the_o nation_n be_v cast_v out_o because_o they_o do_v not_o keep_v all_o israel_n law_n but_o because_o they_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n by_o those_o unnatural_a and_o unlawful_a lust_n mention_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n but_o second_o if_o they_o viz._n the_o nation_n be_v cast_v out_o because_o they_o do_v not_o keep_v all_o israel_n statute_n than_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o israel_n as_o well_o as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o last_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o the_o 19_o chapter_n be_v include_v in_o all_o the_o law_n mention_v in_o the_o 20_o chapter_n i_o answer_v so_o be_v the_o reverence_v the_o sanctuary_n require_v in_o the_o same_o ver_fw-la where_o the_o

these_o thing_n be_v as_o true_o command_v in_o the_o 19_o chapter_n as_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n and_o be_v as_o necessary_o include_v in_o that_o universal_a term_n all_o the_o statute_n and_o

nation_n to_o keep_v all_o israel_n statute_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n mention_v in_o the_o nineteenth_o chapter_n i_o say_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n the_o gentile_a nation_n be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n that_o require_v they_o to_o reverence_v the_o sanctuary_n and_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o count_v the_o

for_o they_o be_v not_o where_o call_v statute_n so_o that_o statute_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o ordinance_n be_v another_o mr._n ives_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n and_o this_o distinction_n be_v

where_o any_o commandment_n be_v call_v statute_n they_o be_v not_o understand_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n here_o mr._n tillam_n stand_v up_o to_o justify_v mr._n coppinger_n distinction_n viz._n that_o god_n law_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o his_o statute_n and_o judgement_n another_o and_o for_o this_o he_o cite_v mal._n 4._o where_o it_o be_v say_v remember_v you_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n

ergo_fw-la 〈◊〉_d viz._n the_o gentile_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n do_v keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n mr._n ives_n this_o be_v argue_v and_o

you_o say_v the_o gentile_n do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o conclude_v a_o particular_a proposition_n when_o the_o premise_n be_v indefinite_a for_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o

therefore_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o gentile_n do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o therefore_o they_o do_v all_o thing_n therein_o contain_v may_v not_o a_o man_n as_o well_o plead_v for_o circumcision_n and_o say_v that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n teach_v people_n to_o be_v circumcise_v and_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n because_o circumcision_n and_o sacrifice_a be_v thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n therefore_o they_o be_v observer_n of_o circumcise_n and_o sacrifice_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v not_o every_o sensible_a man_n call_v this_o a_o senseless_a argument_n and_o yet_o thus_o mr._n coppinger_n reason_n the_o gentile_n do_v by_o

nor_o can_v keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n mr._n coppinger_n if_o the_o gentile_n do_v those_o thing_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o law_n that_o forbid_v steal_v and_o adultery_n than_o they_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o same_o law_n but_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o law_n which_o forbid_v steal_v and_o adultery_n therefore_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n mr._n ives_n i_o do_v assure_v you_o sir_n if_o it_o be_v not_o but_o that_o i_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o multitude_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o have_v they_o go_v away_o unsatisfied_a i_o have_v not_o say_v a_o word_n to_o your_o last_o argument_n because_o you_o know_v you_o be_v by_o agreement_n to_o answer_v my_o argument_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o you_o make_v argument_n and_o turn_v opponent_n when_o as_o you_o be_v by_o agreement_n this_o day_n to_o be_v respondent_fw-la however_o sir_n take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o the_o gentile_n may_v do_v by_o nature_n those_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n that_o forbid_v steal_v and_o adultery_n and_o yet_o the_o consequence_n do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o man_n that_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o the_o turk_n he_o observe_v a_o law_n that_o forbid_v steal_v and_o murder_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o england_n because_o he_o do_v observe_v a_o law_n that_o require_v many_o of_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o english_a law_n in_o like_a manner_n many_o of_o those_o law_n which_o be_v write_v upon_o the_o table_n of_o the_o gentile_n heart_n be_v write_v upon_o israel_n table_n of_o stone_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v write_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o gentile_n who_o be_v there_o but_o may_v perceive_v the_o non-concludencie_a of_o this_o argument_n may_v not_o a_o man_n as_o well_o reason_n thus_o the_o turk_n observe_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o christian_a law_n therefore_o they_o observe_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n of_o christianity_n and_o further_o the_o turk_n observe_v that_o law_n which_o the_o english_a man_n observe_v which_o require_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o kill_v and_o steal_v therefore_o the_o turk_n observe_v the_o english-man_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n again_o the_o people_n in_o america_n observe_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o jew_n law_n which_o require_v man_n not_o to_o kill_v and_o steal_v do_v it_o follow_v that_o therefore_o the_o people_n in_o america_n observe_v the_o jew_n seventh-day_n sabbath_n be_v not_o these_o kind_n of_o arguing_n the_o same_o with_o mr._n coppinger_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gentile_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o jew_n law_n and_o therefore_o they_o keep_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n but_o do_v not_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o appear_v for_o be_v there_o not_o thousand_o of_o good_a people_n in_o england_n that_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o jew_n law_n in_o the_o apostle_n sense_n that_o yet_o never_o keep_v the_o saturday_n or_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o argument_n let_v i_o add_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o keep_v the_o jewish_a or_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n without_o the_o help_n of_o tradition_n and_o therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o that_o day_n be_v not_o moral_a the_o reason_n i_o shall_v give_v be_v because_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sick_a of_o a_o violent_a distemper_n that_o have_v bereave_v he_o of_o his_o sense_n yet_o when_o this_o man_n come_v to_o his_o right_a understanding_n again_o he_o will_v know_v without_o a_o guide_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o steal_v but_o without_o the_o guide_n of_o tradition_n he_o can_v know_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v have_v lose_v his_o account_n thereof_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o distraction_n and_o therefore_o common_a experience_n tell_v we_o that_o this_o man_n be_v force_v to_o ask_v those_o that_o be_v about_o he_o what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n it_o be_v now_o than_o if_o he_o do_v not_o

can_v have_v know_v the_o 7th-day_n sabbath_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n what_o need_n be_v there_o for_o this_o man_n be_v come_v to_o his_o sense_n to_o inquire_v what_o day_n of_o the_o

namely_o that_o if_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n without_o tradition_n do_v do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n that_o then_o they_o do_v keep_v the_o 7th-day_n
