of_o god_n alone_o who_o only_o be_v there_o to_o be_v serve_v and_o not_o of_o any_o saint_n as_o in_o time_n pass_v they_o have_v be_v and_o so_o ought_v the_o day_n also_o as_o under_o the_o law_n all_o the_o sabbath_n be_v consecrate_v unto_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n of_o his_o church_n and_o all_o other_o day_n that_o be_v now_o put_v a_o part_n among_o we_o from_o the_o common_a affair_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v sanctify_v to_o that_o end_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o put_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o these_o holy_a day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n or_o lord_n day_n first_o of_o all_o in_o that_o we_o know_v this_o late_a to_o stand_v upon_o a_o better_a foundation_n than_o they_o as_o have_v his_o institution_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o so_o do_v bind_v all_o nation_n and_o be_v perpetual_a never_o to_o be_v change_v whereas_o the_o former_a have_v their_o warrant_n only_o from_o man_n and_o so_o do_v not_o bind_v all_o church_n alike_o and_o may_v be_v change_v yea_o take_v clean_o away_o and_o serve_v only_o for_o christian_a policy_n and_o good_a order_n in_o the_o church_n that_o man_n upon_o these_o day_n may_v come_v together_o and_o serve_v god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v provide_v that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v too_o many_o of_o they_o lest_o thereby_o man_n shall_v be_v hinder_v from_o the_o necessary_a work_n of_o their_o calling_n which_o have_v move_v the_o reform_a church_n as_o in_o this_o realm_n so_o elsewhere_a to_o cut_v off_o many_o that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v themselves_o in_o a_o mediocrity_n neither_o have_v too_o many_o nor_o put_v down_o all_o second_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o keep_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o on_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n the_o law_n of_o our_o kingdom_n and_o church_n do_v restrain_v all_o man_n from_o many_o thing_n as_o from_o market_n and_o fair_n and_o keep_v of_o assize_n and_o session_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n which_o they_o do_v tolerate_v and_o permit_v upon_o other_o holiday_n whereas_o in_o the_o time_n of_o blindness_n they_o sometime_o prefer_v these_o day_n before_o the_o sabbath_n and_o have_v more_o solemn_a service_n and_o feast_n upon_o they_o and_o count_v it_o a_o more_o deadly_a sin_n then_o to_o work_v then_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n beside_o this_o they_o appoint_v these_o day_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n do_v thereby_o great_o dishonour_v the_o saint_n themselves_o for_o what_o great_a dishonour_n can_v there_o be_v unto_o any_o man_n then_o to_o make_v he_o a_o traitor_n and_o to_o give_v unto_o he_o that_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a only_a to_o the_o prince_n and_o if_o any_o shall_v in_o simplicity_n and_o good_a will_v ascribe_v so_o much_o to_o the_o great_a noble_a man_n in_o the_o realm_n that_o at_o the_o last_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o title_n that_o belong_v unto_o the_o king_n and_o so_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o suspicion_n of_o treason_n against_o his_o will_n it_o be_v no_o honour_n but_o dishonour_n unto_o he_o so_o the_o papist_n in_o extol_v the_o saint_n so_o high_o that_o they_o consecrate_v day_n unto_o they_o and_o thereby_o seek_v to_o honour_v they_o and_o hope_v that_o therefore_o they_o will_v become_v patron_n unto_o they_o all_o which_o be_v proper_a unto_o christ_n in_o so_o do_v they_o dishonour_v they_o for_o they_o make_v they_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o they_o to_o be_v traitor_n unto_o christ_n in_o rob_v he_o of_o that_o honour_n that_o be_v proper_a unto_o he_o and_o these_o saint_n if_o they_o be_v now_o alive_a upon_o earth_n will_v not_o only_o not_o take_v this_o honour_n unto_o themselves_o and_o thank_v they_o for_o it_o but_o altogether_o refuse_v it_o and_o rebuke_v they_o for_o it_o as_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n do_v unto_o the_o people_n at_o lystra_n when_o they_o bring_v bull_n with_o garland_n and_o will_v have_v sacrifice_v unto_o they_o they_o rend_v their_o clothes_n and_o run_v in_o among_o they_o 14_o act._n 14_o 14_o say_v o_o man_n why_o do_v you_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v man_n subject_a unto_o the_o like_a passion_n that_o you_o be_v and_o preach_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v turn_v from_o these_o vain_a thing_n unto_o the_o live_a god_n in_o this_o text_n there_o be_v these_o four_o thing_n principal_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o of_o all_o the_o great_a infidelity_n of_o s._n thomas_n the_o apostle_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n report_v unto_o he_o by_o all_o his_o fellow_n apostles_n who_o have_v see_v he_o v._o 24_o 25._o second_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o christ_n who_o do_v not_o cast_v he_o off_o and_o leave_v he_o to_o perish_v in_o this_o unbelief_n of_o he_o but_o most_o love_o in_o time_n convenient_a seek_v to_o pull_v he_o out_o of_o it_o by_o all_o good_a mean_n even_o the_o very_a same_o which_o himself_o desire_v vers_fw-la 26_o 27._o three_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n in_o thomas_n by_o these_o mean_n appear_v by_o the_o confession_n that_o he_o make_v after_o that_o he_o be_v thus_o confirm_v namely_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o but_o for_o he_o and_o therefore_o call_v he_o his_o lord_n and_o his_o god_n v._n 28._o last_o here_o christ_n upon_o this_o occasion_n deliver_v a_o general_a doctrine_n and_o so_o appli_v this_o fact_n of_o thomas_n unto_o the_o whole_a church_n even_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v who_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o though_o they_o do_v not_o see_v he_o as_o he_o have_v do_v i_o do_v not_o purpose_n to_o entreat_v of_o all_o these_o but_o only_o of_o so_o much_o as_o do_v concern_v the_o unbelief_n of_o s._n thomas_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o it_o it_o may_v seem_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o s._n john_n in_o his_o gospel_n do_v write_v this_o of_o his_o fellow_n apostle_n see_v it_o tend_v so_o whole_o to_o his_o discredit_n the_o other_o evangelist_n all_o of_o they_o have_v leave_v it_o out_o it_o may_v seem_v in_o favour_n of_o he_o and_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o it_o have_v be_v better_a if_o he_o have_v pass_v it_o over_o with_o silence_n also_o but_o this_o apostle_n live_v long_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n about_o a_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o so_o see_v all_o their_o writing_n do_v add_v this_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o special_a moment_n as_o indeed_o in_o it_o there_o be_v offer_v to_o the_o church_n great_a instruction_n and_o consolation_n and_o this_o plain_a deal_n of_o his_o be_v a_o note_n of_o that_o integrity_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n as_o be_v pen_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o they_o come_v not_o in_o old_a time_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v 1.2_o 2._o pet._n 1.2_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n do_v speak_v and_o write_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o they_o great_o differ_v from_o the_o writing_n of_o man_n which_o savour_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o so_o be_v in_o many_o thing_n partial_a as_o this_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n in_o many_o historiographer_n that_o they_o flatter_v great_a man_n and_o speak_v only_o of_o their_o virtue_n which_o they_o set_v out_o to_o the_o full_a but_o their_o vice_n either_o they_o whole_o conceal_v or_o light_o pass_v they_o over_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v their_o friend_n and_o of_o the_o same_o rank_n and_o order_n with_o they_o as_o s._n thomas_n be_v unto_o the_o apostle_n s._n john_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v no_o more_o partial_a then_o god_n himself_o with_o who_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n 2.11_o ●om_n 2.11_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o penner_n of_o they_o do_v lay_v open_a the_o great_a sin_n of_o the_o great_a man_n in_o their_o time_n even_o of_o the_o king_n and_o of_o the_o priest_n 2.8_o sam._n 2.8_o as_o of_o heli_n how_o he_o honour_v his_o child_n above_o god_n and_o cause_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v

they_o will_v believe_v nothing_o that_o be_v threaten_v against_o sin_n any_o further_a than_o they_o see_v and_o feel_v it_o themselves_o when_o in_o the_o famine_n of_o samaria_n there_o be_v
