A90715	The lawfulness of the celebration of Christs birth-day debated, in case it be annnally [sic] known or not known. Discussed by Scripture, and consequence of Scripture; and many objections answered, and refuted by reasons. By George Palmer, wel-willer to a particular and solemn joyous-thankfulness to God, for his several special mercies in Christ; by way of gradation.	Palmer, George, b. 1596 or 7.	1648 (1648)	Wing P228; Thomason E476_10; ESTC R204341	11,240	16

birth_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v very_o high_o by_o they_o then_o live_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o be_v to_o rejoice_v for_o that_o great_a blessing_n of_o god_n that_o same_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n so_o many_o as_o can_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o day_n no_o man_n will_v deny_v this_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n unless_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o diabolical_a spirit_n and_o also_o that_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v much_o esteem_v by_o all_o those_o that_o at_o any_o time_n afterwards_o do_v trust_n for_o salvation_n by_o he_o as_o it_o be_v by_o they_o that_o live_v at_o that_o time_n and_o so_o rejoice_v in_o it_o but_o a_o question_n be_v make_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v celebrate_v annual_o and_o solemn_o with_o such_o joy_n for_o ever_o after_o if_o in_o case_n his_o birthday_n be_v know_v to_o we_o now_o as_o it_o be_v to_o they_o then_o or_o whether_o that_o incitation_n give_v by_o the_o angel_n to_o the_o shepherd_n belong_v to_o we_o christian_n successive_o and_o annual_o or_o no_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o concern_v we_o now_o as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v those_o shepherd_n and_o other_o then_o live_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o for_o the_o chief_a reason_n or_o cause_n of_o their_o joy_n at_o his_o birth_n be_v from_o the_o benefit_n which_o by_o and_o from_o he_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v who_o then_o and_o at_o that_o time_n be_v new_o bear_v and_o we_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o do_v obtain_v the_o same_o benefit_n by_o his_o birth_n as_o they_o do_v that_o then_o rejoice_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v command_v in_o express_a word_n successive_o but_o some_o object_n far_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o keep_v any_o day_n successive_o and_o annual_o for_o the_o remembrance_n and_o solemn_a thanksgiving_n for_o any_o special_a benefit_n receive_v they_o then_o be_v enjoin_v to_o do_v it_o by_o god_n special_a command_n successive_o and_o annual_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v plain_o that_o those_o benefit_n do_v concern_v they_o in_o some_o temporal_a deliverance_n and_o be_v for_o that_o particular_a people_n only_o or_o chief_o at_o the_o most_o as_o the_o israelite_n deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o their_o deliverance_n from_o a_o intend_a slaughter_n in_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n hester_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o birth_n of_o christ_n concern_v all_o believer_n in_o all_o place_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o so_o say_v the_o angel_n behold_v i_o bring_v you_o good_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n that_o shall_v be_v to_o all_o people_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o believer_n in_o christ_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o belong_v to_o all_o believer_n in_o christ_n to_o rejoice_v for_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o to_o rejoice_v that_o be_v then_o live_v for_o the_o message_n be_v belong_v to_o we_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v to_o they_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o good_a tiding_n belong_v to_o all_o people_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o believer_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o angel_n require_v our_o great_a attention_n and_o admiration_n by_o this_o word_n behold_v behold_v i_o bring_v you_o good_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n that_o shall_v be_v to_o all_o people_n for_o unto_o you_o be_v bear_v this_o day_n etc._n etc._n a_o saviour_n which_o be_v christ_n the_o lord_n and_o we_o read_v of_o no_o command_n from_o god_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o new-purim_n but_o it_o be_v note_v as_o well_o do_v by_o they_o etc._n etc._n and_o that_o it_o ought_v annual_o to_o be_v celebrate_v with_o joy_n we_o may_v collect_v far_o by_o reason_n that_o it_o ought_v so_o to_o be_v for_o if_o great_a temporal_a deliverance_n deserve_v annual_a thanks-giving_n on_o some_o special_a day_n then_o do_v a_o everlasting_a deliverance_n from_o damnation_n deserve_v much_o more_o such_o manner_n of_o thanks_o but_o it_o be_v far_a object_v that_o all_o believer_n in_o christ_n do_v give_v thanks_o for_o that_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n as_o they_o do_v for_o all_o other_o his_o benefit_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o special_a and_o upon_o all_o ordinary_a occasion_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v thus_o so_o be_v the_o jew_n to_o do_v upon_o their_o sabbath_n for_o all_o their_o temporal_a deliverance_n as_o for_o their_o deliverance_n from_o egyptian_a bondage_n and_o haman_n decree_n of_o their_o death_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v their_o feast_n of_o passover_n and_o purim_n to_o commemorate_v those_o deliverance_n more_o special_o and_o we_o have_v special_a day_n set_v apart_o for_o we_o to_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o spanish_a invasion_n and_o the_o gunpowder_n treason_n and_o also_o for_o many_o deliverance_n from_o divers_a great_a danger_n in_o these_o our_o time_n of_o war_n but_o it_o be_v object_v again_o that_o we_o do_v not_o know_v certain_o what_o day_n in_o our_o year_n christ_n birthday_n can_v be_v celebrate_v as_o the_o right_a and_o true_a annual_a day_n it_o be_v not_o certain_o know_v or_o at_o the_o least_o it_o be_v question_v by_o many_o learned_a christian_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o matter_n whether_o we_o know_v strict_o the_o day_n or_o no_o so_o as_o we_o do_v solemnize_v one_o day_n thankful_o so_o near_o the_o true_a day_n as_o we_o can_v guess_v for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n we_o shall_v be_v accept_v for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n accept_v the_o willing_a mind_n of_o his_o child_n for_o the_o deed_n which_o endeavour_v to_o perform_v according_a to_o their_o knowledge_n second_o if_o in_o case_n we_o do_v know_v the_o day_n strict_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o keep_v it_o upon_o that_o day_n always_o 〈◊〉_d for_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o keep_v their_o purim_n upon_o the_o same_o day_n of_o the_o year_n wherein_o their_o deliverance_n be_v give_v they_o but_o as_o on_o the_o next_o day_n after_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o book_n of_o esther_n the_o nine_o chapter_n and_o the_o sixteen_o verse_n to_o the_o two_o and_o twenty_o and_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o do_v excuse_v david_n for_o eat_v the_o showbread_n in_o his_o great_a necessity_n and_o he_o excuse_v his_o own_o disciple_n for_o pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n etc._n etc._n upon_o their_o necessity_n and_o therein_o be_v the_o ancient_a proverb_n verify_v viz._n necessity_n have_v no_o law_n we_o be_v necessitate_v to_o observe_v a_o day_n near_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n birth_n and_o the_o passover_n be_v to_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o first_o month_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o exodus_fw-la 12._o 2_o 3._o etc._n etc._n nevertheless_o if_o you_o look_v in_o 2_o chron._n 30._o 2_o 3._o compare_v with_o verse_n the_o 13._o and_o 15._o you_o may_v there_o find_v that_o hezekiah_n and_o his_o people_n keep_v it_o at_o that_o time_n in_o the_o second_o month_n contrary_a to_o the_o institution_n in_o that_o particular_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v there_o render_v viz._n that_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v it_o at_o that_o time_n in_o the_o first_o month_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n too_o as_o in_o the_o 20._o verse_n you_o may_v see_v and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n now_o quote_v that_o hezekiah_n pray_v for_o the_o people_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n heal_v they_o which_o imply_v that_o god_n be_v offend_v with_o they_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v for_o their_o not_o prepare_v themselves_o better_a when_o they_o do_v come_v as_o in_o the_o 18._o verse_n you_o may_v see_v for_o they_o come_v unprepared_o to_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n if_o it_o be_v question_v whether_o we_o may_v keep_v it_o festival_o or_o not_o i_o answer_v we_o may_v and_o aught_o so_o to_o do_v though_o not_o in_o excess_n thereof_o but_o first_o we_o be_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o public_a ordinance_n as_o the_o preach_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o in_o godly_a prayer_n and_o praise_n etc._n etc._n and_o after_o that_o in_o plentiful_a feast_n and_o give_v gift_n to_o the_o poor_a according_a to_o our_o several_a ability_n for_o though_o fast_v be_v for_o mourner_n yet_o feast_v be_v for_o joy_n and_o mirth_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 8._o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o nehemiah_n the_o former_a part_n of_o that_o chapter_n to_o the_o 13_o verse_n these_o be_v those_o word_n eat_v the_o fat_a and_o drink_v the_o sweet_a and_o send_v portion_n to_o those_o for_o who_o
