35 You cannot find in all the 14. to the Romans that the Apostle is positive in the doctrine of days, he expresseth a mutual indulgence until men had attained [Greek or Hebrew] concerning the liberty from Moses Law. Neither doth he bear out the Gentiles against the Jews, but qualify rather the destempered zeal of the Gentiles that were too hot against the Jews; Sensus dictorum sumendus est ex causis dicendorum, It is plain that there was a question, whether the Christian gentile should be pressed to observe the ceremonies whereunto the christian Jews were pertinaciously addicted? but never was there (for ought I read) a question whether the Jews should keep the Lords day? for I think they never refused it. Had there been such a quarrel, I would enlarge the sense of that Chapter, as you do, to our question, but seeing there was not, I see not how it should be reasonably done.
