A60480	The doctrine of the Church of England, concerning the Lord's Day, or Sunday-Sabbath as it is laid down in the liturgy, catechism, and book of homilies, vindicated from the vulgar errours of modern writers, and settled upon the only proper and sure basis of God's precept to Adam, and patriarchal practice, where an essay is laid down to prove, that the patriarchal Sabbath instituted, Gen. 2. 3. celebrated by the patriarchs before the Mosaick Law, and re-inforc'd in the fourth precept of the Decalogue, was the same day of the VVeek, viz. Sunday, which Christians celebrate in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world by the redemption of mankind.	Smith, John, Rector of St. Mary's in Colchester.	1683 (1683)	Wing S4110; ESTC R3081	78,815	242

of_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n a_o consequence_n which_o a_o mahometan_a may_v perhaps_o not_o disgust_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v sound_v harsh_a in_o a_o christian_n ear._n arg._n 2._o there_o can_v no_o other_o justifiable_a account_n be_v give_v of_o christian_n celebrate_v sunday_n but_o this_o that_o the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o temporary_a and_o therefore_o to_o give_v place_n to_o that_o day_n that_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o begin_n by_o god_n example_n and_o precept_n give_v place_n i_o say_v to_o that_o at_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n without_o any_o new_a precept_n 1._o for_o if_o saturday-sabbath_n have_v be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o god_n rest_v and_o command_v adam_n to_o rest_v on_o and_o keep_v holy_a it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v unsanctified_a but_o by_o a_o precept_n as_o manifest_v and_o of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o that_o be_v whereby_o it_o be_v institute_v which_o i_o be_o

for_o what_o argumentative_a force_n can_v there_o be_v in_o christ_n rise_n his_o appear_v after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o celebrate_v religious_a assembly_n with_o his_o apostle_n ordinary_o on_o

give_v its_o crown_n to_o sunday_n comparable_a to_o the_o express_a command_n of_o god_n ground_v upon_o his_o own_o example_n to_o sanctify_v saturday_n nay_o what_o be_v man_n plead_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n upon_o supposition_n that_o saturday_n be_v god_n day_n of_o rest_n and_o command_v by_o he_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o a_o set_n up_o of_o their_o own_o conceit_n and_o miscollect_v conclusion_n that_o because_o saturday_n be_v institute_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o sunday_n be_v the_o day_n wherein_o christ_n perfect_v
