to_o be_v note_v because_o such_o a_o mistake_n of_o one_o day_n for_o a_o other_o in_o a_o bond_n may_v forfeit_v your_o bond_n as_o in_o case_n through_o a_o mistake_n you_o carry_v your_o money_n in_o the_o 8_o day_n of_o the_o month_n when_o it_o be_v due_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o month_n now_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o bond_n wherein_o man_n stand_v bind_v unto_o god_n to_o

which_o yet_o can_v never_o as_o you_o have_v see_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o other_o be_v whither_o any_o one_o sunday_n first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o

that_o fable_n of_o the_o fire_n in_o purgatory_n as_o can_v be_v say_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n touch_v the_o former_a question_n that_o every_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v this_o constancy_n that_o every_o sunday_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o be_v not_o now_o tie_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n once_o every_o week_n but_o only_o sometime_o as_o once_o in_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n or_o half_o a_o year_n or_o once_o in_o a_o year_n or_o the_o like_a and_o so_o the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n be_v extinguish_v and_o as_o good_a as_o vanish_v that_o it_o may_v appear_v what_o they_o can_v make_v good_a this_o way_n i_o will_v

keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o of_o their_o text_n be_v the_o four_o com._n exod_n 20.8_o but_o to_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n that_o the_o four_o

wherefore_o this_o text_n be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n a_o second_o text_n they_o have_v &_o it_o be_v revel_v 1.10_o i_o be_v in_o the_o spririt_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o this_o text_n i_o

so_o much_o yet_o can_v it_o not_o be_v prove_v from_o hence_o that_o every_o sunday_n and_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n all_o that_o can_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o text_n be_v but_o to_o prove_v one_o day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o namely_o that_o one_o day_n which_o be_v call_v lord_n day_n in_o this_o text_n if_o it_o can_v be_v certain_o find_v

wherefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o any_o more_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v sabbath_n then_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n lord_n day_n and_o that_o be_v but_o one_o day_n in_o a_o

than_o it_o must_v be_v a_o weekly_a sabbath_n day_n as_o in_o the_o four_o com._n for_o there_o be_v weekly_a sabbath_n and_o yearly_a sabbath_n also_o in_o the_o law_n now_o since_o they_o hold_v

swallow_n make_v not_o a_o summer_n so_o one_o sabbath_n day_n make_v not_o a_o constant_a practice_n this_o text_n can_v make_v way_n for_o no_o more_o sabbath_n than_o one_o in_o a_o year_n or_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
that_o they_o profane_v god_n ancient_a sabbath_n against_o the_o four_o comm._n of_o this_o law_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v their_o answer_n that_o the_o four_o comm._n be_v partly_o ceremonial_a

that_o very_a sabbath_n day_n where_o of_o god_n speak_v in_o his_o four_o come_v then_o be_v these_o word_n in_o the_o come_v to_o wit_n the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o consequence_n be_v because_o these_o word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o two_o text_n be_v in_o their_o nature_n the_o same_o and_o of_o the_o same_o extent_n with_o the_o like_a or_o same_o word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o they_o oppose_v thes_n word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o two_o text_n unto_o the_o like_a word_n sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o four_o come_v the_o one_o to_o abolish_v the_o other_o this_o be_v so_o i_o proceed_v if_o that_o these_o word_n in_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o

to_o sanctify_v it_o i_o have_v put_v the_o word_n in_o controversy_n in_o a_o parenthesis_n as_o you_o see_v now_o let_v thes_n minister_n take_v a_o way_n those_o word_n in_o the_o parenthesis_n and_o you_o take_v quiet_a away_o the_o very_a subject_a matter_n of_o the_o lord_n speech_n you_o leave_v a_o roof_n with_o out_o a_o foundation_n god_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbathday_n but_o if_o now_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n for_o that_o it_o be_v abolish_v as_o they_o say_v how_o then_o shall_v a_o man_n remember_v it_o god_n command_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n deut._n 5.12_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n day_n how_o shall_v a_o man_n keep_v it_o again_o god_n say_v sanctify_v it_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o sanctify_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o what_o can_v we_o remember_v to_o sanctify_v a_o nothing_o so_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o very_a commandment_n the_o four_o come_v be_v utter_o nullify_v by_o their_o obiectiones_fw-la and_o make_v to_o speak_v nonsense_n or_o a_o nothing_o this_o be_v my_o first_o argument_n my_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o their_o own_o sense_n &_o use_v of_o it_o for_o when_o i_o urge_v they_o with_o the_o name_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v they_o turn_v i_o off_o with_o this_o that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n in_o english_a well_o be_v it_o so_o a_o rest_n let_v it_o signify_v from_o these_o two_o text_n then_o i_o argue_v again_o thus_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v they_o be_v the_o four_o come_v itself_o utter_o abolish_v but_o that_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v themselves_o confess_v it_o in_o their_o object_v two_o text_n for_o in_o thes_n text_n be_v the_o word_n sabbath_n see_v exod._n 31.13_o col._n 2.16_o which_o word_n sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n now_o they_o do_v oppose_v the_o word_n sabbath_n which_o signify_v a_o rest_n in_o exod._n 31.13_o col._n 2.16_o against_o the_o same_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o comm_n which_o signi_v a_o rest_n also_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o sabbath_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o

and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n namely_o that_o if_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v abolish_v then_o be_v the_o four_o come_v utter_o and_o for_o ever_o abolish_v this_o i_o make_v good_a thus_o if_o that_o rest_n from_o our_o servile_a labour_n be_v abolish_v which_o be_v once_o in_o the_o four_o come_v command_v then_o now_o we_o may_v labour_v in_o our_o

thus_o i_o have_v finish_v my_o argument_n raise_v out_o of_o their_o two_o text_n wherehy_a i_o have_v prove_v that_o from_o their_o objection_n and_o exposition_n there_o follow_v not_o only_o a_o

day_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n then_o live_v with_o christ_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n christ_n and_o his_o church_n do_v not_o assemble_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n until_o it_o be_v past_a or_o never_o end_v joh._n 20.19_o their_o first_o meeting_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o their_o second_o meeting_n be_v 8._o day_n after_o joh._n 20.26_o and_o their_o three_o when_o they_o go_v to_o fish_v joh._n 21.1.14_o now_o assembly_n &_o congregation_n be_v sabbath_n duty_n levit._n 23.2.3_o wherefore_o since_o the_o minister_n &_o people_n christ_n &_o his_o disciple_n meet_v not_o all_o the_o day_n long_o to_o solemnize_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n until_o evening_n &_o the_o day_n be_v now_o spend_v &_o pass_v therefore_o they_o keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o they_o can_v not_o assemble_v soon_o in_o the_o day_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n joh._n 20.19_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v more_o likely_a they_o dare_v not_o stir_v abroad_o all_o day_n long_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n &_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o jew_n therefore_o they_o keep_v close_o all_o the_o day_n long_o together_o in_o the_o house_n and_o so_o they_o be_v assemble_v all_o the_o day_n but_o like_o sheep_n without_o their_o shepherd_n 2._o my_o second_o argument_n wherewith_o i_o prove_v it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v because_o they_o do_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o this_o purpose_n see_v mark_n 16.11.9_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v that_o christ_n appear_v first_o unto_o mary_n magdalene_n &_o the_o text_n say_v that_o she_o go_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o have_v be_v with_o christ_n which_o mourn_v and_o weep_v and_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v appear_v to_o she_o they_o beleened_a it_o not_o again_o see_v mark_n 16.13_o where_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o travail_v in_o to_o the_o country_n &_o how_o christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o also_o and_o the_o text_n say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o go_v and_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o remnant_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o last_o see_v mar._n 16.14_o where_o the_o text_n say_v final_o he_o appear_v unto_o the_o eleven_o as_o they_o sit_v together_o and_o reproach_v they_o for_o their_o unbelief_n &_o hardness_n of_o heart_n because_o they_o bleeve_v not_o they_o which_o have_v see_v he_o be_v rise_v up_o again_o s._n luke_n report_v it_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v mary_n magdalene_n etc._n etc._n which_o tell_v these_o thing_n unto_o the_o apostle_n but_o their_o word_n say_v the_o text_n seem_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o feign_a thing_n neither_o believe_v they_o they_o luk._n 24.10.11_o so_o by_o all_o these_o testimony_n you_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o resurrection_n through_o unbelief_n not_o the_o eleven_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v believe_v it_o now_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o how_o these_o apostle_n with_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o disciple_n can_v sanctify_v this_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n when_o as_o they_o know_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o when_o they_o believe_v it_o not_o yea_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o mourn_v and_o weep_v still_o mark_n 16.10_o and_o that_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emmaus_n they_o have_v communication_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v sade_n luk._n 24.17_o which_o sadness_n mourning_n and_o weep_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n yea_o when_o the_o day_n be_v fatr_n spend_v luk._n 24.29_o bewray_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n resurrection_n how_o then_o i_o marvel_v can_v they_o keep_v that_o lord_n day_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n in_o a_o joyful_a &_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n when_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o apparent_a that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o keep_v for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o and_o weekly_o in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o apostle_n for_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v neglect_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v how_o confident_a our_o minister_n be_v that_o this_o lord_n day_n be_v constant_o keep_v by_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n in_o so_o much_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o puritan_n minister_n that_o have_v avowch_v it_o that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o life_n &_o die_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o day_n whither_o i_o may_v believe_v they_o or_o not_o i_o can_v tell_v i_o shall_v

for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sanctification_n when_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o profane_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o matter_n as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v as_o you_o have_v see_v it_o prove_v i_o trust_v the_o people_n will_v be_v so_o wise_a for_o themselves_o in_o this_o point_n as_o to_o give_v their_o minister_n leave_v to_o die_v first_o but_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v many_o martyr_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n one_o thing_n will_v be_v note_v more_o before_o we_o leave_v this_o point_n it_o be_v suppose_v that_o christ_n touch_v the_o redemption_n do_v imitate_v god_n at_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n thereof_o well_o let_v we_o see_v how_o like_a or_o rather_o unlike_a christ_n be_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n at_o the_o creation_n god_n choose_v the_o first_o sabbath_n day_n or_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v but_o we_o have_v see_v it_o plain_o prove_v that_o christ_n choose_v not_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v 2._o god_n rest_v himself_o on_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n

of_o the_o seven_o day_n take_v from_o his_o own_o example_n because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o because_o he_o bless_a &_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n but_o christ_n never_o

remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o exod._n 20.8_o now_o the_o sabbath_n day_n here_o mention_v it_o be_v the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n but_o this_o old_a sabbath_n day_n say_v these_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

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

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

on_o it_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o to_o fly_v to_o save_v a_o man_n life_n as_o they_o do_v who_o be_v besiege_v etc._n etc._n hereunto_o i_o answer_v yis_o it_o be_v a_o profanation_n 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 travail_v &_o labour_v be_v common_a work_n by_o travail_v and_o labour_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o they_o do_v on_o common_a day_n they_o make_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o common_a day_n and_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 otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v the_o profanation_n remain_v still_o but_o it_o be_v no_o sinful_a profanation_n 2._o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o objection_n do_v strengthen_v my_o argument_n for_o if_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o fly_v &_o travail_v &_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n no_o not_o to_o save_v their_o life_n if_o possible_o by_o mean_n of_o prayer_n they_o may_v avoid_v it_o much_o less_o will_v he_o have_v man_n do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n when_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n and_o in_o a_o common_a case_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o christ_n be_v marvellous_o zealouse_a of_o his_o father_n sabbath_n to_o have_v they_o religious_o &_o careful_o sanctify_v after_o his_o death_n when_o he_o
that_o their_o conscience_n be_v not_o a_o feign_a &_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n but_o a_o true_a &_o religiouse_a conscience_n for_o the_o other_o thing_n whereof_o christ_n admonish_v they_o be_v not_o feign_a thing_n but_o true_a and_o real_a thing_n as_o when_o he_o say_v woe_n shall_v be_v to_o they_o which_o be_v with_o child_n &_o which_o give_v suck_v v._o 19_o this_o be_v not_o feign_a thing_n for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a evil_n for_o woman_n to_o be_v put_v to_o fly_v when_o great_a with_o child_n or_o with_o child_n suck_v on_o they_o again_o to_o fly_v in_o the_o winter_n v._o 20._o it_o be_v no_o superstitiouse_a conceit_n in_o christ_n disciple_n to_o think_v the_o winter_n a_o very_a unseasonable_a time_n to_o fly_v in_o but_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o &_o so_o we_o be_v to_o think_v semblable_o of_o their_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o it_o be_v no_o needless_a &_o superstitiouse_a conceit_n in_o they_o to_o think_v it_o a_o offence_n unto_o god_n a_o breach_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o a_o grievouse_n matter_n to_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n at_o what_o time_n they_o shall_v be_v serve_v and_o worship_v of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o objection_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n may_v be_v mean_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o some_o one_o of_o their_o yearly_a sabbath_n &_o so_o then_o if_o christ_n have_v ratify_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o text_n it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o a_o ceremonial_a sabbath_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o rather_o they_o think_v thus_o because_o it_o be_v think_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n flee_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o

for_o inasmuch_o as_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v upon_o a_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o they_o do_v pray_v according_o &_o

obtain_v their_o prayer_n whence_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v that_o they_o pray_v against_o flight_n on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o they_o do_v not_o fly_v on_o the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o god_n hear_v their_o prayer_n but_o to_o think_v they_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o yearly_a ceremonial_a sabbath_n &_o pray_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o be_v drive_v to_o fly_v on_o it_o be_v absurd_o to_o suppose_v that_o god_n crose_v their_o prayer_n and_o deny_v their_o petition_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o 2d_o objection_n the_o last_o objection_n or_o

shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o by_o two_o argument_n the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n because_o it_o may_v be_v neglect_v or_o profane_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o argum_fw-la j._n that_o which_o may_v be_v neglect_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n that_o may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v neglect_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v change_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n by_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n i_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o that_o we_o give_v god_n the_o sunday_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o saturday_n for_o a_o season_n the_o 8_o day_n for_o the_o seven_o or_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n with_o our_o church_n for_o a_o season_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n like_a as_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v prorogue_v his_o coronation_n day_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o plague_n or_o other_o necessity_n shall_v keep_v its_o solemnity_n on_o a_o other_o day_n than_o the_o accustom_a day_n so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o major_a or_o first_o proposition_n but_o i_o may_v spare_v labour_n it_o be_v clear_a enough_o of_o itself_o none_o i_o think_v will_v deny_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o less_o evil_a or_o loss_n to_o god_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v to_o change_v a_o day_n with_o he_o then_o to_o take_v a_o day_n from_o he_o or_o neglect_v a_o day_n like_v as_o it_o be_v a_o less_o loss_n to_o a_o man_n to_o change_v a_o shilling_n with_o he_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n though_o it_o be_v a_o light_n &_o clip_v shilling_n for_o a_o heavy_a &_o waity_n one_o than_o it_o be_v to_o take_v a_o shilling_n from_o he_o or_o then_o it_o be_v to_o neglect_v to_o pay_v he_o a_o shilling_n which_o i_o owe_v he_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v object_v that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n ordinance_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o contrary_n be_v true_a for_o whereas_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o first_o month_n of_o the_o year_n levir_n 23.5_o the_o godly_a king_n hezekiah_n change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o passeover_n from_o the_o first_o month_n of_o the_o year_n unto_o the_o second_o month_n of_o the_o year_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n as_o you_o may_v read_v ij_o chron._n 30.2.3_o wherefore_o there_o may_v be_v some_o change_n in_o god_n worship_n in_o some_o case_n as_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o major_a i_o come_v next_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n and_o here_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v neglect_v or_o profane_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v 1._o because_o other_o duty_n may_v be_v neglect_v &_o omit_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o neglect_n whereof_o be_v sin_n as_o well_o as_o the_o neglect_n of_o he_o sabbath_n day_n if_o omit_v out_o of_o the_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o example_n moses_n may_v neglect_v to_o punish_v some_o kind_n of_o adultery_n divid_n may_v omit_v to_o execute_v joab_n for_o his_o murder_n the_o israelite_n may_v neglect_v circumcision_n for_o a_o season_n david_n may_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n in_o a_o time_n of_o hunger_n all_o which_o we_o have_v enlarge_v in_o the_o section_n before_o this_o now_o the_o omission_n or_o neglect_n of_o all_o these_o be_v sin_n out_o of_o the_o case_n of_o necessity_n as_o well_o as_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v the_o like_a reason_n of_o all_o 2._o i_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v allow_v his_o disciple_n and_o other_o to_o neglect_v and_o profare_fw-la the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o his_o time_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n as_o for_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pluck_v ear_n of_o

justify_v they_o when_o they_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o moil_a &_o toil_a to_o lift_v a_o beast_n out_o of_o a_o pit_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n mat._n 12.11_o three_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o divine_n who_o be_v of_o judgement_n that_o a_o man_n may_v profane_v the_o whole_a sabbath_n day_n by_o hard_a &_o painful_a labour_n if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n as_o to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n or_o to_o fly_v before_o the_o enemy_n he_o pursue_v we_o to_o save_v our_o life_n or_o to_o resist_v the_o invasion_n of_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n four_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v fur_n man_n &_o not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v mark_n 2.27_o now_o if_o that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o a_o exegency_n &_o extremity_n he_o must_v rather_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n then_o provide_v for_o his_o own_o safety_n than_o the_o sabbath_n shall_v not_o be_v make_v for_o man_n but_o contrary_o man_n shall_v be_v make_v for_o the_o sabbath_n &_o this_o christ_n do_v express_o deny_v say_v that_o man_n be_v not_o make_v for_o the_o sabbath_n wherefore_o of_o the_o
his_o change_n be_v not_o the_o very_a same_o which_o god_n specify_v in_o numb_a 9.10.11_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o like_a reason_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o we_o may_v go_v beyond_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n so_o be_v we_o hold_v close_o to_o the_o like_a reason_n &_o this_o i_o have_v do_v in_o fetch_v my_o argument_n from_o the_o passover_o day_n to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o i_o have_v hold_v i_o to_o like_a reason_n of_o they_o both_o as_o you_o have_v see_v and_o so_o much_o for_o proof_n that_o the_o lord_n day_n may_v be_v keep_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n but_o yet_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o prove_v now_o that_o our_o case_n in_o change_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n &_o this_o be_v do_v all_o be_v firm_a for_o this_o therefore_o see_v the_o next_o section_n sect_n iv_o in_o this_o section_n 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 church_n for_o it_o and_o in_o room_n of_o it_o this_o necessity_n i_o shall_v declare_v unto_o you_o 1._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o body_n 2._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o soul_n 3._o in_o respect_n 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 caleing_n in_o for_o when_o we_o have_v keep_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n the_o magistrate_n will_v compel_v we_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n to_o keep_v the_o sunday_n also_o &_o so_o we_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 day_n in_o every_o week_n ordenary_o or_o in_o every_o 7_o day_n to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o caleing_n in_o because_o else_o god_n will_v not_o have_v allow_v man_n 6_o day_n to_o work_v in_o for_o himself_o &_o have_v take_v but_o one_o for_o his_o worship_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.8_o now_o since_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o we_o have_v 6_o day_n ordinary_o in_o every_o week_n to_o follow_v our_o caleing_n in_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o work_v in_o it_o for_o a_o season_n unless_o the_o magistrate_n will_v dispense_v with_o his_o law_n touch_v the_o lord_n day_n or_o until_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o incline_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o proclaim_v a_o reformation_n that_o so_o the_o sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v keep_v for_o unless_o the_o magistrate_n do_v one_o of_o these_o two_o we_o can_v have_v but_o 5_o day_n in_o every_o week_n for_o our_o caleing_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o former_a necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o body_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o other_o necessity_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o body_n which_o be_v this_o if_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 he_o his_o wife_n &_o child_n which_o depend_v upon_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o want_v of_o thing_n necessary_a now_o who_o so_o shall_v incur_v these_o evil_n by_o keep_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 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 plead_v this_o kind_n of_o necessity_n of_o all_o other_o therefore_o i_o will_v strengthen_v it_o and_o that_o by_o the_o allowance_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o practice_v of_o his_o disciple_n for_o you_o read_v mat._n 12.1.2_o how_o christ_n disciple_n do_v neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o fall_v to_o pluck_v ear_n of_o corn_n &_o to_o rub_v they_o in_o their_o hand_n luk._n 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 christ_n disciple_n why_o shall_v not_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o we_o also_o and_o if_o they_o may_v work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v hunger_n why_o may_v not_o we_o do_v so_o too_o to_o prevent_v hunger_n and_o imprisonment_n also_o yea_o to_o prevent_v penury_n not_o in_o himself_o alone_o but_o in_o his_o whole_a family_n wife_n and_o child_n so_o our_o necessity_n be_v great_a than_o be_v that_o of_o christ_n disciple_n the_o consideration_n of_o this_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o satisfy_v the_o obiectiones_fw-la that_o rise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o some_o say_v it_o seem_v than_o you_o have_v more_o mind_n of_o your_o belly_n then_o of_o god_n of_o your_o safety_n then_o of_o god_n sabbath_n but_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o objection_n shall_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o the_o very_a same_o objection_n bear_v as_o strong_o against_o christ_n disciple_n as_o against_o we_o for_o may_v not_o such_o objection_n rise_v in_o your_o mind_n also_o against_o christ_n disciple_n say_n it_o seem_v you_o mind_n your_o belly_n more_o than_o your_o god_n and_o you_o fear_v a_o little_a hunger_n more_o than_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n sabbath_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o objection_n &_o so_o much_o for_o the_o necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o body_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o soul_n &_o here_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o thing_n stand_v yet_o it_o will_v pine_v our_o soul_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o two_o respect_n the_o former_a be_v this_o you_o know_v the_o sabbath_n day_n aught_o to_o be_v solemnize_v with_o assembly_n levit._n 23.3_o now_o the_o benefit_n of_o company_n &_o fellowship_n in_o

you_o know_v that_o to_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v require_v the_o help_n of_o the_o minister_n luk._n 4.16_o act._n 15.21_o to_o go_v before_o the_o people_n in_o the_o
