that in the depth of popery for otherwise such a tradition could not have gotten foot and prevailed among them Neither do I alleadge this for want of true examples in this kinde there being many and me norable which are recorded by others as well of forraigne parts as our own Country in which to the honour be it spoken of the reformed Religion and our Soveraigne Princes the protectors thereof our Reverend Judges have restrained themselves and our ordinary Carryers have by publique Authority been restrained from travelling on the Lords Day though both carry with them the advantage of the publique good to the great comfort of such as without all schismaticall humour or peevish affectation of singularity heartily embrace both the Doctrine professed and discipline practised in the Church of England and their hope is that other abuses yet remaining and tending to the prophanation of that Day may in good time likewise be reformed as in some forraigne reformed Churches they have lately been Lastly for our instruction and imitation against the prophanation of this Day as well Generall Councells and Provinciall Synods have bent their Canons as Emperors and Kings and Commonweals their Laws Such were Conââ¦tine the Great the first Christian Emperour born in this Island and Charles the Great Canutus the Dane Henry the 6th and Edward the 6th three of our most pious Princes who zealously stood for the religious observation of this Day as Nehemiah did for the sanctifying of the Jewish Sabboth My Conclusion shall be That if some bodily recreations on the Lords Day for the better sanctifying thereof be thought requisite yet under correction I should conceive them more tolerable in the Paââ¦or who that Day hath spent his spirits in a faithfull discharge of his Ministeriall Function than in the people and among the people rather in Trades-men and Husband men than in Gentlemen who for the most part make every day holy-day in following their sports and in all with these limitations First That they be in their conscience fully perswaded that the games which they use be not onely lawfull in themselves but also in regard of the Day for whatsoever is not of faith is sinne that which I think unlawfull or am not perswaded in my self that it is lawfull though in it self it be so yet to me it is sinne so as it is a safe rule in Divinity Quod dubitas ne feceris that which thou doubtest of do not The second limitation is That our Recreations do not tend to the scandall of others If meat make my brother offend saith the Apostle I will eat no flesh while the world standeth lest I make my brother to offend and yet may publique Recreations one day in the week be more easily be forborn than meat whiles the world standeth My third limitation is That these Recreations tend to the better sanctification of the Lords Day in the refreshing of mens spirits Sanctification being by all Divines confessed to be the principall end thereof which being laid for a ground the consequence in my judgement is unavoidable That all our actions on that day ought more or lesse to be directed and squared thereunto according to that approved rule of the Schools Tantum destinati sââ¦mendum quantum ad finem prodest so much of the means as conduceth to the end is to be taken and no more I will shut up all with that of the Evangelicall Prophet Esay only changing the Jewish Sabboth into the Lords Day the Sabbath of the Christians If thou turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on my holy Day and call it a delight the holy of the Lord honorable and shalt honour him not doing thine own wayes nor finding thine own pleasure nor speaking thiââ¦e own words Then shalt thou delight thy self in the Lord and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and feed thee with the Heritage of Jacob thy father For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it God grant that we may so truely serve the Lord by a due observation of his Day hââ¦re that we may eternall raigne with him hereafter Part of a Speech delivered in the Starre-Chamber against the opinion of Mr. Traske By the Right Reverend Father in God Lancelot Bishop of Winchester deceased IT hath ever been the Churches Doctrine that Christ made an end of all Sabboths by his Sabboth in the Grave that Sabboth was the last of them And that the Lords Day presently came in place of it Dominicus dies Christi resurrectione declaratus est Christianis ex illo coepit habere festivitatem suam saith Augustine The Lords Day was by the resurrection of Christ declared to be the Christians Day and from that very time of Christs Resurrection it began to be celebrated as the Christian mââ¦ns festivall These two the Day and the Supper have the Epithet of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Dominicum in the Scriptures to shew Dominicum is aââ¦ike to be taken in both This for the practice If you will have it in precept the Apostle gives it and in the same word still that against {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the day of their Assemââ¦ly Every one should lay apart what God should move him to offer to the Collection for the Saints and then offer it which was so ever in use That the day of oblations So have you it in practice and in precept both FINIS in Gen. 2. 3.
