A77209	An answer to M. Cawdry's two books of the Sabbath, lately come forth Wherein the author doth two things: 1. He vindicates himselfe from Mr Cawdrie's unfriendly abuse of him, in fathering upon him three texts of scripture, and three arguments deduced from them, to prove the perpetuity of the antient Sabbath, ... Wherein the author hath 1. Answered and confuted all that Mr. Cawdry hath wrote to corrupt the sense and meaning of the Commandement. 2. He hath restored the antient, genuine, and proper sense of the Commandement: and confirmed it by sundry undeniable arguments. By Theophilus Brabourne.

Commandement and also by the ordinall first ascribed to the Lords day Argument the third My third Argument shall be taken out of the last part of the fourth Commandement saying For God rested the seventh day and sanctified the Sabbath day so here we have the seventh day men●ioned before in the Commandement Exod 20.10 repeated and the Sabbath day mentioned before in the Commandement Exod. 20.8 repeated also whence I gather that the words Sabbath day at the beginning of the Commandement and the same words at the ending of the Commandement speake both of one and the same revolution of time and day and the words seventh day in the former part of the Commandement and the same words repeated in the latter part of the Commandement are to be understood of the same time and day For 1. In a continued speech one word or phrase often repeated is to be understood in one and the same sense so as if in the latter part of the speech the words be definite then so they must be in the former part also 2. Gods rest on the seventh day and sanctifying the Sabbath day are brought as an Argument reason or motive to perswade men to keepe this seventh-day Sabbath now the same words in the question or conclusion repeated in the Argument or motive must have one and the same sense if there be faire dealing so as if the one be to be understood definitely and of a time certaine then so must the other be understood also 3. These words the seventh daies rest of God and Gods sanctifying the Sabbath day are propounded as Gods example for us to imitate and follow now the Scholar must follow his Copy as neare as possibly he can Moses was to follow Gods paterne of the Tabernacle even to an haires breadth if possible so are we to imitate Gods example by keeping the same seventh-day-Sabbath weekly which God kept at the Creation By these three reasons it appeares that being the same words must have the same sense in all the fourth Commandement and that the day wherein God rested at the Creation and which then he sanctified being it was the seventh and last day of the weeke folloWing his sixe daies creating it was not any one day of the seven but the last day of the seven definitely therefore the fourth Commandement is to be expounded throughout from the beginning to the ending of it for the seventh and last day of the weeke which is a fixed limited and definite day not a day at randome rovers and uncertaine as any one day of the seven The day I say whereon God rested at the Creation being ce●tainly the seventh and last day of the seven or weeke the whole fourth Commandement must be expounded of the same seventh and last day of the seven or weeke certainly not at rovers as appeares by my three reasons given so far of my third Argument Argument the fourth My fourth Argument shall be taken out of the body of the fourth Commandement saying Sixe daies shalt thou labour but the seventh day thou shalt rest Exod. 20.9 10. For in sixe daies the Lord made the heaven and the earth c. and he rested the seventh day Exod. 20.11 whence I note that the sixe daies wherein God created the world were his working daies and they all went together no resting or Sabbath day comming betweene them and the sixe working daies of man went also all together no resting or Sabbath day comming betweene them whence it follows that of necessity the Sabbath day in the fourth Commandement could not possibly be appointed for one day of seven indefinitely that is for any one day of the seven indifferently for the sixe daies labour ought to go together for working daies and therefore the Sabbath day could not come in betweene any of the sixe working daies or be any one of them wherefore of necessity the Sabbath day must fall after the sixe working daies upon the seventh and last day of the weeke and not upon any one of the seven daies so far of my fourth Argument Argument the fifth If there never was from the giving of the Law upon Mount Sinai downe to our times any day known in the Churches but one weekly day for the seventh day nor any day known for the Sabbath day weekly but one namely Saturday the seventh and last day of the weeke then the fourth Commandement ought to be expounded of that one seventh day definitely and of that one Sabbath day namely Saturday the seventh and last d●y of the weeke and not for any one of the seven daies or for a Sabbath day at rovers and uncertainly But there never was from the giving of the Law upon Mount Sinai down to our times any day known in the Churches but one weekely day for the seventh day nor any day known for the Sabbath day weekly but one namely Saturday the seventh and last day of the weeke Therefore the fourth Commandement ought to be expounded of that one seventh day definitely and of that one Sabbath day namely Saturday the seventh and last day of the weeke and not for any one of the seven daies or for a Sabbath day at rovers and uncertainly As for the first proposition it is so cleare as it needs no proofe only remember this that we speake of a Sabbath weekly not of any anniversary and yearely Sabbath which belonged not to the fourth Commandement but to their severall and ceremoniall Commandements but we have to do only with the fourth Commandement and the weekely Sabbaths in relation to it And so I come to prove my second Proposition in both the parts 1. At the Creation God began to number the daies of the weeke by these ordinall numbers the first second third fourth fifth sixth and the last was the seventh day Gen. 1.5 8 c. Gen. 2.2 3. this numbring of the weeke daies continued in the Church unto the giving of the Law upon Mount Sinai Exod. ●0 9 10. from thence it continued in the Church untill Christs time Mat. 28.1 Mar. 16 2 9. and in all these times no day was known to be the seventh but one namely Saturday and from Christs time unto ours it is still so known for all Divines Antient and Moderne call our Sunday or Lords day the first day of the weeke and so consequently Saturday if you reckon onwards the seventh day so there being no seventh day but one namely Saturday the fourth Commandement must be expounded of Saturday the seventh day and not of one day in seven uncertainly 2. As for the name Sabbath day it began in the Church for a weekly day before the giving of the L●w Exod. 16.22 23. from thence unto the giving of the Law it continued for a weekly day Exod. 20.8 9 10. from the giving of the Law unto Christ it still continued in the Church Isa 56.2 6. Isa 58.13 N●h 13.15 Mat. 28 1. Luk. 23.56 with Luk. 24 1. and from Christ's time in hath continued unto our
