A55487	Sabbatum. The mystery of the Sabbath discovered Wherein the doctrine of the Sabbath according to the Scriptures, and the primitive church, is declared. The Sabbath moral, and ceremonial are described, and differenced. What the rest of God signified, and wherein it consisted. The fourth commandment expounded. What part of the fourth commandment is moral, and what therein is ceremonial. Something (occasionally) concerning the Christian Sunday. By Edm. Porter, B.D. sometime fellow of St John's Colledge in Cambridge, and Prebend of Norwich.	Porter, Edmund, 1595-1670.	1658 (1658)	Wing P2984; ESTC R218328	143,641	276

because_o man_n be_v now_o real_o renew_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n have_v enlighten_v we_o we_o need_v not_o the_o dark_a shadowy_a type_n of_o moonlight_n
