we couenant will haue vs bound it is an absurd thing that we should be compelled to performe those things which God requireth not but refuseth to be done The Papists therefore are too obstinat in the defence of their Monasticall life abusing thereunto manie places of the Scripture Impure also and filthy is that PIGHIVS and CAMPEGIVS who teach that is better for him who hath vowed chastity to haue a hundred Concubines one after another then to marry one lawefull wife whereas the Apostle doth perswade them that haue not the gift of continency that it is better to haue a lawfull wife then to burne The thinges that are to bee vowed are diuerse for the faithfull in the olde time were wont to vow either men 1. SAM 1. or beasts LEVIT 21. or thinges without life 1. CHRON. 29. Defended by CORNELIVS MARTYN a low country man of Roxenburgh in Vltraject PRINCIPLES VPON THE FOVRTH COMMANDEMENT OF GODS LAVVE XXXIII 1 EVen as in the rest of the commandements of the first Table there is set downe in what points the lawfull worship of God doth consist so in the fourth commandement wee are taught especiallie howe the faithfull should exercise themselues therein 2 This commandement was not then first of all established wheh the Lord deliuered the Law at Mount Sinay but euen in the verie creation of the worlde and that before the fall of man For although man had neuer fallen yet had he stood in neede of some order and pollicie of the outward worship of God the manner of which pollicye the Lord him self did then set down thereby condemning wil-worship euen in the integritie of man 3 The fall of man comming vpon this made the Lord in renuing this commandement which by little and little was decaied among men to bring other reasons thereof which were partlie altogether morall and to continue vnto the end of the worlde and partlie ceremoniall and temporarie seruing onlie vnto the tutorship or Poedagogie of the Law which PAVLE calleth the rudiments of the world And these reasons were partlie set down by MOSES in this commandement and partlie in other places of the word 4 Hence it commeth to passe seeing in this precept is contained not onlie the inward but also the outward solemne obseruation of Gods worship that the Prophets by setting down a part for the whole do cōprehēd the whole worship of God vnder the obseruatiō of this cōmandemēt 5 It is no maruell then that this commandement though in some things Ceremoniall was yet by the Lorde himself placed amongst the nomber of these that are morall and perpetuall because at that time when this was first instituted the inward perpetuall worship of God did altogether agree with the outward and Ceremoniall 6 The word SABBAOTH being deriued from SABBATH which in the hebrew signifieth to rest or to cease dooth note vnto vs rest and ceasing from our workes and this name was at the first giuen vnto the seauenth day because the Lord hauing finished the work of the creation did rest vpon this day and it was afterward continued because the Lord had forbidden his people to do any seruile work vpon the same 7 Now this commandement consisteth of foure members for first of all is set downe the sanctification of the Sabboth which respecteth GOD the authour thereof who hath peculiarlie appointed vnto his holy vse one certaine day exempted from the order of the rest Secondlye the seuenth day from the beginning of the creation is appointed vnto this Sabboth Thridly the Ceremoniall rite of this Sabboth is set down to be the forbidding of euerie seruile worke in the fourth place is laid before vs the ground of this sanctification of the seauenth day 8 The Ceremoniall things of this commandement are the appointing of the seauenth day the rites of the Sacrifices ordained in the Law to be done vpon this day the resting from all seruile works 9 The morall thinges which are to bee continued vnto end of the worlde are the thinges which are shadowed out by those ceremonies This seauenth day therfore wherof there is neither euening nor morning mentioned did signifie that other euerlasting Sabbaoth to witt the perpetuall rest of aeternall life begunn heere but to bee perfected in the other worlde Nowe the bodie of these legall rites and ceremonies was Christ The rest from all outward labour signified that in the true worship of God we are required to abolish the ould man and therefore to cease from all the workes that are meerelie ours that is from all kinde of sinne to the ende that wee may consecrate both our soules and our bodies to knowe and to glorifie God 10 Now whereas in other places the reason why wee should cease from bodilie labour is set downe to bee the ease which both our houshold and the beasts we vse in the necessarie affaires of this life should haue from their continuall toile it commandeth mercie vnto vs which men are bound to shew in the moderate and sparing vse of the very brute beastes 11 These Ceremoniall things therefore being fulfilled at the comming of Christ are justlie abrogated but the things signified by those Ceremonies are justlie commanded to be done of vs. 12 We may therefore justlie affirme that the Apostles by the direction of the holie Ghoste in steade of that seauenth day obserued vnder the Law did appoint that day which was the first in the creation of the former worlde yet not therefore because it was the first in that worke of the creation but because that Christ by his resurrection vpon that daye did bring foorth that newe and aeternall light of an other world and therefore this day hath bene named the LORDS DAY euen since the time of the Apostles 13 The obseruation therefore of this Lords day is not to be accounted as an indifferent thing but as an Apostolicall tradition to be perpetually obserued 14 And that Christians doe now cease from their daylie labour vpon that day it grew vnto vse by little and little by the authoritie of Christian Emperours and yet is it not anie Iewish obseruation seeing that neither euerye seruile worke is preciselie forbidden on that day wheras it is rather lawfull extraordinarilie at sometimes to recall againe the prohibition of those workes that are forbidden nor yet the said rest is nowe commanded vnto Christians figuratiuelie as it was in times past vnto the Iewes but to the end that laying all other cares aside we may so much the more freelie and earnestlie bestowe our selues in the hearing and meditation of the word 15 And euen as the obseruation of the seauenth day amongst the Iewes was not so to be taken as though God had not bene to be worshipped vpon the other six dayes seeing that the continuall sacrifices was euery day offered both morning and euening Euen so in like sort the obseruation of the Lords day doth not forbid sermons or praiers to be on other dayes but rather commandeth a certaine peculiar a
