A14653	The doctrine of the Sabbath Wherein the first institution of the vveekly Sabbath, with the time thereof, the nature of the law binding man to keep it, the true ground, and necessity of the first institution, and of the observation of it, on the severall day in the Old Testament, and also of the moving of it to the first day under the Gospel, are laid open and proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Also besides the speciall dueties necessarily required for the due sanctification thereof, those two profitable points are proved by demonstrations out of Gods Word. First, that the Lord Christ God and man, is the Lord of the Sabbath, on whom the Sabbath was first founded...2. That the faithfull under the Gospell are as necessarily bound to keep the weekly Sabbath of the Lords day... Deliverd in divers sermons by George Walker B. of Divinity and pastor of St. Iohn Evangelists Church in London.	Walker, George, 1581?-1651.	1638 (1638)	STC 24957; ESTC S103296	151,861	168

in_o the_o creatione_n neither_o be_v the_o law_n of_o it_o write_v in_o man_n heart_n in_o the_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v the_o fall_n of_o man_n and_o his_o corruption_n which_o cause_v he_o to_o

may_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n dispense_v with_o outward_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n &_o the_o same_o must_v give_v place_n to_o work_n of_o necessity_n which_o can_v be_v omit_v either_o without_o loss_n of_o life_n or_o some_o certain_a loss_n or_o mischief_n the_o three_o clause_n therefore_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n lord_n also_o of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v give_v we_o to_o

right_n and_o propriety_n in_o it_o for_o to_o make_v it_o serve_v for_o his_o use_n be_v the_o lord_n possessor_n of_o it_o and_o he_o have_v authority_n and_o power_n over_o it_o so_o that_o it_o

exercise_v any_o lordship_n over_o the_o sabbath_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n either_o to_o command_v it_o or_o to_o change_v it_o but_o only_o in_o these_o two_o respect_n first_o that_o he_o bring_v it_o first_o into_o the_o world_n by_o undertake_v to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n &_o the_o son_n of_o man_n &_o so_o it_o be_v settle_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n in_o which_o he_o be_v promise_v during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n while_o he_o be_v a_o redeemer_n pr●mised_v second_o that_o he_o by_o his_o resurrection_n in_o which_o he_o perfect_v

his_o apostle_n so_o to_o ordain_v in_o all_o church_n beside_o this_o lordship_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n as_o son_n of_o man_n over_o the_o sabbath_n we_o can_v conceive_v or_o imagine_v any_o other_o therefore_o undoubted_o he_o have_v change_v it_o to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o as_o lord_n of_o it_o have_v give_v commandment_n for_o this_o change_n and_o alteration_n

and_o also_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n exod._n 20.13_o it_o must_v needs_o hereupon_o be_v grant_v that_o what_o day_n god_n by_o his_o son_n christ_n have_v in_o all_o respect_n more_o full_o

it_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v esteem_v and_o so_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o manifest_a that_o the_o lord_n god_n by_o his_o

have_v make_v this_o first_o day_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o weekly_a sabbath_n of_o christian_n i_o may_v here_o add_v for_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o truth_n a_o observation_n of_o diverse_a godly_a and_o learned_a writer_n to_o weet_v that_o our_o saviour_n sanctify_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n more_o than_o any_o other_o day_n by_o his_o promise_n and_o example_n in_o that_o he_o do_v most_o common_o appear_v to_o the_o disciple_n after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o come_v among_o they_o when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o on_o that_o day_n and_o teach_v

christ_n and_o it_o be_v loathsome_a and_o tedious_a to_o they_o &_o notwithstanding_o many_o and_o great_a opposition_n of_o profane_a person_n yet_o we_o see_v it_o stand_v firm_a in_o all_o age_n since_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o all_o christian_a church_n none_o but_o heretic_n have_v reject_v it_o &_o all_o godly_a christian_n find_v solid_a joy_n &_o abudance_n of_o blessing_n in_o the_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o cut_v of_o or_o consume_v man_n in_o wrath_n but_o for_o some_o notable_a scandalous_a sin_n &_o transgression_n against_o some_o express_a law_n &_o
