particular_a rite_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n more_o particular_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o the_o apostle_n towards_o its_o exclusion_n from_o the_o christian_a church_n than_o circumcision_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o express_a command_n against_o it_o that_o i_o know_v of_o and_o i_o assert_v that_o let_v he_o bring_v what_o argument_n he_o can_v from_o these_o epistle_n against_o it_o i_o will_v produce_v the_o same_o against_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n and_o so_o they_o must_v either_o stand_v or_o fall_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n and_o so_o must_v the_o other_o ceremony_n that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n again_o here_o he_o recur_v to_o the_o danger_n and_o presumption_n of_o indulge_v to_o conjecture_n and_o humane_a fancy_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n without_o any_o warrant_n from_o scripture_n or_o against_o the_o command_n thereof_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o honour_v god_n and_o christ_n thereby_o and_o unworthy_o apply_v all_o this_o to_o the_o assertor_n of_o the_o lordsday_n but_o to_o this_o we_o have_v answer_v already_o and_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o be_v as_o innocent_a in_o this_o respect_n as_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o his_o answer_n to_o this_o argument_n for_o the_o first-day-sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v not_o so_o leave_v it_o but_o speak_v what_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v direct_v to_o the_o vindication_n of_o it_o and_o here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o solitary_a proof_n that_o we_o bring_v for_o the_o lords-day_n holy_a observation_n for_o than_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v no_o great_a weight_n with_o it_o but_o first_o we_o undertake_v to_o prove_v a_o abolition_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o word_n and_o then_o propose_v the_o first_o day_n as_o bid_v fair_o of_o all_o the_o other_o weekday_n for_o it_o because_o we_o acknowledge_v one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o to_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o to_o be_v positive_o and_o secondary_o moral_a in_o it_o and_o that_o therefore_o there_o lie_v still_o a_o obligation_n upon_o all_o the_o church_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n at_o least_o all_o who_o may_v have_v the_o command_v entire_o convey_v to_o they_o and_o due_o teach_v they_o for_o there_o may_v be_v a_o case_n of_o exemption_n in_o this_o particular_a as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o progress_n and_o we_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v cashier_v the_o first_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v its_o successor_n and_o that_o because_o of_o the_o glorious_a privilege_n of_o this_o day_n above_o all_o other_o of_o the_o week_n whereof_o this_o of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v chief_a because_o this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n the_o redeemer_n enter_v into_o his_o rest_n and_o our_o argument_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v both_o a_o pari_fw-la &_o a_o majori_fw-la from_o equality_n and_o eminence_n equality_n with_o and_o eminency_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o as_o the_o creator_n have_v finish_v the_o six_o day_n work_v and_o rest_v the_o seven_o be_v make_v a_o positive_a motive_n for_o the_o observance_n of_o that_o day_n for_o a_o religious_a rest_n during_o all_o the_o time_n that_o jehovah_n rest_v from_o no_o other_o more_o eminent_a work_n of_o he_o so_o we_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o rest_n of_o god_n the_o redeemer_n from_o that_o his_o great_a work_n of_o redemption_n on_o the_o first_o day_n may_v be_v as_o good_a a_o motive_n for_o the_o consecrate_v thereof_o to_o a_o religious_a rest_n for_o here_o we_o suppose_v the_o seven_o day_n exclude_v yea_o we_o argue_v a_o fortiori_fw-la and_o say_v it_o may_v much_o more_o upon_o this_o account_n challenge_v its_o holy_a observation_n because_o 1._o the_o rest_n of_o jehovah_n after_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v no_o proper_a rest_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v but_o now_o his_o rest_n after_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o

we_o have_v very_o good_a ground_n to_o conclude_v that_o he_o ascend_v upon_o thursday_n and_o he_o have_v no_o ground_n but_o his_o own_o conjecture_n for_o his_o opinion_n of_o his_o ascension_n upon_o saturday_n but_o every_o little_a surmise_n be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o exalt_v the_o seven_o above_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o especial_o above_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o this_o controversy_n as_o to_o that_o fancy_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v to_o judgement_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n i_o leave_v it_o as_o a_o pure_a fancy_n here_o also_o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o our_o saviour_n after_o his_o resurrection_n appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o at_o least_o he_o suppose_v it_o may_v well_o be_v grant_v because_o they_o be_v then_o assemble_v etc._n etc._n but_o he_o know_v they_o meet_v together_o on_o other_o day_n and_o particular_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n on_o which_o our_o lord_n appear_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o assembly_n in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o act_n if_o it_o be_v on_o the_o ascension_n day_n be_v according_a to_o scripture_n number_v of_o day_n upon_o our_o thursday_n but_o see_v he_o will_v make_v use_n of_o if_o we_o will_v grant_v our_o lord_n appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n once_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n what_o a_o advantage_n may_v we_o just_o take_v for_o the_o first_o day_n from_o our_o saviour_n appear_v so_o often_o unto_o they_o on_o the_o same_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n name_v whereon_o our_o saviour_n manifest_v himself_o unto_o they_o after_o the_o resurrection_n but_o this_o first_o day_n it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o he_o appear_v unto_o they_o on_o the_o second_o or_o three_o nor_o at_o all_o on_o the_o seven_o and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o all_o the_o appearance_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v not_o a_o few_o be_v on_o the_o first_o day_n except_o only_o that_o on_o his_o ascension_n day_n it_o be_v worth_a our_o serious_a observance_n that_o as_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o grace_v the_o seven_o day_n with_o one_o particular_a express_a word_n of_o his_o mouth_n about_o it_o during_o his_o life-time_n so_o he_o will_v not_o honour_v it_o with_o one_o appearance_n of_o his_o human_a nature_n to_o his_o disciple_n throughout_o all_o the_o forty_o day_n after_o his_o resurrection_n which_o to_o i_o seem_v plain_o to_o signify_v that_o he_o will_v have_v a_o perpetual_a silence_n thereof_o in_o his_o future_a church_n and_o that_o he_o have_v bury_v it_o in_o his_o grave_n and_o will_v have_v it_o lie_v dormant_a there_o for_o ever_o sect_n xi_o have_v do_v with_o this_o conjecture_n we_o proceed_v to_o the_o author_n question_n in_o the_o same_o page_n whether_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v observe_v after_o the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o christ_n whereof_o he_o think_v he_o demonstrate_v the_o affirmative_a but_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o it_o by_o those_o instance_n which_o he_o bring_v from_o the_o apostle_n and_o especial_o and_o most_o from_o st._n paul_n yea_o only_o from_o he_o for_o though_o we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o many_o of_o the_o new_o proselyte_v jew_n to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o ordinary_a and_o common_a sort_n of_o they_o do_v continue_v to_o observe_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n out_o of_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o a_o persuasion_n of_o the_o perpetual_a obligation_n of_o the_o four_o command_n as_o to_o this_o seven_o day_n as_o they_o do_v also_o circumcision_n the_o passover_n and_o other_o moysaicall_a rite_n and_o consecrate_a time_n for_o all_o which_o st._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n and_o colossian_n do_v clear_o and_o severe_o reprove_v they_o yet_o we_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o never_o do_v so_o much_o less_o st._n paul_n the_o great_a doctor_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o great_a vindicator_n of_o their_o freedom_n from_o the_o rite_n and_o day_n of_o the_o old_a testament-administration_n for_o they_o be_v otherwise_o and_o better_o teach_v by_o their_o lord_n and_o instruct_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o they_o go_v indeed_o i_o mean_v paul_n and_o his_o companion_n into_o the_o synagogue_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n i_o mean_v here_o the_o seventh-day_n though_o it_o deserve_v not_o now_o that_o name_n but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o observance_n of_o that_o day_n as_o more_o holy_a than_o another_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o observance_n or_o deference_n to_o the_o synagogue_n as_o a_o more_o holy_a place_n than_o another_o that_o he_o go_v into_o it_o but_o it_o be_v because_o that_o then_o and_o there_o the_o jew_n be_v

not_o find_v so_o fit_a a_o opportunity_n any_o other_o day_n nor_o so_o convenient_a a_o room_n in_o any_o other_o place_n to_o converse_v with_o they_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o to_o prove_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o be_v god_n promise_v and_o their_o expect_a messiah_n to_o convince_v they_o hereof_o and_o to_o exhort_v they_o to_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o embrace_v he_o as_o such_o which_o his_o zeal_n for_o christ_n glory_n and_o his_o love_n to_o their_o soul_n strong_o constrain_v he_o to_o and_o this_o we_o assert_v be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o his_o so_o often_o and_o so_o unusual_a go_v into_o their_o synagogue_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n without_o any_o difference_n as_o to_o time_n and_o place_n as_o if_o it_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o any_o other_o we_o know_v how_o ardent_o he_o long_v after_o the_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n of_o his_o own_o countryman_n and_o kinsfolk_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n how_o fervent_o he_o pant_v after_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o they_o as_o that_o which_o will_v be_v their_o great_a good_a and_o his_o great_a glory_n in_o the_o world_n for_o so_o his_o enemy_n will_v become_v his_o friend_n his_o basphemer_n of_o he_o as_o the_o worst_a of_o deceiver_n will_v be_v turn_v to_o be_v his_o praiser_n adorer_n and_o relyer_n on_o he_o as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o constrain_v he_o to_o apply_v himself_o to_o they_o in_o every_o place_n and_o at_o every_o time_n where_o he_o may_v discourse_v with_o most_o of_o they_o and_o with_o great_a freedom_n and_o advantage_n and_o if_o the_o jew_n have_v convene_v on_o other_o day_n in_o other_o place_n in_o as_o great_a crowd_n he_o can_v doubtless_o then_o and_o there_o have_v apply_v himself_o unto_o they_o and_o have_v they_o accustom_v their_o assembly_n at_o any_o other_o time_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n he_o will_v have_v make_v it_o his_o custom_n and_o usual_a manner_n to_o have_v associate_v with_o they_o the_o reason_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o of_o paul_n go_v into_o the_o jew_n synagogue_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o make_v it_o his_o usual_a custom_n be_v not_o where_o say_v as_o i_o remember_v that_o he_o may_v worship_v with_o they_o much_o less_o that_o he_o may_v observe_v the_o
