A96885	Christ-mas day, the old heathens feasting day, in honour to Saturn their idol-god. The Papists massing day. The prophane mans ranting day. The superstitious mans idol day. The multitudes idle day. Whereon, because they cannot do nothing: they do worse then nothing. Satans, that adversaries working-day. The true Christian mans fasting-day. Taking to heart, the heathenish customes, Popish superstitions, ranting fashions, fearful provocations, horrible abhominations committed against the Lord, and His Christ, on that day, and days following.	Woodward, Ezekias, 1590-1675.	1656 (1656)	Wing W3482; Thomason E868_3; ESTC R207652	24,177	32

that in all this we do not more obey man then God The State we mean our Ruler or Rulers there may and ought appoint a set and stated day whereon to afflict our soules before God and a day also whereon to rejoyce before him But then they must eye and ●bserve well Gods providence call●ng them forth to all this And so here humbly to give our opinion being called f●rth unto it and pe●●wasion in this matter we are perswaded that our excellent Burroughs was right in this thing That no Christian State should appoint a day once every yeare much lesse once a month to be a fasting day or a feasting day and he gives his reason because they do not know bu● God may call them to rejoycing upon that day which they have appointed for mourning All that the Rulers can do is this when God calleth to fasting they must appoint dayes of fasting and when God calls to rejoycing they must appoint dayes of rejoycing Quest Why then is not for we must tell you that we have Sect. 2. heard to justifie the observation of this f●stival day the five and twentieth of December rightly appointed by man and to bee observed by us thereon to give thanks to God the Father for the marvelous R●d●mp●ion wrought for us by his Son Christ Jesus the Lord I● is alwayes seasonable to give thanks to God for this unspeakable gift and wonderful Salvation wrought by him Is it not Answ 1. It is so But why o●ce in the year which is seasonable yea r●quired of us as we shall hear presently every day do we put no difference betwixt a temporal Saviour as Joshuah was and all those Saviours were and now are which the Lord hath caused to come up on mount Zion to jude the mount of Esau and him that is the Eternal Saviour and everlasting Redeemer no difference betwixt these though the difference be as great as is betwixt the Creature and the Creator in whose strength of hand the Crea●u●e moves and doth all and being laid out of that hand it moves no more then an inst●ument can that is laid out of our hand and now hangs up by the wall All our prayers for our Saviours hands that they may be sufficient for them will prevail nothing unlesse we pray this may be added And be thou an help to them D●ut 33. 7. No difference then betwixt men-Saviours and the Lord God the Salvation of his people upon which bottom God builds up as we may have leave to say all the piles and stories of Salvation What ●o difference betwixt the Salvation of our bodies and outward man and the concernments hereof and the Salvation of ou● Eternal Soules surely the people of God the redeemed of the Lord discern a marvelous difference here and accordingly they behave themselves as to these matters not keeping a day once a yeare for a memoral of these things Answ 2. We say That this is an high presumption to appoint a day once in the year whereon to honour the Son as if man were more regard●ul of the Sons honour then the Father is though he hath commanded that all men should honour the John 5. 23. Son even as they honour the Father Now to doe more then is commanded is as displeasing unto God as to do lesse The Father was honoured by the observation of one day returning once a week whereon his people made his name glorious for the work of Creation And hath appointed his Son to be honoured w●th a day also wherein his people sing the high praises of their God for the glorious work of Redemption making all new Heavens and Earth and all Yea but this is not enough saith presumptious man the Son shall have two dayes the one returning once a week the other once in the year if this be not the highest presumption what is Be we at the allowance of the onely wise God he is all sufficient to provide for his Sons honour and for his Churches honor † 1. too Sons and Daughters adopted in him they shall have a day a stated day return unto them once a week whereon to record the whole hum●liation of Christ his incarnation sorrowfull life cursed death his Resurrection also with his Ascension and Intercession for is Christ divided or have we need of a part and not of the whole we must not parcel out his Redemption wrought for us taking it out by pieces and appoint one day for a memorial of his birth another of his death a third of his resurrecti●n No there is one day appointed for all this to be a memorial of all together the day of his Resurection appointed by God as the old Sabbath wa● to be a sign betwixt the Lord and his people That he is the Lord God that sanctified them affording unto them the means of Sanctification in his Son preached on that stated day wherein we are to sanctifie a Rest that we may attend upon God in the Conscionable use of means for our sanctification whose will and work it is And s●e yet farther how the Father hath provided for his † 2. Sons honour he hath not onely appointed a day wherein by his Herolds to proclaim him to the world and salvation by him but also thus th● Father hath appointed That whensoever we call him Father we must call his Son Lord and through him and his Mediat●on have accesse unto him and acceptance with him So then whensoever we come unto God praying for the supply of what we want as we are still wanting or praising him for what we have we must make hearty mention of the Lord Christ Epist 2. 18. 3. 12. 5. 20. Col. 3. 17. 1 Pet. 1. 21. here or else all is vain every time we come to God we tender up a Mediatour to him else we can have nothing from him but wrath and vengeance O its terrible saith you know who to think of God out of Christ Therefore saith Luther upon Psal 130. I inculcate this to my Hearers that they should shut their eyes and their ears and say we know no God out of Christ nor do we expect the least crumb of mercy but through him and for his sake So now sith in seeking he ●ace of our God the great King we must take up his Son in the a●m of our ●aith to allude to that know● story else we shall ●ev●r ●●e●●s face We have dayly if not hou●ly cause to make m●●●ion of him And besides all this we have a stated day returning ●nce a week whereon we may hear a voice from Heaven the voice of Christ in the Gospel and the voice of the Father again Hear Him It is presumption John 5. 25. Eph. 5. 12. then that reaches to Heaven to appoint a day of our own whereon to celebrate the memorial of all this But now suppose in the last place any of us did as devou●ly serve God and his Christ on that day as the most of the
