A53192	The doctrine of the Fourth Commandement, deformed by popery, reformed & restored to its primitive purity wherein is clearely proved by Scripture, arguments, and reasons, that the seventh day of the week, and not the first, viz. the day called Saturday (and not the day called Sunday) is the true Christian Sabbath ... / objections answered, and the truth cleared, by Gods unworthy servant, J.O.

Deut. 29 29. without adding to it or diminishing ought from it Deut 4.2 Chap. 12.23 Eccles 3.14 Prov. 30.6 Gal. 3.15 This Law or Covenant consisteth of Ten Precepts Sentences or Words Exod. 20 Deut. 10.4 Heb. 12.19 Which Precepts Sentences or Words are unseparably joyned together Comparatively as a Chaine of ten links Or as a compleat name consisting of ten Syllables or Letters So that if one Link be broken the whole Chaine is broken If one Syllable or Letter be removed or changed the whole name is altered changed or broken Even so it standeth with the Law of Gods Ten Commandements for when one Precept hath been transgressed or broken yea of the Sabbath by name God hath reproved the offenders for breaking of His Commandements Exod. 16.28 That one Act of Transgression is the breach of Gods Law or Covenant See I pray Deut. 17.2 3. 1 Cor. 15.56 1 John 3.4 This truth St. James knew well and would have us to know it also and therefore he saith Chap. 2. vers 10. Whosoever keepeth the whole Law and faileth in one point is guilty of all And his Reason is Because he that said Thou shalt not commit Adultery said also Thou shalt not kill Now saith he If thou commit not Adultery yet if thou Kill thou art become a Transgressour of the Law vers 11. Our Saviour treating of this Law in Mat. 5.19 saith Whosoever therefore shall breake one of these least Commandements and shall teach men so shall be called least in the Kingdome of Heaven Note I pray these words of our Saviour are grounded upon a Two-fold Reason The one is because in vers 17. He had made known to his Disciples That he came not to destroy the Law or Propets but to fulfill them The second Reason is because in vers 18. He had ratified every jot and tittle of the Law till all things be fulfilled to wit to the end of the World Thus was Gods Law ratified for Instruction of obedience to Beleevers in the time of the Gospel according to the Prophesie of old Isa 8.16 Our Saviour to possess our minds of the truth of this in Luke 16.17 He saith It is easier for Heaven and Earth to passe away than one tittle of the Law to faile As if he should have said deceive not your selves nor let any deceive you and cause you to thinke my comming in the flesh doth make any part of my Fathers Law void for I assure you Heaven may sooner or easier cease to be Heaven or the Earth may sooner or easier cease to be Earth than any jot or tittle of my Fathers Law cease to be of Force in not requiring obedience to my Father according to the expressions therein contained This doth clearely demonstrate that Jesus Christ hath not abrogated the Decalogue nor any part thereof but ratified it to be a rule of Righteousness for performance of duties both towards God and man while we live on Earth Therefore what God hath joyned together let no man separate nor neglect any obedience to any expression therein contained For certainly Jesus Christ hath not abrogated this Law nor any part thereof as touching obedience but only as touching the curse Gal. 3.13 Chap. 4. vers 4. And hence it is that true Believers are not held under the terror and condemnation thereof 2 Cor. 3.6.7.9 because Jesus Christ hath performed for them that which God by the strictness of the Law requireth of them Rom. 8.3 4. Ephes 2.16 1 Cor. 1.30 And in this sence Jesus Christ is said to be the end of the Law for Righteousnesse to every one that beleeveth Rom. 10.4 And in this sence Believers are said not to be under the Law but under Grace Rom. 6.14 As also to be delivered from the Law Chap. 7.6 And in this sence it is said The Righteousnesse of God without the Law is manifested Rom. 3.21.22 This grace wrought by Jesus Christ for Beleevers is not for their obedience either to Law or Gospel nor without their obedience in some measure to both but by their Faith in Christ Thus all those which by Faith receive the Holy Spirit are not under the Law Gal. 5.18 to wit to condemne them Rom. 8.1 2. Yet are they not without the Law as appertaineth to God but in the Law through Christ 1 Cor. 9.21 So that although Believers are quit freed or delivered from the Curses or Terrour of the Law by Jesus Christ yet hath he not discharged or freed them from their obedience to it For this read Mat. 22.37.38.39 Rom. 3.31 Chap. 13.9 1 Cor. 7.19 Ephes 6.1.2.3 Iames 2.10.11.12 Therefore if thou wilt enter into life keep the Commandements Mat. 19.17 And they are Ten Exod. 20. Deut. 10.4 It being so I doe not see how it is possible that the Decalogue or any Precept Sentence or Word of it was abrogated by Jesus Christ As was Circumcision the Passeover and Priesthood of Aaron Sacrifices Offerings and burnt Offerings Monthly and Yearly Festivals which were shadowes of good things to come Heb. 10.1 And served as a Schoolemaster to lead men to Christ Gal. 3.24 In whom it had its end Colos 2.11.14.15.16.17 Heb. 7.12.18.19 Ephes 2.14.15 But the Decalogue nor any part thereof figured not out Jesus Christ either in Person or Office But being morall and perpetuall it bindeth all men in all ages to the duties therein expressed or contained both in body and Spirit Gentiles as well as Jewes Believers and Unbelievers Exod. 20. Deut. 5 Mat. 22.37.38.39 1 Cor. 7.19 Rom. 13.9 For God is not the God of the Jewes only but of the Gentiles also Rom. 3.29 Now seeing God requireth obedience of all men unto it it followeth Jesus Christ by his fulfilling of it hath not delivered or discharged us from our obedience to it I doubt not but most men devoted to Godlinesse will assent with me as touching the duties of the second Table of the Divine Law that it is Morall and bindeth every man to the particular duties therein expressed But few men there are as yet that doth assent with me that the Precepts of the first Table have such authority over us in binding us to every particular Expression therein contained For Papists doe deny the second Commandement against worshipping of Images to be Morall and appertaine not to Christians as Mr. Brabourne saith on the Sabbath Page 519 out of Polanus Syntag. page 353. Others there are which deny the affirmative part of the third Commandement in that they refuse to take an oath in any right cause through a mis-apprehension of our Saviours words in Mat. 5.34 35 36. and the words of St. James Chap. 5.12 Yea Papists and all differing opinions among men professing Christ by what name soever they are called do deny the Morality of the Fourth Commandement or at least part thereof in practice though not in words the errour of which opinion I shall refute by Scripture Arguments and Reasons But first I will reason against them in that manner as
