the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o put_v up_o money_n in_o the_o congregation_n or_o assembly_n but_o of_o put_v it_o aside_o by_o himself_o now_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o lay_v up_o

for_o a_o collection_n for_o his_o ordinance_n be_v only_o for_o a_o preparation_n to_o a_o collection_n now_o these_o ij_o differ_v much_o to_o collect_v money_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o

i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o true_a necessity_n upon_o we_o to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o a_o season_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n with_o our_o

of_o our_o brethren_n &_o first_o of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o touch_v our_o body_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n i_o shall_v make_v necessity_n appear_v two_o way_n the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n sabbath_n than_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o a_o week_n to_o provide_v for_o our_o body_n and_o to_o compass_v the_o work_n of_o our_o

shall_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o every_o week_n or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o now_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v 6_o

we_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n than_o we_o offend_v the_o magistrate_n and_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n &_o hereupon_o will_v follow_v imprisonment_n of_o body_n &_o consequent_o poverty_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v imprison_v he_o must_v neglect_v his_o cale_a &_o mean_n of_o maintenance_n &_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n &_o

to_o he_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n namely_o the_o necessity_n of_o want_n poverty_n &_o hunger_n now_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o i_o will_v

6.1_o which_o work_v they_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v a_o little_a hunger_n and_o christ_n justify_v this_o action_n now_o if_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o

be_v account_v humble_a man_n because_o they_o do_v imitate_v christ_n some_o object_n thus_o i_o but_o you_o do_v not_o discreet_o to_o publish_v this_o point_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o the_o

to_o light_n and_o so_o as_o the_o people_n poor_a soul_n shall_v never_o have_v hear_v of_o it_o indeed_o i_o judge_v it_o discretion_n first_o to_o make_v tender_a of_o it_o to_o minister_n before_o

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

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

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

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

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

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
see_v that_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o have_v they_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o their_o flight_n upon_o it_o for_o the_o further_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o great_a consequence_n i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n bid_v they_o pray_v against_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o speak_v it_o because_o he_o will_v not_o

christ_n speak_v of_o flight_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o a_o religiouse_a respect_n &_o this_o may_v be_v yet_o further_o confirm_v unto_o we_o if_o we_o consider_v

as_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n than_o we_o can_v but_o think_v he_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o the_o four_o commandment_n for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n &_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o his_o heavenly_a father_n show_v what_o conscience_n man_n ought_v to_o make_v of_o do_v god_n will_v &_o keep_v of_o his_o

coldness_n of_o weather_n &_o c_o so_o why_o not_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o because_o of_o incommodiouse_a travail_v then_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o four_o come_v and_o man_n conscience_n which_o be_v a_o religiouse_a respect_n nay_o how_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o any_o man_n head_n to_o think_v that_o christ_n shall_v command_v they_o to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o any_o other_o sense_n then_o this_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o profane_v it_o and_o because_o he_o will_v have_v the_o will_n of_o his_o heavenly_a father_n

sabbath_n for_o the_o yet_o further_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n let_v it_o be_v note_v 1._o what_o be_v comprise_v in_o this_o word_n flight_n suppose_v christ_n have_v foreteld_v they_o that_o over_o a_o few_o year_n such_o a_o house_n shall_v be_v on_o fire_n in_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o have_v also_o bid_v they_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v put_v to_o quench_v the_o

here_o for_o this_o end_n consider_v that_o this_o be_v such_o a_o flight_n as_o be_v make_v out_o of_o a_o city_n by_o the_o inhabitant_n when_o the_o enemy_n have_v besiege_v it_o with_o soldier_n as_o you_o may_v see_v luk._n 21.20.21_o now_o when_o the_o besiege_a &_o distress_a citizen_n fly_v out_o from_o the_o violence_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o usual_o carry_v out_o with_o they_o whatsoever_o thing_n of_o worth_n they_o have_v in_o the_o city_n even_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a they_o can_v as_o their_o young_a infant_n and_o child_n their_o best_a apparel_n and_o other_o

of_o the_o body_n by_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n thus_o much_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o word_n flight_n so_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n bid_v they_o pray_v against_o flight_n on_o the_o

&_o a_o labour_a day_n the_o will_n of_o christ_n doubtless_o be_v none_o other_o than_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o four_o come_v that_o be_v that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v be_v careful_a

of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o profane_v a_o holy_a thing_n but_o to_o convert_v it_o unto_o common_a use_n &_o be_v it_o man_n travail_v to_o save_v their_o life_n yet_o since_o

so_o profane_a it_o neither_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o god_n have_v permit_v we_o to_o profane_v &_o make_v common_a the_o sabbath_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o profanation_n of_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n as_o

a_o reformation_n be_v make_v diverse_a &_o sundry_a verse_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yea_o in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n be_v as_o so_o many_o verse_n rend_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o quite_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o as_o so_o many_o cipher_n and_o also_o the_o decalogue_n or_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o teach_v and_o maintain_v in_o our_o church_n nor_o in_o any_o christian_a church_n beside_o in_o its_o integrity_n and_o perfection_n but_o only_o lame_o and_o maim_o if_o until_o a_o reformation_n the_o whole_a four_o commandment_n be_v utter_o and_o whole_o abolish_v both_o root_n and_o branch_n if_o until_o a_o reformation_n be_v make_v the_o land_n and_o kingdom_n wherein_o we_o live_v with_o all_o other_o christian_a church_n do_v live_v in_o the_o weekly_a profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n and_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n if_o i_o shall_v show_v unto_o you_o that_o until_o a_o reformation_n be_v make_v we_o sanctify_v a_o common_a and_o profane_a day_n and_o profane_v a_o sanctify_a and_o holy_a day_n and_o god_n worship_n will_v languish_v and_o profaneness_n invade_v we_o and_o that_o a_o romish_a relic_n be_v honour_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n worship_n be_v daily_o neglect_v yea_o and_o corrupt_v with_o many_o other_o evile_v if_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o until_o a_o reformation_n the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n be_v commit_v by_o many_o in_o the_o land_n if_o i_o say_v i_o shall_v make_v these_o thing_n plain_o appear_v unto_o you_o than_o i_o trust_v you_o will_v say_v with_o i_o that_o it_o be_v high_a time_n that_o every_o man_n lie_v too_o his_o help_a hand_n for_o a_o reformation_n &_o that_o speedy_o i._o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o there_o be_v not_o many_o verse_n in_o the_o decalogue_n or_o 10_o commandment_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o four_o whole_a verse_n in_o the_o 10_o commandment_n which_o be_v as_o so_o many_o verse_n rend_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o for_o so_o many_o cipher_n and_o they_o be_v these_o verse_n the_o 8_o &_o verse_n the_o 9th_o and_o verse_n the_o 10_o and_o verse_n the_o 11_o of_o the_o xx_o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o six_o day_n for_o work_a day_n there_o specify_v we_o have_v not_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v and_o the_o which_o god_n bless_a and_o sanctify_a we_o have_v not_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v more_o large_o prove_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o book_n &_o therefore_o a_o touch_n of_o they_o here_o be_v enough_o wherefore_o see_v we_o have_v not_o in_o use_n the_o thing_n specify_v and_o command_v in_o those_o iiij_o verse_n therefore_o those_o iiij_o verse_n be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v rend_v out_o of_o the_o sacred_a bible_n or_o blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n or_o stand_v but_o for_o cipher_n now_o be_v it_o not_o high_a time_n to_o stir_v when_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v thus_o abuse_v for_o we_o have_v but_o the_o brann_v or_o husk_n that_o be_v the_o bare_a word_n of_o the_o 4_o verse_n as_o for_o the_o flower_n &_o kernel_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o
