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.

which_o carry_v on_o the_o reformation_n of_o christian_a religion_n from_o papal_a innovation_n more_o pecate_o regular_o cautious_o and_o with_o a_o great_a respect_n to_o catholic_n antiquity_n

i_o observe_v that_o the_o writer_n upon_o the_o four_o precept_n have_v fall_v into_o inextricable_a perplexity_n mere_o through_o this_o one_o mistake_n that_o the_o sabbath_n enjoin_v in_o that_o

labyrinth_n wherein_o they_o have_v lose_v themselves_o for_o if_o sunday_n be_v the_o day_n whereon_o god_n rest_v and_o therefore_o command_v in_o that_o precept_n to_o be_v sanctify_v after_o god_n example_n and_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o day_n wereon_o god_n rest_v that_o precept_n do_v not_o command_v the_o sanctification_n of_o it_o how_o natural_o will_v these_o consequence_n follow_v 1._o that_o adam_n and_o the_o patriarch_n can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o example_n of_o god_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o precept_n as_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v it_o for_o if_o that_o reason_n oblige_v we_o who_o only_o hear_v it_o it_o must_v much_o more_o oblige_v adam_n who_o after_o a_o sort_n see_v it_o 2._o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o saturday-sabbath_n be_v not_o express_o command_v in_o that_o precept_n but_o only_o reducible_a to_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o equity_n and_o proportion_n of_o time_n viz._n one_o of_o seven_o and_o therefore_o saturday-sabbath_n may_v depart_v and_o the_o precept_n continue_v in_o full_a force_n nay_o that_o sabbath_n together_o with_o the_o ceremonial_a precept_n concern_v it_o must_v as_o the_o rest_n of_o mosaic_a ceremony_n depart_v at_o the_o rend_n of_o the_o veil_n and_o give_v way_n to_o the_o sunday-sabbath_n and_o thus_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v disburden_v of_o
