attend to Gods worship c. So Augustine And you see he speakes this not as his owne particular opinion but as it was the Tenet of the whole Catholike Church So as the whole ancient Catholike Church did not onely observe but call the Lords day the Sabbath of the Lord which they kept in place of the old Sabbath day Thus did H. B. informe me And I remember Hilary calls it so saying Though in the seventh day of the weeke both the name and observance of the Sabbath be established yet wee on the eigth day which also is the first doe injoy the festivity of the perfect Sabbath Lo here this Father also calls the Lords day the day of our perfect Sabbath But this suffice A. It is a very pregnant place for his purpose and sufficient to answer fully all the cavills which are brought to the contrary so as if H. B. doe but alledge this one place it will cleare all the other But Sir here is a huge clamour especially of late dayes raised against the name of Sabbath applyed to the Lords day I pray you may it not be called the Sabbath day And what doth our Church hold concerning this B. That the Lords day may be called the Sabbath day I make no question And that for many reasons 1. Because it is our Rest-day 2. The Apostle calls our rest a Sabbatisme 3. The very name of Lords day imports so much as being the Lords holy day as Esa. 58. 13. and that day whereon the Lord rested from his worke of Redemption and so sanctified by him and to him A. D. Wh. denies that Christ upon the day of his Resurrection rested from the worke of Redemption B. I conferred with H. B. about this because it much concernes him to quitt this question seeing on Christs resting on that day hee grounds the Sabbatisme of it as agreeable to the fourth Commandement And in my judgement if hee can evince and cleare it it will proove unanswerable And hee tells me that hee hath in two severall Treatises in Latin against Theo. Brab fully cleared it and remooved all objections and cavillations that either Th. Br. or F. VVh have or can bring to the contrary And hee purposeth to doe the like to D. VVh And hee made it very cleare to me that Christs Rest from the worke of Redemption from sinne on the Crosse and from death in the grave which was a branch of that worke began not till his Resurrection As for his Ascension that was into the place of rest but his Resurrection was into the state of rest As for D. VVh his objection with Th. Brab that Christ laboured on that day H. B. shewes it to be absurd and ridiculous seeing Christ arose with a body glorifyed and impassible so as his actions that day could not be called a labour that thereby the new Sabbath should be broken But you aske me what our Church holdeth concerning this that the Lords day is called the Sabbath day In brief I have observed that in the Homilies it is no lesse then ten severall times called expresly the Sabbath day 8. times in the Homily fore-cited and twice in the third Homily of Rebellion Also Canon 70. in the Articles of the two last Trienniall visitations of London In K. Iames his Proclamation May 7. 1603 twice In an exhortation at a generall Fast set forth by him in the first yeare of his Raigne In Archbishop Bancrofts visitation Articles for Canterbury Art 75. 76. I might compile a whole volume of instances in this kind Yea there seldome comes forth a Brief but it calls it the Sabbath day But least neither the Church of England in her publike doctrine nor the pious workes of her grave and learned sons may perhaps satisfy the Adversaries importunity yet I hope the writings of his more pious and no lesse learned brother D. Iohn VVhite and those also both republished and vindicated by Fr. VVhite from the Iesuites calumnies white dyed black c. will a little qualify him How D. Iohn VVhite doth not onely call the Lords day the Sabbath day as once Sect. 38. 1. and twice Sect. 43. digress 46. 6. but hee also condemnes all profane sports and recreations on that day and among the rest dauncing for one And for this hee alledgeth the example of the Papists as the most notorious Sabbath-breakers in this kind A. Doth hee so Sir This seemes strange to me that so great a Clerke as Fr. VVhite should so farre forget himself as not to remember what his brother hath write Surely if it be so it will be a cooling card and no small disgrace to his Lo when so worthy and reverend a Brother shall be brought as a witnesse against him But I pray you for my better satisfaction relate to me the very passages and words of D. Iohn VVhite B. I will In Digress 46. the title whereofis Naming certain points of the Popish Religion which directly tend to the maintenance of open sinne and liberty of life Now among many fowle and profane practises as hee calls them this hee notes for one namely the profanation of the Sabbath in these words That they hold it lawfull on the Sabbath day to follow suits travell hunt DANCE keep faires and such like This is it that hath made Papists the most notorious Sabbath-breakers that live So hee And Sect. 38. n. 1. hee sayth Let it be observed if all disorders be not most in those parts among us where the people is most Pope-holy c. And for mine owne part having spent much of my time among them this I have found that in all excesse of sinne Papists have bene the ringleaders in riotous companies in drunken meetings in seditious assemblies and practises in profaning the Sabbath in quarrells and brawles in stage-playes Greenes Ales and all heathenish customes c. Thus this reverend Divine Candore notabilis ipso whom all the Iesuiticall smoke out of the bottomlesse pit cannot besweere or besumdge or dye blacke with all their black-mouthed obloquies A. Surely these are very pregnant passages And it makes me tremble to thinke and amazeth me how one White is so contrary to another as also how the Libertinisme dispensed now a dayes on the Sabbath tendeth to bring us Protestants to be like to the Papists in their profane times in taking up their heathenish savage and barbarous maners and customes B. Wee have all of us cause to lament what wee see and to feare yet more sinfull mischiefs to follow if they be not prevented A. I begin to blame my owne negligence I did not thinke that our Church and the Archbishops and Bishops themselves and K. Iames and others had so familiarly used to call the Lords day the Sabbath day And it seemeth that D. Wh. hath not well read over out owne Church Records how skillfull soever he professe himself to be in Antiquity tanquam in aliena republica 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or as
