A77209 An answer to M. Cawdry's two books of the Sabbath, lately come forth Wherein the author doth two things: 1. He vindicates himselfe from Mr Cawdrie's unfriendly abuse of him, in fathering upon him three texts of scripture, and three arguments deduced from them, to prove the perpetuity of the antient Sabbath, ... Wherein the author hath 1. Answered and confuted all that Mr. Cawdry hath wrote to corrupt the sense and meaning of the Commandement. 2. He hath restored the antient, genuine, and proper sense of the Commandement: and confirmed it by sundry undeniable arguments. By Theophilus Brabourne. Brabourne, Theophilus, b. 1590. 1654 (1654) Wing B4088; ESTC R229562 39,309 117

10_o 8_o etc._n etc._n 2._o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o commandment_n and_o in_o the_o very_a same_o word_n god_n shall_v appoint_v both_o a_o jewish_a and_o a_o

deut_n 12._o it_o be_v command_v only_o in_o general_a or_o indefinite_o not_o name_v any_o particular_a place_n and_o so_o both_o tabernacle_n and_o temple_n be_v indirect_o command_v as_o by_o

when_o we_o read_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n exod._n 20.8_o and_o read_v again_o in_o the_o same_o four_o commandment_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n exod._n 20.10_o we_o must_v

of_o a_o seven_o day_n indefinite_o or_o of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o the_o first_o absurdity_n if_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o may_v understand_v a_o sabbath_n

furthermore_o and_o if_o both_o day_n be_v keep_v by_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o this_o much_o more_o absurd_a so_o far_o of_o the_o first_o absurdity_n the_o second_o absurdity_n if_o

so_o far_o of_o this_o three_o absurdity_n the_o four_o absurdity_n to_o expound_v the_o four_o commandment_n for_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v absurd_a because_o we_o have_v but_o one_o day_n of_o

be_v the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o ordinall_n number_n seven_o which_o signify_v not_o only_o one_o of_o seven_o but_o more_o as_o the_o l●st_o of_o seven_o and_o that_o single_a one_o which_o follow_v the_o six_o dry_v labour_n and_o why_o will_v he_o instead_o of_o this_o bring_v in_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o indefinite_o his_o tacit_a reason_n i_o believe_v be_v this_o that_o have_v no_o precept_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o none_o but_o poor_a probable_a reason_n ab_fw-la exemplo_fw-la therefore_o he_o will_v fain_o incorporate_v the_o lord_n day_n into_o the_o four_o commandment_n to_o strengthen_v it_o so_o it_o have_v no_o leg_n of_o its_o own_o to_o stand_v on_o he_o will_v be_v so_o friendly_a to_o it_o as_o to_o borrow_v a_o pair_n of_o leg_n from_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o then_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o delude_a multitude_n as_o for_o his_o argument_n ab_fw-la exemplo_fw-la from_o example_n as_o be_v the_o suppose_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n however_o it_o go_v current_a in_o the_o pulpit_n yet_o sir_n if_o you_o know_v it_o not_o let_v i_o inform_v you_o that_o a_o argument_n ab_fw-la exemplo_fw-la in_o disputation_n be_v next_o unto_o nothing_o try_v it_o when_o you_o will_n for_o my_o part_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v
because_o so_o it_o may_v extend_v to_o we_o gentile_n also_o i_o pray_v sir_n why_o may_v not_o the_o seven_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n extend_v to_o we_o gentile_n as_o well_o as_o any_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o but_o you_o think_v sir_n that_o it_o be_v both_o uncertain_a whether_o the_o jew_n do_v precise_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n or_o not_o and_o that_o in_o some_o case_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v keep_v i_o answer_v 1._o it_o matter_n not_o whether_o it_o be_v certain_a or_o not_o that_o the_o jew_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o we_o dispute_v not_o the_o facto_fw-la but_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la of_o what_o they_o do_v do_v but_o of_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v 2._o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o the_o jew_n keep_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o that_o they_o keep_v your_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o as_o for_o the_o impossibility_n of_o their_o keep_n it_o because_o once_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o joshuah_n time_n to_o this_o i_o say_v this_o stand_v still_o of_o the_o sun_n m●de_v that_o day_n a_o long_a day_n than_o any_o other_o day_n of_o that_o week_n but_o not_o another_o day_n as_o if_o it_o stand_v still_o on_o

ground_n of_o this_o error_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o they_o think_v when_o god_n command_v the_o sabbath_n day_n at_o mount_n sinai_n he_o intend_v that_o whithersoever_o his_o people_n travel_v their_o sabbath_n must_v begin_v at_o the_o very_a same_o point_n of_o time_n that_o it_o begin_v at_o mount_n sinai_n the_o which_o be_v impossible_a and_o so_o god_n shall_v command_v his_o people_n

signify_v the_o time_n of_o light_n gen._n 1.5_o god_n call_v the_o light_a day_n and_o so_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o seven_o light_n now_o when_o the_o seven_o light_n begin_v in_o every_o

the_o four_o commandment_n do_v more_o direct_o command_v the_o seven_o day_n than_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o but_o god_n intend_v that_o the_o jew_n shall_v rather_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n
