the_o sailor_n round_o the_o world_n shall_v rectify_v their_o account_n call_v it_o saturday_n on_o the_o one_o side_n of_o it_o and_o sunday_n on_o the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o late_a of_o

of_o the_o day_n which_o we_o here_o call_v sunday_n be_v coincident_a with_o some_o part_n of_o what_o be_v so_o call_v in_o japan_n and_o also_o some_o part_n of_o our_o sunday_n though_o not_o

near_o to_o he_o he_o may_v perhaps_o tell_v we_o though_o i_o do_v not_o find_v he_o do_v that_o the_o jew_n do_v certain_o keep_v their_o weekly_a sabbath_n at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n

the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o the_o week_n be_v then_o reckon_v which_o i_o ready_o grant_v he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v so_o do_v for_o a_o long_a time_n before_o and_o perhaps_o from_o the_o time_n of_o give_v the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v but_o we_o can_v be_v certain_a and_o what_o be_v then_o call_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v another_o day_n from_o what_o they_o call_v the_o seven_o which_o i_o admit_v also_o and_o that_o what_o they_o call_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v now_o what_o we_o call_v

i_o but_o i_o be_o not_o sure_a of_o it_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o think_v so_o be_v because_o i_o think_v that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n according_a to_o christ_n direction_n do_v remove_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o that_o we_o have_v ever_o since_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n as_o they_o do_v for_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o it_o have_v be_v since_o alter_v and_o as_o we_o now_o keep_v it_o on_o sunday_n so_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v and_o therefore_o think_v that_o our_o sunday_n be_v what_o they_o call_v the_o first_o day_n and_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v then_o remove_v it_o from_o their_o seven_o day_n to_o their_o first_o day_n i_o presume_v they_o have_v direction_n from_o christ_n so_o to_o do_v who_o after_o his_o resurrection_n show_v himself_o to_o they_o for_o forty_o day_n give_v commandment_n to_o his_o apostle_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n act_v 1._o 2_o 3._o and_o therefore_o what_o they_o do_v afterward_o in_o settle_v the_o christian_a church_n they_o do_v we_o be_v to_o presume_v according_a to_o such_o direction_n and_o commandment_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o in_o particular_a of_o so_o remove_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n if_o they_o do_v remove_v it_o as_o i_o think_v be_v do_v by_o his_o

change_v for_o i_o think_v we_o keep_v the_o same_o sabbath_n which_o they_o do_v and_o that_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v ever_o since_o so_o do_v and_o do_v pretend_v so_o to_o have_v do_v by_o a_o constant_a tradition_n ever_o since_o and_o we_o therefore_o think_v our_o sunday_n to_o be_v their_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n because_o we_o think_v their_o sabbath_n so_o to_o have_v be_v but_o if_o we_o mistake_v in_o that_o tradition_n we_o be_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v according_o mistake_v in_o think_v sunday_n to_o be_v their_o first_o day_n for_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o tradition_n for_o either_o and_o then_o for_o aught_o he_o can_v show_v by_o better_a than_o tradition_n to_o the_o contrary_a our_o sunday_n may_v be_v their_o seven_o day_n and_o then_o he_o have_v no_o pretence_n to_o quarrel_v with_o it_o if_o he_o say_v the_o jew_n do_v at_o this_o day_n keep_v saturday_n as_o their_o seven_o day_n i_o confess_v they_o do_v but_o they_o do_v no_o more_o know_v which_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n than_o we_o which_o be_v the_o first_o day_n and_o because_o they_o find_v that_o christian_n general_o take_v sunday_n to_o be_v what_o be_v before_o call_v the_o first_o day_n they_o do_v according_o take_v saturday_n to_o be_v their_o seven_o day_n but_o their_o tradition_n be_v of_o no_o great_a authority_n than_o we_o all_o depend_v upon_o this_o that_o our_o sunday_n be_v that_o sabbath_n which_o we_o think_v christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n do_v appoint_v we_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o first_o day_n because_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n by_o christ_n direction_n do_v remove_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o that_o day_n he_o will_v say_v perhaps_o i_o do_v not_o myself_o think_v our_o sunday_n to_o be_v their_o seven_o day_n and_o then_o why_o shall_v not_o our_o sabbath_n be_v on_o saturday_n as_o they_o be_v it_o be_v true_a i_o do_v not_o think_v our_o sunday_n to_o be_v their_o seven_o day_n and_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o because_o i_o think_v christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n do_v change_v the_o day_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n only_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o think_v our_o sabbath_n shall_v be_v as_o now_o it_o be_v and_o as_o i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o but_o if_o i_o be_v mistake_v in_o it_o i_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o other_o also_o but_o either_o way_n sunday_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v our_o sabbath_n he_o say_v it_o be_v no_o where_o express_o say_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v thus_o change_v

know_v if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o change_v though_o because_o i_o think_v the_o day_n be_v then_o change_v i_o do_v therefore_o think_v it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o change_v than_o all_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o what_o they_o call_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o their_o week_n we_o call_v the_o first_o day_n of_o our_o week_n which_o if_o the_o author_n do_v not_o like_a he_o may_v call_v monday_n the_o first_o day_n and_o then_o sunday_n will_v be_v the_o seven_o as_o it_o be_v before_o but_o i_o say_v further_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n even_o as_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o we_o may_v reasonable_o think_v to_o have_v be_v do_v though_o it_o be_v not_o express_o say_v so_o but_o only_o to_o be_v collect_v by_o consequence_n from_o

and_o therefore_o i_o suppose_v this_o author_n will_v have_v we_o think_v it_o be_v command_v not_o a_o mere_a will-worship_n without_o any_o direction_n or_o institution_n from_o god_n yet_o we_o be_v no_o where_o tell_v of_o any_o such_o command_n or_o institution_n we_o may_v say_v the_o like_a of_o iacob_n consecrate_v a_o pillar_n by_o pour_v oil_n upon_o it_o gen._n 28._o 18._o though_o

judge_v hardly_o but_o the_o natural_a result_n of_o what_o he_o argue_v be_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o he_o do_v not_o think_v that_o john_n be_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n rev._n 1._o 10._o keep_v the_o
