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

such_o holy_a duty_n and_o exercise_n as_o be_v holy_a at_o al●_n time_n and_o in_o all_o age_n both_o before_o and_o under_o the_o law_n and_o now_o also_o under_o the_o gospel_n which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v either_o true_o holy_a or_o t●nde_a to_o beg_v it_o increase_n and_o cherish_v holy_a grace_n in_o man_n and_o because_o god_n have_v by_o the_o gospel_n shine_v into_o our_o

and_o the_o more_o spiritual_a the_o more_o please_v to_o god_n &_o more_o beseem_v christians_n so_o that_o the_o first_o rule_v which_o be_v here_o to_o be_v give_v and_o to_o be_v observe_v be_v this_o that_o all_o god_n people_n do_v chief_o labour_v to_o stir_v up_o and_o quicken_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o holy_a heavenly_a and_o supernatural_a ●_z in_o their_o

time_n and_o on_o all_o day_n we_o ought_v to_o keep_v our_o whole_a spirit_n and_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o our_o body_n pure_a and_o blameless_a to_o serve_v god_n as_o well_o with_o inward_a affection_n of_o heart_n and_o purity_n of_o spirit_n as_o outward_a visible_a sensible_a action_n and_o gesture_n of_o body_n but_o because_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v the_o most_o bless_a day_n of_o the_o wreak_n sanctified_a &_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o holy_a worship_n and_o immediate_a service_n of_o god_n and_o for_o public_a and_o private_a service_n devotion_n and_o religious_a duty_n only_o therefore_o we_o all_o ought_v to_o have_v as_o great_a care_n to_o furnish_v our_o soul_n with_o spiritual_a beauty_n of_o holiness_n more_o abundant_o &_o in_o great_a measure_n as_o we_o have_v to_o make_v clean_a and_o neat_a our_o house_n and_o to_o deck_v and_o adorn_v our_o body_n with_o our_o best_a and_o clean_a holy_a day_n apparel_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o though_o outward_a &_o bodily_a action_n &_o gesture_n be_v require_v as_o requisite_a and_o necessary_a in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o without_o they_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o do_v

by_o the_o prophet_n testify_v isa._n 1_n c_o 10_o to_o the_o 16_o verse_n &_o 29_o 13_o and_o therefore_o let_v our_o first_o and_o chief_a care_n be_v about_o the_o fit_a and_o prepare_v of_o our_o

care_n of_o the_o world_n must_v go_v before_o true_a sanctification_n in_o order_n &_o time_n therefore_o undoubtedlie_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o lord_n sab_n day_n be_v there_o where_o the_o old_a
