A62209	The sauciness of a seducer rebuked, or, The pride and folly of an ignorant scribbler made manifest in some remarks upon a scurrilous libel written by Joseph Nott ... against a book of the Reverend Mr. George Tross in vindication of the Lord's Day : together with a confutation of some errors of the Quakers, in a book call'd ... Gospel-truths scripturally asserted, written by John Gannacliff and Joseph Nott.	Trosse, George, 1631-1713.	1693 (1693)	Wing S729; ESTC R7884	41,236	31

doth not go about to prove that the Name Sabbath is given to the First Day but that the First Day since the Resurrection of Christ is the Day of Holy Rest. And what is the difference between Rest and Sabbath but that one is an English the other a Hebrew word Mr. Tross knows better than Joseph Nott that the Lord's-Day is the Name given by the Holy Ghost to the First-Day and principally used by the Primitive Christian VVriters of which a late diligent Searcher of their VVritings hath given us many Instances * Enquiry into the worship c. of the Primitive Church p. 2. p. 161. 165. He also tells us that though the Fathers sometimes so far complied with the Heathens as to call it Sunday in their Phrase that they might know what Day they meant Yet he did not find that the VVriters of the 3 first Centuries ever so far indulg'd the Jews as to call it the Sabbath-Day but they violently declaim against Sabbatizing that is the Judaical Obeservation of the Seventh-Day And a great Light of this Age hath observed (a) Baxter's Divine Appointment of the Lords Day Pag. 185. That the word Sabbath is ever taken in Scripture for a Day of Ceremonial Rest as well as Spiritual Rest and Worship That the Seventh-Day it self is never call'd a Sabbath till Moses's time but only the sanctified and blessed Day That the Lord's Day is sometimes call'd by latter Writers by the Name of the Christian-Sabbath but that is only Analogically as it resembles the Jewish-Sabbath (b) Id. Pag. 2. See also Pag. 81. and 82. And when they call it a Sabbath they do not mean a Day of Jewish Ceremonial Rest for Christ hath ended all such Sabbaths as being Shadows of things to come but a Day separated by Christ's App●intment for holy Assemblies and Worship Let but J. N. grant that the First Day is such a Day and then let him call it the First Day or Sabbath or Lord's-Day or Sunday as he pleases And if I don 't greatly mistake him he hath granted the thing though he keeps a po●her against the Name For he tells us Pag. 6. L. 15. That the Sabbath signifies Rest and Pag. 8. L. 14. That the Quakers do cease from their outward Labour and assemble themselves together to wait upon God and worship him on the First Day of the Week Though their squeamish Stomachs will not let the Name Christian Sabbath go down from hence it appears that all which the Quaker hath said on this Argument here and so on to the end of his B●ok is meer Stuff a pitiful putid Cavil and his Accusation may be retorted upon himself For if Mr. Tross hath no foundation to prove the First Day to be the christian-Christian-Sabbath or Day of holy Rest then Joseph Nott and his Quakers have no Scripture-Warrant for their Practice of ceasing from their outward Labour and assembling themselves together to wait upon God and worship him on the First Day of the Week So that upon the whole it appears that Joseph Nott might very well have kept his Breath and spar'd his Paper for some better use J. N. But if we who in scorn are called Quakers should bring such Doctrine as we had no Scripture to prove How would people cry out against us And indeed Reason enough too But we bring no such Doctrine God forbid we should for we are a People that have an honourable Esteem for the Holy Scriptures No doubt but ye are the People and Wisdom shall die with you Job 12.2 You have a very honourable Esteem for the Holy Scripture witness the Titles and Epithetes you give it in your Writings such as a Carnal Letter a Dead-Killing-Letter the Husk which is fit for nothing but the Swine Nay some of you are not asham'd to call your own Writings the Word of the Lord though you deny the Scriptures to be so and others have the face to affirm what you say to be of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters and GREATER See Quakers Principles and Doctrines Re-printed Pag. 3.4 And whereas thou pretendest that you Quakers bring no such Doctrine as you have no Scripture to prove perhaps I may hereafter shew the Contrary as to your Principal Opinions I am quite weary of Transcribing and I doubt not but my Reader is of reading J. N's Gibberish therefore I shall in the remaining 3. Pages of his Book only remark some choice observable things J. N. Pag. 6. L. 9. Now here we may see that the Sabbath-Day was a Shadow of what may some say why the Body is of Christ He that can understand let him The Author in these words makes use of a Trope which Rhetoricians call Non-sense He proposes a Question Of what was the Sabbath-Day a Shadow And Answers The Body is of Christ adding very pertinently He that can understand let him And I say so too but I doubt they will be hardly put to it to understand it for Non-sense was never Intelligible J.N. Line 14. Christ is the Christian-Sabbath For as I said before Sabbath signifieth Rest and Christ is the Rest of his People At this rate he may prove that the French King is Christ. For Christ signifieth Anointed Now the French King was anointed Therefore the French King is Christ. So ridiculous is his arguing J. N. Line 33. And they that are Sons of God do I n w this true Rest but G.T. doth manifest his Ignorance of it in applauding of an outward Day and putting of it in its room Here is more Mystical Divinity I hope our Author will in compassion to our Ignorance explain himself in his next about the Resting place in Christ Jesus and the Outward day which he talks of as tho' there were an Inward day If he doth not tell us more plainly what he means we shall be ready to think that his Worship doth scarce understand what he hath written himself J. N. Lin. 35. And in Pag. 90. G.T. saith That St. John calls the Fi st Day of the Week the Lords-Day And in Pag. 132. he saith That the Holy Ghost does call the Fi st Day of the Week the Lord's Day Here G.T. hath made a bold venture and he will find a ●●ry hard Task to prove what he hath said Why so Bold-a-venture Joseph I think he hath sufficiently prov'd that the Lord's-day mentioned Rev. 1.10 is the First Day of the Week from a constant uninterrupted and universal Tradition from the Days of the Apostle to our Days the generality of Christians acknowledging the Lord's-Day to be the First Day Pag. 82. Many of the antient Writers have given it this appellation as Ignatius who is commonly said to have been St. John Disciple and therefore may be presumed to understand his Meaning at least as well as J. N. He saith in his Epistle to the Magnesians Let every Friend of Christ keep holy the Lord's-Day the Resurrection Day the Queen of Days To the same purpose

of the People They have followed me home crying out in the Streets The day of the Lord is coming when thou shalt perish as a Deceiver They have stood in the Market-place and under my VVindow year after year crying out to the People take heed of your Priests they deceive your Souls And if they saw any one wear a ●ace or neat Cloathing These are the fruit of thy Ministry If they speak to me with the greatest Nonsence or Ignorance it was with as much Fury and Rage as if a bloody Heart had appear'd in their Faces Some of them went stark naked thro' the Streets and cried out over and over all the year VVo to the Proud VVonderful VVonderful Oh the blindness of a corrupted Mind that these poor Souls did not perceive their intolerable Pride J. N. p. 7. l. 20. Now as for the days of the Week they are called as follows the first day the second day c. The Lords day is an everlasting day and the true Communicants are living Witnesses of it for in this everlasting day the true fellowship stands see 1 John 1.7 Gen. 1.5 The Light is called Day and in the Light the true Fellowship stands Here 's a piece of Rosy-Crucian Divinity After thou hast made it clear and evident that thou art able to tell Seven or Ten if need be thou soarest higher and givest us such knotty obstruse Mysterious Sentences as want an Oedipus to unriddle Methinks that passage thou dost so often repeat would have done very well here He that can understand let them understand I doubt few of thy Inlightned Brethren will fathom this Quaking Divinity This is much as intelligible as the words of James Parnel Shield of Truth p. 113. The ground of the Religion made manifest to us says he is God himself For God is the Fountain of all Truth and Truth is Religion And this Truth we witness made manifest by God the life of Truth And here is the Religion we witness forth and here is the ground witnessed forth from the ground And this Religion is pure unspotted and springs from the Light which is pure wherein there is no deceit neither can be for it discovers all deceit and leads out of it both within and without Is not this most edifying Discourse Did ever arrant Fops waste Ink and Paper to Pen more in and out stories than these of James Parnel and Joseph Nott But what Scripture what Argument hast thou to prove that the Lords Day mention'd Rev. 1.10 is an everlasting day and not a proper day even the First day of the VVeek Must all that drops from thy Goose-Quill pass for Oracles Produce thy strong Reasons and don 't put us off with naked Assertions VVhat is the everlasting day thou pratest of Who are the true Communicants who thou sayest are witnesses of this invisible Day VVhere do they dwell VVhat are their Names And how doth Fellowship stand in a Day and in the light Doth not the Quakers Fellowship end at Night and set with the Sun Is it not in danger to be lost in a Mist or interrupted by a Storm Explain this better in thy next or else lay aside thy Pen and follow thy Trade J. N. p. 8 l. 4. I say it is necessary yea needful that one day in Seven should be set apart for these Reasons O cunning Elf what a piercing Wit hast thou that canst so accurately distinguish between necessary and needful S●otus who hath got the Name of Doctor Subtilis was a meer Dunce to thee But let us hear thy Reasons J. N. First it is needful that Man and Beast should Rest some time from their Labour But why must they rest from their Labour one day in Seven more than one day in six or one day in eight I am confident thou must Rest Seven Days from thy Labour before thou wilt be able to prove this Reason to be cogent and concluding for one day in seven more than one day in seventeen or one hour in seven J. N. Secondly Men and Women being free from their outward Labour and Concern they may be the more freely given up in their Hearts and Minds to wait upon God and worship him I grant this is a good Reason why some time should be set apart for Religious Worship but I will make a bold venture for once and give thee Eight days to make it out from hence that therefore one day in seven no more nor no less should be so set apart J. N. Thirdly That Servants that else might not have liberty that they * may have liberty to wait upon God and worship him * The words that they are brought in by a Figure called Head und Shoulders This Reason is no more concluding than the former For Servants may have liberty one day in four or one day in eight as well as one day in seven for ought that Joseph Nott hath prov'd to the contrary I don't doubt but one day in seven ought to be set apart for the Publick and Private Solemn Worship of God and I am fully perswaded that the Lords-day commonly called Sunday is now the day But there are far better Arguments to prove this in several Treatises written on this Subject viz. by Dr. Young Dr. Wallis Dr. Owen Mr. Baxter Mr. Warren and to name no more Mr. Tross than those which Joseph Nott hath produc'd But we can have no more of the Fox than his Skin But let us hear the last Cavil and that is about calling the Days of the Week by old Saxon Names Munday Tuesday Wednesday c. Concerning the occasion of these Names our Authour who is no doubt a great Antiquary refers us to Verstegan's Antiquities and Cambden's B it for satisfaction As to the former of these he hath broken his own Rule For he hath put a new Name upon him for which he hath no command nor example calling him Verstigan But we 'll let such a small Litteral mistake pass greater matters than this shall not cause any difference among Friends Let us therefore hear what he hath to say concerning the Godfathers to Tuesday and Wednesday J. N. The next was the Idol of Planets which was the Idol of Tuisco who was the first and chiefest man of that Name among the Germans unto whom the name of Tuesday was especially dedicated Joseph thou hast serv'd Verstegan a little coursly in changing his Name but thou hast been unmerciful to this Sentence which thou pretendest to transcribe out of him Thou wouldst make us believe that the Idol of Planets was the Idol Tuisco i. e. the Idol of Planets was the Idol of a Man How doth this hang together But this is not all for whereas thy Author saith that Tuisco was the first and Chiefest Man of Name among the Germans thou tellest us he was the chiefest Man of that Name Hereby making it evident that as thou canst not write true English so neither canst thou read or understand it If any should
