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

in_o order_n whereunto_o i_o shall_v propound_v these_o preliminary_n 1._o that_o the_o progress_n of_o man_n devotion_n for_o sunday_n above_o other_o holiday_n into_o superstition_n aught_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v prevent_v and_o the_o jewish_a yoke_n of_o the_o strict_a ceremonial_a rest_n of_o their_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o their_o sabbath-day_n itself_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v off_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o disciple_n because_o that_o ceremonial_a rest_n be_v a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v by_o christ_n the_o retain_v of_o the_o shadow_n be_v a_o deny_v that_o

yet_o a_o due_a respect_n to_o the_o lord's-day_n ought_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v encourage_v 1._o because_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o common_a notion_n of_o serious_a christian_n and_o that_o argue_v it_o to_o be_v a_o infusion_n from_o that_o one_o spirit_n into_o which_o we_o be_v all_o baptize_v and_o by_o which_o as_o their_o intellectus_fw-la agens_fw-la or_o common_a soul_n all_o christ_n live_a member_n be_v animate_v 2._o because_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o sure_a nail_n fasten_v by_o the_o master_n of_o assembly_n for_o the_o support_n of_o religion_n especial_o in_o this_o age_n for_o this_o principle_n be_v that_o that_o not_o only_o bring_v man_n to_o church_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o to_o be_v instruct_v by_o he_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o also_o oblige_v they_o in_o conscience_n to_o do_v something_o extraordinary_a in_o their_o family_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n towards_o the_o educate_v they_o in_o the_o nurture_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n beyond_o what_o they_o think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o do_v on_o the_o weekday_n so_o that_o if_o this_o be_v a_o error_n it_o will_v be_v a_o happy_a error_n as_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o true_o if_o i_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o other_o opinion_n that_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n have_v no_o other_o ground_n than_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n be_v a_o truth_n i_o shall_v think_v it_o a_o truth_n not_o necessary_a to_o be_v publish_v for_o if_o man_n do_v not_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o promote_a the_o interest_n of_o their_o soul_n with_o more_o seriousness_n of_o devotion_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o persuade_v they_o to_o in_o keep_v other_o holiday_n the_o common_a practice_n of_o most_o and_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o more_o religious_a consider_v ceres_n and_o bacchus_n will_v have_v more_o service_n from_o christian_n than_o the_o only_a true_a god_n for_o how_o i_o pray_v be_v our_o very_a chief_a holiday_n celebrate_v such_o as_o christmas_n easter_n pentecost_n sunday_n except_v but_o by_o card_v dance_a revel_a whitsun-ales_n &_o c_o if_o god_n therefore_o have_v not_o better_a sacrifice_n offer_v to_o he_o and_o man_n soul_n better_a sustenance_n administer_v to_o they_o on_o the_o lord's-day_n man_n will_v rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o starve_v their_o own_o soul_n 3._o the_o first_o error_n in_o the_o digestion_n of_o man_n thought_n touch_v this_o controversy_n be_v the_o common_a hypothesis_n of_o all_o modern_a litigant_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o lord's-day_n come_v in_o as_o a_o successor_n in_o the_o room_n of_o saturday_n upon_o which_o sandy_a ground_n it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o lay_v any_o solid_a foundation_n for_o sanctify_v the_o lord's-day_n for_o if_o that_o day_n which_o god_n by_o his_o example_n and_o

less_o can_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n counterbalance_n it_o brief_o they_o proclaim_v sunday_n a_o usurp_a intruder_n into_o the_o privilege_n of_o saturday_n rather_o than_o its_o
