and_o just_a that_o this_o last_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n shall_v yield_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n unto_o it_o 2_o to_o underprop_v this_o opinion_n they_o have_v broach_v

have_v say_v that_o god_n finish_v all_o his_o work_n in_o six_o day_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n add_v and_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 he_o create_v and_o make_v of_o which_o word_n they_o conclude_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o creation_n be_v end_v and_o the_o seven_o day_n begin_v to_o subsist_v in_o nature_n it_o be_v bless_v and_o sanctify_a that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o god_n service_n and_o ordain_v even_o then_o to_o our_o first_o parent_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o they_o for_o this_o end_n and_o therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n be_v moral_a be_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a ceremonial_a see_v it_o be_v establish_v before_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n at_o which_o time_n there_o be_v no_o shadow_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n because_o in_o that_o state_n of_o innocency_n our_o first_o parent_n have_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o nor_o of_o any_o direction_n to_o he_o by_o ceremony_n if_o then_o in_o that_o estate_n wherein_o no_o corruption_n of_o sin_n have_v hinder_v they_o to_o serve_v god_n continual_o and_o the_o bodily_a employment_n have_v be_v no_o great_a disturbance_n unto_o they_o in_o the_o

themselves_o only_o to_o the_o action_n of_o his_o service_n and_o all_o religious_a exercise_n how_o much_o more_o in_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n wherein_o man_n have_v so_o many_o hindrance_n from_o god_n service_n both_o by_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o laborious_a occupation_n of_o their_o worldly_a calling_n be_v it_o necessary_a that_o a_o set_a day_n of_o rest_n be_v ordain_v unto_o they_o to_o cease_v whole_o in_o it_o from_o the_o turmoil_v of_o their_o secular_a affair_n and_o to_o give_v themselves_o only_o to_o holy_a and_o religious_a exercise_n belong_v to_o god_n service_n this_o necessity_n be_v as_o great_a under_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o old_a and_o therefore_o god_n have_v not_o omit_v to_o ordain_v under_o both_o a_o sabbath_n day_n yea_o a_o seven_o day_n of_o rest_n which_o be_v establish_v before_o sin_n and_o consequent_o be_v moral_a bind_v all_o man_n perpetual_o 3_o there_o be_v divers_a mean_n to_o answer_v this_o objection_n first_o nothing_o oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o word_n write_v in_o the_o three_o verse_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n shall_v be_v thus_o translate_v and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o as_o if_o moses_n have_v mean_v to_o express_v a_o time_n past_o long_a before_o his_o pen_n of_o this_o book_n and_o to_o tell_v that_o this_o blessing_n

and_o god_n have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o have_v sanctify_v it_o &_o understand_v as_o be_v say_v with_o a_o parenthesis_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o ordinance_n which_o god_n have_v late_o make_v in_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n concern_v the_o seven_o day_n when_o he_o give_v by_o his_o ministry_n the_o law_n of_o the_o israelite_n which_o ordinance_n moses_n make_v mention_v of_o in_o his_o relation_n to_o the_o history_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o of_o a_o thing_n establish_v and_o know_v of_o the_o israelite_n when_o he_o write_v &_o by_o occasion_n of_o that_o he_o have_v say_v that_o god_n after_o he_o have_v create_v all_o his_o work_n in_o six_o day_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n so_o we_o may_v give_v this_o exposition_n to_o moses_n word_n god_n make_v all_o his_o work_n in_o six_o day_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o thence_o he_o take_v occasion_n to_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v now_o that_o day_n give_v commandment_n by_o his_o law_n to_o

down_o some_o example_n 4_o first_o we_o find_v divers_a place_n name_v by_o anticipation_n as_o in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n verse_n 8._o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n remove_v unto_o a_o mountain_n eastward_o from_o bethel_n which_o name_n of_o bethel_n be_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n the_o name_n of_o the_o place_n betoken_v by_o it_o in_o the_o foresay_a word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o call_v bethel_n till_o in_o it_o jacob_n see_v a_o ladder_n reach_v to_o heaven_n and_o the_o lord_n stand_v above_o it_o then_o jacob_n call_v it_o bethel_n that_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n whereas_o before_o that_o time_n it_o be_v call_v luz_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o genesis_n chap._n 28._o vers_fw-la 13._o 19_o but_o moses_n write_v the_o history_n of_o abraham_n call_v it_o bethel_n by_o a_o historical_a anticipation_n because_o in_o his_o time_n bethel_n be_v the_o ordinary_a name_n of_o that_o place_n we_o read_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o joshuah_n vers_fw-la 19_o that_o the_o people_n come_v up_o out_o of_o jordan_n and_o pitch_v in_o gilgal_n which_o be_v not_o so_o call_v till_o joshuah_n in_o that_o place_n circumcise_v the_o people_n chap._n 5._o vers_fw-la 9_o likewise_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o judge_n and_o first_o verse_n the_o author_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v up_o from_o gilgal_n to_o bokim_n because_o the_o place_n which_o he_o call_v bokim_n be_v so_o call_v when_o he_o write_v that_o history_n although_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o call_v when_o the_o angel_n come_v thither_o but_o receive_v that_o name_n afterward_o from_o the_o tear_n which_o the_o people_n shed_v and_o pour_v out_o before_o god_n after_o the_o angel_n have_v rebuke_v they_o for_o the_o text_n say_v that_o when_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n speak_v these_o word_n to_o all_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o people_n lift_v up_o their_o voice_n and_o weep_v therefore_o they_o call_v the_o name_n of_o that_o place_n bokim_n vers_fw-la 4_o 5._o 5_o second_o we_o find_v the_o same_o anticipation_n in_o the_o description_n of_o thing_n and_o action_n as_o in_o the_o 16._o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la where_o moses_n report_v how_o god_n begin_v first_o to_o give_v manna_n to_o the_o israelite_n which_o i_o pretend_v also_o to_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o how_o the_o israelite_n carry_v themselves_o about_o the_o order_n thereof_o and_o immediate_o he_o add_v how_o he_o by_o god_n command_n ordain_v that_o a_o omer_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v fill_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o israelite_n vers_fw-la 32._o and_o give_v a_o injunction_n to_o aaron_n to_o take_v a_o pot_n to_o put_v in_o it_o that_o omer_n full_a of_o manna_n and_o to_o lay_v it_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v keep_v for_o their_o generation_n vers_fw-la 33._o he_o recite_v also_o at_o once_o that_o as_o the_o lord_n command_v he_o so_o aaron_n lay_v it_o up_o before_o the_o testimony_n to_o be_v keep_v vers_fw-la 34._o which_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a be_v not_o do_v at_o the_o first_o when_o god_n give_v they_o that_o bread_n to_o eat_v because_o then_o there_o be_v as_o yet_o neither_o tabernacle_n nor_o ark_n nor_o table_n of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o when_o moses_n write_v all_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o

to_o god_n service_n to_o wit_n 1._o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o natural_a justice_n of_o perpetual_a necessity_n and_o whereunto_o all_o be_v tie_v by_o a_o moral_a commandment_n appertain_v to_o the_o new_a as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o of_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n one_o be_v keep_v for_o the_o end_n aforesaid_a 2._o if_o before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o

his_o service_n and_o command_v to_o adam_n and_o to_o all_o his_o posterity_n the_o hallow_n and_o keep_v of_o it_o 3._o if_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o divine_a ordinance_n of_o such_o a_o day_n of_o rest_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n 4._o and_o if_o by_o god_n command_n the_o conscience_n of_o faithful_a christian_n be_v under_o the_o gospel_n as_o much_o oblige_v to_o hallow_v it_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o for_o the_o better_a and_o more_o religious_a sanctification_n thereof_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o outward_a work_n which_o be_v lawful_a and_o be_v practise_v on_o other_o day_n lest_o they_o shall_v transgress_v that_o divine_a commandment_n and_o so_o fin_n against_o religion_n and_o conscience_n these_o be_v the_o main_a point_n which_o some_o learned_a divine_n and_o godly_a christian_n instruct_v by_o they_o demur_v upon_o 1._o some_o of_o they_o deem_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v a_o moral_a and_o natural_a duty_n that_o god_n himself_o sanctify_v it_o for_o his_o service_n by_o a_o express_a and_o perpetual_a commandment_n that_o so_o it_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n so_o it_o be_v still_o and_o shall_v never_o be_v otherwise_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 2._o that_o before_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o
