commandment_n also_o say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v all_o thy_o work_n now_o this_o commandment_n as_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o former_a make_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o make_v to_o back_o it_o and_o to_o support_v it_o for_o because_o god_n will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o sanctify_v his_o sabbath_n day_n and_o to_o rest_v therein_o from_o labour_n that_o so_o a_o vacancy_n may_v be_v for_o holy_a duty_n therefore_o have_v god_n add_v a_o other_o precept_n command_v we_o to_o do_v all_o the_o work_v we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o six_o day_n that_o so_o no_o work_n may_v be_v leave_v to_o do_v in_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n so_o then_o these_o two_o commandment_n to_o

onward_o &_o saturday_n though_o it_o greeve_v they_o will_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o redemption_n wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v be_v like_o themselves_o saturday_n must_v be_v their_o

be_v a_o bless_a and_o a_o sanctify_a day_n look_v what_o god_n have_v bless_v it_o shall_v be_v bless_v and_o what_o god_n have_v sanctify_v it_o must_v be_v holy_a the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o be_v a_o holy_a time_n a_o holy_a day_n thus_o musculus_fw-la fol._n 62._o god_n may_v say_v he_o have_v command_v only_o the_o act_n and_o do_n of_o the_o day_n but_o to_o set_v out_o the_o matter_n more_o pithy_o he_o say_v remember_v that_o thou_o sanctify_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n he_o charge_v that_o the_o day_n itself_o shall_v be_v repute_v holy_a where_o

the_o day_n itself_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n neither_o be_v this_o day_n holy_a by_o any_o man_n hallow_a or_o sanctify_v of_o it_o but_o by_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o say_v these_o text_n the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o god_n have_v choose_v out_o the_o saturday_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n above_o all_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o god_n have_v make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n he_o have_v thereby_o put_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o it_o &_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v betwixt_o a_o priest_n &_o a_o common_a man_n the_o temple_n &_o their_o common_a house_n &_o as_o be_v now_o betwixt_o sacramental_a bread_n &_o

58.13_o and_o my_o holy_a day_n isa_n 58.13_o and_o my_o sabbath_n isa_n 56.4_o how_o mean_o soever_o time_n now_o count_v of_o this_o day_n yet_o you_o see_v by_o these_o name_n and_o epithet_n how_o god_n esteem_v of_o it_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v god_n to_o hallow_v this_o seven_o day_n saturday_n sabbath_n the_o reason_n then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o evident_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n you_o see_v one_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o birth_n day_n and_o marriage_n day_n because_o on_o those_o day_n they_o be_v bear_v &_o marry_v those_o jew_n ester_n 9_o keep_v the_o day_n of_o purim_n because_o of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o christ_n passion_n day_n resurrection_n day_n or_o ascension_n day_n be_v there_o not_o some_o reason_n even_o in_o thes_n for_o one_o day_n above_o all_o other_o even_o so_o be_v there_o not_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v &_o rest_v on_o above_o all_o other_o since_o that_o god_n solemnize_v it_o &_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o do_v therefore_o bless_v it_o &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o himself_o have_v rest_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v observe_v by_o such_o as_o expound_v the_o come_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o one_o of_o seven_o that_o be_v of_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o of_o some_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o other_o as_o if_o god_n have_v make_v no_o choice_n or_o difference_n of_o day_n &_o as_o if_o god_n have_v as_o well_o sanctify_a sunday_n monday_n tewsday_n etc._n etc._n and_o make_v they_o holy_a day_n as_o saturday_n his_o sacred_a day_n there_o be_v beside_o other_o these_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v celebrate_v this_o day_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o 1._o because_o on_o this_o day_n god_n rest_v and_o not_o on_o any_o of_o the_o other_o 6_o day_n &_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n 2._o god_n hallow_v and_o

because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o it_o but_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n so_o to_o sanctify_v any_o of_o the_o six_o day_n for_o he_o rest_v not_o on_o those_o but_o wrought_v on_o they_o 4._o

in_o v._o 15.16.17_o which_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n create_v the_o world_n v._n 17._o must_v also_o be_v abolish_v and_o so_o much_o for_o

that_o be_v the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o because_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n or_o a_o sign_n of_o christ_n that_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n must_v be_v abolish_v for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v vanish_v &_o yet_o the_o sabbath_n may_v remain_v still_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o consider_v with_o i_o that_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v consider_v abosolut_o or_o relatiuly_a absolute_o without_o any_o sign_n or_o relatiuly_a with_o its_o sign_n like_v as_o a_o juey_a bush_n or_o the_o like_a sign_n hang_v up_o at_o a_o vineteners_n house_n you_o may_v consider_v its_o absolute_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v no_o sign_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o juey_a bush_n

the_o sabbath_n it_o have_v a_o absolute_a nature_n &_o it_o have_v a_o relative_a &_o signifificative_a nature_n now_o these_o two_o may_v be_v part_v for_o it_o may_v lose_v its_o relative_a

we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o circumcision_n type_v out_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n will_v give_v unto_o the_o israelite_n the_o land_n of_o canaan_n genes_n 17.8_o the_o other_o be_v

for_o as_o the_o rock_n after_o it_o lose_v its_o typicalnesse_n it_o still_o remain_v a_o rock_n so_o may_v the_o sabbath_n after_o christ_n have_v abolish_v its_o typicalnesse_n which_o be_v affix_v to_o it_o it_o may_v still_o remain_v a_o sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v original_o at_o its_o prime_a institution_n it_o may_v remain_v still_o as_o a_o sacred_a time_n for_o god_n worship_n &_o as_o a_o

2.16.17_o the_o which_o other_o man_n do_v make_v to_o fight_v together_o like_o deadly_a enemy_n before_o i_o conclude_v this_o section_n let_v i_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v on_o all_o occationes_fw-la distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n &_o the_o anniversary_n sabbath_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n for_o these_o begin_v but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o begin_v before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o because_o god_n sanctify_v and_o

that_o also_o by_o precedent_n these_o be_v holy_a but_o by_o destination_n only_o but_o that_o be_v holy_a by_o consecration_n also_o 3._o because_o they_o be_v distinct_a in_o themselves_o the_o one_o be_v once_o every_o week_n the_o other_o once_o every_o year_n 4._o because_o god_n place_v the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n in_o his_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o first_o table_n thereof_o but_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n be_v exclude_v thence_o and_o never_o come_v into_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n 5._o because_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o and_o keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n which_o belong_v unto_o all_o man_n alike_o but_o so_o be_v it_o not_o with_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o

body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v

because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o

rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o

unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o

after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n public_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n and_o so_o we_o have_v prove_v this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o one_o in_o 7_o day_n now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v his_o choice_n on_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o rest_n from_o labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v himself_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o possible_o find_v a_o more_o fit_a day_n to_o rest_n in_o then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
the_o servant_n by_o right_a from_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_a that_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n unto_o man_n &_o beas●_n &_o a_o work_n great_o tend_v to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o charity_n in_o a_o word_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o thing_n great_o tend_v to_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n because_o it_o be_v make_v for_o they_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n mark_n 2.27_o unless_o therefore_o we_o will_v accuse_v god_n of_o unskilfulnesse_n in_o make_v thing_n for_o man_n which_o be_v not_o good_a and_o profitable_a for_o they_o we_o must_v needs_o yield_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o thing_n tend_v unto_o and_o a_o furtherance_n of_o man_n good_a in_o general_a what_o answer_n may_v be_v frame_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o can_v foresee_v unless_o it_o be_v some_o such_o as_o this_o that_o the_o rest_n from_o labour_n be_v it_o only_o which_o tend_v unto_o piety_n and_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n but_o not_o the_o day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n this_o help_v not_o &c._n &c._n but_o contrariwise_o 1._o the_o day_n help_v unto_o a_o religiouse_a sanctification_n of_o the_o rest_n because_o it_o be_v a_o sacred_a day_n above_o all_o other_o in_o the_o week_n for_o god_n hallow_v it_o at_o the_o

whereof_o let_v we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n look_v we_o first_o into_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n how_o do_v they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n in_o these_o day_n as_o for_o the_o right_a day_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n they_o hold_v that_o abolish_v and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o that_o day_n well_o then_o come_v we_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o how_o keep_v they_o that_o why_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o keep_v indeed_o but_o like_o a_o common_a holy_a day_n but_o as_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n now_o have_v they_o retain_v the_o ancient_a purity_n of_o the_o four_o come_v hold_v themselves_o close_a unto_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v dare_v they_o have_v keep_v the_o sabhath_n day_n so_o profanly_a as_o now_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n since_o we_o be_v upon_o the_o point_n we_o may_v by_o the_o way_n discovermore_o of_o rome_n abomination_n we_o use_v to_o charge_v she_o with_o blot_v our_o and_n rase_v the_o second_o come_v so_o as_o they_o have_v but_o 9_o commandment_n but_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o matter_n a_o little_a better_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o have_v blot_v out_o and_o raze_v also_o the_o four_o come_v and_o so_o they_o have_v but_o 8_o commandment_n for_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o come_v neither_o the_o seven_o day_n nor_o the_o 8_o day_n so_o as_o the_o four_o come_v stand_v with_o they_o for_o a_o cipher_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v but_o 4_o commandment_n in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v raze_v out_o two_o of_o they_o &_o have_v lest_o but_o ij_o of_o they_o remain_v so_o then_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v reject_v two_o of_o god_n tenn_o commandment_n and_o retain_v but_o eight_o of_o they_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v four_o come_v in_o the_o first_o table_n they_o have_v reject_v two_o of_o those_o four_o and_o retain_v but_o two_o still_o again_o look_v we_o upon_o the_o anabaptiste_n of_o who_o there_o be_v great_a multitude_n in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o they_o keep_v no_o sabbath_n day_n in_o conscience_n of_o any_o commandment_n from_o god_n but_o only_o for_o order_v sake_n &_o this_o their_o profaneness_n i_o must_v impute_v unto_o this_o sleit_v of_o the_o day_n mention_v in_o the_o four_o come_v as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n any_o man_n may_v see_v they_o do_v not_o that_o without_o a_o cause_n since_o there_o be_v no_o institution_n for_o it_o leave_v by_o christ_n and_o as_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o seven_o

nevertheless_o this_o they_o will_v confess_v upon_o argument_n that_o if_o any_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n it_o must_v be_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o evil_a effect_n have_v follow_v since_o the_o sleit_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n for_o papist_n keep_v no_o sabbath_n according_a to_o the_o four_o come_v and_o

they_o shall_v begin_v their_o account_n of_o time_n unless_o it_o be_v from_o the_o creation_n or_o from_o the_o redemption_n there_o be_v none_o other_o famous_a action_n in_o the_o world_n that_o

account_v from_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v the_o natural_a account_n yea_o or_o by_o the_o divine_a account_n than_o sunday_n must_v be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o time_n &_o saturday_n must_v be_v the_o seven_o part_n of_o time_n but_o if_o they_o will_v account_v from_o the_o redemption_n then_o sure_a i_o be_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o they_o can_v make_v our_o sunday_n or_o

of_o the_o week_n and_o so_o the_o first_o day_n &_o first_o part_n of_o time_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o redemption_n then_o they_o must_v hold_v our_o saturday_n to_o be_v the_o

a_o seven_o day_n which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v whereof_o they_o speak_v i_o desire_v of_o they_o that_o they_o show_v we_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n they_o

the_o memory_n of_o that_o most_o wonderful_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n to_o wit_n the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n by_o almighty_a god_n therefore_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n ought_v still_o to_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o major_n or_o first_o proposition_n the_o almighty_a have_v do_v many_o and_o maruailouse_a work_n in_o the_o world_n he_o

with_o that_o which_o m._n perkins_n report_v say_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n but_o afterward_o it_o be_v

&_o they_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o be_v gatherable_a by_o this_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n now_o the_o first_o emperor_n that_o establish_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v constantine_n the_o great_a as_o say_v hosp_n cap._n 9_o pag._n 27._o &_o this_o

they_o all_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n unless_o we_o shall_v uncharitable_o censure_v they_o to_o have_v live_v profanly_a without_o any_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o while_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v many_o church_n keep_v both_o sabbath_n together_o to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o now_o can_v

wherefore_o since_o these_o church_n keep_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n for_o about_o 300_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n so_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o after_o christ_n

the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o israelite_n whence_o they_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n it_o have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o sign_n unto_o the_o israelit_n then_o unto_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o this_o argument_n false_o suppose_v the_o argument_n have_v have_v more_o colour_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o institution_n no_o more_o than_o the_o rock_n be_v a_o sign_n from_o its_o first_o creation_n 1._o cor._n 10.4_o the_o sabbath_n become_v a_o sign_n but_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n as_o we_o see_v exod._n 31.13_o the_o sign_n be_v but_o adventitiouse_a &_o add_v to_o the_o sabbath_n after_o its_o institution_n wherefore_o the_o sabbath_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n from_o the_o creation_n than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o sign_n as_o well_o unto_o gentile_n as_o unto_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n among_o the_o jew_n only_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sign_n unto_o jew_n and_o none_o unto_o gentile_n since_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o a_o sign_n original_o as_o it_o be_v when_o it_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o jew_n and_o gentile_n this_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o force_n iii_o again_o they_o reason_v thus_o if_o the_o sabbath_n have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o people_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o profane_v of_o his_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n but_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n but_o only_o the_o jew_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v obliterated_a before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n sabbath_n &_o so_o god_n in_o mercy_n may_v spare_v they_o the_o time_n of_o this_o ignorance_n god_n regard_v not_o say_v paul_n act._n 17.30_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o clear_a light_n than_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v the_o more_o obnoxious_a and_o these_o the_o less_o 2._o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o god_n no_o where_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o sabbath_n break_v how_o know_v they_o this_o since_o all_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o write_v much_o less_o the_o thing_n do_v among_o the_o gentile_n 3._o by_o the_o like_a absurd_a reason_n we_o may_v prove_v that_o other_o of_o the_o moral_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n because_o god_n never_o reprove_v the_o gentile_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o neither_o so_o much_o for_o this_o argument_n four_o last_o they_o argue_v from_o deut._n 5.2.3_o where_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v not_o this_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o who_o be_v alive_a this_o day_n etc._n etc._n here_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n say_v it_o be_v not_o make_v with_o their_o forefather_n and_o so_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v not_o from_o the_o creation_n i_o answer_v 1._o if_o these_o word_n be_v take_v proper_o than_o they_o will_v make_v as_o much_o against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n as_o against_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n now_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n for_o we_o read_v of_o diverse_a part_n thereof_o in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n 2._o whereas_o moses_n say_v the_o lord_n make_v this_o covenant_n with_o they_o alive_a only_a in_o horeb_n v._n 2._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o make_v in_o horeb_n but_o before_o for_o we_o read_v of_o one_o branch_n of_o this_o covenant_n make_v at_o least_o a_o month_n before_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n &_o that_o be_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n holy_a sabbath_n as_o it_o be_v there_o call_v exod._n 16.23.28_o for_o these_o cause_n a_o other_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n must_v be_v give_v thus_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v understod_a that_o the_o lord_n make_v not_o that_o covenant_n with_o their_o father_n that_o be_v not_o with_o they_o so_o express_o and_o apparent_o with_o such_o terror_n and_o such_o majesty_n as_o with_o those_o alive_a at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n like_a text_n require_v like_o exposition_n see_v eph._n 6.7_o psal_n 51.16_o jerem._n 31.34_o thus_o we_o see_v this_o text_n make_v nothing_o against_o the_o sabbath_n antiquity_n &_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n allege_v by_o gomarus_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr origine_fw-la sabbathi_o and_o how_o weak_o you_o have_v see_v thus_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o reason_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o reason_n for_o the_o antiquity_n thereof_o touch_v which_o let_v this_o be_v note_v that_o i_o do_v not_o determine_v whither_o the_o sabbath_n be_v institute_v in_o paradise_n before_o man_n fall_n or_o instant_o &_o immediate_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v i._o my_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o word_n so_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 have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v genes_n 2.3_o after_o that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o 6_o day_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o ever_o after_o he_o rest_v from_o that_o work_n in_o memory_n whereof_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v god_n consecrate_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o by_o consecrate_v it_o he_o institute_v the_o seven_o day_n above_o all_o the_o day_n in_o the_o week_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n for_o to_o sanctify_v &_o consecrate_v a_o day_n to_o hallow_v a_o day_n &_o to_o make_v a_o day_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n i_o take_v to_o be_v all_o one_o now_o the_o question_n may_v be_v whither_o god_n do_v sanctify_v this_o day_n for_o himself_o
to_o rest_v in_o or_o for_o man_n if_o not_o for_o both_o i_o rather_o think_v for_o man_n for_o as_o for_o god_n he_o rest_v no_o more_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n then_o on_o the_o 8_o 9th_o and_o 10_o day_n and_o so_o every_o day_n after_o but_o to_o man_n it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o he_o may_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o work_v on_o the_o 8_o 9th_o and_o 10_o day_n etc._n etc._n yea_o many_o holy_a day_n god_n have_v make_v since_o the_o creation_n levit._n 23._o but_o it_o can_v no_o where_n be_v show_v that_o he_o make_v any_o for_o himself_o but_o always_o for_o man_n yet_o more_o plain_o that_o god_n sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o man_n use_n it_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o where_o the_o lord_n use_v a_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o it_o be_v this_o because_o god_n himself_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n bless_v it_o and_o hallow_v it_o which_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n genes_n 2.3_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v you_o shall_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o i_o bless_v it_o and_o sanctify_v it_o at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o self_n same_o end_n hereby_o than_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v sanctify_v with_o reference_n unto_o man_n yet_o further_o it_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n mark_n 2.27_o say_n the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o when_o god_n make_v the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n he_o make_v it_o for_o man_n thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n hereunto_o some_o answer_n that_o the_o sabbath_n at_o the_o creation_n be_v exemplary_a indeed_o but_o not_o obligatory_a until_o the_o four_o come_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o distinction_n shall_v thus_o appear_v 1._o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o four_o come_v do_v not_o bind_v until_o it_o be_v deliver_v on_o mount_n sinai_n then_o do_v none_o of_o the_o other_o nine_o come_v bound_v neither_o until_o they_o be_v deliver_v on_o mount_n sinai_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o law_n have_v not_o ever_o ten_o commandment_n in_o it_o and_o that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n 2._o it_o be_v most_o strange_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v a_o example_n more_o than_o 2000_o year_n before_o any_o shall_v follow_v it_o for_o wherefore_o be_v example_n but_o for_o to_o be_v imitate_v 3._o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n mark_n 2.27_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o it_o be_v make_v at_o the_o creation_n for_o a_o example_n useless_a but_o for_o man_n use_n as_o to_o rest_v in_o it_o etc._n etc._n 4._o can_v any_o man_n think_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n at_o the_o creation_n and_o then_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v profane_v and_o pollute_v for_o 2000_o year_n after_o until_o the_o isralite_n come_v into_o the_o

of_o never_o 2000_o year_n after_o and_o not_o for_o the_o patriarch_n also_o who_o live_v before_o the_o flood_n or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o flood_n have_v sacrifice_n and_o no_o sabbath_n that_o they_o have_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o no_o time_n allot_v for_o it_o or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n from_o the_o creation_n have_v no_o day_n set_v apart_o for_o a_o thankful_a &_o holy_a remembrance_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n until_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n ii_o my_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o the_o four_o come_v must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o nine_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n for_o the_o decalogue_n be_v hold_v of_o all_o to_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o world_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v for_o else_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o copulative_a nature_n the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v not_o link_v together_o as_o a_o chain_n of_o many_o link_n for_o one_o link_n to_o wit_n the_o four_o in_o midst_n of_o the_o chain_n shall_v be_v want_v contrary_a unto_o jam._n 2.10_o &_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o divine_n 2._o if_o the_o four_o con_v be_v not_o as_o ancient_a as_o the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o it_o must_v be_v absurd_o suppose_v that_o the_o decalogue_n have_v not_o always_o 10_o commandment_n in_o it_o as_o it_o have_v deut._n 10.4_o if_o then_o the_o four_o come_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o other_o 9_o commandment_n than_o the_o sabbath_n therein_o command_v must_v be_v as_o ancient_a as_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v for_o antiquity_n from_o the_o creation_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n until_o the_o law_n be_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o or_o at_o soon_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n exo_n 16.1.23_o well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v not_o soon_o mention_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o soon_o in_o use_n the_o law_n against_o murder_n it_o be_v not_o mention_v at_o the_o soon_o until_o after_o the_o murder_n of_o abel_n genes_n 4.15_o but_o will_v it_o thereof_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n against_o murder_n before_o kaine_n kill_v habel_n we_o know_v many_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o be_v not_o record_v for_o else_o the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n joh._n 21.25_o on_o the_o contrary_a for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v in_o use_n exo._n 16.23_o before_o the_o four_o come_v be_v give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n ex._n 20.1.8_o it_o be_v therefore_o the_o most_o lik_o that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o creation_n for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o its_o first_o original_n at_o mount_n sinai_n when_o can_v it_o be_v think_v to_o have_v its_o begin_n but_o at_o the_o creation_n together_o with_o the_o other_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n iii_o my_o three_o reason_n that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v from_o the_o creation_n be_v because_o we_o find_v not_o the_o spiritual_a work_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n particular_o express_v in_o the_o four_o come_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n exod._n 20._o nor_o yet_o in_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o same_o law_n before_o in_o the_o

before_o either_o of_o these_o law_n be_v write_v exod._n 20._o or_o exod._n 16.5.23.28_o otherwise_o god_n himself_o will_v in_o some_o of_o these_o text_n have_v express_v particular_o unto_o they_o after_o what_o manner_n and_o where_o withal_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v this_o day_n the_o same_o be_v also_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o four_o come_v remember_v remember_v the_o

this_o point_n the_o lord_n need_v not_o say_v any_o more_o unto_o they_o but_o remember_v it_o etc._n etc._n i_o have_v often_o marvel_v in_o myself_o why_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o punctual_o &_o express_o to_o mention_v the_o corporal_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o rest_v from_o bodily_a labour_n and_o be_v so_o silent_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v when_o the_o law_n be_v

his_o four_o come_v how_o dangerous_a then_o be_v the_o case_n of_o such_o minister_n as_o have_v by_o their_o vain_a distinctiones_fw-la and_o fond_a objection_n not_o only_o abolish_v the_o lord_n

and_o that_o partly_o from_o their_o distinction_n and_o partly_o from_o their_o objection_n first_o for_o their_o distinction_n they_o do_v distinguish_v of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o rest_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o time_n now_o for_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n these_o be_v jewish_a out_o they_o ceremonial_a and_o

derive_v upon_o this_o distinction_n thus_o i_o argue_v if_o that_o time_n that_o be_v all_o that_o time_n which_o be_v command_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o comprise_v in_o these_o word_n the_o seven_o

sh_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o time_n leave_v in_o the_o four_o come_v for_o any_o sabbath_n day_n and_o by_o consequence_n no_o four_o come_v for_o the_o minor_a they_o can_v deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o limb_n of_o their_o own_o distinction_n for_o they_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o wit_n that_o ancient_a sabbath_n day_n command_v to_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o by_o their_o abolish_n of_o that_o very_a day_n and_o time_n which_o the_o jew_n keep_v to_o wit_n that_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o seven_o day_n they_o have_v abolish_v

we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o

must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o redemption_n but_o where_o be_v their_o imitation_n of_o christ_n do_v they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o follow_v their_o calling_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o christ_n do_v &_o do_v they_o keep_v every_o three_o day_n a_o lord_n day_n and_o sabbath_n day_n as_o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o three_o day_n no_o such_o matter_n furthermore_o whereas_o they_o suppose_v that_o we_o have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v a_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o creation_n i_o deny_v it_o for_o god_n have_v give_v the_o jew_n the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o it_o alone_o to_o keep_v in_o memory_n his_o creation_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a because_o they_o have_v no_o other_o help_n but_o for_o we_o &_o for_o the_o redemption_n we_o have_v two_o sacrament_n baptism_n &_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o redemption_n &_o

the_o creation_n when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o have_v one_o to_o keep_v memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n they_o have_v also_o a_o
day_n than_o friday_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n now_o i_o trust_v no_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n keep_v friday_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n no_o nor_o yet_o that_o they_o

by_o all_o christian_a church_n be_v romish_n but_o as_o a_o other_o holy_a day_n until_o luther_n and_o many_o year_n since_o for_o until_o luther_n or_o thereabouts_o our_o church_n have_v

so_o long_o what_o 1600_o year_n they_o bewray_v their_o own_o error_n &_o ignorance_n to_o speak_v so_o for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o church_n never_o account_v it_o or_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o

that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n or_o sabbath_n day_n in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v mean_v all_o sabbath_n day_n universal_o &_o general_o &_o so_o if_o all_o sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v than_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n also_o be_v abolish_v hereunto_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o law_n moral_a &_o a_o law_n ceremonial_a now_o when_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n have_v abolish_v the_o law_n of_o commandment_n ephe._n 2.15_o &_o again_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n heb._n 7.12_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v press_v these_o text_n to_o

but_o not_o the_o law_n moral_a so_o may_v i_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o moral_a

yearly_a sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v never_o write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n levit._n 23.24.39_o now_o this_o their_o text_n may_v be_v understod_a only_o of_o these_o yearly_a &_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o not_o of_o the_o moral_a &_o weekly_a sabbath_n &_o thus_o be_v these_o two_o scripture_n exod._n 20.8_o &_o col._n 2.16_o reconcile_a and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o all_o sabbath_n be_v mean_v in_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o all_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n that_o all_o those_o sabbath_n be_v abolish_v for_o there_o be_v a_o all_o of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v many_o so_o then_o we_o may_v understand_v this_o text_n to_o abolish_v all_o sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v the_o generality_n of_o all_o yearly_a sabbath_n since_o there_o be_v a_o generality_n of_o they_o or_o by_o all_o we_o may_v understand_v all_o these_o sabbath_n exclude_v the_o morall-law_n or_o table_n of_o stone_n that_o be_v all_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n &_o so_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o touch_v in_o this_o text_n thus_o you_o see_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o why_o they_o shall_v hale_v in_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n for_o a_o fit_a distinction_n may_v salve_v all_o wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v violent_o wring_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n into_o this_o text_n it_o be_v wilful_o do_v of_o they_o to_o satisfy_v some_o corrupt_a humour_n or_o other_o you_o see_v this_o text_n may_v safe_o &_o sound_o be_v expound_v of_o the_o annual_a sabbath_n only_o without_o any_o the_o least_o violence_n offer_v unto_o this_o text_n furthermore_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o shadow_n he_o do_v not_o say_v all_o sabbath_n use_v the_o general_a particle_n all_o but_o he_o speak_v indefinite_o say_v sabbath_n or_o sabbath_n day_n without_o this_o word_n all_o &_o therefore_o may_v be_v

thereof_o follow_v that_o therefore_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o sabbath_n day_n general_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o plurality_n &_o a_o generality_n between_o sabbaht_n plural_o &_o sabbath_n general_o for_o the_o apostle_n may_v make_v sabbath_n plural_o that_o be_v many_o sabbath_n to_o be_v shadow_n &_o yet_o not_o make_v sabbath_n general_o that_o be_v all_o sabbath_n to_o

weakness_n of_o which_o argument_n we_o may_v see_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o love_n to_o god_n &_o his_o ordinance_n &_o to_o his_o law_n for_o strong_a love_n will_v never_o permit_v they_o to_o

sabbath_n an_o other_o argument_n they_o draw_v out_o of_o this_o text_n against_o the_o lord_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o they_o be_v wonderouse_a eager_a upon_o it_o &_o desire_v exceed_o to_o

that_o by_o sabbath_n in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n understand_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o one_o because_o say_v they_o under_o the_o word_n holy_a day_n be_v mean_v all_o

will_v have_v one_o of_o 7._o thus_o they_o lean_a upon_o this_o false_a exposition_n of_o the_o come_v that_o by_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v to_o be_v unsterstod_a one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o by_o one_o of_o 7_o they_o mean_v any_o one_o of_o the_o 7_o or_o some_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o other_o with_o out_o difference_n thus_o these_o enemy_n to_o god_n sabbath_n do_v corrupt_v the_o

thing_n for_o the_o subversion_n of_o this_o sacred_a ordinance_n god_n sabbath_n day_n my_o first_o argument_n against_o this_o evasion_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o the_o word_n seven_o use_v in_o the_o four_o come_v it_o be_v not_o a_o cardinal_n as_o they_o cale_fw-la it_z but_o a_o ordinall_n word_n of_o number_n it_o note_v but_o one_o of_o that_o number_n and_o its_o order_n also_o as_o

7_o but_o the_o last_o for_o order_n of_o all_o the_o 7._o they_o do_v therefore_o most_o shameful_o corrupt_v the_o word_n of_o god_n who_o when_o they_o hear_v god_n say_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o seven_o be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o number_n or_o week_n than_o they_o will_v come_v in_o with_o their_o device_n to_o defeat_v god_n of_o his_o

as_o the_o last_o day_n 2._o the_o absurdety_n of_o this_o answer_n and_o exposition_n may_v appear_v by_o the_o like_a case_n the_o passover_o be_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v eat_v upon_o the_o 14_o

of_o the_o 14._o again_o they_o be_v to_o circumcise_v a_o child_n on_o the_o 8_o day_n i_o say_v these_o man_n that_o be_v upon_o one_o or_o upon_o some_o one_o of_o the_o 8_o day_n so_o they_o may_v at_o their_o choice_n circumcise_v a_o child_n on_o the_o four_o or_o 6_o day_n of_o its_o age_n thus_o by_o their_o exposititione_n they_o make_v god_n law_n of_o none_o effect_v for_o god_n make_v
