Synagogue it was common to read or teach Luk. 4.16 17. Acts 13.15 The ruler of the Synagogue I take to be none else but one designed in especial to take care of the well-ordering of all things to be done therein In the word is no priesthood after this administration but a scribe a writer of the law that knew how to read it well Hence the people are called a Kingdome of Priests every one being to be a law-priest for expounding the judicial law Exod. 19.6 Object What confusion would this bring forth in families Resp Is there more amongst us then was among Jews and Gentiles at the first erecting of Churches 2. Did not Christ foretell as much when he said there should in one house be three against two and two against three Luk. 12.52 3. Doth not the Apostle say the servant then to the heathen was the Lords freeman 1 Cor. 7. See how God plagued Pharaoh for keeping his people from serving him Object Rev. 18.4 God calls his people out of Babel or Rome the false Church onely Resp This is the first step from her to separate the world and Church 2. We are not to come out of Babels Church-practice onely but her state-practices also not in duties of the Gospel only but the law also A people in civil society cannot be without the law as in the Church-society they cannot be without the Gospel and be with and under God therein The first-day-Sabbath is of the covenant of grace the seventh of works Moses is taught the seventh Christ the first natural men observe one believers the other yet both sanctified and Sabbaths and to be kept holy Object This would be exceeding loss to the Nation Resp Never man did lose by serving God but gaine 2. The godly man must sell all If he will be a Christian and deny himself and be dead to all Note The heathens set apart some time to serve their Gods of wood and stone in though they had no warrant to do the same shall not those are the people of God much more have some day to serve him in and what day but that God in the laws instituted from which before the Son hath made them free they are not discharged from what service the law requires nor what penalty the law imposeth on them for disobedience apply Mat. 5.19 Hear what the law saith to those under the law James 2.10 Whosoever keepeth the whole law and yet offend in one point is guilty of all Rom. 3.19 that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God Gal. 3.10 Cursed be every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them Appl. This seems to me that men under the law are strictly bound to the observation of the seventh-day-Sabbath of which number all unbelievers are who are bound to serve God for the creature-comforts and mercies though they know not Christ but are in the state of the world Appl. The Lords-day-Sabbath is only to be observed in the Church by men made free by Christ from the law curse and condemnation thereof Heb. 4.9 There remaineth a Sabbatisme to the people of God called another day vers 8. from the 7. Note verse 5. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This is of great concernment to be inquired into that whiles we strive to build up what we should not we pull down what we ought not I hope you would not for a world make a law to make void the law of God The Sabbath gave way to circumcision though it were not of Moses that is Moses law John 7.22 23. that the law of Moses concerning circumcision might not be broken It is very remarkable that in all the conflicts the Scribes and Pharisees had with Christ about the Sabbath he never spake of the abolishing of it nor condemned the right observance of it though the Jews were more oft offended at Christ for this then any thing he curing more on that day then any because looked on by the Lord as the work of the day and they the more troubled at it because done thereon which they judged to be a profanation thereof Note As the law was given by the found of Trumpet so the congregations of the Synagogues were to be called by trumpet and not by bells Numb 10.7 Exod. 19.16 which minded them of giving of the law and the covenant then made the believers by rising of the Sun that is the time and call of them for their worship Sabbath dayes journey some understand one some to be two miles which was no less to be observed under the Gospel then under the law-day-Law-day-Sabbath Joshua 3.4 Acts 1.12 The Scriptures rightly expounded will clear this Antichristian darkness O take the vaile from our eyes and hearts Mark 16.1 The Sabbath being end 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vers 2. Early in the morn 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and the first of Sabbaths it being the first of the lords-day-Lords-day-Sabbath or the first of the two Sabbaths the Lords day being the first the seventh day the last of the week according to the Scripture The first shall be last and last first And for the ceremonial Sabbath they are no more called Sabbaths but the seventh and first day are called Sabbaths alway in the word The Scriptures speaking of the lords-day-Lords-day-Sabbath misinterpreted for the first day of the week and calls the seventh day a Sabbath also are these Mat. 28.1 Mark 16.2 Luk. 20.1 Acts 20.7 1 Cor. 16.2 That the Scriptures are misinterpreted when read the first day of the week is clear for when God speaks of the first day of the week Mark 16.9 he saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the singular no 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the plural and thus the Pharisees Luk. 18.12 fasted 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1. After Christ the law-day-Law-day-Sabbath was observed by the Jews men under the Law among whom the Apostles taught and never in one word reproved them Acts 18 2. Paul as his manner was went into the Synagogue to the Jews and three Sabbath dayes reasoned out of the Scriptures with them Note his manner was and thus in many other Scriptures 2. The Lords-day-Sabbath was observed among believers Act. 20.7 On the first or one of the Sabbaths when the Disciples came together to bread bread Paul preached to them c. and that 1 Cor. 16.2 On every first of Sabbaths a command to the Church of Corinth every one of you lay by him in store as God hath prospered him 3. Having shewed you that both the first and the seventh day that under the covenant of the law and that under the covenant of grace Moses Sabbath day and Christs conjunctly are called Sabbaths and so of divine authority alike onely one is a command to men under the law the other to men under grace now I shall shew you how they are distinctly called Sabbaths Heb. 4.4 He speaks of the seventh

that the son of thy handmaid and stranger be refreshed Numb 28.25 Jer. 17.21 Carry no burden Levit. 23.3 It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all their dwellings Exod. 16.29 Let no man go out of his place on the Sabbath Vers 26. Ye shall finde no manna thereon Deut. 31.16 The children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations for a perpetual continue untill Christ came and carnal ceremonies were put to an end Rom. 4.11 3. God in Horeb makes a covenant with all the people Deut. 5.2 3. and in Exod. 31.16 The children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe the Sabbath throughout all their congregations for a perpetual covenant it is a signe between me and the children of Israel for ever Exod. 34.27 Objected This seems to hold out three covenants and the Scripture holds out but two Answ That Abraham had is the same with ours and hence is Abraham called the father of the faithful onely the administrations thereof differs now from what it had then 1. This covenant of the Law continuing the signe thereof must also continue Ezek. 20.20 My Sabbath as distinct from the Lords day 2. The Scriptures call after Christs resurrection the seventh-dayes-seventh-dayes-Sabbath Sabbath as well as the first if rightly translated 3. The Apostles met with the Jews and taught them that day usually 4. No Scripture shews the abolishing thereof 5. It is necessary those under that covenant should have a day and time to serve God in as those under the new 6. The Sabbath of the new must not be to those under the old covenant nor the Sabbath of the old to those under the new Mat. 9.17 Men put not new wine into old bottles nor peece an old garment with a new peece of cloth 7. In the estate of the Church all things are become new but then it is only with such as are of the Church with others not of the Church they are so under the old covenant as if there had never been any new Mark saith the Apostle what the law saith it saith to them that are under the law Rom. 3.13 so that those under the Law are commanded to work six dayes and rest the seventh only 8. Thus not an iota or tittle of the law perisheth the morality of the seventh-day-Sabbath is continued and yet no Judaizing in the thing for this was no part of the ceremonial law the ground of the seventh day being from the creation but of the ceremonies from the redemption of Christ 9. Thus Christ destroyes not the law but establisheth it Jesus Christ not taking unbelievers from being under the law in which estate they were and subjection thereunto 10. God will judge them by the law that are under the law Now the law requires them that are under it to keep the seventh day Sabbath Rom. 2.12 and those that are risen with Christ and marryed to him are under the Gospel and Gospel-day this truth shines forth clearly Rom. 7.1 2 3 4. where untill the woman is married to Christ shee is under her first husband Moses 11. The one hath a rest with God and beast and creatures by Moses the other hath a rest with God and Christ and angels souls of just men made perfect on mount Sion Heb. 12. Note Moses and Christ are two and do not destroy each other Christ onely perfects Moses the covenants are two the Sabbaths two the states two one of the world the other of the Church one under the law the other under the Gospel which estates are not to be confounded or made one Hence Col. 2.16 Let no man judge you in respect of the Sabbath dayes 1. Keeping the seventh day Sabbath while unbelievers 2. Being received by the Church and now observe the first and work on the seventh whereas before he wrought on the first and sanctified the seventh justly brings men to be judged and questioned for so doing among men not knowing the truth and the will of God therein A strange confusion in the world for some time there was if we may believe Socrates who saith the Church of Rome observed onely the first day Sabbath and all other Churches the seventh See into what division the loss of truth had brought the then world into and ever since in this darkness arose out of the bottomless-pit Rev. 9.3 hath the world been shut up 3. He that is under the law-day Sabbath is to be punished according to its law if he observe it not and he that is under the Gospel-Sabbath is to be proceeded against according to the way of the Gospel by those several powers set up of God in them Object God requires but one day of seven this is two Resp One day is but observed for those observe the first are not bound to observe the seventh and those bound to observe the seventh are not bound to observe the first Object Some would then be buying selling merchandizing on both dayes and no day observed which would be very gross confusion Resp This confusion in the Apostles dayes if you call it so and the Apostle never tearmed it such at all but saith Let no man judge you much more let no man condemne you in respect of Sabbath dayes Col. 2. 2. By this means the Apostles gathered the Jews and Judaizing Gentiles teaching in the Synagogues on the seventh and after in the Churches on the first 3. By this as the Jews held a preparation to their Sabbath so now is the seventh dayes Sabbath a preparation to the first 4. There is no sin where is no law Moses gave no command to those under the law to observe the first day Christ gave no command to those under grace to observe the seventh day Sabbath 5. Anrichrist could never have made the Church and the world one but by destroying those ordinances that separated them and making them one in Church-ordinances it was easie to perswade the world to be one with the Church but not the Church with the world Quest is If the law-estate can be restored and not the seventh dayes Sabbath 2. Whether men untill they are Evangelically called thence are not of and under that estate in respect of their visible estate and condition in the world Gal. 4.1 Object The Apostles gathered many from Paganisme and never were under the law at all Resp The legal external administration was in a manner abolished 2. Those were gathered were under it spiritually and inwardly before they were gathered 4. If God effectually called them to be under the second the first was waxen old to them then only and not before Object Who shall be Ministers of this administration seeing Aarons priesthood dyeth Resp Aaron was not the Minister of this this was ministred in the Synagogues Aaron ministred in the temple onely 2. The Scribes or Lawyers which were not Levites or Priests they read the law in Synagogues and are said to sit in Moses not Aarons chaire Mat. 23.2 3. In the
