graunt them the whole Argument viz. That euery Day that was ceremoniall is abolished what then I speake no● of a Day that was but of a day that is namely not of such a Day as was once Ceremoniall for the first day of the weeke was neuer such a Ceremoniall day but of a Day that now IS institutued in the new Testament Theyr wynd therfore shakes no haner Yet because such a spirit shall not haue his owne will to passe by the first proposition I demaunde of him what day it was that was so Ceremoniall was it the Day of Easter of Pentecost of Tabernacles new Moone months Yeares None of these I pleade for But it was the Sabaot or 7. day that he speciallie speaks of and this day he wold haue Ceremoniall from Colos. 2.16.17 and therfore to end in Christ. What then I speake not for that 7. day but for the Day after which is the 8. in regarde of 7. geingebefore and is the first day of the weeke in regarde of the weeke Yee as before to crosse the spirit in his way who enuyes not somuch the Day as the exercise becawse the standing and falling of Religion resteth in the precise obseruation of som Day I demaund of him how he proues that 7. day a Ceremonie He saith it was a Ceremoniall day because it enioyned Rest Then Rest is the Ceremonie and what signified that That Christ was our Rest and in him only we could haue Rest. Well said then when Christ the figured Rest is Com in the flesh we must no more obserue a Day of Rest for that after a sorte shold teach that Christ were vn●om But what if I shold say that it figured not only that Rest which we shold haue by his incarnation but also if not only that Rest which we shold haue by his repaire from heauens when in that glorified appearance he shall restore all things and so ther vpon I shold inferre a Day of Rest vntill his appearance though partly Ceremoniall wold not this on the other hand breake the head of the latter part of your first proposition I troe it wold But he thinks that the former place out of the Colossians proues that euery Sabaot is abolished by Christ his former appearance But if I shold say that the plurall nomber there sabaoths signifies all the days of sabaot ioyned with the Pasouer day which indeede liuelily set out the Rest and Lyfe we shold haue in the lamb Christe Crucified and that it signifieth not the weekly sabaot wold not this put the strainge spirit to a fowl● plunge But what if I denie the weekly 7. Days rest to be a Ceremoniall rest Nay what if I proue it thus All Ceremonies precise figuringe the sauiour to be slaughtered for our syn were instituted for Adam only after he had synned so stood neede of a sauiour But the 7. days rest was enjoyned Adam before he had synned Gen. 2. therfore no such Ceremonie if any Ceremonie HIere the aduersarie stands as hauing looked on Medusaes heade And now he demaunds this Questios If the 7. Days rest were not Ceremoniall how coms the day then to be chainged I answer by another questiō what if the nomber of seauenth was a figure and therfore chainged though not the Rest because it was no such figure remaineth still but translated vnto the next day after seing Bodies Rest is of absolute necessitie far the Churches spirituall exercises Syllie people why may not that days rest be translated now vnto another Day as well as the old Testament his laying of hands vpon Leui be translated vnto the Euangelicall ministry Thus the fanaticall spirit is euerie way hindred progresse it now remaineth to proue the First day a diuyne Commandement for such exercise and that thus That day was so sanctified by our saviour in his owne person by the Apostles and by the primatiue Churches accordinge to diuyne iniunction Therfore to vs a Commaundement diuyne FOr the Antecedent First our Sauiour that day arisinge and therfore called the lords day Reu. 1.10 he preacheth from Morninge to late nigh● and that 5. sondry tymes Secondly the Apostles the same day conuened as also the 8. day after it being the same day seauen-night what tyme on● savior omitting the week days he schooled Thomas who the former Lords day had bene absent Thirdly the first churches so meeted Actor 20.7.11 Least this Trine-presedent seme notwith standinge to leaue it as a thing indifferent for vsually the observacom of the day is lefte to the liberty of the Church we must vnderstande that Blessed Paul had incommended the religious obseruation of the day vnto the Churches as 1. Cor. 16.1.2 where flatly he nombers it among the Ordinances he had enioyned vpon the Churches and I troe Paul was A master builder and that a skilfull 1. Cor. 3.10 and if other Ordinances as estaelishment of Elders Deacons etc. were Diuine and commaundements from God because deliuered vnto the Churches by these skilfull Mr. Builders suerly we must hold them very vnskilfull Builders that either abrogate this Ordinance or do teach the observation of this Day to be indifferent and humaine Such vnskilfull builders haue bene a cawse of such absurde heresies Blessed Iohn Reuel 1.10 c. being in the yle Parmos exiled and alone it semeth he religiouslie obserued yt Yea the Lord then and no other day deliuereth the new Testaments prophecies vnto him he being fittest to be rapt in the spirit what day he specially set apart for spirituall contemplation Why shold the Apostle be so precise in mentioninge the day if it were not to teach vs specially that day to addict our mynds to spirituall speculation that so specially that day we may be from aboue endued with Reuelation If there be not not one day of Seauen by diuine ordinance to be imposed on the Church then wype out the Decalogues fourth commaunde and so there remayneth one lesse in the Lords kalender Will they neuer learne that the equitie of euery Commaunde is so far from giuing vs liberty as it ●●eth vs more strictly vnder Christ vnto all exercises of the spirit And euen herein must our righteousnes exceede the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises else we are vnfit to enter into this kyngdom This is the Lords day and it is maruelous in owr eyes Conclus 11. No Person may seperate fully in fellowship spirituall from such a Congregation truly Christian wherof he hath bene a member by peculiar profession except such a Congregation be first conuicted of obstinate Rebellion or else do vnjustly hunt after the spoile of such a member Examination FIrst let the Congregation we speake of be rightly conceiued and then we shall speake of the seperation The Congregation we speake of is such a fellowship of people moe or fewe as is truly Christian that is not only professinge Christ but professinge of him truly And least anie Catharist that speaks of perfection do stumble at the word Truly we therfore notifie
