A77209	An answer to M. Cawdry's two books of the Sabbath, lately come forth Wherein the author doth two things: 1. He vindicates himselfe from Mr Cawdrie's unfriendly abuse of him, in fathering upon him three texts of scripture, and three arguments deduced from them, to prove the perpetuity of the antient Sabbath, ... Wherein the author hath 1. Answered and confuted all that Mr. Cawdry hath wrote to corrupt the sense and meaning of the Commandement. 2. He hath restored the antient, genuine, and proper sense of the Commandement: and confirmed it by sundry undeniable arguments. By Theophilus Brabourne.

time_n for_o ecclesiastical_a h●storians_n ancient_o use_v the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n for_o saturday_n the_o latin_n do_v so_o to_o this_o day_n and_o in_o england_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o

namely_o saturday_n therefore_o the_o four_o commandment_n must_v be_v expound_v of_o this_o one_o day_n saturday_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o not_o of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o as_o uncertain_a which_o day_n it_o be_v thus_o you_o have_v see_v this_o argument_n prove_v but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v be_v not_o our_o lord_n day_n common_o call_v sabbath_n

they_o please_v every_o fast_a day_n every_o thanksgiving_n day_n &_o every_o christmas_n day_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o this_o be_v but_o a_o novelty_n of_o yesterday_n stand_v and_o as_o the_o name_n be_v novel_a so_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o or_o for_o a_o sabbath_n novel_a also_o as_o by_o and_o by_o you_o shall_v see_v for_o 1._o the_o lord_n day_n be_v never_o call_v sabbath_n day_n in_o any_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n let_v they_o show_v we_o a_o text_n for_o it_o if_o they_o can_v 2._o these_o author_n before_o mention_v st_o augustine_n

and_o of_o the_o same_o authority_n with_o good_a friday_n the_o passion_n day_n christmas_n day_n and_o o_o her_o holy_a day_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o these_o man_n can_v not_o think_v in_o their_o time_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n or_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o do_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o four_o commandment_n 3._o in_o the_o five_o year_n of_o edward_n the_o six_o a_o act_n be_v make_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o holy_a day_n as_o sunday_n st_n matthews_n day_n st_n mark_v day_n and_o the_o other_o holy_a day_n in_o which_o act_n both_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n spiritual_a the_o bishop_n the_o lord_n temporal_a and_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o express_o confess_v that_o they_o know_v no_o scripture_n for_o sunday_n or_o the_o

and_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n day_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n be_v but_o a_o novelty_n and_o spring_v up_o but_o since_o edward_n the_o six_o his_o day_n 4._o i_o be_o sixty_o four_o

that_o thus_o keep_v it_o can_v not_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n or_o call_v it_o a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o far_o of_o my_o five_o argument_n argument_n the_o six_o if_o the_o four_o

or_o any_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o then_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v now_o to_o be_v expound_v for_o saturday_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o we●ke_n and_o not_o for_o

than_o to_o expound_v it_o as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v ancient_o if_o therefore_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v ancient_o expound_v for_o saturday_n it_o must_v be_v so_o expound_v still_o and_o in_o our_o time_n take_v a_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o that_o of_o circumcision_n or_o the_o passeover_n and_o if_o you_o will_v expound_v and_o open_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o now_o you_o must_v render_v the_o same_o sense_n of_o it_o now_o which_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n give_v of_o it_o ancient_o or_o else_o your_o exposition_n be_v false_a i_o do_v not_o say_v a_o ceremonial_a law_n bind_v now_o as_o it_o do_v ancient_o but_o yet_o i_o say_v the_o exposition_n of_o it_o be_v the_o same_o now_o which_o it_o be_v ancient_o as_o if_o you_o fall_v upon_o exposition_n of_o the_o time_n and_o day_n of_o circumcision_n or_o the_o passover_n you_o must_v expound_v it_o now_o of_o the_o eight_o day_n not_o of_o the_o seven_o or_o nine_o day_n and_o of_o the_o fourteen_o day_n of_o the_o month_n not_o of_o the_o fourteen_o day_n of_o the_o year_n and_o so_o you_o must_v deal_v with_o every_o of_o the_o ten_o moral_a commandment_n or_o else_o you_o deal_v false_o with_o they_o as_o for_o the_o second_o preposition_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v expound_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o their_o people_n the_o jew_n for_o saturday_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n not_o for_o sunday_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o for_o any_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o because_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o be_v teach_v and_o instruct_v by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n keep_v the_o saturday_n and_o not_o the_o sunday_n by_o the_o four_o commandment_n yea_o this_o mr_n cawdry_n confess_v say_v the_o

be_v the_o true_a exposition_n sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n but_o never_o do_v jesuit_n more_o shameful_o corrupt_v the_o second_o commandment_n about_o image_n or_o any_o other_o scripture_n than_o mr_n cawdry_n have_v corrupt_v god_n four_o commandment_n as_o appear_v by_o my_o several_a answer_n to_o his_o six_o argument_n he_o have_v do_v good_a service_n to_o almighty_a god_n to_o use_v his_o wit_n to_o overthrow_v his_o sabbath_n and_o corrupt_v one_o of_o his_o ten_o commandment_n wherefore_o he_o may_v expect_v his_o reward_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o give_v every_o one_o according_a as_o his_o own_o work_n have_v be_v have_v vindicate_v the_o four_o commandment_n from_o mr_n cawdry_n corrupt_a gloss_n and_o false_a exposition_n of_o it_o now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o shall_v prove_v against_o mr_n cawdry_n that_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n but_o the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o fall_v upon_o our_o saturday_n in_o my_o proof_n whereof_o mr_n cawdry_n shall_v see_v that_o we_o have_v many_o more_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o four_o commandment_n to_o prove_v this_o point_n than_o the_o ordinall_n number_n seven_o by_o the_o great_a pain_n mr_n cawdry_n have_v take_v to_o draw_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o the_o exposition_n of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o and_o also_o for_o that_o by_o this_o exposition_n he_o have_v make_v answer_n to_o many_o of_o my_o twenty_o four_o argument_n hereby_o you_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o main_a and_o chief_a controversy_n about_o the_o sabbath_n will_v be_v determine_v by_o his_o or_o n_z y_z exposition_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v be_v the_o large_a in_o prove_v my_o exposition_n for_o the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v this_o point_n that_o the_o four_o commandment_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v expound_v for_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o of_o the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o seven_o definite_o argument_n the_o first_o my_o first_o argument_n shall_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n this_o word_n sabbath_n i_o confess_v signify_v rest_n but_o there_o be_v more_o in_o it_o than_o so_o for_o it_o be_v

for_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v our_o sunday_n and_o thus_o i_o prove_v it_o 1._o wheresoever_o in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n you_o read_v the_o word_n sabbath_n
