A14653	The doctrine of the Sabbath Wherein the first institution of the vveekly Sabbath, with the time thereof, the nature of the law binding man to keep it, the true ground, and necessity of the first institution, and of the observation of it, on the severall day in the Old Testament, and also of the moving of it to the first day under the Gospel, are laid open and proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Also besides the speciall dueties necessarily required for the due sanctification thereof, those two profitable points are proved by demonstrations out of Gods Word. First, that the Lord Christ God and man, is the Lord of the Sabbath, on whom the Sabbath was first founded...2. That the faithfull under the Gospell are as necessarily bound to keep the weekly Sabbath of the Lords day... Deliverd in divers sermons by George Walker B. of Divinity and pastor of St. Iohn Evangelists Church in London.	Walker, George, 1581?-1651.	1638 (1638)	STC 24957; ESTC S103296	151,861	168

of_o god_n without_o circumcision_n or_o observation_n of_o sabbath_n for_o from_o their_o word_n which_o be_v but_o doubtful_a some_o late_a writer_n both_o gomarus_n papist_n and_o protestant_n do_v

thus_o they_o wrangle_v and_o wrest_v the_o text_n by_o a_o childish_a forge_a sense_n and_o meaning_n first_o they_o grant_v the_o first_o word_n that_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n end_v his_o

as_o the_o greek_a writer_n speak_v last_o it_o seem_v by_o divers_a other_o reason_n very_o probable_a that_o man_n do_v fall_v on_o the_o six_o day_n before_o he_o have_v eat_v of_o the_o tree_n

than_o a_o good_a part_n of_o a_o day_n first_o god_n bring_v all_o live_a creature_n before_o he_o and_o he_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o and_o give_v to_o every_o kind_n of_o creature_n fit_a name_n
