A17418	The doctrine of the Sabbath vindicated in a confutation of a treatise of the Sabbath, written by M. Edward Breerwood against M. Nic. Byfield, wherein these five things are maintained: first, that the fourth Commandement is given to the servant and not to the master onely. Seecondly, that the fourth Commandement is morall. Thirdly, that our owne light workes as well as gainefull and toilesome are forbidden on the Sabbath. Fourthly, that the Lords day is of divine institution. Fifthly, that the Sabbath was instituted from the beginning. By the industrie of an unworthy labourer in Gods vineyard, Richard Byfield, pastor in Long Ditton in Surrey.	Byfield, Richard, 1598?-1664.	1631 (1631)	STC 4238; ESTC S107155	139,589	186

to_o impose_v it_o on_o servant_n and_o child_n also_o it_o be_v more_o wisdom_n and_o equity_n to_o do_v the_o one_o you_o say_v be_v it_o therefore_o against_o wisdom_n and_o equity_n to_o do_v the_o other_o also_o if_o the_o first_o be_v more_o equal_a and_o wise_a the_o second_o join_v to_o the_o first_o be_v of_o equity_n and_o wisdom_n and_o no_o rashness_n nor_o iniquity_n as_o you_o lavish_o term_v it_o it_o be_v give_v to_o master_n for_o their_o servant_n you_o say_v and_o right_o be_v it_o therefore_o not_o intend_v to_o oblige_v servant_n also_o we_o grant_v it_o be_v more_o
