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

christ_n and_o it_o be_v loathsome_a and_o tedious_a to_o they_o &_o notwithstanding_o many_o and_o great_a opposition_n of_o profane_a person_n yet_o we_o see_v it_o stand_v firm_a in_o all_o age_n since_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o all_o christian_a church_n none_o but_o heretic_n have_v reject_v it_o &_o all_o godly_a christian_n find_v solid_a joy_n &_o abudance_n of_o blessing_n in_o the_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o cut_v of_o or_o consume_v man_n in_o wrath_n but_o for_o some_o notable_a scandalous_a sin_n &_o transgression_n against_o some_o express_a law_n &_o
