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.	Smith, John, Rector of St. Mary's in Colchester.	1683 (1683)	Wing S4110; ESTC R3081	78,815	242

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 than_o any_o other_o reform_a church_n do_v and_o that_o which_o incline_v i_o the_o rather_o to_o follow_v her_o conduct_n through_o my_o whole_a tract_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v this_o because_o 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 precept_n be_v saturday_n and_o not_o as_o our_o church_n teach_v sunday_n and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v follow_v our_o church_n clew_n they_o will_v have_v find_v the_o way_n out_o of_o those_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 those_o austerity_n about_o which_o there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o wrangle_v among_o modern_a writer_n 3._o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o new_a gospel-precept_n for_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o sunday-sabbath_n and_o that_o

it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o create_v and_o make_v for_o the_o understanding_n whereof_o and_o apply_v it_o for_o the_o support_n of_o a_o

rest_v upon_o the_o seventh-day_n and_o therefore_o sanctify_v it_o to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n by_o his_o precept_n to_o adam_n see_v that_o their_o appoint_v state_v day_n for_o such_o worship_n

of_o the_o altar_n to_o live_v upon_o but_o the_o remainder_n of_o oblation_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n see_v all_o oblation_n of_o beast_n and_o fowl_n be_v whole_a burnt-offering_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a question_n to_o ask_v what_o become_v of_o the_o remainder_n of_o such_o sacrifice_n and_o see_v also_o that_o man_n be_v then_o confine_v to_o

far_o from_o prevent_v the_o suppose_a mistake_n as_o it_o necessary_o lead_v to_o it_o for_o read_v the_o text_n thus_o they_o depart_v from_o elim_n and_o come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n the_o fifteen_o day_n and_o this_o point_v make_v their_o departure_n from_o elim_n and_o come_v into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o have_v be_v on_o the_o same_o day_n the_o first_o be_v the_o

no_o place_n but_o refer_v the_o fifteen_o day_n to_o their_o murmur_a not_o march_v and_o both_o the_o extreme_a term_n of_o their_o march_n stand_v firm_a and_o there_o be_v space_n enough_o betwixt_o they_o leave_v for_o their_o intermediate_v encamp_v at_o the_o red-sea_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o remove_v from_o london_n and_o come_v to_o york_n the_o 15_o day_n of_o
