A14653	The doctrine of the Sabbath Wherein the first institution of the vveekly Sabbath, with the time thereof, the nature of the law binding man to keep it, the true ground, and necessity of the first institution, and of the observation of it, on the severall day in the Old Testament, and also of the moving of it to the first day under the Gospel, are laid open and proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Also besides the speciall dueties necessarily required for the due sanctification thereof, those two profitable points are proved by demonstrations out of Gods Word. First, that the Lord Christ God and man, is the Lord of the Sabbath, on whom the Sabbath was first founded...2. That the faithfull under the Gospell are as necessarily bound to keep the weekly Sabbath of the Lords day... Deliverd in divers sermons by George Walker B. of Divinity and pastor of St. Iohn Evangelists Church in London.	Walker, George, 1581?-1651.	1638 (1638)	STC 24957; ESTC S103296	151,861	168

the_o week_n and_o in_o honour_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n on_o that_o day_n have_v from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n agree_v to_o keep_v that_o day_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n not_o out_o of_o any_o opinion_n that_o god_n have_v bless_v &_o sanctify_v it_o above_o all_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o only_o for_o good_a order_n sake_n and_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a

upon_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o orthodox_n divine_v both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a even_o upon_o the_o confession_n of_o they_o who_o in_o this_o point_n much_o differ_v and_o seem_v to_o

whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n therein_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n require_v rest_n from_o all_o servile_a work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v two_o first_o because_o he_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o our_o redeemer_n have_v on_o that_o day_n rest_v from_o his_o work_n and_o he_o we_o ought_v to_o imitate_v if_o we_o will_v enter_v into_o his_o rest_n second_o because_o he_o have_v bless_v the_o day_n which_o be_v his_o sabbath_n above_o all_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o wheresoever_o the_o cause_n and_o reason_n stand_v firm_a there_o the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n now_o this_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v reach_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o &_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o it_o requir_n rest_v from_o servile_a work_n be_v much_o more_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o be_v the_o christian_a sab_n then_o in_o the_o old_a sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n for_o in_o it_o christ_n who_o be_v god_n over_o all_o bless_a for_o ever_o and_o who_o be_v our_o redeemer_n from_o a_o great_a than_o egyptian_a bondage_n even_o the_o slavery_n of_o sin_n death_n and_o hell_n and_o the_o devil_n have_v rest_v from_o the_o great_a work_n of_o redemption_n as_o god_n the_o creator_n do_v one_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o this_o

seven_o day_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o sabbath_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n &_o in_o it_o god_n requir_n of_o we_o by_o his_o law_n a_o rest_n &_o total_a cessation_n from_o all_o servile_a
