unwillingness_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o integrity_n &_o perfection_n of_o god_n law_n &_o consequent_o that_o they_o love_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n yea_o a_o worse_a matter_n

question_n let_v we_o apply_v this_o then_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n on_o the_o saturday_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n la_o &_o plain_a enough_o too_o if_o man_n have_v mind_n to_o see_v but_o because_o of_o their_o unwillingenesse_n to_o side_n it_o with_o god_n for_o his_o sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v here_o suppose_v the_o matter_n doubtful_a where_o no_o doubt_n be_v &_o but_o probable_a conjectural_a &_o lik_o that_o god_n sabbath_n be_v thing_n probable_a conjectural_a &_o lik_o to_o be_v in_o force_n i_o thus_o make_v it_o good_a 1._o because_o they_o stand_v write_v &_o in_o

belong_v unto_o we_o &_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v less_o then_o lyk_o that_o this_o for_o god_n sabbath_n also_o shall_v belong_v unto_o we_o especial_o since_o also_o they_o confess_v that_o the_o other_o duty_n of_o rest_n &_o holiness_n command_v at_o one_o breath_n with_o the_o time_n of_o god_n sabbath_n &_o in_o the_o self_n same_o commandment_n these_o belong_v unto_o we_o it_o can_v be_v then_o but_o lik_o at_o the_o least_o that_o the_o time_n of_o god_n sabbath_n also_o shall_v belong_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o 9_o of_o the_o 10._o come_v shall_v descend_v unto_o we_o &_o not_o the_o whole_a 10._o nay_o more_o strange_a it_o be_v that_o 9_o &_o a_o half_a or_o that_o 9_o &_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o 10_o shall_v descend_v unto_o we_o &_o not_o all_o the_o 10._o full_o &_o complete_o yet_o such_o strange_a stuff_n be_v deliver_v we_o now_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v it_o it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n shall_v descend_v to_o king_n charles_n with_o all_o the_o shire_n county_n &_o city_n save_v london_n or_o norwich_n 3_o it_o be_v likly_a &_o probable_a that_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n be_v we_o because_o they_o be_v

4._o there_o be_v some_o probability_n in_o it_o in_o that_o some_o one_o man_n as_o myself_o do_v stand_v up_o to_o defend_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n let_v but_o any_o one_o man_n in_o a_o county_n rise_v up_o &_o inform_v for_o theke_v and_o forth_o with_o the_o judge_n of_o assize_n will_v admit_v his_o information_n and_o counsel_n shall_v plead_v for_o the_o cause_n albeit_o the_o judge_n nor_o happy_o hardly_o any_o in_o the_o whole_a county_n do_v know_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v so_o beside_o the_o informer_n and_o one_o or_o two_o more_o with_o he_o so_o then_o the_o information_n by_o one_o single_a man_n may_v make_v the_o matter_n probable_a and_o likly_a to_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o clear_a case_n then_o that_o by_o common_a presumption_n it_o be_v not_o less_o than_o likly_a that_o the_o saturday_n sabbath_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n law_n belong_v unto_o us._n be_v it_o so_o what_o remain_v then_o but_o that_o we_o exhort_v and_o persuade_v man_n every_o where_o

it_o or_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o it_o to_o this_o end_n let_v i_o propound_v unto_o you_o sundry_a reason_n and_o motive_n as_o 1._o the_o law_n of_o god_n with_o all_o the_o part_n

keep_v both_o these_o as_o sabbath_n the_o friday_n &_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v have_v keep_v ij_o or_o iij_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n thus_o you_o see_v their_o argument_n fetch_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a sect_n xx._n their_o three_o argument_n from_o testimony_n be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n together_o for_o say_v they_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n now_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n &_o upward_o &_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o god_n church_n shall_v lay_v in_o a_o error_n so_o long_o what_o sixetene_n hundred_v year_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v not_o ever_o &_o in_o all_o place_n keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v neglect_v of_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n until_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o christian_a emperor_n so_o as_o in_o all_o porbability_n it_o be_v not_o keep_v for_o 300_o year_n by_o some_o church_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v quote_v out_o of_o perkins_n in_o the_o last_o section_n before_o this_o 2._o in_o those_o church_n where_o it_o be_v keep_v it_o be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o as_o a_o holy_a day_n remissly_a and_o with_o work_n of_o husbandry_n do_v in_o it_o &_o like_v as_o they_o keep_v their_o friday_n as_o we_o have_v show_v in_o the_o former_a section_n 3._o since_o those_o foremost_a age_n of_o the_o church_n it_o have_v be_v keep_v 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 lyen_fw-we bury_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n as_o wheat_n in_o the_o chaff_n now_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v hold_n &_o maintain_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v but_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v but_o like_o a_o other_o holy_a day_n &_o not_o by_o the_o four_o come_v &_o herein_o they_o be_v near_o the_o truth_n than_o we_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v jump_v and_o agree_v with_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o constantins_n time_n &_o how_o both_o in_o constantins_n time_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n since_o until_o luther_n time_n the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v account_v but_o as_o a_o holy_a day_n the_o contrary_a whereto_o can_v be_v show_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o account_n the_o church_n have_v make_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o luther_n time_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o fiften_v hundred_v year_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o the_o time_n since_o luther_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o survey_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o france_n &_o the_o low_a country_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o have_v keep_v it_o remissly_a like_o a_o holy_a day_n not_o like_o a_o sabbath_n day_n save_v that_o in_o the_o low_a country_n at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v more_o solemn_o keep_v much_o what_o as_o solemn_o as_o we_o in_o england_n keep_v it_o now_o but_o they_o have_v not_o keep_v it_o so_o solemn_o until_o now_o of_o late_a year_n as_o within_o this_o 7_o or_o 10_o year_n or_o thereabouts_o as_o be_v well_o know_v come_v we_o then_o unto_o our_o own_o church_n which_o be_v the_o most_o famous_a church_n for_o keep_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n of_o any_o other_o i_o demand_v how_o long_o our_o church_n of_o england_n have_v keep_v this_o day_n so_o zealous_o as_o now_o it_o do_v it_o be_v well_o know_v by_o man_n of_o year_n that_o can_v but_o remember_v 40_o or_o 50_o year_n ago_o that_o then_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v as_o it_o be_v now_o i_o spare_v to_o make_v a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o ordinary_a work_n of_o man_n caleing_n then_o do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n public_o &_o frequent_o i_o can_v remember_v 40_o year_n past_a and_o yet_o in_o my_o time_n i_o can_v remember_v such_o ordinary_a work_n do_v general_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n as_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n work_v i_o be_o sure_a but_o for_o the_o particular_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n of_o great_a age_n &_o more_o year_n thus_o i_o have_v brief_o give_v you_o a_o survey_n of_o the_o time_n &_o age_n of_o the_o church_n &_o how_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v in_o account_n &_o in_o practice_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n until_o now_o with_o in_o these_o 40_o or_o 50_o year_n &_o hitherto_o it_o have_v not_o be_v keep_v like_o a_o sabbath_n day_n how_o then_o can_v the_o patron_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n boast_v that_o it_o bathe_v be_v keep_v as_o a_o sabbath_n in_o the_o church_n constant_o for_o sixetene_n hundred_o year_n &_o whereas_o they_o ask_v by_o way_n of_o admiration_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n shall_v lie_v in_o a_o error_n 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 sabbath_n day_n but_o for_o a_o holy_a day_n remissly_a for_o 1500_o or_o 1600_o year_n together_o but_o admit_v that_o our_o church_n or_o some_o in_o our_o church_n rather_o have_v account_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n by_o the_o four_o come_v for_o this_o 40_o year_n or_o 50_o year_n make_v they_o such_o a_o wonder_n that_o a_o church_n may_v lie_v in_o such_o a_o error_n as_o this_o be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v unpossible_a what_o will_v they_o then_o say_v unto_o the_o church_n that_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n that_o neglect_v the_o lord_n day_n all_o together_o for_o a_o matter_n of_o 300_o year_n until_o it_o be_v reviue_v by_o christian_a emperor_n as_o we_o have_v former_o prove_v why_o may_v not_o our_o church_n or_o some_o in_o our_o church_n rather_o err_v in_o think_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n when_o it_o be_v not_o as_o well_o as_o those_o church_n which_o succeed_v the_o apostle_n do_v err_v as_o these_o man_n think_v that_o patronag_n the_o lord_n day_n in_o think_v the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v at_o all_o if_o they_o may_v err_v for_o 300_o year_n together_o may_v it_o not_o be_v think_v possible_a for_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n to_o err_v for_o 40_o or_o 50_o year_n together_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o have_v err_v so_o long_o it_o be_v the_o error_n only_o of_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n who_o have_v err_v from_o their_o cradle_n &_o they_o think_v therefore_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n have_v also_o ever_o be_v in_o error_n with_o they_o from_o the_o apostle_n day_n until_o now_o indeed_o they_o will_v fain_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o all_o god_n church_n have_v ever_o be_v of_o their_o mind_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o you_o see_v they_o be_v foul_o beguile_v there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n it_o be_v but_o their_o dream_n when_o they_o awake_v they_o will_v see_v better_o it_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v to_o see_v how_o by_o this_o gold_v conceit_n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o constant_o keep_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n since_o the_o apostle_n they_o have_v lead_v the_o world_n after_o they_o and_o now_o they_o have_v breed_v such_o a_o firuent_a zeal_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o man_n as_o that_o they_o think_v it_o no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o it_o as_o they_o hold_v it_o but_o since_o they_o have_v allege_v unto_o we_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n i_o wish_v they_o will_v stand_v to_o their_o own_o argument_n and_o that_o they_o will_v subscribe_v unto_o it_o that_o we_o be_v no_o otherwise_o bind_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o can_v be_v prove_v the_o primitive_a church_n practisedit_n for_o than_o shall_v not_o all_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n but_o some_o may_v keep_v it_o that_o please_v so_o to_o do_v and_o other_o church_n may_v omit_v the_o keep_n of_o it_o who_o please_v not_o to_o keep_v it_o for_o so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n some_o keep_v it_o but_o othersome_a keep_v it_o not_o no_o not_o for_o 300_o year_n
