A14213	A verie profitable and necessarie discourse concerning the obseruation and keeping of the Sabboth day seruing as well to confute the superstition of the Iewes, which obstinately vrge the strict keeping of the seuenth day, as also to ouerthrowe the vaine and godlesse reasons of others, that stiffely at this day maintaine, that Christians ought to keepe no set or appoynted time to worship and serue the Lord in, in his church and faithfull congregation. Written in Latine by Zacharias Vrsinus, sometimes reader of the diuinitie lecture in the Vniuersitie of Heidelberg in Germanie, and very nevvly turned into English, by Iohn Stockvvood schoolemaster of Tunbridge.

the which I giue vnto you then the land shall keepe a Sabboth vnto the Lord. Sixe yeares thou shalt sowe thy ground c. but in the seauenth yeare there shall be a Sabboth of rest vnto the land a Sabboth vnto the Lorde thou shalt not sowe thy field nor cut thy vineyard And Chap. 26. Then the land shall finish her Sabbothes all the daies in which she hath bene desolate and wast because she rested not in your Sabboths whilest ye dwelled in her Fifthlie by this word Sabboth is vnderstoode spirituall rest that is to say A Spiritual Sabboth ceasing from sinne or the leauing off of our owne workes and the execution or dooing of the workes of God that is of such as are by him commaunded vnto vs and doo appertaine vnto his worship and glorie This spirituall Sabboth is begun in this life in them that are conuerted and is finished in the life euerlasting and is termed a Sabboth or rest both because this is indeede a true rest from labours and miseries and our hallowing and dedicating vnto the worshippe of God and also because that in times past it was signified by the ceremonial Sabboth Heb. 4. There is therfore lefte some rest vnto the people of GOD. For hee that is entered into his rest rested also himself from his works as God rested from his Let vs studie therfore to enter into that rest c. Ies 66. And it shall come to passe that from moneth to moneth and from Sabboth vnto Sabboth all flesh shall come worship before me sayth the Lord. With this commandement agreeth the 1.2 ● signification of the vvorde Sabboth Out of these significations of the word the first and the second haue place in this cōmandement as cōcerning the wordes the fifth by an allegorie This also doth the manner of the figures shew in the ordeining of the which God will alwayes haue their signification to bée vnderstoode and obserued And Esayas chapter 28. If thou tourne awaie thy foote from the Sabboth that thou doe not thine owne will on mine holie daie and call the Sabboth thy delight that it be holie honourable vnto the Lord and shalt honour it that thou doo not thine owne wayes that thine own will be not found and that thou finde not a word And therefore with a vehemencie he saith as of a thing most straightlie commaunded Remember that thou keepe holie the Sabboth daie that is that with greate care and religion thou hallowe it And Exod. 31. Hée commaundeth him to be put to death which shall breake the Sabboth Also Ezech 20. and 22. When as he complaineth of the corruption of the whole worshippe of God he sayth that the Sabboth is broken of which straightnesse in requiring of the kéeping of the Sabboth there are euidentlie apparant two causes especiallie The one for that the neglecting of the ministerie of the Church doeth verie easilie corrupt and blot out the doctrine and worshippe of GOD The other for that by the straight requiring of the figuratiue Sabboth GOD woulde declare the greatnesse and necessitie of the thing signified to wit of the spirituall Sabboth The same may bée vnderstoode by the ende of the ceremoniall and morall commandement touching the Sabboth For GOD will haue the externall or outwarde Sabboth to serue vnto the beginning and finishing in vs of the spirituall Sabboth Hée will not therefore haue that obserued and kepte without this Finallie héereby this same is manifest in that he commaundeth the Sabboth to bée hallowed that is not to bée spent in lasie idlenes but to haue sinne to be auoyded and holy workes to be done therein VVhat it is to keep holy the Sabboth For God is sayd to halow the Sabboth because he appoynteth it vnto the worship of God men also are commanded to halow it that is to say to apply it vnto that ende wherevnto it is ordeined by God or to doo those things the which God hath cōmanded in the same to be done Héerevnto apperteyneth that he saith that it is a Sabboth vnto the Lord that is dedicated vnto his worship Sixe daies of vvorke And therefore appointing sixe dayes for other labours and the seuenth vnto the worship of God his meaning is not that the other dayes the worship of God and thinking vppon the workes of God should be omitted or lefte off For it is said Deut. 6. and 11. Thou shalt rehearse them vnto thy sonnes and shalt speake of them whē as thou shalt sit in thine house and when as thou shalt walke by the way and when as thou shalt lye in thy bed and when thou shalt arise And Psalme 1. His pleasure is in the lawe of the Lord Tvvo things required 1 and hee meditateth and studieth thereon daye and night But he requireth these two things the first that on the Sabboth daye not onelie the priuate as at other times 2 On the Sabboth the works of our ordinarie calling ought to cease but also the publike worship of God be exercised in the Church the other that at that time other labours which on other daies euerie man doth exercise according vnto his vocation calling should giue place as well vnto the priuate as publike worship of God Yet Iewish superstition is to bée taken héede off It is lavvful on the Sabboth to doo vvorks the vvhich do not hinder the exercise of the ministerie the which also Christ in the Gospell doth often confute namelie that it was vnlawfull on the Sabboth daye to doe anie workes appertaining vnto the necessitie of their owne lyfe or the life of others for it appeareth by the end of the commaundement that onelie seruile workes or such as hinder the exercise of the ministerie are forbidden by God and not such as doe not hinder the publike worshippe of God or else doe further nourish and set forth the same So Math. 12. Christ defendeth his Disciples plucking the e●res of corne on the Sabboth daie to driue awaie hunger healeth him that had a withered hand Luke 13. Healeth a woman that had béene sicke 18. yeares And Chapter 14. Healeth one sicke of the dropsie Iohn 5. Healeth one that had an infirmitie 38. yeares and biddeth him carrie awaie his bed And Mathew 12. Luke 14. sayth That without anie sinne on the Sabboth daie cattell or beastes falling into a ditch are thence drawen out and Luke 13. That cattell are loosed and driuen to water And Iudas Machabeus fought on the Sabboth that there might be some to kéepe the Sabboth 2. Machab. 15. And of this and such like acts two reasons are giuen 1. Machab. 2. If we so do as our brethren haue done that wee fight not against the Gentiles for our life religion they will now on a sodaine driue vs out of the land Therefore they appointed within thēselues within with these words what mē so euer shall by battaile set vpon vs on the Sabboth daie we wil fight with them least we

Your W. most humble Iohn Stockwood Schoolemaster of Tunbridge A RIGHT GODlie and learned exposition vpon the fourth Commandement concerning the Sabboth and right vse of the same The fourth Commandement REmember that thou keepe holie the Sabboth daie Sixe daies shalt thou worke and doe all thy worke but the seauenth daie there shall bee a Sabboth vnto the Lord thy God Thou shalt doe no worke neither thou nor thy sonne nor thy daughter nor thy seruaunt nor thy maide nor thy cattell nor the straunger which is within thy gates For in sixe daies the Lord made heauen earth the sea and whatsoeuer are in them and rested the seauenth daie and therefore he blessed the seauenth daie and hallowed it The exposition THere are two parts of this lawe the commandement the reason of the same And again there are two parts of the cōmandement of the which the one is morall or euerlasting namelie that the Sabboth be hallowed What is morall for euer in this cōmaundement What is ceremoniall for a time that is to saie that some certaine time be appointed for the ministerie of the Church or publike worshippe of God The other is ceremoniall and for a time namelie that this time shuld be the seuenth daie and that in it should be obserued and kept the ceremonies of the Leuiticall lawe And that this part is for a time and the other euerlasting we doe vnderstand by the end of the commaundement and causes of both these parts The ende of the cōmaundement The Ministerie The end of the commaundement is the publike praising of God in the congregation or the conseruation or maintenance and vse of the ministerie of the Church which is an office ordained by God to teach the Church concerning God and his will out of the word of God deliuered by the Prophets and Apostles and to minister the sacraments according to the ordinaunce of God And God would haue at all times of the world that there shuld be publique assemblies of the Church in the which should sound true doctrine concerning God for these causes especially The first that in mankinde God might be praised and called vpon Causes of ordeining the ministerie not onely priuately but also with the publike voyce of the Church in this life Psalm 68. In the Congregations blesse ye the Lord. The second that the publike and ordinarie preaching of doctrine the rehearsing of prayers and thankes-giuing and vsing of ceremonies might be an exercise stirring vp and fostering faith and godlinesse as the which without exercises by reason of our infirmitie and weakenesse doth very easely were colde Ephes 4. He hath giuen some Apostles others Prophetes others Euangelists others Pastors and Doctors vnto the worke of the ministerie vnto the edifying of the bodie of Christ vntill we all come vnto the knowledge of the Sonne of GOD

do wish well vnto the faithful ministers of the church not onely in respect of the dutie of loue but also in regard of the ministerie which they execute Psal 84. How amiable are thy Tabernacles O Lord of hostes My soule longeth yea and fainteth for the Courtes of the Lord my heart my flesh reioyce in the liuing God Psal 122. I reioyced with them that sayd vnto me we will goe into the house of the Lord. Also For my bretheren sake I will now speake peace of thee because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good Thirdly obedience in those thinges 3 Obediēce which appertaine vnto the ministerie Hebr. 4. Obey your Rulers Hethertoo appertaine the workes of loue towardes God and towards our neighbor that is the whole life of a Christian which is the spirituall Sabboth For it is nothing els to kéepe a spirituall Sabboth To keepe a spiritual Sabboth then in the ordering of our life to obey the voyce of God sounding by the ministerie of the Church For God will haue the doctrine learned to this ende that it may be obeyed Iam. 1. Performe ye the word in deed and be not hearers onely deceiuing your selues because if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer he shall be compared vnto a man beholding the countenance of his birth in a glasse for hee hath behelde himselfe and went his waye and by and by forgetteth what manner one he was And for as much as he will haue this Sabboth to be kepte all our life time hée will haue the examples and testimonies of the same especially to be shewed forth on the outward or ceremoniall Sabboth day that is at those times which are appoynted for the teaching and learning of the word of God He that hath no care to serue the Lord on the Sabboth day vvill not serue him at other times For if a man al the time doo not shewe foorth a desire to obey God when as the doctrine ringeth in his eares and when as other cares being laid aside God will haue vs to thinke vpon godlynesse and repentance he sufficiently declareth that he will not doo it at another time There it hath alwayes bene the manner in the Church on the Sabboth day to giue almes to exercise the workes of loue towardes the néedie Nehem. 8. Send parts vnto him for whom nothing is prepared because it is an holy daye vnto our Lord. God himselfe also doth witnesse Deut. 5. that he will haue the Sabboth kept that rest maye be giuen to seruaunts and to our familie least that with the continuaunce of laboures they should be too much brought downe And 1. Corinth 16. Furthermore as concerning the gathering for the Saintes as I haue appoynted vnto the Churches of Galatia so doo yee also Euerie first daye of the weeke let euerie one of you laye a side with himselfe laying vp that which thorough the gentlenesse of GOD he maye And Actes 2. all these works of the Sabboth are ioyntly expressed together The Disciples were abiding in the doctrine of the Apostles and in fellowshippe and breaking of bread and prayers Fourthlye 4 Thankfulnesse honour comprehendeth also Thankfulnesse that is duties concerning the preseruation of the Ministerie and Ministers For if GOD will haue a Ministerie to be in the Church hée will also that euerye one according to their abilitie doo further the maintenaunce of the same that is that they bestowe theyr money and trauayle vpon the nourishing and defending of godly Ministers and teachers Hethertoo appertaine the lawes of Moses concerning the first borne first fruits tenthes and very many offerings the which were appointed vnto the Priestes Leuites in steade of a stipend wherewithall to maintaine the life of them and theirs that they might attend vppon the ministerie Albeit the circumstaunces of these lawes be abolished taken awaie yet the generall remaineth for euer because God will haue the ministerie preserued euen vntill the end of the worlde Deu. 12. Take heed vnto thy selfe that thou forsake not the Leuite all thy daies vppon thy land 1. Cor. 9. Who goeth on warfare at anie time vpon his owne charges Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof Or who feedeth a flocke and eateth not of the milke of the flocke Doth not the lawe also saie these things For it is written in the lawe of Moses Thou shalt not musle the mouth of the Oxe that treadeth out the corne Also If we haue sowen vnto you spirituall things is it a great matter if we reap your fleshlie things Again Are ye ignorant that they which serue about holie thinges doe eate of the thinges which are of the altar And they that serue at the altar doe take parte of the altar So the Lord hath ordeined that they which preach the Gospell should liue of the Gospell 1. Tim. 5. The elders which doe rule well let them be counted worthie of double honour especiallie those that do labour in the word and in doctrine For the Scripture saith Thou shalt not musle vp the mouth of the Oxe that treadeth out the corne And the worke-man is worthie of his hire Math. 10.

Of Obadiah sauing the Prophets whome Iezabel did persecute 1. King 18. Of the Church of Damascus letting downe Paule by the wall Acts. 9. In this part of the honour towardes the ministerie is also conteined the maintenaunce of schooles Schooles inasmuch as without the studies of learning and arts men are neither fit to teach neither can the puritie of doctrine be preserued and defended against Heretikes Therefore Christ Math. 11. promiseth a reward vnto those the which for the furtherance and imparting of doctrine do well vnto those which doe either alreadie teach or which are in time to come to teach or whose trauaile doth serue or shall héereafter serue for the preseruation of doctrine 5 Gentlenesse tovvardes the infirmities of ministers Fiftlie and lastlie vnto this honour of the ministerie is also required vprightnes or gentlenesse in bearing with the infirmities of the ministers the which doe not notoriouslie or manifestlie corrupt or forslow their office hurt the Church with offence 1. Tim. 5. Receiue not an accusation against an Elder but vnder two or three witnesses Cōtraries repugnant vnto the vvorkes of the Sabboth Forasmuch then as this is the sanctifiing or hallowing of the Sabboth it followeth that the thinges wherewith the Sabboth is prophaned or broken are contrarie vnto these workes Against the teaching of doctrine is set the leauing or forslowing of the duetie of teaching 1 Vnto doctrine either priuatelie or publiklie Esa 56. All her watch-men are dumbe dogges which are not able to barke sleeping taking their ease verie diligent

Corinth 2. For wee doe not as manie make merchaundise of the woorde of GOD but wee speake of Christ as of sinceritie as of GOD in the sight of God Against the administration of the Sacramentes is either the leauing or foreslowing of the exhortation of the Church to vse the Sacramentes 2 Vnto the administration of the Sacramēts or an vnlawfull admistration when as some thing is either taken from the ceremonies ordeined by God or when some thing is changed in them or when as such are shut out frō the Sacraments as ought to be receiued or such receiued which by the ordinance of God ought to be kept frō them or when as the people are not instructed concerning the right vse of them 3 Against the desire to learne doctrine Against the desire to learne doctrine is the contempt neglecting of doctrine that is either not to be present at holie Sermons when there is no lawfull cause to let vs and on the Sabboth to doe workes that might be put off vntill another time or to giue no eares vnto holie Sermons or not to meditate and search the doctrine of the Church but especiallie negligence to knowe the doctrine in the ministers or in those which by God are called vnto the studie of doctrine and either ought one daie to serue vnto the setting forth of doctrine or haue greater occasion and opportunitie to learne the same then others Numb 16. He that gathereth stickes Death appointed for the Sabboth breakers He that gathered sticks on the Sabboth daie is stoned to death And Exod 31. Paine of death is set down against them that on the Sabboth doe works hindering the ministerie Nehem 13. They that doe such workes on the Sabboth are verie sharplie chidden Math. 13.

Search not vnconsideratlie after thinges that are more hard then thou art able to attaine vnto and concerning things that are aboue thy power foolishlie seeke not after them The thinges that are commaunded thee of God the same studie thou holilie vpon For it is not needfull for thee to beholde with thine eyes the thinges that are secret the things that are not necessarie but superfluous vnto thy talke meddle not curiouslie with them For mo thinges are opened vnto thee then the wit of man is able to comprehend 1.

If thou blesse in spirite he which occupieth the roome of an ignorant person how shall hee say Amen vnto thy giuing of thankes For he knoweth not what thou saist For thou giuest thankes well but another is not edified In like manner also is against the vse and exercise of the whole ministerie not onely the particular leauing of duetie in euerie priuate person but by his example or any manner of hinderance by his commaundement or perswasion the calling away of his children familie or others from the vse and exercise of the same 6 Vnto the honor of the ministerie Vnto the honour of the Ministerie the contempt and despising of the same is cōtrarie whereby either the ministerie of of the Church is abolished and taken away or is committed vnto vnworthye persons or is denied to be the instrument the which God will vse for the gathering together of his Church or when as the ministers are reproched 1.
