because_o i_o hear_v the_o most_o so_o slight_v this_o sacred_a time_n as_o but_o a_o circumstance_n etc._n etc._n and_o as_o a_o thing_n not_o require_v of_o itself_o and_o by_o itself_o as_o be_v the_o duty_n in_o this_o time_n holiness_n and_o rest_n but_o only_o for_o a_o other_o thing_n sake_n as_o for_o the_o holiness_n sake_n that_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v in_o this_o time_n and_o so_o as_o if_o the_o holiness_n be_v perform_v it_o skill_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o tyme._n for_o my_o part_n therefore_o i_o can_v see_v but_o the_o time_n of_o the_o 7_o day_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o holiness_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o time_n if_o these_o duty_n be_v not_o consider_v absolute_o and_o in_o relation_n to_o god_n but_o respectiuly_a as_o subseruient_fw-fr to_o the_o tyme._n holiness_n consider_v of_o it_o only_o as_o a_o duty_n of_o first_o table_n in_o this_o branch_n of_o praise_v and_o laud_v god_n in_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n etc._n etc._n so_o reflect_v god_n holy_a work_n and_o attribute_n upon_o himself_o now_o consider_v as_o the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n ps_n 19.1_o so_o think_v on_o that_o 7_o day_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n speak_v of_o day_n in_o general_n v._n 2._o day_n unto_o day_n utter_v the_o same_o too_o or_o day_n after_o day_n as_o aynsworth_n observe_v so_o than_o if_o day_n do_v utter_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o show_v forth_o his_o handy_a work_n reflect_v unto_o god_n and_o declare_v the_o same_o to_o man_n then_o doubtless_o the_o 7_o day_n sabbath_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o secret_a speech_n unto_o and_o praise_v of_o god_n by_o reflection_n unto_o god_n and_o declaration_n unto_o man_n the_o whole_a work_n of_o creation_n do_v upon_o the_o 6._o day_n before_o show_v forth_o these_o attribute_n of_o god_n wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n manifest_v in_o those_o day_n and_o sure_o this_o day_n do_v more_o complete_o in_o its_o kind_n reflect_v and_o give_v god_n the_o full_a glory_n of_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n than_o can_v any_o man_n who_o because_o he_o know_v thing_n by_o half_n can_v speak_v of_o they_o but_o by_o piece_n well_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o this_o though_o i_o will_v not_o be_v curious_a nor_o stand_v upon_o it_o 2._o as_o for_o holiness_n as_o prayer_n praise_n and_o the_o like_a i_o consider_v of_o it_o absolute_o or_o relatiuly_a absolute_o without_o reference_n to_o any_o special_a time_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n and_o so_o i_o grant_v it_o may_v be_v great_a than_o the_o 7_o day_n time_n relatiuly_a as_o it_o be_v employ_v to_o the_o 7_o day_n to_o honour_v it_o withal_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a nor_o excellent_a i_o explain_v myself_o by_o this_o simile_n a_o son_n have_v a_o book_n of_o his_o decease_a father_n for_o his_o father_n sake_n he_o be_v so_o in_o love_n with_o the_o book_n as_o he_o will_v put_v upon_o it_o silver_n ot_fw-mi golden_a clasp_n silken_a string_n double_v gild_v it_o &_o other_o cost_n to_o the_o double_a or_o treble_a value_n of_o the_o book_n if_o now_o you_o demand_n whither_o the_o book_n or_o the_o cost_n be_v the_o more_o excellent_a why_o sure_o the_o cost_n be_v the_o great_a in_o itself_o consider_v and_o not_o as_o make_v serviceable_a to_o the_o book_n but_o the_o book_n be_v the_o great_a and_o more_o excellent_a in_o that_o for_o the_o book_n sake_n he_o begild_v it_o and_o put_v on_o all_o that_o cost_n so_o as_o this_o son_n gild_v and_o bewtifi_v the_o book_n because_o it_o be_v his_o father_n just_o so_o the_o lord_n god_n bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o 7_o day_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v genes_n 2.3_o exod._n 20.11_o the_o reason_n then_o move_v god_n to_o adorn_v and_o beautify_v the_o 7_o day_n so_o with_o holiness_n and_o rest_n be_v because_o god_n have_v once_o rest_v on_o that_o day_n so_o as_o the_o 7_o day_n be_v not_o set_v apart_o for_o holiness_n sake_n but_o holiness_n at_o this_o time_n be_v appoint_v for_o the_o 7_o day_n sake_n even_o as_o angle_n be_v minister_a spirit_n for_o our_o sake_n and_o so_o be_v inferior_a to_o man_n in_o some_o respect_n that_o be_v as_o they_o be_v attendant_n to_o we_o yet_o further_o to_o this_o end_n see_v the_o 4_o comm_n where_o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o sabbath_n be_v command_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o as_o the_o chief_n thing_n aim_v at_o it_o be_v twice_o mention_v whereas_o holiness_n be_v but_o once_o name_v yea_o do_v not_o the_o very_a order_n of_o the_o word_n and_o manner_n of_o utter_v they_o import_v the_o same_o like_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o servant_n remember_v such_o a_o book_n that_o you_o save_v it_o and_o lay_v it_o up_o careful_o or_o that_o you_o gild_v it_o and_o bewtifye_v it_o with_o the_o fine_a gold_n etc._n etc._n will_v not_o a_o man_n think_v by_o these_o word_n that_o all_o the_o servant_n care_n and_o diligence_n and_o cost_n about_o the_o book_n be_v for_o the_o book_n and_o less_o than_o the_o book_n in_o worth_n and_o excellency_n why_o just_a in_o such_o frame_n of_o word_n the_o lord_n deliur_v the_o 4_o comm_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o you_o sanctify_v it_o the_o which_o sanctify_v the_o day_n be_v the_o adorn_v and_o the_o
