history_n of_o the_o church_n for_o saturday_n the_o seven_o day_n thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o sabbath_n day_n be_v a_o proper_a name_n signify_v our_o saturday_n and_o saturday_n then_o be_v the_o day_n which_o god_n mean_v and_o speak_v of_o in_o those_o word_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n second_o we_o may_v know_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n which_o god_n mean_v by_o these_o word_n sabbath_n day_n because_o god_n have_v in_o his_o 4_o come_v plain_o deciphr_v out_o the_o day_n which_o he_o call_v sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o in_o these_o word_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n and_o see_v exod._n 35.2_o and_o exod._n 23.12_o leu._n 23.3_o so_o then_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o very_a day_n which_o god_n understand_v by_o sabbath_n day_n now_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v our_o saturday_n for_o our_o lord_n day_n or_o sunday_n be_v call_v by_o all_o the_o 4_o evangelist_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n mat._n 28.1_o mark_n 16.2_o luk._n 24.1_o joh._n 20.1_o well_o then_o reckon_v on_o and_o saturday_n after_o will_v be_v your_o seven_o day_n furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o obscur_o declare_v in_o the_o reason_n to_o the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.11_o where_o almighty_a god_n set_v out_o his_o own_o ensample_n for_o we_o to_o imitate_v &_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o he_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o sabbath_n which_v seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n be_v our_o saturday_n final_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v use_v in_o the_o four_o come_v promiscuous_o the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o for_o it_o be_v say_v ex._n 20.11_o that_o god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n etc._n etc._n where_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v thus_o wherefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n etc._n etc._n unless_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v both_o one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o here_o i_o may_v add_v the_o testimony_n of_o walaeus_n de_fw-fr sabbatho_n pag._n 61._o who_o affitm_v and_o also_o prove_v it_o that_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v not_o use_v indefinite_o and_o indeterminat_o but_o for_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n three_o that_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v once_o command_v to_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o four_o come_v i_o prove_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o divine_n for_o do_v not_o all_o both_o protestant_n and_o papist_n acknowledge_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v crucify_v on_o good_a friday_n and_o that_o he_o lie_v in_o his_o grave_n all_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n and_o rise_v on_o our_o sunday_n whereby_o they_o confess_v that_o our_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n further_n more_o do_v not_o all_o divine_n affirm_v that_o saturday_n the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n &_o c_o in_o which_o word_n they_o confess_v that_o saturday_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n mention_v in_o the_o four_o come_v what_o need_v of_o further_a proof_n have_v find_v out_o particular_o which_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o which_o the_o four_o come_v have_v respect_n namely_o saturday_n now_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o make_v a_o more_o particular_a description_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v desribe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v that_o sacred_a time_n call_v saturday_n count_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v sanctify_v and_o hollow_v by_o god_n and_o appoint_v to_o be_v sanctisied_a by_o man_n i_o call_v it_o a_o sacred_a time_n and_o that_o in_o a_o double_a respect_n 1._o by_o destination_n 2._o by_o consecration_n the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v holy_a by_o destination_n it_o be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o holiness_n and_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v celebrate_v in_o it_o like_v as_o the_o temple_n once_o be_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o sanctify_v it_o exod._n 20.8_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v holy_a by_o consecration_n because_o at_o the_o creation_n god_n consecrate_v it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n and_o this_o he_o do_v two_o way_n 1._o by_o his_o personal_a and_o exemplary_a rest_n upon_o this_o day_n and_o the_o seven_o day_n he_o rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v genes_n 2.2_o for_o if_o the_o grind_v whereon_o moses_n stand_v become_v holy_a ground_n because_o of_o god_n presence_n there_o exod._n 3.5_o what_o shall_v hinder_v it_o but_o that_o in_o like_a sort_n the_o day_n wherein_o god_n himself_o rest_v shall_v forthwith_o become_v a_o holy_a day_n 2._o by_o his_o hallow_n and_o sanctify_v of_o this_o day_n so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o etc._n etc._n genes_n 2.3_o other_o sabbath_v be_v holy_a but_o by_o destination_n only_o but_o saturday_n sabbath_n be_v holy_a both_o by_o destination_n and_o by_o consecration_n also_o have_v finish_v this_o point_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o make_v some_o use_n and_o application_n of_o it_o the_o first_o use_n than_o shall_v be_v for_o information_n and_o thus_o i_o reason_n if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n and_o time_n which_o god_n aim_v at_o in_o his_o four_o come_v by_o those_o word_n sabbath_n day_n then_o may_v our_o translatores_fw-la in_o translate_n of_o the_o four_o come_v safe_o translate_v it_o saturday_n for_o sabbath_n day_n they_o may_v put_v saturday_n say_v remember_v saturday_n to_o sanctify_v it_o for_o saturday_n be_v that_o day_n proper_o mean_v by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n day_n neither_o have_v we_o any_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o will_v answer_v to_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o our_o saturday_n only_o and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o name_n saturday_n do_v not_o full_o express_v the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n because_o sabbath_n signify_v a_o rest_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o but_o this_o that_o to_o the_o name_n saturday_n we_o add_v the_o word_n rest_v and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o full_a sense_n thus_o saturday-r_a remember_v the_o saturday-r_a to_o sanctify_v it_o it_o be_v object_v against_o this_o that_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v bring_v a_o heathenish_a name_n as_o saturday_n be_v into_o the_o scripture_n etc._n etc._n hereto_o i_o answer_v i_o trust_v that_o as_o our_o holy_a use_n of_o our_o temple_n and_o church_n have_v purge_v that_o abuse_n of_o they_o unto_o which_o many_o of_o they_o be_v first_o erect_v so_o our_o christiaen_n use_v of_o the_o name_n saturday_n may_v sanctify_v and_o purge_v it_o from_o heathenish_a abuse_n 2._o we_o use_v the_o name_n but_o for_o distinction_n sake_n only_o void_a of_o all_o heathenish_a vanity_n now_o why_o may_v not_o the_o name_n saturday_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o 10_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o that_o heathenish_a name_n mars_n into_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n then_o paul_n stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o mars_n hill_n and_o say_v etc._n etc._n but_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o contend_v for_o this_o i_o leave_v it_o unto_o the_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n of_o our_o learned_a translatores_fw-la all_o that_o i_o aim_v at_o hereby_o be_v only_o this_o that_o i_o desire_v all_o mean_n and_o help_n may_v be_v afford_v whereby_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v easy_o understand_v and_o that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v by_o the_o ignorant_a and_o unlearned_a this_o one_o sore_a evil_n i_o find_v that_o whilst_o we_o retain_v the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o com._n it_o be_v a_o hebrew_n word_n it_o be_v in_o our_o church_n as_o it_o be_v in_o those_o day_n where_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o latin_a because_o the_o people_n understand_v not_o the_o latin_a tongue_n the_o priest_n may_v make_v what_o exposition_n they_o will_v and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o because_o the_o word_n sabbath_n a_o hebrew_n word_n be_v not_o translate_v into_o english_a but_o red_a in_o our_o bibles_n and_o retain_v still_o our_o minister_n many_o of_o they_o give_v what_o feign_a and_o fabulouse_a exposition_n of_o the_o word_n sabbath_n they_o please_v as_o a_o sabbath_n and_o the_o sabbath_n and_o a_o rest_n and_o all_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v draw_v the_o four_o com._n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o expound_v it_o of_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o sunday_n as_o if_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n may_v be_v give_v indifferent_o unto_o any_o day_n of_o the_o week_n none_o of_o which_o corrupt_a gloss_n can_v delud_v the_o people_n if_o they_o have_v the_o word_n sabbath_n day_n translate_v into_o english_a word_n for_o so_o they_o need_v not_o so_o whole_o rely_v upon_o the_o minister_n
sabbath_n &_o for_o man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o this_o office_n it_o be_v but_o a_o usurpation_n if_o they_o say_v in_o god_n account_n than_o i_o answer_v as_o for_o the_o 6._o day_n they_o be_v unfit_a for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o god_n account_n because_o god_n appoint_v they_o for_o labour_a day_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v etc._n etc._n exod._n 20.9_o wherefore_o if_o we_o may_v take_v that_o day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n which_o god_n esteem_v fit_a then_o must_v we_o have_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n for_o that_o god_n esteem_v this_o the_o fit_a day_n of_o all_o other_o it_o appear_v in_o that_o he_o give_v a_o come_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o this_o day_n above_o all_o other_o god_n command_v this_o day_n &_o he_o never_o command_v any_o day_n beside_o this_o day_n but_o hereunto_o they_o will_v thus_o reply_v but_o we_o mean_v it_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n only_o that_o day_n of_o the_o 6_o begin_n at_o sunday_n for_o the_o first_o of_o the_o 6_o which_o be_v the_o fit_a that_o day_n must_v be_v sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o for_o the_o seven_o day_n we_o hold_v that_o to_o be_v abolish_v i_o answer_v admit_v for_o argument_n sake_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v abolish_v which_o be_v more_o than_o ever_o they_o shall_v prove_v let_v we_o take_v they_o in_o their_o meaning_n of_o the_o 6_o day_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o for_o this_o their_o argue_v be_v but_o a_o slay_v beg_v of_o the_o question_n &_o that_o by_o take_v that_o in_o their_o argument_n for_o grant_v which_o they_o shall_v first_o have_v prove_v to_o wit_n that_o some_o one_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n and_o then_o this_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o next_o place_n they_o may_v consider_v which_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n be_v the_o fit_a for_o the_o sabbath_n and_o that_o in_o god_n account_n for_o thing_n may_v be_v fit_a for_o a_o use_n in_o man_n account_n which_o god_n never_o ordain_v to_o that_o use_n this_o their_o argue_v be_v like_a in_o absurdety_n unto_o this_o a_o man_n have_v 7_o son_n concern_v these_o thus_o one_o may_v argue_v the_o elder_a son_n be_v a_o lawyer_n because_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o elder_a son_n be_v a_o physician_n because_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a for_o a_o physician_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o fitness_n he_o be_v neither_o lawyer_n nor_o physician_n the_o elder_a son_n be_v fit_a for_o a_o gentleman_n &_o yet_o he_o may_v be_v a_o beggar_n saul_n of_o all_o man_n present_a be_v fit_a to_o offer_v sacrifice_n &_o yet_o god_n never_o ordain_v he_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n so_o the_o lord_n day_n may_v in_o a_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o fit_a for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o yet_o god_n never_o ordain_v it_o for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o these_o be_v idle_a thing_n first_o therefore_o let_v they_o handle_v their_o argument_n prove_v that_o christ_n have_v ordain_v any_o one_o or_o some_o one_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n and_o then_o let_v they_o prove_v it_o show_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v fit_a when_o a_o man_n go_v into_o a_o glover_n shop_n he_o must_v not_o use_v such_o logic_n as_o this_o this_o pair_n of_o glone_n be_v site_a for_o i_o therefore_o they_o be_v i_o he_o must_v first_o know_v if_o the_o glover_n will_v part_n which_o they_o so_o or_o not_o for_o there_o must_v be_v something_o else_o beside_o fitness_n or_o else_o you_o must_v go_v which_o out_o they_o so_o first_o let_v they_o show_v we_o that_o christ_n will_v have_v one_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n and_o then_o let_v they_o show_v which_o of_o the_o 6._o he_o will_v have_v in_o the_o mean_a space_n i_o will_v disprove_v they_o and_o show_v that_o none_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n be_v fit_a for_o a_o sabbath_n for_o 1._o god_n with_o ut_fw-la any_o repeal_n bathe_v give_v a_o come_v that_o these_o 6_o day_n wee_a shall_v labour_v exod._n 20.9_o and_o therefore_o these_o 6_o day_n be_v not_o fit_v any_o of_o they_o for_o a_o sabbath_n two_o i_o will_v show_v that_o of_o all_o the_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o that_o because_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n with_o his_o approbation_n travail_v on_o this_o day_n at_o least_o 15_o mile_n which_o we_o know_v of_o as_o have_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o luk._n 24.13.15.33.36_o the_o which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v judge_v it_o fit_a for_o a_o sabbath_n day_n three_o s._n paul_n do_v voluntary_o omit_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o he_o may_v have_v keep_v it_o with_o those_o christian_n at_o antioch_n for_o but_o

wherefore_o none_o of_o the_o 6_o day_n be_v fit_a in_o god_n account_n for_o a_o sabbath_n no_o not_o the_o lord_n day_n itself_o they_o must_v therefore_o bring_v some_o other_o &_o better_a

because_o certain_a famous_a work_n be_v do_v thereon_o as_o 1._o christ_n rise_v on_o it_o 2._o appear_v on_o it_o 3._o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v on_o it_o 4._o peter_n preach_v convert_v

by_o week_n the_o seven_o &_o last_o thing_n they_o have_v that_o have_v any_o likelihood_n to_o prove_v this_o constancy_n be_v the_o frequent_a apparition_n of_o christ_n evermore_o upon_o the_o

will_v afford_v no_o such_o collection_n for_o the_o text_n say_v not_o upon_o the_o same_o day_n seven-night_n wherein_o christ_n rise_v etc._n etc._n but_o it_o say_v eight_o day_n after_o the_o

shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o that_o be_v it_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o reconcile_v two_o text_n of_o scripture_n we_o be_v necessitate_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n write_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o former_a reason_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o never_o

sabbath_n shall_v contain_v in_o it_o a_o moral_a day_n and_o ceremonial_a day_n or_o day_n some_o whereof_o be_v never_o write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n as_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n and_o some_o such_o as_o god_n write_v with_o his_o own_o finger_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n an_o other_o reason_n fetch_v from_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o if_o in_o this_o word_n sabbath_n they_o will_v includ_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n then_o do_v they_o abolish_v by_o this_o text_n col._n 2.16_o not_o only_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o also_o the_o rest_n but_o also_o the_o very_a commandment_n itself_o the_o four_o come_v &_o that_o be_v abolish_v under_o these_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v

be_v radical_o indeed_o in_o your_o minister_n for_o the_o blind_a do_v lead_v the_o blind_a nevertheless_o you_o have_v your_o share_n therein_o because_o you_o justify_v their_o do_n &_o approve_v

of_o these_o thing_n as_o if_o common_a people_n can_v not_o understand_v they_o nor_o any_o but_o minister_n &_o man_n of_o learning_n can_v judge_v of_o they_o man_n may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o

in_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o minister_n against_o something_o command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o this_o opposition_n there_o arise_v difficulty_n because_o they_o trouble_v the_o water_n of_o man_n understanding_n by_o bring_v many_o &_o intricate_a reason_n out_o of_o scripture_n against_o the_o sabbath_n day_n write_v in_o the_o four_o come_v

see_v where_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v my_o counsel_n to_o all_o such_o people_n as_o plead_v ignorance_n &_o want_v of_o learning_n in_o this_o controversy_n shall_v be_v that_o they_o will_v therefore_o rather_o follow_v god_n than_o their_o minister_n for_o god_n way_n be_v a_o plain_a smooth_a easy_a &_o beat_a way_n so_o as_o every_o man_n learn_v or_o unlern_v may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o be_v which_o god_n require_v in_o this_o catechism_n point_n of_o his_o four_o come_v but_o their_o minister_n way_n in_o set_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v and_o root_v out_o god_n sabbath_n it_o be_v such_o a_o rugged_a way_n &_o such_o a_o difficult_a way_n full_a of_o so_o many_o secret_a &_o hidden_a wind_n &_o turn_n as_o people_n of_o common_a capacety_n can_v conceive_v it_o nor_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o themselves_o say_v wherefore_o my_o counsel_n unto_o these_o be_v this_o that_o they_o rather_o take_v part_n with_o god_n &_o with_o his_o sabbath_n then_o with_o their_o minister_n against_o god_n &_o his_o sabbath_n because_o god_n way_n be_v a_o easy_a &_o know_a way_n but_o man_n way_n be_v a_o intricate_a &_o
difficult_a way_n and_o further_o let_v they_o not_o dare_v to_o live_v in_o the_o weekly_a transgression_n of_o the_o four_o come_v &_o profanation_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n bear_v themselves_o only_a upon_o this_o poor_a ground_n that_o their_o minister_n say_v they_o may_v so_o do_v &_o that_o their_o minister_n bring_v many_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o god_n sabbath_n day_n since_o those_o argument_n as_o themselves_o confess_v they_o understand_v not_o nor_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o for_o want_v of_o learning_n when_o they_o hear_v or_o read_v they_o dispute_v of_o the_o apostle_n say_v whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o if_o then_o they_o can_v comprehend_v &_o conceive_v of_o the_o opposite_a argument_n

of_o faith_n they_o must_v do_v it_o doubtting_o &_o so_o sinful_o wherefore_o the_o better_a &_o easy_o know_v way_n be_v the_o sure_a &_o safe_a way_n &_o that_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o god_n rest_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n &_o thus_o much_o for_o people_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o minister_n the_o first_o thing_n i_o lay_v to_o

to_o keep_v that_o day_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v and_o keep_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o

nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n
