A16523 The doctrine of the sabbath plainely layde forth, and soundly proued by testimonies both of holy scripture, and also of olde and new ecclesiasticall writers. Declaring first from what things God would haue vs straightly to rest vpon the Lords day, and then by what meanes we ought publikely and priuatly to sanctifie the same: together with the sundry abuses of our time in both these kindes, and how they ought to bee reformed. Diuided into two bookes, by Nicolas Bownde, Doctor of Diuinitie. Bownd, Nicholas, d. 1613. 1595 (1595) STC 3436; ESTC S113231 229,943 300

of_o the_o law_n of_o rest_v appear_v more_o clear_o by_o that_o which_o christ_n jesus_n speak_v of_o it_o in_o the_o gospel_n after_o s._n mark_v 2.27_o mark_n 2.27_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v

their_o labour_n from_o they_o who_o by_o present_a necessity_n do_v call_v for_o it_o and_o require_v it_o at_o our_o hand_n for_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o creature_n

from_o help_v it_o will_v perish_v i_o have_v by_o labour_n attain_v unto_o the_o very_a end_n of_o rest_n which_o without_o labour_n i_o can_v not_o and_o thus_o in_o labour_v i_o have_v not_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o rest_n but_o keep_v it_o in_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v institute_v namely_o the_o profit_n and_o commodity_n of_o all_o the_o

their_o master_n now_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o command_v to_o rest_n have_v regard_n to_o his_o creature_n that_o can_v not_o want_v it_o namely_o that_o the_o breast_n may_v be_v make_v more_o serviceable_a unto_o man_n and_o man_n more_o fit_a to_o do_v duty_n unto_o their_o brethren_n and_o unto_o god_n in_o their_o call_n because_o his_o disciple_n be_v fit_v unto_o this_o by_o that_o labour_n which_o necessity_n put_v upon_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o so_o labour_v they_o shall_v have_v be_v more_o unfit_a therefore_o in_o this_o work_n the_o commandment_n of_o rest_v be_v not_o break_v nay_o it_o be_v especial_o observe_v thus_o as_o we_o have_v see_v the_o commandment_n of_o rest_v be_v so_o straight_o indeed_o as_o it_o seem_v best_o unto_o his_o wisdom_n who_o make_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o yet_o in_o give_v it_o he_o have_v have_v regard_n unto_o our_o good_a and_o therefore_o have_v make_v it_o so_o large_a that_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o it_o

have_v be_v declare_v before_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v in_o our_o mind_n from_o the_o study_n and_o care_n of_o worldly_a thing_n so_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v meditate_v

which_o be_v altogether_o dedicate_v unto_o this_o the_o sunday_n therefore_o aught_o to_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o tower_n to_o mount_n on_o high_a to_o view_v the_o work_n of_o god_n from_o a_o far_o when_o we_o be_v neither_o hinder_v nor_o occupy_v with_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o we_o may_v apply_v all_o our_o sense_n and_o our_o whole_a understanding_n to_o reknowledge_v the_o gracious_a

i_o can_v forget_v and_o pass_v over_o with_o silence_n that_o part_n of_o god_n service_n which_o though_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_a in_o it_o own_o nature_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n house_n there_o aught_o to_o be_v sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o man_n house_n and_o comfortable_a to_o ourselves_o yet_o it_o be_v final_o regard_v every_o where_o and_o that_o be_v the_o

that_o it_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o god_n public_a worship_n and_o the_o discipline_n of_o our_o church_n be_v such_o through_o god_n mercy_n that_o the_o psalm_n be_v sing_v in_o many_o place_n after_o a_o plain_a distinct_a and_o profitable_a manner_n and_o may_v be_v every_o where_n if_o man_n will_v yet_o man_n content_v themselves_o with_o that_o and_o be_v not_o mindful_a to_o sing_v at_o home_n by_o themselves_o alone_o or_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o houshoulde_n but_o content_v themselves_o that_o this_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n have_v no_o care_n to_o bring_v

find_v not_o only_o a_o great_a many_o which_o do_v general_o concern_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o be_v most_o fit_a to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o common_a assembly_n
