A16915	Three questions ansvvered I. Question. What should our meaning be, when after the reading of the fourth Commandement, we pray; Lord incline our hearts to keepe this law? II. Question. How shall the fourth Commandement, being deliuered in such forme of words, binde vs to sanctifie any day, but onely the seauenth, the day wherein God rested, & which the Iewes sanctified? III. Question. How shall it appeare to be the law of nature to sanctifie one day in every weeke?	Broad, Thomas, 1577 or 8-1635.	1622 (1622)	STC 3806; ESTC S106710	26,614	43

literall I obserue in St Augustine and some other but by the common doctrine in these dayes there is a third of that commandement touching the Sabbath though not of the other namely partly literall for it bindeth vs to sanctifie one day of the weeke But there a question may wel be demanded How shal the 4 commandement being delivered in such forme of words binde vs to sanctifie any day but only the seaventh Suppose that Christ had said to his Disciples Remember the day of Resurrection to sanctifie it sixe dayes of the weeke ye shall labour and doe all that ye haue to doe but the first day is the day of Resurrection in it you shall doe c. How should this commandement binde vs to sanctifie any day but onely the first the day of Resurrection So God saying Remember the sabbath or day of Rest to sanctifie it 6 dayes shalt thou labour doe al that thou hast to doe but the 7 day is the Sabbath c. How should this commandement binde vs to sanctifie any day but onely the seaventh the day wherein God rested and which the Iewes sanctified I haue thought good thus to vnfold the 4 commandement for the better vnderstanding of that which followeth Answere of a great Divine heretofore In the 4 commandement we haue to obserue .1 The commandement it selfe briefly delivered is thus Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it .2 Then followeth an Explication in order God shewing first which is the Sabbath the seventh day is the Sabbath to the Lord thy God and after how it is sanctified in it thou shalt doe no worke .3 Lastly a reason is yeelded why God requireth this service Redem in 4 precept for in sixe dayes the Lord made c. Thus Zanchius in effect thus Virell likewise in his Grounds of Religion and this analisis of the 4 commandement is so naturall that every one of vnpartiall iudgement must needes approue it and I could wish that such as vndertake to handle the 4th commandement would take notice of it So then this is for substance the whole 4 commandement Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it as for that which followeth it is eyther an explication or a Reason Here now the word Sabbath a great Divine would haue taken in a generall sence so that God saying Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it That thou maist the better conceaue his meaning Suppose God had said to the Israelites Remēber to honour your King Saul is your kinge When Saul was dead and David come into his place this commandement Remember to honour your kinge had bound them still asmuch to honour David now as Saul before So God saying Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it and the 7 day is the Sabbath when the 7 day ceased to be the Sabbath the first day came in his place this commandement Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it may binde aswell to sanctifie the first day now as it did the 7 day heretofore Thus teacheth a great Divine but I cannot easily subscribe herevnto In my opinion God saying Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it is all one as if he had said Remember the 7 day to sanctifie it The Sabbath is the 7 day and the 7 day is the Sabbath in the scriptures many reasons there are which will not suffer vs to approue his doctrine .1 The dayes of the weeke may be named thus the first day the second day c. or thus the day of creating light the day of creating the firmament c. As now the first day and the day of creating light are the same so likewise the seaventh day and the day of Rest And this appeareth to be the iudgment of Augustine Eusebius So likewise it is taken in some Courts a proces citing to appeare dic Sabbati is vpon Saturday Tertullian c. seeing in their books by the Sabbath is meant the 7 day and by the Lords day is meant the first for otherwise they would haue vsed the names of Sabbath and Lords day for one the same day of the weeke .2 By the word Sabbath in the end of the commandement must needes be meant the 7 day only For obserue and rested the 7 day wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath sanctified it Here thou seest that Gods resting on the 7 day is the reason wherefore he sanctified the Sabbath and can it be a reason of sanctifiing any other day besides the seventh especially when he laboured on all the other The reason of the 7 dayes institution vanished as a shadow with the shadow Suppose we had the like speech in the New Testament as thus He rose againe vpon the first day wherefore he blessed the day of Resurrection and sanctified it who would not take the day of Resurrection here for the first day only Adde that were not Sabbath seventh day the same it should rather haue beene said Wherefore the Lord blessed the 7th day or this Sabbath then the Sabbath Againe it is said blessed the Sabath the meaning is in the beginning and now turne to Gen. 2. and there it is said that God blessed the 7 day and sanctified it These words then Sabbath and seventh day are vsed promiscuè in the Scripture .3 By this doctrine the 4 commandement should be of larger extent then that commandement in the beginning suppose it were a commandement as some will haue it for there it is said God blessed the 7 day not the Sabbath .4 Thus should the 4 commandement consist of a generall commandement and a particular the generall Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it the particular The 7 day shall be the Sabbath 5 Had they who first appointed that order of reading the 4 commandement and the people praying after beene of this iudgment they would mee thinks haue put the first in place of the seventh the first day and not the 7 being now the Sabbath to the Lord our God Suppose God had given this commandement to the Israelites Remember to honour your kinge and Saul is your kinge This commandement being read in the Synagogues and the people praying after Lord haue mercy on vs c. when Saul was dead and David kinge would they haue still read the commandement in the same forme of words Remember to honour your kinge and Saul is your kinge I cannot belieue it They then no doubt who first appointed this order in the Church tooke the Sabbath the 7 day for the same in the 4 commandement Answeres of other in these dayes Answere 1 That the Sabbath and the 7 day are the same is acknowledged by some other in these dayes but they would haue the word seventh taken in a generall sence so that I conceaue they would haue the 4 commandement read thus Remember the Sabbath to sanctifie it c. sixe daies c. but a seventh day is the Sabbath c Herevnto my answere is .1 A seventh day that is one of seven as I vnderstand

And shall I demaunde of them when the 7 day Sabbath became a shadow and which was the first Sabbath that was such I doubt not wee should all enter into the heavenly Sabbath before they would agree vpon an answer to this question Obserue that the Apostle Hebr 4 4 I say if not in time for in likelihood God did not sanct the 7 day before the first 7 day was ended Note these words Gen. 2.3 because in it he had rested not would rest speaketh of the 7 day as rested vpon by God and not as sanctified by him or inioyned to be sanctified of man so that the 7 day then became a type when God rested therein The 7 day in order if not in time before it was sanctified was Gods Rest and consequently a shaddow of the rest remaining to the people of God But this by way of disgression to returne Inough hath beene said to make it appeare that the 4 commandement is more Ceremonial then th● 〈◊〉 and therefore not as the other to be observed ●●●●ding to the letter only I will add for a conclusion ●●●t saying of Augustine Quisquis illum diem Sabbatu● observat sicut litera sonat carnaliter sapit that is Spig lit cap. 14. Whosoeuer observeth the Sabbath as the letter soundeth savoureth of the flesh Now they which keepe the 7 day doe no worke therein keepe the sabbath as the letter of the precept soundeth Their Handwriting then should haue beene blotted out and not put in print who teach that the observation of the 7 day is a morall and perpetuall duty and that we may not so much as pick vp sticks in the same Answere agreeable to the Doctrine of our Church When the 8 commandement is read and wee pray So for the rest of the comman Lord incline our hearts to keepe this Law our words and meaning must agree as in words so in meaning wee desire grace not to steale but here not so Though in words we desire God to incline our hearts to keepe the 7 day for Sabbath and to doe no worke therein yet not in meaning It is said in the booke of Homylies that whatsoever is found in the 4 commandement appertaining to the law of nature The 4 comman bound the Israelites to do that which they were not bound to doe by the law of nature but not vs Christians This is the cōmon doctrine ought to be observed of all good Christians our meaning then after the doctrine of our Church should be thus Lord incline our hearts to keepe this law so far forth as it is the Law of nature Or thus Lord incline our hearts to keepe so much of this Law as appertaineth to the law of nature which is the same in effect Thus haue I answered a very needfull question in my opinion what other will iudge of this matter I know ●●●●t for mine owne part I iudge it so needfull to be knowne Our Church hath taken order for the nstruction of the ignorant in this matter I meane by the booke of Homilyes but in these dayes sew parishes haue that booke in fewer it is read and where ttis read scarce one in an hundred I feare learneth a right meaning by it that with St Paul I would gladly spend be spent to bring my ignorant brethren to a right meaning here●●●s it not a lamentable case when a man prayeth Lord in ●●●e mine heart to keepe the 7 day for Sabbath and to doe no worke therein to meane according to his word which is to obserue a shadow and this a kind of deniall that Christ is come The Papists pray without vnderstanding but such pray with a sinfull vnderstanding And if by some triall I may make coniecture thus doe the greatest part of this kingdome neyther is it any mervaile if very many so doe when they are so taught by some in these dayes Againe I finde by experience that they wil hardly be brought to a right meaning here it seemeth to them so strange that in the Publike Service one thing should be spoken and another meāt as that they should heare the 7 day is the Sabbath when not the 7 day but the first day must be kept by them And when to make them take more heed I tell them that to keepe the 7 day for Sabbath and to doe no worke therein as the words of the cōmandement are is to savour of the flesh which is death in the iudgment of St Augustine and other learned Divines Sapere secundum carnem mors est Spir. lit cap. 14. this maketh them even to stand amazed at the strangnes of the matter Moreover as it is hard to bring them to so no doubt will it be to keepe them in a right meaning these words the 7 day is the Sabbath and in it thou shalt doe no worke still sounding in their eares Which I write to this end that my brethren may be more carefull often to ingeminate vnto their Parishioners the doctrine of our Church delivered in the booke of Homilyes Truely if ever it had here need be as the Prophet Esaie speaketh precept vpon precept precept vpon precept line vpon line line vpon line here a little Esai 28.10 and there a little or rather indeed here a great deale and there a great deale and yet I feare mee all to little as would be found vpon triall afterward II. QVESTION IN the iudgment of St Augustine we Christians are bound by the 4 commandement to keepe a figuratiue or spirituall Sabbath Epist 99. ad Ianuar. Inter omnia illa decem precepta c.
