A59693	Theses Sabbaticæ, or, The doctrine of the Sabbath wherein the Sabbaths I. Morality, II. Change, III. Beginning. IV. Sanctification, are clearly discussed, which were first handled more largely in sundry sermons in Cambridge in New-England in opening of the Fourth COmmandment : in unfolding whereof many scriptures are cleared, divers cases of conscience resolved, and the morall law as a rule of life to a believer, occasionally and distinctly handled / by Thomas Shepard ...

the_o western_a and_o more_o remote_a part_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v more_o powerful_o infect_v those_o in_o the_o east_n and_o they_o to_o gain_v or_o keep_v they_o may_v more_o ready_o comply_v with_o they_o let_v we_o therefore_o see_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o change_n from_o one_o seven_o unto_o another_o thesis_n 10._o the_o good_a will_n of_o he_o who_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o first_o efficient_a and_o primary_n cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o new_a sabbath_n but_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n mark_v 16.9_o be_v the_o secondary_a moral_a or_o move_a cause_n hereof_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n be_v christ_n joyful_a day_n for_o his_o people_n deliverance_n and_o the_o world_n restitution_n and_o new_a creation_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o lord_n christ_n appoint_v it_o and_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o publish_v it_o and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n observe_v it_o as_o their_o holy_a and_o joyful_a day_n of_o rest_n and_o consolation_n for_o some_o notable_a work_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o day_n be_v ever_o the_o moral_a cause_n of_o sanctify_v the_o day_n hence_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v finish_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v the_o most_o glorious_a work_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o wherein_o christ_n be_v fi●st_v most_o glorious_o manifest_v to_o have_v rest_v from_o it_o rom._n 1.4_o hence_o th●_n lord_n christ_n may_v have_v good_a cause_n to_o honour_v this_o day_n above_o all_o other_o and_o what_o other_o cause_n there_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o public_a solemn_a assembly_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n up●n_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n than_o this_o glorious_a work_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n upon_o the_o same_o day_n which_o begin_v their_o great_a joy_n for_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n be_v scarce_o imaginable_a thesis_n 11._o no_o action_n of_o christ_n do_v of_o itself_o sanctify_v any_o time_n for_o if_o it_o do_v why_o shall_v we_o not_o then_o keep_v as_o many_o holy_a day_n every_o year_n as_o we_o find_v holy_a action_n of_o christ_n record_v in_o scripture_n as_o the_o superstitious_a crew_n of_o blind_a papist_n do_v at_o this_o day_n but_o if_o god_n who_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o time_n shall_v sanctify_v any_o such_o day_n or_o time_n wherein_o any_o such_o action_n be_v do_v such_o a_o day_n than_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a and_o therefore_o if_o the_o will_n of_o god_n have_v sanctify_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n we_o may_v lawful_o sanctify_v the_o same_o day_n and_o therefore_o mr._n brabourne_n do_v we_o wrong_n as_o if_o we_o make_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n mere_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o change_n of_o this_o day_n thesis_n 12._o why_o the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v honour_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n as_o holy_a rather_o than_o any_o other_o day_n of_o his_o incarnation_n birth_n passion_n ascension_n it_o be_v this_o because_o christ_n rise_a day_n be_v his_o rest_a or_o sabbath_n day_n wherein_o he_o first_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n and_o whereon_o his_o rest_n begin_v for_o the_o sabbath_n or_o rest-day_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n only_o can_v be_v our_o rest-day_n according_a to_o the_o four_o commandment_n hence_o the_o day_n of_o god_n rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v only_o fit_a and_o capable_a of_o be_v our_o sabbath_n now_o the_o lord_n christ_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o incarnation_n and_o birth_n do_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n but_o rather_o make_v entrance_n into_o his_o labour_n and_o sorrow_n who_o then_o begin_v the_o wo●k_n of_o humiliation_n gal._n 4.4_o 5._o and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o passion_n he_o be_v then_o under_o the_o so●est_a part_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o labour_n ●n_o bitter_a agony_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o in_o the_o garden_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o none_o of_o those_o day_n be_v consecrate_v to_o be_v ou●_n sabbath_n or_o rest-daye_n which_o be_v day_n of_o christ_n labour_n and_o sorrow_n nor_o can_v the_o day_n of_o his_o ascension_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v make_v out_o sabbath_n because_o although_o christ_n then_o and_o thereby_o enter_v into_o his_o place_n of_o rest_n the_o three_o heaven_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o then_o make_v his_o first_o entrance_n into_o his_o estate_n of_o rest_n which_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o god_n do_v therefore_o choose_v this_o day_n above_o any_o other_o to_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n thesis_n 13._o those_o that_o go_v about_o as_o some_o of_o late_o have_v do_v to_o make_v christ_n ascension-day_n the_o ground_n of_o our_o sabbath-day_n have_v need_n be_v fearful_a leave_v they_o lose_v the_o truth_n and_o go_v beyond_o it_o while_o they_o affect_v some_o new_a discovery_n of_o it_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o case_n here_o for_o through_o christ_n at_o his_o ascension_n enter_v into_o his_o place_n of_o rest_n yet_o the_o place_n be_v but_o a_o accidental_a thing_n to_o christ_n rest_n itself_o the_o state_n of_o which_o be_v begin_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o prefer_v that_o which_o be_v but_o accidental_a above_o that_o which_o be_v most_o substantial_a or_o the_o day_n of_o entrance_n into_o the_o place_n of_o his_o rest_n in_o his_o ascension_n before_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n in_o his_o resurrection_n beside_o it_o be_v very_o uncertain_a whether_o christ_n ascend_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n we_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o arise_v then_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v build_v such_o a_o vast_a change_n upon_o a_o uncertainty_n i_o know_v not_o and_o yet_o suppose_v that_o by_o deduction_n and_o strength_n of_o wit_n ●t_z may_v be_v find_v out_o yet_o we_o see_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n express_o set_v it_o down_o viz._n that_o christ_n ascend_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o if_o he_o have_v intend_v to_o have_v make_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o christian_a sabbath_n he_o will_v sure_o have_v do_v the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o week_n be_v ever_o account_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o no_o other_o first_o day_n do_v we_o find_v mention_v on_o which_o he_o ascend_v but_o only_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o he_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a thesis_n 14._o and_o look_v as_o christ_n be_v a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n meritorious_o but_o not_o actual_o so_o he_o be_v also_o rise_v again_o in_o the_o like_a manner_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n meritorious_o but_o not_o actual_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o look_v as_o god_n the_o father_n actual_o institute_v no_o sabbath_n day_n until_o he_o have_v actual_o finish_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v change_v until_o christ_n jesus_n have_v actual_o finish_v and_o not_o meritorious_o only_a the_o work_n of_o redemption_n or_o restoration_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n before_o christ_n come_v might_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o sanctify_v that_o day_n which_o be_v institute_v upon_o the_o actual_a finish_n of_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o yet_o may_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o observe_v our_o christian_a sabbath_n the_o work_n of_o restoration_n and_o new_a creation_n and_o rest_n from_o it_o not_o be_v then_o so_o much_o as_o actual_o begin_v thesis_n 15._o whether_o our_o saviour_n appoint_v that_o first_o individual_a day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n to_o be_v the_o first_o christian_a sabbath_n be_v somewhat_o difficult_a to_o determine_v and_o i_o will_v not_o tie_v knot_n and_o leave_v they_o for_o other_o to_o unloose_v this_o only_a i_o aim_v at_o that_o although_o the_o first_o individual_a day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n shall_v not_o possible_o be_v the_o first_o individual_a sabbath_n yet_o still_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o one_o consideration_n dash_v all_o those_o device_n of_o some_o man_n head_n who_o puzzle_n their_o reader_n with_o many_o intricacy_n and_o difficulty_n in_o show_v that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n can_v not_o be_v the_o first_o sabbath_n and_o thence_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o inference_n be_v most_o false_a for_o it_o be_v easy_a with_o christ_n to_o make_v that_o great_a work_n on_o this_o day_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n

god_n be_v waste_v the_o land_n and_o burn_v down_o its_o glory_n for_o the_o sin_n against_o his_o sabbath_n that_o just_a at_o this_o time_n more_o than_o ever_o they_o shall_v rise_v up_o to_o pollute_v and_o profane_v this_o day_n the_o lord_n grant_v his_o poor_a people_n to_o see_v cause_n at_o last_o to_o mourn_v for_o this_o sin_n that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v be_v rest_n to_o their_o soul_n especial_o in_o this_o weary_a hour_n of_o temptation_n which_o be_v shake_v all_o thing_n and_o threaten_v yet_o great_a trouble_n unto_o all_o flesh_n the_o lord_n jesus_n

the_o cause_n they_o handle_v be_v no_o other_o in_o truth_n then_o to_o vindicate_v the_o sabbath_n both_o in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o observation_n of_o it_o from_o papist_n profaneness_n and_o
