A14653	The doctrine of the Sabbath Wherein the first institution of the vveekly Sabbath, with the time thereof, the nature of the law binding man to keep it, the true ground, and necessity of the first institution, and of the observation of it, on the severall day in the Old Testament, and also of the moving of it to the first day under the Gospel, are laid open and proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Also besides the speciall dueties necessarily required for the due sanctification thereof, those two profitable points are proved by demonstrations out of Gods Word. First, that the Lord Christ God and man, is the Lord of the Sabbath, on whom the Sabbath was first founded...2. That the faithfull under the Gospell are as necessarily bound to keep the weekly Sabbath of the Lords day... Deliverd in divers sermons by George Walker B. of Divinity and pastor of St. Iohn Evangelists Church in London.	Walker, George, 1581?-1651.	1638 (1638)	STC 24957; ESTC S103296	151,861	168

this_o law_n to_o be_v natural_o write_v in_o man_n heart_n do_v much_o differ_v &_o be_v divide_v into_o two_o opinion_n the_o one_o sort_n hold_v the_o law_n to_o be_v whole_o natural_a and_o

beginnning_n of_o the_o creation_n thus_o do_v judaizing_a christian_n hold_v who_o profess_v christian_a religion_n but_o reject_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o embrace_n and_o cleave_v to_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n the_o other_o sort_n do_v hold_v that_o there_o be_v a_o three_o foul_a use_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 1._o religious_a and_o holy_a which_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o holy_a &_o religious_a duty_n 2._o political_a or_o civil_a which_o be_v rest_n from_o worldly_a weariesom_a labour_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n 3._o ceremonial_a or_o sacramental_a which_o be_v a_o signification_n and_o shadow_v of_o spiritual_a rest_n in_o christ._n that_o in_o the_o two_o first_o respect_n the_o law_n be_v natural_a immortal_a and_o perpetual_a and_o that_o nature_n require_v that_o a_o seven_o day_n of_o every_o week_n shall_v be_v for_o rest_n and_o refresh_v and_o for_o holy_a exercise_n of_o religion_n they_o all_o affirm_v and_o because_o the_o seven_o and_o

the_o signify_v &_o shadow_v forth_o of_o spiritual_a rest_n in_o christ_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o fit_a of_o all_o &_o god_n people_n be_v by_o god_n law_n bind_v to_o observe_v it_o for_o

the_o resurrection_n the_o sign_n and_o ceremony_n of_o christ_n rest_n be_v fulfil_v the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o same_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v one_o in_o seven_o until_o the_o eternal_a sabbath_n and_o rest_n in_o heaven_n unto_o which_o christ_n will_v bring_v all_o his_o
