A60480	The doctrine of the Church of England, concerning the Lord's Day, or Sunday-Sabbath as it is laid down in the liturgy, catechism, and book of homilies, vindicated from the vulgar errours of modern writers, and settled upon the only proper and sure basis of God's precept to Adam, and patriarchal practice, where an essay is laid down to prove, that the patriarchal Sabbath instituted, Gen. 2. 3. celebrated by the patriarchs before the Mosaick Law, and re-inforc'd in the fourth precept of the Decalogue, was the same day of the VVeek, viz. Sunday, which Christians celebrate in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world by the redemption of mankind.

that_o this_o be_v a_o public_a church-assemble_o consist_v of_o many_o family_n 4._o the_o four_o and_o last_o note_n i_o make_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v this_o see_v cain_n oblation_n be_v not_o consume_v by_o fire_n which_o way_n can_v it_o be_v dispose_v of_o but_o to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o priest_n that_o officiate_v for_o it_o have_v be_v once_o dedicate_v to_o god_n can_v not_o be_v alienate_v without_o sacrilege_n and_o therefore_o must_v fall_v to_o the_o portion_n of_o he_o that_o serve_v at_o the_o altar_n that_o he_o may_v live_v of_o the_o altar_n have_v nothing_o else_o of_o the_o altar_n to_o live_v upon_o but_o the_o remainder_n of_o oblation_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n see_v all_o oblation_n of_o beast_n and_o fowl_n be_v whole_a burnt-offering_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a question_n to_o ask_v what_o become_v of_o the_o remainder_n of_o such_o sacrifice_n and_o see_v also_o that_o man_n be_v then_o confine_v to_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n for_o his_o food_n to_o conclude_v we_o see_v the_o patriarch_n have_v state_v public_a religious_a assembly_n celebrate_v in_o state_v place_n separate_v to_o that_o

evident_a from_o the_o premise_n for_o it_o be_v not_o conceivable_a how_o such_o assembly_n can_v meet_v if_o they_o have_v not_o state_v time_n when_o to_o meet_v yet_o i_o shall_v offer_v these_o

of_o divine_a worship_n the_o learned_a indeed_o dispute_v what_o state_v time_n be_v here_o mean_v annual_a monthly_a or_o weekly_a but_o that_o a_o state_v time_n for_o religious_a assembly_n be_v
