A17418 The doctrine of the Sabbath vindicated in a confutation of a treatise of the Sabbath, written by M. Edward Breerwood against M. Nic. Byfield, wherein these five things are maintained: first, that the fourth Commandement is given to the servant and not to the master onely. Seecondly, that the fourth Commandement is morall. Thirdly, that our owne light workes as well as gainefull and toilesome are forbidden on the Sabbath. Fourthly, that the Lords day is of divine institution. Fifthly, that the Sabbath was instituted from the beginning. By the industrie of an unworthy labourer in Gods vineyard, Richard Byfield, pastor in Long Ditton in Surrey. Byfield, Richard, 1598?-1664. 1631 (1631) STC 4238; ESTC S107155 139,589 186

over_o against_o work_n of_o piety_n now_o as_o by_o work_n of_o piety_n they_o mean_v lesser_a as_o well_o as_o great_a work_n of_o religion_n to_o god_n so_o by_o servile_a work_n they_o mean_v as_o well_o light_a as_o toilsome_a work_n of_o labour_n for_o man_n to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n why_o melachah_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o special_a weight_n in_o
