question_n be_v how_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o by_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v mean_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o by_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v mean_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o

day_n of_o his_o ascension_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o to_o make_v this_o appear_v first_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o as_o in_o general_a all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v say_v to_o be_v his_o psalm_n 50._o so_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v he_o but_o more_o proper_o that_o day_n which_o be_v set_v apart_o to_o his_o service_n be_v say_v to_o be_v he_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o supper_n wherein_o christ_n depart_v do_v institute_v the_o sacrament_n be_v call_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n 1._o cor._n 11._o 20_o the_o table_n the_o lord_n table_n the_o cup_n the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n 1._o cor._n 11._o 21_o etc._n etc._n because_o they_o be_v all_o more_o special_o consecrate_v unto_o the_o lord_n service_n so_o must_v it_o also_o necessary_o here_o be_v take_v that_o by_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o apostle_n mean_v some_o one_o day_n that_o be_v famous_o know_v in_o the_o church_n to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o

keep_v as_o they_o will_v thrust_v upon_o we_o the_o apostle_n have_v need_v to_o have_v make_v his_o speech_n plain_a upon_o which_o of_o these_o he_o be_v ravish_v in_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o in_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v not_o any_o other_o day_n mention_v than_o this_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v consequent_o be_v understand_v of_o this_o it_o be_v then_o keep_v as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o the_o other_o day_n then_o not_o observe_v but_o bring_v in_o afterward_o and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v appear_v yet_o more_o plain_o if_o we_o give_v any_o credit_n unto_o that_o which_o master_n beza_n note_v which_o be_v that_o he_o find_v in_o a_o certain_a ancient_a greek_a copy_n these_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

be_v the_o lord_n day_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n must_v be_v mean_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o also_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o which_o master_n junius_n observe_v out_o of_o the_o syriak_a translation_n which_o be_v that_o whereas_o it_o be_v in_o the_o greek_a when_o you_o be_v come_v together_o in_o the_o church_n in_o

enough_o for_o we_o to_o forbear_v our_o work_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v it_o idle_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o keep_v it_o holy_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o holy_a sabbath_n and_o a_o holy_a
