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

2_o tim._n 3.2.3_o last_o as_o the_o weekly_a rest_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n ground_v upon_o the_o obscure_a promise_n of_o christ_n be_v command_v by_o god_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o

of_o their_o sin_n and_o satan_n temptation_n as_o we_o read_v that_o job_n do_v cap._n 16.21_o and_o 19.25_o so_o now_o it_o be_v much_o more_o useful_a to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o seek_v to_o
