of_o the_o sin_n and_o then_o follow_v that_o in_o practice_v which_o be_v in_o word_n or_o in_o precept_n this_o be_v also_o see_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o fast_a wherein_o no_o man_n must_v

be_v in_o that_o the_o lord_n give_v six_o day_n to_o work_v and_o but_o one_o to_o serve_v he_o if_o the_o first_o be_v a_o permission_n do_v endure_v for_o ever_o then_o do_v the_o other_o also_o remain_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o this_o permission_n to_o work_v on_o the_o six_o day_n can_v be_v restrain_v for_o any_o religious_a use_n it_o appear_v as_o in_o that_o adam_n have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o creature_n &_o the_o apostle_n do_v leave_v all_o thing_n free_a and_o therefore_o these_o day_n come_v not_o for_o any_o religious_a use_n 16_o but_o some_o may_v except_v the_o lord_n

and_o not_o for_o himself_o therefore_o they_o may_v not_o follow_v he_o unless_o they_o have_v the_o like_a reason_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o humble_v for_o any_o singular_a benefit_n as_o in_o the_o coronation_n of_o the_o prince_n yet_o these_o day_n be_v not_o take_v up_o of_o man_n but_o the_o lord_n blow_v the_o trumpet_n and_o in_o neglect_v they_o it_o be_v sin_n for_o god_n must_v have_v this_o prerogative_n only_o to_o make_v law_n see_v the_o equity_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n belong_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o the_o lord_n create_v all_o thing_n and_o give_v they_o to_o all_o and_o all_o may_v have_v use_n of_o they_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a proof_n that_o the_o reason_n be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o they_o and_o so_o this_o commandment_n 17_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o commandment_n show_v the_o same_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v never_o command_v but_o this_o also_o be_v command_v and_o the_o corruption_n thereof_o never_o correct_v but_o this_o also_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o sabbath_n especial_o numb_a 15._o and_o be_v all_o this_o because_o of_o the_o pretermit_a of_o a_o ceremony_n will_v he_o not_o be_v ever_o worship_v in_o spirit_n never_o to_o delight_v in_o the_o ceremony_n therefore_o this_o be_v because_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v contemn_v 18_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v change_v once_o it_o be_v meet_v but_o never_o to_o be_v change_v again_o for_o as_o day_n then_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n for_o the_o creation_n be_v most_o fit_a so_o now_o the_o day_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v most_o fit_a see_v now_o the_o world_n be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v make_v new_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v change_v 19_o then_o they_o can_v not_o kindle_v fire_n which_o we_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v ceremonial_a first_o sabbath_n some_o think_v that_o commandment_n be_v but_o for_o time_n of_o the_o wilderness_n second_o the_o jew_n in_o every_o commandment_n have_v something_o ceremonial_a which_o we_o have_v not_o now_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n we_o be_v to_o read_v and_o teach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o belong_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o but_o to_o
