A88550	The Lord's-day to be kept holy Asserted in a familiar conference betwixt two friends about the unlawfulness of exercising their trades or ordinary callings on that day. Published for the use of ignorant people, to prevent the prophanation of that holy day. Licens'd, July 19. 1694. Edward Cooke·		1694 (1694)	Wing L3060C; ESTC R224912	8,431	16

the_o lordsday_n that_o do_v not_o move_v the_o good_a man_n or_o make_v he_o mistrust_v god_n providence_n and_o as_o god_n love_v to_o reward_v his_o servant_n in_o a_o visible_a manner_n so_o in_o this_o case_n to_o let_v the_o besotted_a world_n see_v what_o happiness_n they_o miss_v in_o not_o serve_v he_o for_o the_o scene_n here_o soon_o alter_v and_o in_o a_o little_a time_n his_o customer_n begin_v to_o come_v again_o in_o great_a number_n than_o they_o go_v away_o and_o he_o have_v so_o great_a a_o trade_n on_o the_o weekday_n that_o himself_o say_v he_o desire_v no_o great_a so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v i_o may_v have_v give_v a_o full_a account_n of_o this_o good_a man_n but_o it_o will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o of_o our_o time_n at_o present_a s._n true_o mr._n b._n i_o wish_v there_o be_v more_o such_o man_n as_o this_o you_o speak_v of_o for_o indeed_o he_o have_v a_o better_a faith_n than_o i_o have_v b._n true_o your_o wish_n be_v good_a but_o wish_v will_v not_o do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n therefore_o strive_v to_o make_v yourself_o what_o you_o desire_v other_o to_o be_v and_o in_o this_o degenerate_a age_n show_v yourself_o a_o example_n to_o other_o for_o god_n delight_v in_o a_o freewill_n offer_n and_o expect_v his_o servant_n shall_v wait_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o difficulty_n if_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o time_n to_o consider_v his_o wage_n be_v infinite_o beyond_o our_o labour_n our_o task_n be_v short_a but_o our_o rest_n will_v be_v long_o and_o the_o reward_n of_o obedience_n will_v be_v great_a though_o the_o besotted_a world_n will_v not_o see_v it_o s._n it_o be_v something_o strange_a if_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o sin_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o of_o alehouse_n tavern_n and_o coffeehouse_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o frequent_v and_o they_o not_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o sin_n though_o some_o of_o they_o be_v count_v honest_a men._n b._n it_o be_v strange_a as_o you_o say_v that_o so_o many_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o not_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sin_n though_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v they_o do_v but_o their_o interest_n keep_v they_o from_o believe_v in_o good_a earnest_n however_o if_o they_o can_v or_o will_v not_o see_v their_o sin_n that_o be_v no_o example_n for_o you_o and_o i_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o though_o ten_o thousand_o do_v it_o that_o do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o sin_n you_o see_v some_o hundred_o will_v cozen_v and_o swear_v and_o be_v drink_v yet_o all_o this_o while_n the_o sin_n be_v great_a for_o it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o inhabit_v the_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o so_o here_o the_o commandment_n be_v plain_a for_o on_o the_o lord's-day_n thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o manner_n of_o work_n except_o work_n of_o necessity_n mercy_n or_o charity_n neither_o thou_o and_o thy_o son_n and_o thy_o daughter_n thy_o manservant_n and_o thy_o maidservant_n and_o thy_o cattle_n and_o the_o strange_a that_o be_v within_o thy_o gate_n for_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o aggravate_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o be_v do_v by_o a_o multitude_n which_o we_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v to_o do_v evil._n and_o though_o you_o think_v some_o of_o they_o honest_a man_n that_o do_v so_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v carnal_a and_o if_o so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o the_o carnal_a man_n can_v conceive_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n neither_o do_v he_o know_v they_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v you_o will_v find_v all_o good_a man_n in_o every_o age_n have_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o sin_n and_o some_o hundred_o have_v write_v against_o it_o also_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v level_v against_o it_o but_o i_o wish_v they_o be_v put_v more_o in_o execution_n against_o all_o those_o man_n that_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o our_o gracious_a queen_n do_v send_v a_o letter_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o middlesex_n i_o believe_v you_o may_v remember_v it_o to_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o profane_v the_o lord's-day_n and_o other_o sin_n and_o in_o the_o order_n which_o the_o justice_n put_v out_o they_o be_v to_o punish_v all_o person_n that_o frequent_v either_o alehouse_n tavern_n or_o coffeehouse_n as_o well_o out_o of_o divine_a service_n as_o in_o and_o that_o none_o shall_v expose_v their_o good_n to_o sale_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n this_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o friend_n of_o i_o who_o be_v walk_v along_o the_o street_n at_o that_o time_n and_o see_v a_o woman_n expose_v her_o fruit_n and_o herb_n to_o sale_n he_o speak_v to_o she_o of_o the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o it_o and_o tell_v she_o she_o ought_v to_o go_v to_o church_n and_o serve_v god_n the_o woman_n reply_v she_o take_v more_o money_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n than_o any_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o she_o can_v not_o live_v if_o she_o do_v not_o do_v it_o my_o friend_n say_v he_o to_o the_o good_a woman_n if_o you_o will_v but_o keep_v the_o lord's-day_n as_o you_o ought_v and_o not_o sell_v your_o thing_n on_o that_o day_n but_o shut_v up_o your_o cellar_n and_o go_v to_o church_n and_o serve_v god_n and_o when_o you_o come_v home_o spend_v your_o time_n in_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n use_v prayer_n and_o render_v praise_n to_o he_o for_o all_o his_o mercy_n in_o so_o do_v you_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o god_n will_v be_v infinite_o kind_a and_o send_v a_o blessing_n upon_o your_o labour_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o week_n which_o you_o can_v expect_v while_o you_o make_v a_o market-day_n of_o his_o sabbath_n the_o woman_n accept_v of_o his_o counsel_n take_v in_o her_o thing_n shut_v up_o her_o door_n and_o go_v to_o church_n my_o friend_n call_v upon_o the_o poor_a woman_n some_o time_n after_o and_o she_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v he_o and_o thank_v he_o for_o his_o good_a advice_n say_v she_o have_v find_v his_o word_n true_a for_o ever_o since_o she_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath-day_n she_o sell_v more_o thing_n on_o mondays_n and_o tuesdays_n than_o before_o she_o use_v to_o do_v all_o the_o week_n s._n your_o friend_n i_o think_v do_v very_o well_o i_o wish_v other_o will_v do_v the_o same_o for_o this_o story_n of_o you_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o book_n that_o i_o have_v of_o sir_n matthew_n hales_n where_o he_o say_v something_o to_o this_o effect_n if_o i_o be_o not_o mistake_v if_o you_o please_v i_o will_v fetch_v the_o book_n and_o read_v that_o passage_n to_o you_o b._n i_o pray_v do_v if_o it_o be_v not_o too_o great_a a_o trouble_n for_o you_o s._n the_o passage_n be_v this_o it_o be_v in_o a_o letter_n to_o his_o child_n because_o i_o have_v by_o long_a and_o sound_a experience_n find_v that_o the_o due_a observance_n of_o this_o day_n meaning_n the_o lord's-day_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o it_o have_v be_v of_o singular_a comfort_n and_o advantage_n to_o i_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v prove_v so_o to_o you_o god_n almighty_a be_v lord_n of_o our_o time_n and_o lend_v it_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v but_o just_a we_o shall_v consecrate_v this_o part_n of_o that_o time_n to_o he_o so_o i_o have_v find_v by_o a_o strict_a and_o diligent_a observation_n that_o a_o due_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n have_v ever_o have_v join_v to_o it_o a_o blessing_n upon_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o time_n and_o the_o week_n that_o have_v so_o begin_v have_v be_v bless_v and_o prosperous_a to_o i_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o i_o have_v be_v negligent_a of_o the_o duty_n of_o this_o day_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o week_n have_v be_v unsuccessful_a and_o unhappy_a to_o my_o own_o secular_a employment_n so_o that_o i_o can_v easy_o make_v a_o estimate_n of_o my_o success_n in_o my_o own_o secular_a employment_n the_o week_n follow_v by_o the_o manner_n of_o my_o pass_v of_o this_o day_n and_o this_o i_o do_v not_o write_v light_o or_o inconsiderable_o but_o upon_o a_o long_a and_o sound_a observation_n and_o experience_n because_o i_o find_v in_o the_o world_n much_o looseness_n and_o apostasy_n from_o their_o duty_n people_z begin_v to_o be_v cold_a and_o careless_a in_o it_o allow_v themselves_o sport_n and_o recreation_n and_o secular_a employment_n in_o it_o without_o any_o necessity_n which_o be_v a_o sad_a spectacle_n and_o a_o ill_a presage_n
