Exod. 32. 6. or recreations for our owne Pleasure for they are forbidden Isa 58. 13. Q. 75. There bee many arguments to prove the Commandement of the Sabboth to be morall which bee the first sixe of them A. First the Sabboth was delivered to Adam before the fall when there was no Ceremony Gen. 2. 2. which is not spoken by anticipation but the context sheweth it was then sanctified to him verse 3. Secondly Moses takes it for granted it was knowne to be morall and knowne before the Law was given Exod. 16. 25. Thirdly unlesse this be morall there cannot be ten Commandements for the Dutyes being commanded in the three former the time only here either this time must be morall or else there cannot be ten which is false Deut. 16. 4. Fourthly God would not put a cerimoniall law in the middest of the moralls and urge it with more words reasons repititions and particulars then any of the moralls as he doth the Sabboth Exod. 20. 8. 9 10 11. Fiftly Christ speaking of those dayes when all the cerimoniall law was dead and buried sheweth the Sabboth stands still Math. 24. 20. Sixtly the Prophet prophecying of the dayes of the Gospel when Christ the righteousnesse and salvation of God should be revealed Isa 56. 1. pronounceth a blessing on them in those times that keep the Sabboth from poluting of it verse 2. and putteth the keeping of the Sabboth for the whole obedience of the covenant ver 6. which he would not do if it were for obedience is better them sacrifice or ce●imony 1. Sam. 15. 22. Q. 76. Now because some object saying the Sabboth is not engraven in mens hearts neither is there any mention either before the flood or after that the fathers did keep it and so forth therefore tell me what arguements have you to prove it morall A. First if God had meant to out on Cerimony among the Lawes that were morall he would rather have put Sacrifice for that is more a dequat to all the ●●●imoniall saw Hos 6. 6. being a type of repentance Psal 50. 17. Thanks givings Psal 107. 22. Prayer Prov. 21. 27. Justice and Iudgement ver 3. all religion Pro. 15. 8. a full type of Christ Heb. 9. 14. Secondly the scripture sheweth not that nor Christ Mat. 5. 17. nor the law of faith doth disanull any thing of the law meaning directly the Decalogue Rom. 3. 31. Thirdly the Sabboth was intimated in Caine and Ables Publick serving of God Gen. 4. 3. 4. and in the publick calling on Gods name in the dayes of Enosh ver 26. and in Noahs waiting the fall of the waters by Sevens Gen. 8. 10. 12. who no question as he condemned the world by building the Ark on the weeke dayes Heb. 11. 7. So also by preaching o● the Sabboth for he was a Preacher 2. Pet. 2. 5. and in Abraham too who was a Prophet Gen. 20. 7. and had a great people to preach to Gen. 14 14. Fourthly the Sabboth is ingraven upon mans heart of which the ingraving upon Tables was a token Exod. 34. 28. and to shew the everlastingnesse of it it was written which none of the Cerimonies were in stone Deut. 4. 15. Fisthly when God speaking of the covenant of grace he saith he will write it againe in the minds of his redeemed Heb. 10. 16. even upon the fleshly tables of their hearts alluding to the materiall writing 2. Corin. 3. 3. Sixtly the very heathens had their Sephtamins their eights and the ninths still hovering about the holy seventh of the Decalogue the whole law being obscurely written in their hearts Romans 2. 15. Q. 77. The Sabboth was the last day of the Weeke how commeth it now to bee changed into the first day of the weeke A. This day the Lord hath made Psal 118. 24. For on this day Christ rose from the dead and rested from the worke of Redemption Math. 28. 1. Having created new heavens and a new earth Psal 65. 17. which we are to keepe by vertue of the fourth Commandement still for Christ telleth us hee is Lord of it Math. 12. 8. which is called sometimes from Priority of order and dignity the first day of the Weeke Acts 20. 7. Sometimes from the Author that did institute it the Lords day Rev. 1. 10. as wee see the Lords Supper is so called 1 Cor. 11. ●0 And though the Sabboth from the Crcation were from Even to even Levit. 23. 32. Dayes being so reckoned Gen. 1. 31. yet this Sabboth is to bee reckoned from Christs Resurrection and therefore is from Morning to morning Marke 16. 2. And albeit Mary Magdalen came while it was darkish and Christ was risen before that and so might seeme to have risen over night Job 20. 1. yet that could not bee the women and Peter and John would never have deferred their going to the Sepulcher till morning then as they did vers 2. Now howsoever this Day be circumstantially changed and Ceremonies removed yet the day stands still morall Acts 16. 13. The Commandement of not Killing had a ceremony a●next to it as the eating of the Flesh with the bloud Gen. 9. 4. 5. which now is changed Col. 2. 21. and yet the Commandement of not killing stands still Rom. 13. 9.

ascension Ephes 4 10. For he was not only dead but hidden of death for a while though he could not be held quite Acts 2. 24.

He rose againe for the glory of God and the good of all the Elect Rom. 6. 4. That they might be glorified Rom. 4. 25. For if hee had not risen they had still been in their sinnes 1 Cor. 15. 17. This article was a comfort to Iob and all before the comming of Christ Iob. 19. 25. And is to be remembred of all the people of God as a comfort against all troubles namely that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead 2 Tim. 2 8. and for diver other reasons did he rise Q. 42. What beleeve you conceerning the other two Articles A Hee aseended into heaven Iohn 3 13. and was seene so doing Iohn 6. 62. being taken up Acts 1. 9 and he went up verse 10. whether the bodies of the Saints are not yet ascended no not Davids Acts 2. 34. though their soules doe ascend as soone as they are dissolved from their bodies to be with Christ Phil. 1. 23. and the Heavens must receive him till the times of restitution Acts 3. 21. and therefore in respect of his body wee have him not with us here on earth Iohn 12. 8. But onely Sacramentally in his Supper 1 Cor. 11. 24. And hee sitteth now at the right hand of God Col. 3. 1. in the throne of his Father Rev. 3. 21. being preferred even in his humane nature above all Angels and all Principalities and powers Ephes 1. 20 21. expecting till his enemies be made his foot-stoole Heb. 10. 13. Where Steven saw him standing up as in his defence Acts 7. 55. and where hee maketh intercession for his redeemed Rom. 8. 24. As beeing their one onely Mediator 1 Tim. 2. 5. Q. 43. What beleeve you of Christs judging the world A. Hee is ordained of God to bee Iudge of quick and dead Acts 10. 42. Not only men but Angels to the day when being called the great day Jude 6. Hee shall come to do it visibly Acts 1. 11. And according to those truths which are contained in the Gospell Rom. 2. 16. and as men may find their doome in the word so they must expect it Iohn 12. 48. His Saints too by their lives shall judge all the world that are not Saints 1 Cor. 6. 2. The set day and houre and time knoweth no man nor the Angels no not Christ himselfe as man Marke 13. 32. Though a mans particular judgement bee as hee dyes Heb. 9. 27. either to Heaven or to Hell Luke 16. 22 23. Q. 44. What is the Office of Christ A.

In this sense no meere creature can bee a Mediator to intreat for us 1 Sam. 2. 25. And therefore it is in another sence that the Prayers of Saints living upon earth when they pray for other men are called intercessions 1 Tim. 2. 1. and wee must pray them to pray for us Heb. 13. 18. though not when they bee dead for then they bee ignorant of us yea though it bee Abraham himselfe Isa 63. 16. The dead know not any thing of the affaires of this life Eccl. 9. 5. The Lord counts it an absurd thing that the living should seeke unto the dead Isa 8. 19. when once their soules goe away hence they ●e no more to appeare to us Psal 39. 13. Neither have wee any warrant to pray the Angels to pray for us though they be sent forth to minister for us Heb. 1. 14. Nor to speake unto them unlesse it bee in a Rhetorieall straine to blesse the Lord Psal 103. 20. Q. 45. Why did Christ take the office of a Mediator upon him A. Because hee was elected of God for this purpose Isa 42. 1. and foreordained 1 Pet. 1. 20. and sealed John 6. 27. and Sanctifyed Iohn 10. 36. And given of God for the life of beleevers John 3. 16. not only to helpe sinners with a possibility of salvation that they might bee saved ver 17. but to convert sinners 1 Tim. 1. 15. This was the agreement made between his Father and him that hee should have a seed and that the Redemption which hee purchased should actually prosper Isa 53. 10. this was trinsicall end he lookt at namely that he might purchase to himselfe a peculiar people Tit. 2. 14. Q. 46. Which bee the particular Offices of Christ A. Hee was Annoynted Isa 61. 1. First to be our Prophet to whom we must hearken as long as wee live Deut. 18. 15. Secondly our mercifull and faithfull high Priest to reconcile us to God Heb. 2. 17. and King of Saints Rev. 15. 3. For first wee were desperately ignorant of God and hee onely can reveale God unto us Math. 11. 27. Secondly wee were desperately alienated being the enemies of God and hee only can reconcile us Col. 1. 21. Thirdly we were desperately disabled and could never have applyed this Redemption unto us hee onely can make us Kings over sinne and death Rev. 1. 6. Q. 47. Who is hee that in effect denyeth Christs Offices and teacheth men so A. The Pope and his Church for though hee seeme to sit in the Temple of God 2 Thes 2. 4. and have the horne of the Lambe as though hee were
