be done on the day Numb 28. 9. ●0 1 Chron. 23. Burnt-offerings and sacrifices unto the Lord in the Sabbaths in the new-Moons and so why do ye not observe the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices you that pretend to observe Sabbathes And why not new-Moons and the set Feasts according to the Commandment of the Lord continually before him for they that was to observe the Sabbath was to observe the sacrifices by their Numbers see 2 Chron. 2. Solomon that build an house to the Lord Dedicated to him and burnt before him sweet incense continually shew-bread with the burnt-offerings morning and Evening upon the Sabbaths and their new Moons and this was an Ordinance for ever to Israel And now if ye professe the Sabbath the children of Israels Sabbath and leave the burnt-offerings and the continual shew-bread ye may as well leave sabbaths as leave the work for this was the work of the sabbath and so ye that professe sabbaths ye may aswell well professe new-Moons and the solemn Feasts 2 Chron. 8. Solomon even after a certain rate every day offering according to the Commandment of Moses on the sabbath so ye that be chief Magistrates like Solomon that will have your sabbaths and bring not your offering ye must offer and so deny Christ come in the flesh the Covenant of God and the rest of his people for ye which makes such ado about sabbaths and persecuting others about sabbaths Neh. 10. see what was there The shew-bread continual meat-offerings continual burnt-offerings of the sabbaths and new Moons set Feasts so you that will have sabbaths must have the Jewish Law and the burnt-offerings and to maintain them else all people will laugh at you to cry up the one and not the other viz. the meat-offerings and burnt-offerings And was not those offerings held up by the Authority the higher Power so well as the sabbath the meat-offerings and burnt offerings so if ye hold up the one ye must hold up the other and so deny Christ come in the flesh And see in Ezek. 46. 4. The burnt-offerings that the Princes shall offer unto the Lord on the sabbath day shall be six Lambs without blemish and the meat-offering shall be an Ephah for a Ram c. Now here is the Princes work the Rulers and Magistrates that cry up a sabbath to offer six Lambs burnt-offerings c. so now ye Princes ye Magistrates ye Rulers where is your Lambs without blemish a figure of Christ to offer on the sabbath dayes which was a figure of Christ likewise a figure of the rest And why ye Magistrates and Teachers why have have ye the sabbath and not the offerings why not the one as well as the other What a doubting and discontented Religion is this and Jumbled and confused to take part and leave part so the Sabbath day and the Princes offering the Lambs upon it was before Christ came in the flesh A figure as ye may read and this is for the Magistrates and Princes that persecutes others about the Sabbath and yet they themselves do not according to the Sabbaths commands and Ordinances to bring the Rams and Lambs Jesus went up and down teaching on the Sabbath day the Apostles went up and down teaching on the sabbath day and we never read that the Jews and the Magistrates did persecute them which was the seventh day And they travelled up and down on the first day of the week which the Apostate Christians have given it the name of a sabbath day but have no Scripture for it we never find that they were fined and prisoned about the worship of God and service that they did on the seventh dayes or the sabbath dayes or the first dayes And do not the Jews persecute the Christians for not observing their offerings and their sabbath dayes Therefore saith the Apostle Let no man Judge you in meats and drinks or in respect of sabbath days for the body is Christ he was the substance for the will worshippers and intruders intrude into these things which they never saw but neglect the body and hold not the head But to the satisfying of the flesh run to the observing of dayes and so the flesh would live in the shadowes and not hold the head there is the worship and worshippers of Angels And ye never read that the Apostles spake to the Gentiles to bid them observe a sabbath and keep a sabbath we never read that any was persecuted for doing the thing that was good on the first day the eighth day after the sabbath But we read that they were stoned to death and put to death for working upon the sabbath day which is the seventh day which ye keep Markets and Fairs on and on that day doth most work And when there was a controversie amongst the Romans about dayes the Apostle saith one man esteems one day above another another esteems every day alike let every man therefore be fully perswaded in his own mind Mark here ye Teachers Professors and ye Magistrates the Apostle doth not tell ye that ye should fine him or imprison him but let every man be fully perswaded in his own mind And he that regardeth a day reregardeth it unto the Lord and he that regardeth not the day to the Lord regardeth it not see Rom. 14. 5. 6. Likewise he that eateth eateth to the Lord for he giveth God thanks and he that eateth not to the Lord he eateth not and giveth God thanks But why dost thou Judge thy brother and set him at nought about eating and about dayes And so we say to the Magistrates and Professors why do ye fine your Brethren about dayes Why do you Judge them and set them at nought let us not Judge therefore one another but rather judge that we put not a stumbling block before our brethren For the Kingdom of God stands not in meats and drinks nor in shadowes but in righteousness peace and joy in the holy Ghost now it cometh not with observation But follow the things of God which makes for peace and edifies which are out of shadowes and ends them And he that man or woman that doth esteem one day above another day must not judge him that doth not esteem a day and he that doth not regard a day but esteems every day alike must not judge him that doth esteem a day what first day sabbath day all alike must not such a man be fined and imprisoned or woman by that man that esteems one day above another Nay for the Doctrine is that every man be fully perswaded in his own mind and not to judge one another about dayes for the body is Christ And he that is come to him is come to the Wisdom of God that was before dayes was Ye observe dayes saith the Apostle Gal. 4. and Moneths and times years c. I am afraid of you least I have bestowed upon you labour in vain What is not the Apostles labour Epistles all
