efficacy_n to_o edification_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o most_o account_n with_o we_o we_o may_v say_v first_o that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n and_o lord_n day_n at_o first_o apprehension_n be_v more_o ready_a and_o effectual_a to_o mind_v we_o of_o and_o dispose_v we_o to_o pious_a conceit_n than_o the_o name_n sunday_n be_v which_o at_o first_o blench_v according_a to_o the_o literal_a sense_n and_o primitive_a use_n have_v a_o idolatrous_a intimation_n for_o it_o be_v so_o call_v with_o reference_n to_o and_o reverence_n of_o the_o planet_n sol_fw-mi which_o be_v make_v a_o idol_n

title_n lord_n day_n design_n some_o day_n of_o eminent_a note_n and_o by_o consent_n of_o most_o be_v take_v for_o the_o day_n on_o which_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o though_o it_o may_v also_o import_v with_o a_o little_a work_n of_o the_o understanding_n upon_o it_o that_o he_o be_v lord_n both_o of_o time_n and_o person_n with_o other_o religious_a document_n which_o conduce_v much_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o the_o name_n sabbath_n edifi_v much_o more_o as_o to_o the_o solemn_a service_n of_o religion_n which_o ought_v to_o prevail_v in_o this_o comparison_n for_o it_o signify_v rest_n or_o cessation_n from_o secular_a labour_n without_o which_o no_o day_n can_v be_v holy_o and_o solemn_o observe_v and_o that_o by_o a_o easy_a transition_n from_o the_o letter_n to_o a_o figure_n may_v admonish_v we_o of_o our_o saviour_n rest_v in_o the_o grave_a all_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o punctual_o observe_v while_o it_o

where_o the_o proportion_n of_o time_n for_o the_o weekly_a recourse_n of_o it_o be_v to_o be_v read_v and_o the_o personal_a extent_n of_o the_o commandment_n to_o superior_n and_o inferior_n

in_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o premise_n i_o may_v resolve_v that_o for_o our_o church_n and_o time_n the_o name_n sabbath_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v familiar_o use_v for_o the_o day_n we_o keep_v holy_a

his_o drift_n in_o both_o his_o book_n to_o which_o purpose_n he_o have_v say_v so_o much_o as_o require_v a_o far_a and_o full_a answer_n then_o have_v be_v make_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o bishop_n of_o ely_n who_o profess_o undertake_v the_o defence_n of_o our_o christian_a sabbath_n against_o his_o judaize_v argument_n deal_v but_o with_o one_o of_o his_o book_n and_o for_o the_o other_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v not_o see_v it_o for_o he_o never_o make_v any_o mention_n of_o it_o object_n against_o this_o prelation_n of_o the_o name_n sabbath_n it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o way_n of_o exception_n that_o the_o name_n sabbath_n be_v less_o proper_a than_o the_o name_n lord_n day_n or_o sunday_n for_o it_o be_v a_o name_n for_o any_o day_n of_o rest_n as_o have_v be_v observe_v and_o

in_o another_o work_n but_o now_o use_n have_v confine_v it_o to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n if_o a_o protestant_n the_o word_n bible_n may_v serve_v to_o answer_v he_o which_o as_o the_o learned_a
