A30730	Sabbatikh ʻhmepa ʻhmepa ʻimepa, Septima dies, dies desiderabilis, sabbatum Jehovae the seventh-day-sabbath the desirable day, the closing completing day of that first created week, which was, is, and will be, the just measure of all succeeding weeks in their successive courses, both for working in the six foregoing days, and for rest in the seventh, which is the last day, by an unchangeable law of well-established order, both in the revealed word and in created nature. The second part / by Francis Bampfield.	Bampfield, Francis, 1615 or 16-1683.	1677 (1677)	Wing B628; ESTC R13923	284,270	156

of this holy Law of the ten Words particularly to be breakers of that Law of the Seventh-day Sabbath so that these Laws were well known to the Church and people of God by a long continued handing of them down by Posterity from Age to Age though practical Anomy or lawlessness had too much crept in and corrupted them of that Generation who neglected and broke them especially whilst bond-slaves in Egypt Afterwards when this Law was proclaimed and commanded at Mount Horeb where was a great mixture a miscellaneous multitude of Israelites and Gentiles who were present at that Mount and the stranger is expresly named in the very Letter of the Fourth Word or Command so that he also was under the obligation to yield obedience unto the Law of the Seventh day Sabbath The mind of man having by sin covered over with thick darkness ignorance errour and long di●use evil inclinations to Vice having much depraved and blinded the Understanding The LORD in words of his own mouth proclaimed this Law that it might be a manifest Testimony to mankind that natural Notions and Novelties of the Law concerning the difference between Good and Evil Duty and Sin were divinely ingrafted into the Nature of Mankind and were consentaneous unto this Eternal Rule of Holiness and of Righteousness which is in Aelohim He instaurs and restores the intire knowledge of his Will in his Law by this solemn promulgation that those old Letters of it which were much worn and defaced in the decayed Monuments of corrupt hearts might be more deeply ingraven and more plainly read again that what men had observed he by his own speaking Voice and writing Finger might rightly explain thus interposing his own Royal Authority to beget an inward testimony in their own consciences for the justness and equity of his holy righteous Law that all Mankind might be convinced of their sin and misery and might thereby be awakened to make out after a remedy otherwise they would be left altogether without excuse Upon the second of the Trumpets at Mount Sinai all Mankind was bound to make diligent inquiry after that which the LORD who is the King of Nations there spake so that they are all under his Law and are all bound thereunto being all concerned to take notice of the promulgation thereof by Royal Proclamation though more especially given forth at that place of Sinai It is not unworthy of serious consideration what a tonourous loud voice that was which not only all the Israelites did hear who yet were about six hundred thousand men a multitude that took up a great space of ground when Aelohim spake all the Words of the Decalogue This voice was also accompanied with a sound of Trumpets so exceeding loud as that the Lord could make all Mankind then alive to hear it such a sound shall go forth in the last day Besides all this what tempests were there at that solemnity what smoke what fire yea what thunderings and what an Earth-quake Such as might shake all the Inhabitants of the Earth at once and make them take notice of it For not only did Mount Sinai or Horeb quake greatly but that expression of Mount Sinai also doth shew that other parts of the Earth were shaken too The Earth was then shaken as the Earth shall be shaken at Christ's coming in the later days when all Nations shall be shaken or moved or made to tremble all and every one of them so shaken as the Heavens then will all of them at once All the Earth is bid to rejoyce at Jehovah's reigning which is described by his solemn giving of the Law which the Church is to rejoyce at and this is applyed unto Christ all the inhabited World was then enlightned all the Earth saw and trembled he then and their declared himself to be LORD of the whole Earth in giving forth this Kingly Law Thus this glorious Law-giver himself descended from Heaven with a shout his Charriot being twice ten thousand thousands of Angels the LORD being with them at Sinai in the Sanctuary and when he ascended to on high he led captive a Captivity he had taken Gifts unto Adam observe so is the Original word or in Adam which Paul doth explain to be men all Adam's posterity particularly from that time and also the rebellious to dwell with that God This Law universally concerneth all for in Christ all are one and whoever they were of the Heathen Nations that came into the Church of God in that day and were obedient unto all the Laws of Jehovah they had a part with Israel in all the holy things of God the Strangers themselves were under a Promise of having an allotted Inheritance in the Holy Land together with the Tribes of Israel There were the same privileges to the Obedient to the Stranger as to the Home-born The same judgments executed upon Transgressors of the Law of the Ten Words were he the one or the other All Nations under Heaven heard report of Israel and of the LORD 's appearing for them and giving them his holy Law Let the Reader further observe how it was afterwards when Solomon built the Temple at his dedicating of it he put the Stranger into his Prayer as well as the Israelite And this wise just Judge especially whilst his heart was right with the LORD judged according to this Law of the ten Words and the judicials annexed thereunto Solomon had his Dominion from Sea to Sea and from the River unto the ends of the Land they that dwelt in dry places kneeled before him and his Enemies licked the dust The Kings of Tharshish and of the Isles rendred an oblation the Kings of Sheba and Seba offered a present and all Kings bowed down to him all Nations served him he reigned over all Kingdoms who were someways under his subjection being herein a Type of Christ so that Solomon was a kind of Universal Monarch upon Earth ruling and governing by Jehovah's Laws Consider what the Office and Work of the Prophets was after Solomon's time even to preach Commentaries and Sermons upon this Law of the ten Words directing transgressors unto the Messiah to procure pardon and reconciliation And these Prophets especially some of them had not only the Israel of God put into their Embasse and Commission but also the Gentile Nations and Kingdoms and People let Jeremiah be one eminent instance of this when the LORD did set over the Nations and other the Kingdom according unto that Word which he brought or sent to them from Jehovah and according as they yielded obedience or not unto this Law of Jehovah so they were either built and planted or plucked up and broken down spoiled and destroyed All those Nations unto whom Jehovah sent Jeremiah with a word of Prophety were many not Jerusalem and Judah the Kings thereof the Princes thereof but also Pharaoh King of Egypt and his Servants and his Princes and

all his People and all the mingled People and all the Kings of the Land of Vz and all the Kings of the Land of the Philistines and Ashkelon and Azzah and Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod Edom and Moab and the Children of Ammon and all the Kings of Tyrus and all the Kings of Zidon and the Kings of the Isles which beyond the Sea Dedan and Tema and Buz and all that in the utmost corners and all the Kings of Arabia and all the Kings of the mingled people that dwell in the Desert and all the Kings of Zimri and all the Kings of Elam and all the Kings of Medes and all the Kings of the North far and near one with another and all the Kingdoms of the World which upon the face of the Earth and the King of Sheshach The LORD had a controversie with the Nations and he pleaded with all flesh with all men by this man's Ministery the cracking sound and the terrible noise whereof went East West North and South to the ends of the Earth and that strife in Judgement which the LORD had against them was because they transgressed this holy righteous just Law of his and were not the Gentiles also then under the obligation and direction of this Law Now that I am upon somewhat of the Historical part of this Narration let me here add some passages both before and after the time wherein Jeremiah did live Let us go back as far as Noah who found Grace in the Eyes of Jehovah who was a just man perfect in his Generations and who walked with God Jehovah himself giving of him this Testimony he was one who was intire in his obedience to all the Laws of God in his life and conversation and he was heir of the Justice or Righteousness which is by Faith and was a Preacher of the same Doctrine of Justification in the sight of God by Faith in the Messiah This Noah was the Father of those Nations and Peoples who after the Floud did multiply and spread and inhabit the Earth and by this means the Laws of Jehovah were made known throughout the world and thus also was the Church scattered and dispersed in several places more especially in the days of his Son Shem there were visible Church-societies and publick Church-meetings called The Tents of Shem. In and about Abraham's time who was also Father of many Nations in his Family the Church of God shined forth in its glorious lustre and comly beauty he was one of whom the LORD himself hath witnessed that he obeyed the voice of Jehovah and kept his Charge his Statutes and his Laws Jehovah knew him that he would command his sons and his house after him and they should keep the way of Jehovah to do Justice and Judgement Such care would he take to make known unto others the Commands of Jehovah And about Abraham's time Job and his friends were not strangers to the Laws of the LORD though dwelling a great way off in the Land of Vz off from Abraham they also had their Congregations for true pure Worship Job declaring against Idolatry and observing instituted times for solemn Worship and he answered for himself against the false accusations charged upon him by Eliphaz that his foot had held the right path of Jehovah his way did Job keep and not turn away and the Laws of his lips he did not cast off Job did lay up the Words of his Mouth more than his daily bread whereby it doth appear that those parts were not strangers to Jehovah's Laws those more particularly which in some respects are more the Laws of his Lips and the words of his Mouth Further full home to Moses's time and in his days we have foot-steps of the Laws of the true Religion even amongst those who were none of Israels off spring Balaam of Syria in Mesopotamia had a gift of Prophety and knew the Law of Jehovah and being a publick Teacher did spread the knowledge of it about in Assemblies Examine we the Captives of the LORD's People besides some other smaller scatterings There was one Captivity of the ten Tribes by Salmanassar King of Assyria who planted those Israelites in Hala and Habor by the River of Gozan and in the Cities of the Medes whither this great Conqueror and mighty Monarch did transplant them making them to dwell in places far remote from their own Land where they communicated the Knowledge of the Laws of Jehovah Here was a great dispersion of that Nation we find not that any considerable part of these ever returned to dwell again in their own Country being placed here by the Assyrian in Parthia Media and Persia there or thereabouts they still dwelt in the days of Christ and in the time of the Apostles Another Captivity was of the two other Tribes Judah and Benjamin by Nebuchadnezzer King of Babylon more than one hundred years after the former Israel was first in the Apostasie and yet Judah would not take warning At the seventy years end many of these two Tribes returned to Jerusalem and dwelt in their own Land again building again the Temple being encouraged thereto by Cyrus re-erecting their City and restoring their Common-wealth This also lasted till Christ's time and some years after yet many of the Jews staid behind in Babylon great numbers had well accommodated dwellings and were loath to leave their Habitations though in a stranger Land where Historians tell us they had their Academies Schools and Doctors these two were numerous dispersions beyond the River Euphrates A third Captivity by a Grecian King of divers after the return from Babylon whose off-spring were carried Captives into Egypt where that King reigned whom he planted in Alexandria and the places thereabouts who had their Synagogues there Let us take the account from Scripture Record A few Days a Week or thereabouts after Christ's Ascension there were met together of them at the Pentecosts Feast when men of several Nations Parthians and Medes and Elamites and dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judaea and Cappadocia in Poutus and Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia in Egypt and the parts of Lybia about Cyrene and stranger-Romans both Jews and Proselytes Cretes and Arabians devout men out of every Nation under Heaven observe every Nation under Heaven to that these dispersions were more or less in all Nations besides the last Captivity by Titus almost forty years after Christ's Ascension insomuch as that in almost every City of the Gentiles whither the Apostles travelled and came to preach Christ and the glad tydings of Salvation by him there were Jews who had their Synagogues James doth direct his Epistle to the twelve Tribes scattered abroad and Peter doth inscribe his unto those of the dispersion in Pontus Galatia Cappadocia Asia and Bithynia he salutes them from Babylon which was their Metropolis from all which put together it is evident that Jehovah's Laws were published throughout the inhabited

old corrupt Principles the old crooked Rules the old selfish ends the old bad Frames the old uutoward Actings the erroneous mistakes the formality in Worship the old unscriptural Traditions the old Sins the old man's Conversion and such like These do pass away and all things contrary to these are become new A whole new man The Apostle speaks of what is peculiar to the New Creature in Christ as such For as for the old ceremonious Rites and their passing away even those that were not new Creatures but were carnal Professors of Christianity yet had these things passing away and they were put under a new Administation the new dispensation of Grace had Ordinances now in a more spiritual heavenly way and manner The passing away of old things here is of old things so far as they stand in opposition to the new Creature and unto that new life in and to Christ which now the converted person should live That as Christ so loved his people as to dye and rise again for them so should those in Christ thus evidence their Love to Christ by living no longer to themselves but unto him crucifying the old man mortifying the sins and lusts of that old man and vivifying or quickning the new man which was true in the Types and Figures before Christ was come born of the Virgin Mary and which is still true now after that Christ is come and ascended up into Glory But all this doth make nothing as to the passing away of the Law of the ten Words in all of them or in any one the least of them This is a distinct fort of Laws from the Typical Figuring Shadowy Institutions The Law of the ten Words as it always has been so is it now and still will be the Rule of the new Creature in Christ Jesus For what in one place is called the new Creatures Rule in another speaking to the same case is the keeping of the Commandments of God In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor Uncircumcision but a new Creature And as many as walk according to this Rule Peace be on them and Mercy and on the Israel of God The Israel of old had no saving benefit barely by the outward sign of Circumcision whereas God's Israel then who had the sign and the thing signified too they had the Mercy and Peace who were new Creatures united to the Messiah by Faith working by Love who had their hearts circumcised to love Jehovah their God who had sin subdued and lust mortified And the uncircumcision under the new Dispensation was not of any good avail without the new Birth without conjunction to and communion with it and if the Regenerate the new Born the new Created would evidence and approve themselves to be such and to be in Christ they must obey him and keep his Commandments But what is all this to any change of the weekly Sabbath from the Seventh to the First Day of the Week To pass from one sort of Laws into another sort of Laws from the Law of figuring Types to the Law of the ten Words and to infer the passing away of any one of the Laws of the ten Words from the passing of Types into the Antitypes and of signifying Figures into their signified things is a transition from one kind to another a way of sophistical arguing of fallacious disputing captiously to over-reach the ignorant too credudulous vulgar and to defraud them of their right to the Truth As for that part of the Objection which doth speak of new Heavens and of new Earth pretended to be completed and finished on the Day of Christ's Resurrection from whence to conclude the passing away of the Seventh-day Sabbath to make room for a First-Day-weekly Sabbath it is so scriptureless so natureless so reasonless an inference that it should have been more preconsidered by this Arguer whether it do conclude and prove any thing but this that the Adversaries would fain have something or other that might carry a little colour and some shew with it if they know what For let it be pondered upon search and examination that all those places of Scripture which do speak of the new Heavens and the new Earth do relate to a further time for their full accomplishment than precisely to the Day of Christ's Resurrection That Prophesie in Isaiah hath an eye to the more large and spreading conversions of the two and ten Tribes in the latter days yet to come How was this then fulfilled on Christ's Resurrection-Day who of them was then converted what eminent new Creatorship was there then brought forth which might put any such signal remark upon the First Day of the Week as from thence to become the new weekly Sabbath When the most of the Disciples themselves did scarce believe him to be raised till after that Day was over And two Disciples with whom he had walked some Miles that Day had little belief of his Resurrection and little knowledge of him till he disappeared from them How few in comparison were brought in unto Christ and made new Creatures in all Christ's life time at his Death and Resurrection and forty Days after that till after his Ascension and after the pourings out of the Holy Spirit That forementioned Prophesie doth foretel that Nations shall be brought under the Jews Dominions when those new Heavens and new Earth shall appear This was not at the time of Christ's Resurrection-day nor ever since and they were then and have been since for sixteen hundred years or more so far Ruling over the Nations that they have been a scattered despised broken people without so much as any Political Kingly Government amongst themselves It foretels that those of Judah and of Israel should be gathered out of all Quarters East West North and South This also is behind yet unfulfilled That Euphrates would be dry Was this on Christ's Resurrection Day Or has it been since Is not this also yet to come upon their return to their own Land in the latter Days Will not their grand Enemy the Turk be then overthrown who has so long wrongfully possessed their Inheritance which when it is will be so great a work for the inhabited Earth to take notice of where the ear-report shall come or the eye-witnessing be that it will obscure the memory of former Acts. Another Prophesie by Isaiah doth fortel that at that time of the new Heavens and the new Earth the ten Tribes of Israel as well as the other two of Judah and of Benjamin shall according as to an express promise return home to their own Country and Land For Sharon was in Gilead which belonged to Manasseh The Valley of Achor was a parcel of the Tract of Jericho in the Tribe of Judah There will then be a new face of things in their glorious and blessed Renovation when there will be divers things accomplished which are not as yet fulfilled As

are said so instantly to serve God Those Countries which were far South where the inhabitants dwelt by the Main Sea as Ethiopia and Arabia dwelt in by the Posterity of Sheba and Seba the Nephew and Son of Cush the Son of Cham the Son of Moab the Queen of Sheba or of the South submitted to Solomon He had Dominion from the Salt Sea the Lake of Sodom to the main Sea the limits of Judaea from the River Euphrates which was Eastward from the River to the Land of the Philistins and to the border of Egypt The Ethiopian Deserts or dry places were subjected to him they bowed down their faces to the ground before him as is the manner in the Eastern Countries Here Christ was preached and his name was filiated that is Christians were there for as a Son continueth his Father name so was Christ's Name there continued in those that believe on him which name of Christians and of Children was long after revived under the New Testament and how were they Christians if they did not profess and practice obedience to Christ's Law of his ten Words Men of all Nations even in Solomon's time counted and spake of Blessedness in Christ in being brought under his Holy and Righteons Laws and in their subjection to him and to them All the Earth was filled with Christ's Glory and the Nations blessed the Name of his Glory Did not Solomon expect that these submitting Nations should receive Laws from the Messiah and was it a reason of any weight or force then to object against the Seventh-day Sabbath because of the different Horizons and Climates From Evening to Evening is the first great Natural measure of a long Day according to Primitive created Order A late Author has brought in some objections against this which do call for some answer The Artificial Day or Day-light saith he was anciently before Israels going out of Egypt counted the beginning or former part of the Natural Day and the Night the later part of the said Natural Day in that when the parts of the Natural Day are mentioned in Scripture before Israels coming out of Egypt the Morning was set before the Night and because at what time soever or hour of the Day-light the Scripture speaks of the following Night it speaks not of the Night as belonging to the Day following but as belonging to the day before going and because our Sunday-Sabbath saith he or LORD's day is the very same day of the week which was anciently observed by the Jews and Gentiles for the solemn day of their solemn weekly Worship beginning at the light part or morning of the day because Israels coming out of Egypt and after that by the Gentiles but Moses put back the account to begin the Sabbath-day at the evening before whereupon they so began their week-days also whereby their Sabbath-day was measured out unto them to be their Seventh-day otherwise their Seventh-day would not have been proportionable to their six days of labour and so Christ reassumed and brought forth all that day-light and put it to the next day with which together with the night following he made a new distinct day by rising early in the morning of that new made day and because the days of the first week of the Created World were creational extraordinary universal daies when it was day it was day over the universal World when it was night it was night every where over the whole Universe both in regard of the beginning and ending of the day and the night Thus he Whereas he doth affirm that when the parts of the natural day are montioned in Scripture before Israels coming out of Egypt the morning was set before the night let the History of the Creation in the beginning of the Bible be read and there it may be found expresly in the very Letter that the Evening is put before the Morning in every one of the six foregoing days of the week the Evening and the Morning were one day the Evening and the Morning were the Second day the Evening and the Morning were the Third day the Evening and the Morning were the Fourth day the Evening and Morning were the Fifth-day the Evening and the Morning were the Sixth day they were then so they have continued to be so they now are so and they ever will be so to the Worlds end as long as such Evenings and Mornings do last this Author endeavoureth to darken the clearness of this evidence by a bold asserting that Moses in writing the Book of Genesis after Israels coming out of Egypt when their day their natural day being to begin at Even did therefore also so set it down in his History of the Creation For saith he if Moses should have said the Morning Gen. 1. The morning and the evening was the first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh day putting the Morning before the Evening he might have seemed thereby to have disliked the said change appointed by God as aforesaid of making the evening the beginning of each day after their coming out of Egypt Thus he reasoneth and yet acknowledge that Moses was inspired by the appearance of God to him but this arguing doth carry no probation along with it they are not right words and so have no forcibleness with them would the Penmen of this Holy Writ which was dictated to him by the Holy Spirit speak and write quite contrary to the created Nature of Darkness and of Light lest he should seem to dislike a pretended charge Especially this Author saying though without proof that such a change was appointed by God was there any just cause and good reason for such a man of God to dislike any of God's appointments of all the Prophets that arose in Israel was there any like unto Moses whom Jehovah Aelohim knew face to face The things which Moses wrote were they his own No but the Law of the LORD by his hand Did not the after-Prophets bear witness to this Moses had not Moses Letters Testimonial from the LORD Jesus Christ himself and of All that he spake and wrote That which Moses said was it not the Commandment of God Hath not Christ willed y to hear this Moses which if any do not neither will they be perswaded though one rise from the dead What God spake unto Moses doth not God spake the same unto us that which Moses did say is it not as much as Moses wrote unto us Was not Moses faithful in all Christs house What would the Infallible holy Spirit dictate according to the disliking fears of man and not according to the true nature of created beings Whereas he further saith that at what time soever or hour of the day-light the Scripture speaks of the following night it speaks not of the night as belonging to the day following but as belonging to the day before going I answer that in those
