A45832	Saturday no sabbath, or, The seventh-day Sabbath proved to be of no force to the beleeving Gentiles in the times of the Gospel, by the law of nature, Moses, Christ being an account of several publique disputations held at Stone-Chappel by Pauls, London, between Dr. Chamberlain, Mr. Tillam, and Mr. Coppinger ... and Jer.

may_v be_v the_o same_o when_o the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o same_o mr._n coppinger_n as_o to_o your_o first_o instance_n namely_o that_o the_o seven_o year_n be_v command_v for_o a_o mora_n reason_n

god_n minister_n still_o mr._n ives_n as_o for_o your_o answer_n to_o my_o first_o instance_n it_o do_v signify_v little_a for_o i_o say_v refresh_v the_o poor_a be_v a_o moral_a and_o universal_a duty_n and_o if_o than_o the_o seven_o year_n of_o rest_n be_v command_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o poor_a and_o cattle_n then_o by_o your_o argument_n if_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o law_n viz._n that_o the_o poor_a shall_v be_v refresh_v do_v remain_v then_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v by_o your_o logic_n tha●_n the_o seven_o year_n sabbath_n must_v remain_v as_o well_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o as_o touch_v your_o answer_n to_o my_o second_o instance_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o your_o answer_n you_o have_v confute_v yourself_o for_o you_o confess_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n remain_v which_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n for_o sanctify_v the_o priest_n second_o you_o say_v that_o the_o law_n remain_v that_o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n minister_n then_o by_o your_o favour_n if_o you_o can_v make_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n for_o sanctify_v the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n a_o reason_n why_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v

then_o you_o have_v confute_v yourself_o again_o and_o answer_v your_o own_o argument_n for_o your_o argument_n be_v that_o wherever_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o law_n remain_v there_o the_o law_n remain_v and_o you_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n do_v remain_v why_o god_n will_v have_v israel_n sanctify_v the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n and_o now_o in_o your_o last_o answer_n tell_v i_o that_o that_o priesthood_n be_v abolish_v so_o then_o if_o i_o can_v never_o show_v you_o that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v abolish_v yet_o i_o have_v confute_v your_o argument_n by_o show_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o law_n do_v remain_v when_o the_o law_n do_v not_o remain_v and_o you_o have_v confess_v both_o for_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o israel_n be_v to_o sanctify_v that_o priesthood_n be_v the_o same_o still_o viz._n because_o god_n sanctify_v his_o people_n and_o you_o confess_v the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o you_o

to_o show_v you_o the_o error_n of_o your_o argument_n for_o if_o christ_n command_v the_o leper_n to_o observe_v all_o those_o ceremonial_a observation_n for_o his_o cleanse_n then_o be_v your_o

nothing_o to_o gift_n and_o altar_n mention_v in_o mat._n 5._o in_o his_o sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o difference_n in_o place_n especial_o so_o little_a difference_n as_o between_o christ_n be_v on_o the_o mount_n and_o off_o from_o the_o mount_n can_v not_o make_v a_o difference_n in_o his_o command_n second_o it_o can_v reasonable_o be_v imagine_v that_o christ_n will_v command_v the_o leper_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n when_o he_o come_v off_o the_o mount_n that_o be_v contradictory_n to_o what_o he_o do_v command_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o mount_n

there_o be_v another_o reason_n urge_v why_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o law_n that_o command_v he_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o that_o be_v say_v you_o because_o we_o believe_v as_o well_o as_o the_o

they_o be_v bind_v to_o all_o the_o nine_o express_o and_o particular_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n but_o they_o be_v not_o so_o bind_v to_o the_o seventh-day_n

to_o israel_n which_o be_v first_o god_n give_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o israel_n shall_v rest_v the_o seventh-day_n because_o in_o six_o day_n he_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n therefore_o if_o this_o reason_n be_v believe_v by_o christian_a gentile_n than_o this_o law_n shall_v be_v observe_v by_o they_o second_o god_n command_v israel_n to_o rest_v the_o seventh-day_n because_o it_o

a_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v keep_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n because_o israel_n be_v to_o keep_v it_o for_o that_o reason_n than_o we_o must_v also_o drink_v deep_o of_o this_o cup_n of_o

the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v because_o the_o apostle_n give_v a_o toleration_n to_o the_o christian_n to_o keep_v every_o day_n as_o they_o be_v persuade_v in_o their_o own_o mind_n either_o to_o esteem_v one_o day_n above_o another_o or_o every_o day_n alike_o rom._n 14.5_o which_o liberty_n he_o can_v not_o have_v give_v they_o if_o christ_n have_v confirm_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n to_o the_o believe_a gentile_n but_o this_o argument_n do_v meet_v with_o two_o objection_n the_o one_o be_v that_o this_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o every_o day_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n because_o the_o apostle_n give_v a_o toleration_n to_o eat_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o the_o holy_a ghost_n act._n 15._o forbid_v the_o eat_n of_o blood_n and_o thing_n strangle_v etc._n etc._n in_o like_a manner_n say_v they_o must_v we_o restrain_v the_o word_n every_o day_n to_o be_v understand_v of_o every_o day_n but_o the_o sabbath_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v put_v a_o restriction_n upon_o the_o word_n every_o thing_n but_o neither_o christ_n the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o the_o apostle_n have_v put_v a_o restriction_n upon_o this_o word_n every_o day_n therefore_o no_o mortal_a man_n ought_v to_o take_v that_o liberty_n to_o restrain_v the_o word_n of_o a_o text_n when_o the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v not_o restrain_v they_o the_o second_o thing_n object_v against_o this_o argument_n from_o rom._n 14._o be_v this_o viz._n that_o if_o we_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o under_o no_o restraint_n but_o may_v keep_v every_o day_n alike_o then_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o observe_v any_o day_n the_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n make_v way_n for_o the_o last_o thing_n intend_v which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o though_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o at_o liberty_n from_o those_o moysaicall_a institution_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o day_n and_o have_v make_v all_o day_n alike_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o moysaicall_a sanctity_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v spend_v every_o day_n to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o choose_v whether_o we_o will_v set_v apart_o any_o time_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o hint_v page_n 90._o for_o first_o god_n have_v free_v we_o from_o that_o place_n of_o worship_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n unto_o which_o both_o jew_n and_o proselyte_n be_v enjoin_v to_o come_v up_o to_o worship_n which_o be_v in_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o now_o christ_n have_v make_v every_o place_n alike_o in_o that_o one_o place_n have_v no_o more_o legal_a or_o moysaicall_a sanctity_n than_o another_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o christian_n may_v abuse_v this_o liberty_n and_o choose_v whether_o they_o will_v meet_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o any_o place_n or_o no_o no_o more_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o christ_n have_v make_v all_o day_n alike_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o moysaicall_a sanctity_n that_o therefore_o we_o may_v choose_v whether_o we_o will_v keep_v any_o day_n at_o all_o again_o second_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o those_o moysaicall_a law_n which_o god_n make_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o legal_a ministry_n and_o have_v not_o enjoin_v we_o how_o much_o or_o how_o little_a the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v allow_v do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v choose_v whether_o we_o will_v allow_v they_o any_o thing_n or_o nothing_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v because_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o moysaicall_a institution_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o day_n that_o therefore_o we_o may_v choose_v whether_o we_o will_v observe_v any_o day_n or_o any_o time_n for_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v object_v that_o though_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o that_o kind_n of_o maintenance_n yet_o he_o have_v ordain_v that_o they_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n 1_o cor._n 9.1_o i_o answer_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o though_o he_o have_v take_v away_o those_o moysaicall_a observation_n of_o day_n and_o time_n yet_o we_o be_v under_o a_o command_n to_o observe_v a_o time_n to_o worship_n as_o well_o as_o a_o maintenance_n for_o minister_n my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n have_v teach_v all_o people_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o time_n to_o worship_n and_o serve_v their_o god_n for_o if_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v enjoin_v man_n to_o worship_n it_o do_v also_o enjoin_v they_o to_o observe_v some_o time_n in_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o worship_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o apostle_n argue_v in_o the_o forecited_a scripture_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o gospel-ministery_n show_v that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n teach_v that_o they_o which_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n ought_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o that_o they_o which_o plough_n shall_v plough_v in_o hope_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o hope_n the_o like_a reason_n if_o not_o much_o great_a he_o urge_v why_o they_o that_o sow_v spiritual_a thing_n shall_v partake_v of_o temporal_a thing_n so_o that_o though_o god_n have_v free_v we_o from_o that_o maintenance_n of_o minister_n and_o that_o place_n of_o worship_n that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n yet_o there_o remain_v a_o moral_a obligation_n upon_o we_o to_o observe_v some_o place_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o and_o also_o to_o provide_v a_o competent_a maintenance_n for_o those_o that_o administer_v spiritual_a thing_n unto_o we_o in_o like_a manner_n there_o remain_v a_o moral_a obligation_n upon_o we_o to_o observe_v a_o time_n to_o worship_n god_n though_o we_o be_v free_v from_o all_o those_o day_n and_o time_n that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o observe_v but_o 2._o this_o do_v not_o only_o appear_v from_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o from_o the_o scripture_n also_o which_o command_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o forsake_v the_o assemble_v of_o ourselves_o together_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o be_v heb._n 10.25_o now_o if_o we_o must_v frequent_v the_o assembly_n of_o god_n people_n than_o we_o must_v observe_v a_o time_n to_o worship_n or_o else_o we_o can_v observe_v the_o duty_n that_o be_v here_o enjoin_v for_o if_o we_o may_v choose_v whether_o we_o will_v observe_v any_o time_n of_o worship_n as_o the_o objection_n vain_o suppose_v than_o we_o can_v perform_v this_o duty_n of_o frequent_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n which_o appear_v be_v a_o duty_n not_o only_o command_v but_o practise_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n jam._n 2.2_o act._n 11.26_o 1_o cor._n 11.20_o 1_o

do_v have_v they_o not_o agree_v upon_o the_o place_n where_o and_o a_o time_n when_o to_o meet_v together_o so_o that_o if_o christian_n must_v meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n they_o must_v also_o observe_v a_o time_n in_o order_n thereunto_o and_o as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o a_o time_n and_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v for_o god_n worship_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o last_o

to_o observe_v that_o time_n for_o public_a worship_n therefore_o that_o time_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v observe_v then_o another_o for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n
