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

to_o rest_v but_o that_o even_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n though_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a worldly_a thing_n in_o it_o own_o nature_n yet_o be_v a_o singular_a part_n of_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n upon_o that_o day_n when_o it_o be_v so_o many_o time_n require_v so_o often_o urge_v and_o as_o it_o be_v near_o press_v upon_o we_o with_o word_n double_v and_o tripled_a yea_o and_o that_o by_o

severity_n of_o his_o law_n by_o his_o most_o significant_a and_o pathetical_a speech_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v man_n to_o rest_n upon_o this_o day_n be_v manifold_a worship_n the_o chief_a cause_n of_o rest_v be_v that_o we_o may_v whole_o attend_v upon_o god_n worship_n the_o first_o and_o principal_n be_v that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n that_o man_n may_v be_v the_o more_o fit_a to_o sanctify_v it_o in_o the_o holy_a service_n of_o god_n which_o because_o they_o can_v not_o do_v with_o all_o the_o power_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n require_v so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v about_o their_o worldly_a business_n because_o they_o must_v needs_o take_v up_o their_o wit_n and_o their_o will_n the_o understanding_n and_o the_o heart_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v conversant_a in_o they_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v so_o do_v as_o he_o require_v he_o will_v have_v we_o rest_v from_o that_o which_o may_v hinder_v we_o from_o it_o and_o because_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o world_n and_o his_o worship_n be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n he_o will_v have_v we_o rest_v from_o the_o one_o that_o we_o may_v be_v occupy_v in_o the_o other_o thus_o speak_v s._n augustine_n 251._o august_n de_fw-fr temp_n serm_n 251._o sciendum_fw-la est_fw-la fratres_fw-la
