A62538 The lasher proved liar, or, The beadles lash laid open in a short reply to a slight pamphlet ushered into the world with the scurrilous title of A lash for a lyar, discovering the vanity of William Jennison, with his ungodly abuse of Thomas Tillam, minister of Christs Gospell.

fourth which is grounded upon Act. 20. Lash p. 18.19 His Arguments from Christs appearing pag. 2. and blessing pag. 15. c. depend upon the beginning of the Scripture day which alwayes begins at Even Exo. 12.18.19 Deut. 16.46 and so Christs non-appearing till the first day at Even makes rather against it Jer. 6.14 and so doth the famous examples of Father Son and Saints for in stead of the honour Master Jennison would put upon it pag. 17.18 1. The Father wrought upon it Gen. 1. and therefore we should be his followers as dear children Eph. 5.1 2. The Son travelled upon it Luke 24.13.15 And he hath given us example that we should do as he hath done John 13.15 3. Lash pag. 12 The Saints cast their accounts upon it 1 Cor. 16.1 2. and so may we Master Jennisons apprehensions of the year of Jubile are altogether impertinent since it is evident it was the year of Christs first Preaching Luke 4.16 and not of his Resurrection Neither doth Johns being in the spirit in the Lords day shew what day that was Page 13. nor any more prove the first day the Saints meeting time then his being in the spirit in the Isle of Patmos can prove Patmos their meeting place As for succeding ages they do as much justifie Easter-day as the first day of the week and as much may be conjectured for the one as the other Page 14. 27 from Psal 118. one command is worth 10000 suppofitions Christs birth-day bids fairest for it Luk. 2.10 11. But Ioh. 8.56 carryes it If any can discern the Saints assembling in 1 Cor. Page 19. Page 20. 16. as Mr. Jennison suggests it must be by some other light then Gods word The day of Christs greatest power prophesied Psa 110.3 was the Apostles Pentecost Act 2. with Luke 24.49 Acts 1.8 Though Master Jennison cannot see why the seventh day from the words Creation should rather be mans holy rest day Page 22 then the seventh day from mans own Creation yet through grace I and others can Exod. 20.11 For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth and rested the seventh day wherefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it Mr. Lash p. 23 24. Jennisons Arguments against the certainty of the seventh day do equally strike at the certainty of his first day and to what end should he contend for any Sabbath if both were uncertain But my book of the Sabbath hath undoubted evidence of the seventh days certainty to which I refer my Reader where he shal not only find the certain day but the undoubted beginning of the day not at Master Iennisons midnight morning but the sixth day Evening Pag. 25. 35. Levit. 23 32. for doubtless our glorious Creator had finished his work before midnight yea the very ceremoniall Sabbaths because honoured with the Title of Sabbaths were to be celebrated from Even to Even which begins and ends at Sun-set Lash pag 36. Mar. 1.32 Deut. 16.6 as is fully evident from plain Scripture which needs no consequence to confirm it yet do I not deny a fair deduction from Scripture but do utterly deny the setting up a first-day Sabbath by conceited consequence against the true seventh day Sabbath confirmed by clear command Or that any Ordinance of Christ was ever Instituted by consequence I shall never be condemned for omitting what was never commanded 1 Joh. 3.4 Rom. 4.15 as first day and Infant Baptism For sin is the transgression of some Law and where no Law is no transgression It is not so as Master Jennison asserts Lash p. 25.26 That if the seventh day appointed in the Royal Law be the Christian Sabbath that then all the Ordinances appropriated by the beggerly Ceremonial Law are still to be observed He that appointed double sacrifices for the Sabbath day as a Sabbath day enjoyned single sacrifices for week dayes as weekes dayes and as soon shall the week dayes cease to be week dayes as Jehavah's Sanctified seventh day shall cease to be the Saints Sabbath day Isay 66.21 Mal. 3 3. Isai 56.6.7 Heb. 10.5.6.7 and 13.16 Rev. 5.8 and as soon shall the mountain of Gods house be melted because made up of Priests and Levites as G●ds Sabbath shall be subdued because mentioned with burnt-offerings and sacrifices He that accepts their persons for a Royal Priesthood will graciously own their Saviour and services for burnt-offerings and sacrifices And Mr. Lash page 27. Jennison may one day understand that Christ was never more active then in and after death Col. 2.14 15. And that when God brought his Son into the world then all the Angels did worship him Luke 2.14 Math. 4.11 But Heb 1 6 speaks not of his resurrection day nor Psa 118. of every first day of the weeke Page 28. nor were the disciples in a hopelesse condition till the first day was almost and altogether ended Luke 24. Lash pag. 29. Mark 16.13 14. As for Heb. 4. I have faithfully expounded it in my book of the Sabbath and whereas Mr. Jennison saies the word Sabbatism denoteth not any dayes rest Mr. Carter in his covenant will tell him it denotes the first day and I suppose he knowes the originall as well as Mr. Jennisons instructers But let the Lexicons and Dictionaries be examined whose authors were equally ignorant of the true Sabbath and they will inform that the word Sabbatism signifies the Celebration of the Sabbath or a day of rest But Mr. Jennison is quite mistaken in applying to the rest mentioned in the other verses Lash p. 31 Heb. 7.27 9.26 10.10 for they are all of them an other different greek word and it is utterly untrue that he saies Christs sufferings ceased not at his death and that the holy womans celebrating Sabbath was not after Christs sufferings Luke 23. for when he once died he bequeathed his spitit to God and entred into rest Luke 23.46 Act. 2.26 If the 4th commandement be given to the Gentiles as Mr. Iennison confesseth I am sure it commanded nothing but the sanctifying of the 7th day Sabbath which is to continue for ever and ever Lesh p. 32. and 32. Ps 111.7 8. Mat. 5.18 even till heaven and earth passeth away and so was it never said of circumcision nor first fruits As to that of Col. 2.14.16 I am sure it doth not so much as mention the seventh day if it oppose any thing in the 4 th commandement it must be the Sabbath it selfe which Mr. Jennison will not say But I have fully proved it toucheth not the Royall seventh day Sabbath at all which Mr. Jennison doth not answer Lash p. 34. As to Mr Ienisons assertion that the day begins with morning he doth not onely oppose New-England principles but the order of God himselfe Gen. 1 who placed the evening before the morning And Mark 14.30 is pregnant for it for the
