A07919	The suruey of popery vvherein the reader may cleerely behold, not onely the originall and daily incrementes of papistrie, with an euident confutation of the same; but also a succinct and profitable enarration of the state of Gods Church from Adam vntill Christs ascension, contained in the first and second part thereof: and throughout the third part poperie is turned vp-side downe.

with_o all_o popish_a recusant_n never_o to_o pay_v their_o debt_n to_o loyal_a christian_n subject_n this_o assertion_n because_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o good_a christian_n ear_n can_v but_o be_v

what_o land_n and_o good_n soever_o from_o all_o such_o as_o will_v not_o yield_v themselves_o captive_n to_o the_o brutish_a bondage_n of_o popery_n hereof_o it_o come_v first_o that_o so_o many_o this_o day_n make_v conscience_n to_o be_v absent_a from_o divine_a service_n in_o the_o church_n who_o have_v no_o conscience_n at_o all_o to_o pay_v their_o debt_n hereupon_o it_o come_v secondlie_o that_o many_o repute_v it_o deadly_a sin_n once_o to_o hear_v a_o godly_a sermon_n who_o think_v it_o no_o sin_n at_o all_o to_o owe_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o never_o to_o pay_v the_o same_o hereupon_o it_o come_v thirdlie_o that_o sundry_a recusant_n have_v so_o intayled_a their_o land_n and_o so_o fraudulent_o away_o their_o good_n and_o that_o of_o late_a year_n as_o no_o law_n

can_v never_o brook_v but_o so_o soon_o as_o i_o understand_v it_o do_v sharp_o impugn_v the_o same_o the_o mediate_a external_a sabbath_n be_v that_o which_o god_n appoint_v mediate_o by_o his_o church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o wit_n the_o sunday_n which_o be_v our_o christian_n sabbath_n and_o here_o observe_v that_o when_o i_o say_v by_o the_o church_n i_o special_o understand_v the_o supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n much_o less_o do_v i_o exclude_v the_o same_o which_o observation_n shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a before_o the_o end_n of_o my_o discourse_n and_o because_o no_o verity_n do_v clear_o appear_v until_o the_o difficulty_n and_o doubt_n be_v plain_o unfold_v i_o will_v propound_v in_o order_n the_o great_a objection_n that_o can_v be_v make_v against_o the_o same_o frame_v brief_a pithy_a and_o evident_a solution_n thereunto_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o sabbatharies_n contend_v with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n that_o christian_n be_v no_o less_o bind_v this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n than_o be_v the_o israelite_n in_o time_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o 3_o because_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o which_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o commandment_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o declaration_n make_v by_o moses_n again_o because_o this_o sanctification_n be_v forthwith_o after_o the_o creation_n and_o therefore_o as_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n so_o must_v all_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o israelite_n keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o rest_n after_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v our_o saturday_n and_o upon_o which_o day_n the_o jew_n still_o keep_v their_o sabbath_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o either_o the_o gentile_n then_o or_o christian_n now_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o legal_a sabbath_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n have_v keep_v it_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o ensample_n this_o day_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o offer_v up_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o do_v both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o deluge_n the_o second_o objection_n god_n speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n between_o he_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o add_v 17_o for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n rest_v therefore_o all_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o word_n ever_o be_v not_o take_v there_o simpliciter_fw-la but_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v it_o that_o be_v not_o for_o eternity_n or_o for_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o life_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n from_o moses_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v 1495._o year_n i_o say_v second_o that_o though_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o eternal_a as_o it_o be_v ceremonial_a which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o yet_o be_v it_o eternal_a in_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o be_v cease_v from_o sin_n and_o rest_n in_o god_n which_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o heaven_n for_o evermore_o the_o three_o objection_n the_o decalogue_n be_v before_o moses_n and_o this_o day_n be_v of_o force_n 1._o for_o the_o gentile_n be_v bind_v before_o the_o promulgation_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o we_o christian_n after_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o law_n to_o abstain_v from_o blasphemy_n perjury_n theft_n murder_n whoredom_n covetousness_n fraudulent_a deal_n and_o the_o like_a as_o be_v the_o jew_n in_o time_n of_o the_o law_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o whereas_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v partly_o judicial_a partly_o ceremonial_a and_o partly_o moral_a the_o moral_a part_n be_v the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n engrave_v in_o man_n heart_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o their_o nativity_n as_o it_o be_v before_o moses_n so_o shall_v it_o endure_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o all_o ceremony_n which_o be_v type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o promise_v make_v in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v accomplish_v and_o abolish_v in_o his_o sacred_a advent_n such_o be_v the_o circumcision_n give_v to_o abraham_n the_o sacrifice_n command_v to_o our_o first_o father_n and_o the_o sabbath_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o determination_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n figura_fw-la for_o it_o be_v not_o god_n will_v to_o continue_v shadow_n after_o the_o thing_n indeed_o be_v exhibit_v the_o four_o objection_n a_o perpetual_a cause_n require_v a_o perpetual_a law_n and_o consequent_o since_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o meditation_n of_o god_n work_n be_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v still_o abide_v in_o force_n the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v indeed_o a_o perpetual_a cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n but_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a precise_a and_o determinate_a sabbath_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o memory_n of_o our_o creation_n may_v be_v do_v as_o convenient_o upon_o another_o day_n as_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n thus_o my_o answer_n be_v confirm_v because_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o now_o keep_v be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o the_o eight_o for_o our_o sunday_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n

and_o the_o day_n on_o which_o god_n begin_v the_o creation_n of_o every_o thing_n the_o first_o objection_n we_o christian_n observe_v the_o first_o day_n after_o the_o sabbath_n which_o we_o call_v sunday_n be_v charge_v odious_o with_o superstition_n by_o the_o wicked_a anabaptist_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o by_o s._n paul_n who_o forbid_v the_o difference_n of_o day_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n upon_o which_o prohibition_n it_o follow_v 6_o that_o it_o be_v as_o unlawful_a to_o keep_v the_o first_o day_n as_o the_o seven_o the_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n exclaim_v not_o against_o every_o difference_n of_o day_n simple_o but_o against_o that_o sole_a and_o only_a difference_n which_o be_v observe_v with_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n or_o worship_n after_o which_o manner_n our_o christian_n sabbath_n or_o sunday_n be_v not_o observe_v for_o first_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o old_a sabbath_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v accomplish_v by_o christ_n yet_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o new_a sabbath_n have_v not_o that_o signification_n but_o be_v only_o observe_v for_o decency_n and_o comely_a order_n sake_n without_o which_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n either_o can_v be_v at_o all_o or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o convenient_o second_o the_o jew_n observe_v their_o sabbath_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n divine_a worship_n neither_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o change_v and_o alter_v the_o same_o but_o we_o christian_n who_o abhor_v judaisme_n indeed_o keep_v our_o sabbath_n day_n not_o as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n but_o for_o civil_a order_n sake_n not_o with_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n but_o with_o such_o christian_n freedom_n as_o we_o confess_v it_o may_v be_v change_v into_o another_o day_n and_o because_o this_o liberty_n grant_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v not_o sufficient_o understand_v of_o many_o whereof_o some_o be_v otherwise_o well_o learned_a i_o purpose_v in_o god_n to_o prove_v the_o same_o effectual_o first_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n second_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o antiquity_n three_o by_o the_o latter_a writer_n touch_v the_o scripture_n my_o first_o reason_n shall_v be_v affirmative_a my_o second_o shall_v be_v negative_a the_o affirmative_a be_v this_o whatsoever_o be_v abolish_v do_v not_o bind_v we_o christian_n but_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v abolish_v therefore_o it_o do_v not_o bind_v us._n the_o argument_n be_v in_o form_n the_o proposition_n be_v evident_a because_o a_o obligation_n cancel_v be_v not_o of_o force_n and_o the_o assumption_n wherein_o rest_v the_o difficulty_n if_o there_o be_v any_o at_o all_o 12._o be_v prove_v by_o s._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n where_o he_o avouch_v express_o y_o it_o the_o law_n must_v perforce_o be_v change_v with_o the_o priesthood_n neither_o will_v it_o help_v to_o say_v point_n that_o we_o keep_v a_o day_n different_a from_o the_o jew_n mark_v well_o my_o word_n gentl_n reader_n because_o if_o we_o keep_v our_o day_n with_o necessity_n of_o the_o day_n so_o as_o it_o may_v not_o be_v alter_v into_o another_o day_n 16_o than_o such_o our_o observation_n of_o day_n be_v reprove_v to_o the_o colossian_n and_o be_v become_v a_o flat_a ceremony_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n for_o this_o strict_a point_n tempori_fw-la obligari_fw-la to_o be_v tie_v to_o determine_v time_n be_v that_o only_a circumstance_n or_o ceremony_n wherein_o the_o jewish_a sabbaoth_n differ_v from_o we_o which_o point_n i_o hope_v will_v short_o be_v more_o evident_a my_o negative_a reason_n be_v this_o no_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n either_o in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n can_v be_v allege_v which_o command_v to_o keep_v our_o christian_n sabbaoth_n either_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n or_o upon_o any_o other_o determinate_a day_n therefore_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n to_o change_v that_o day_n as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n &_o person_n shall_v require_v the_o consequence_n be_v good_a and_o so_o the_o consequent_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o command_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o appoint_v by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n all_o that_o may_v be_v alter_v even_o by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n the_o antecedent_n i_o prove_v sundry_a way_n first_o because_o the_o place_n of_o scripture_n cite_v for_o this_o purpose_n neither_o do_v nor_o can_v prove_v any_o such_o thing_n for_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 16.2_o will_n only_o that_o collection_n be_v make_v for_o the_o poor_a when_o the_o congregation_n be_v assemble_v on_o some_o sabbath_n day_n but_o he_o neither_o command_v christian_n to_o observe_v the_o first_o day_n after_o the_o sabbaoth_v neither_o yet_o do_v he_o affirm_v that_o christian_n then_o keep_v their_o assembly_n upon_o that_o day_n yea_o the_o learned_a and_o zealous_a writer_n master_n caluin_n deni_v flat_o that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v either_o signify_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n or_o the_o sunday_n he_o oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o patroness_n of_o that_o opinion_n and_o say_v flat_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v at_o that_o time_n keep_v the_o jewish_a sabbaoth_n 1.10_o and_o that_o of_o the_o revelation_n proove_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o s._n john_n have_v his_o revelation_n upon_o the_o day_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n but_o saint_n john_n neither_o say_v that_o christian_n must_v observe_v that_o day_n for_o their_o sabbaoth_n neither_o yet_o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o same_o 16.8_o which_o thing_n both_o petrus_n martyr_n and_o erasmus_n do_v willing_o grant_v yea_o erasmus_n avouch_v that_o the_o christian_n penticost_n be_v not_o yet_o ordain_v and_o therefore_o do_v he_o by_o penticost_n in_o that_o place_n understand_v saint_n paul_n abode_n at_o ephesus_n to_o be_v 50_o day_n caluine_n and_o martyr_n understand_v the_o jewish_a pentecost_n proper_o because_o the_o christian_n pentecost_n be_v not_o yet_o appoint_v i_o prove_v it_o second_o because_o if_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o christian_n sabaoth_v have_v be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o appoint_v by_o the_o apostle_n then_o will_v there_o not_o have_v be_v such_o controversy_n about_o that_o matter_n as_o be_v in_o the_o est_fw-la and_o west_n church_n long_o after_o the_o apostle_n time_n which_o thing_n i_o have_v show_v at_o large_a in_o my_o book_n of_o motive_n three_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n than_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n upon_o the_o first_o day_n yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o christian_n must_v of_o necessity_n this_o day_n observe_v the_o same_o which_o i_o will_v make_v good_a by_o sundry_a important_a reason_n first_o because_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o very_a institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n do_v minister_v the_o same_o after_o supper_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o we_o tie_v to_o that_o practice_n but_o do_v it_o before_o dinner_n now_o since_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n himself_o do_v not_o make_v a_o law_n to_o be_v keep_v of_o necessity_n much_o less_o can_v the_o practice_n of_o his_o disciple_n impose_v such_o a_o law_n upon_o us._n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v their_o sabbath_n upon_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n as_o this_o day_n we_o observe_v and_o that_o very_o laudable_o yet_o may_v we_o for_o our_o christian_n liberty_n alter_v the_o day_n and_o keep_v it_o upon_o another_o second_o because_o christ_n celebrate_v the_o holy_a communion_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n in_o sweet_a and_o unleavened_a bread_n 19_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o practice_n the_o greek_a church_n do_v ever_o and_o we_o ourselves_o in_o these_o day_n use_v leaven_a bread_n even_o so_o may_v we_o keep_v our_o sabaoth_n upon_o tuesday_n or_o upon_o some_o other_o day_n if_o it_o so_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o church_n albeit_o the_o apostle_n keep_v it_o upon_o the_o monday_n three_o because_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o their_o time_n 6.20_o decree_v to_o abstain_v from_o eat_v of_o blood_n and_o yet_o do_v we_o this_o day_n without_o
