o

joh._n 21._o 14._o i_o confess_v if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o christ_n have_v appear_v to_o they_o on_o any_o other_o day_n between_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o that_o day_n seven-night_n than_o his_o appear_v on_o that_o day_n seven-night_n have_v not_o be_v so_o remarkable_a but_o see_v he_o do_v not_o appear_v any_o more_o unto_o they_o till_o that_o day_n

day_n and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o because_o this_o second_o time_n of_o his_o meeting_n be_v not_o occasion_v by_o any_o sabbatical_a feast_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v a_o chief_a festival_n sabbath_n be_v past_o two_o day_n before_o this_o second_o meeting_n and_o none_o of_o the_o

yet_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o consequence_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v glory_n of_o their_o willing_a mind_n to_o they_o of_o macedonia_n say_v that_o

upon_o some_o one_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o no_o more_o as_o some_o will_v have_v the_o text_n to_o speak_v doubtless_o therefore_o they_o do_v lay_v aside_o something_o either_o every_o

therein_o to_o a_o certain_a custom_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o vow_v something_o to_o the_o poor_a for_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n say_v that_o alms_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o general_a of_o vow_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o say_v thus_o lo_o this_o shekel_n or_o this_o shilling_n be_v a_o alm_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a out_o of_o hand_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o

of_o vow_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n corinth_n and_o macedonia_n namely_o that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v separate_v something_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o lay_v it_o up_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o for_o that_o day_n be_v a_o fit_a day_n for_o that_o duty_n than_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n do_v add_v this_o to_o their_o former_a speech_n that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v purpose_v to_o give_v such_o a_o quantity_n to_o the_o poor_a but_o in_o his_o heart_n only_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v it_o 3_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v by_o christ_n institution_n the_o day_n of_o public_a worship_n in_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v give_v direction_n to_o the_o church_n to_o separate_v something_o for_o the_o poor_a when_o they_o be_v me●_n together_o on_o that_o day_n for_o
