A55487	Sabbatum. The mystery of the Sabbath discovered Wherein the doctrine of the Sabbath according to the Scriptures, and the primitive church, is declared. The Sabbath moral, and ceremonial are described, and differenced. What the rest of God signified, and wherein it consisted. The fourth commandment expounded. What part of the fourth commandment is moral, and what therein is ceremonial. Something (occasionally) concerning the Christian Sunday. By Edm. Porter, B.D. sometime fellow of St John's Colledge in Cambridge, and Prebend of Norwich.	Porter, Edmund, 1595-1670.	1658 (1658)	Wing P2984; ESTC R218328	143,641	276

therefore_o most_o worthy_o account_v and_o call_v our_o sabbath_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o rest_n of_o man_n but_o that_o he_o
