worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth by the light of nature u Act. 14 15 17 23 24 God is glorified as hee is Creator I answere That it is not so for A seueÌ„th day though not Saturday is still sanctified Which to be sufficient to celebrate the Creator the fourth Commandement prescribeth neither this nor that seuenth day but one of seuen doth euideÌ„tly proue So that wheras Sonday is The Lords day and withall A seuenth day we may obserue that Christians * Ioh. 14. 13. glorifie the Father in the Sonne and celebrate the Creator with the Redeemer By whom a New creation though spirituall was performed x Isa 65. 17. 66. 21. 22 according to the prophecy of Isaiah Lastly If it may appeare by the word that Sonday was confirmed by the Apostles practise and preceptiue execution then Sonday hath authoritie not from the Church but from Christ But it appeareth by the word that Sonday was so confirmed therfore it hath authority not from the Church but from Christ. That the sequele of the Maior may better appeare I will manifest the Minor by these three places of holy writ viz. Act. 20 6 7. and 1. Cor. 16 2. and Reuel 1 10. For in the first place three things are to be obserued 1. That Paul abode at Troas seuen daies 2. That it is not said The Disciples were called of purpose to his preaching but Being come together to breake bread that is to be partakers of the Lords Supper And 3. That ready to depart on the morow he coÌ„tinued his preaching till midnight Then it will appeare that Sonday there called The first day of the weeke in respect of the Iewes their account to whom Saturday was the seueÌ„th that is the last day of the weeke was sanctified to holy meetings and exercises And that Paul waited as at Philippi y Act. 16. 12. 13. for the Sabbath of the Iewes so at Troas for the Christians their Lords day Which he would not haue done being an Apostle and hauing such hast of departure if Sonday had not been sanctified by greater authority than the ordinary authority of the Elders and Brethren If it be obiected that according to the originall the words bee One of the Sabbathes in the two former places and therfore it is vncertaine whether Sonday bee meant in those places rather than Saturday I answere That by the same reason it is vncertaine whether our blessed Sauiour did arise againe the third day z 1. Cor. 15. 4. according to the Scriptures For all the Euangelists a Mat. 28. 1 Mark 16. 2. Luke 24. 1. Ioh. 20. 1. vse the same words when they report That Mary Magdalen went to seeke Christ when he was risen But more fully to confute this Argument three things are to be noted 1. That in the originall the numerall One is put for the ordinall First For Marke hauing said in the second verse of his 16. chapter One of the Sabbathes speaking of Mary Magdalen her seeking of Christ chaungeth the words in the 9. verse and saith The First day shewing that Christ was risen And that Sabbathes is put for Weekes As in Leuit. 25. 8. it is written Thou shalt number 7. Sabbathes that is weekes of yeeres Secondly it is to be obserued That in both places only Christians are said to haue these meetings For they who came together are called Disciples Churches and are said To breake bread that is To receiue the Communion b 1. Cor. 10. 16. 17. 18. which none but Christians may do And therefore in both places the Spirit of God in two sundry writers Luke and Paul vseth these words The first day of the weeke rather than The Sabbath day more distinctly to expresse that day which was sanctified by Christians Whereas at Philippi where no Disciples were as yet Paul is said c Act. 16. 12. 18. to go on The Sabbath to the place where the Iewes were wont to pray after he had bin there certaine daies For what neede had the Christians being none but themselues to neglect the Lords day for the Iewes Sabbath Thirdly note that it is said Euery first day 1. Cor. 16. 2. and consider whether there be any probability that the Apostle would haue them come together euery Saturday If not it followeth necessarily that by The first day of the weeke Sonday is vnderstood In 1. Cor. 16. 1. 2. we are yet further to consider that the Apostle saith As I haue ordained in the Churches of Galatia which argueth Generality and Euery first day which argueth Perpetuity So that by this place holy assemblies vpon Sonday may seeme as generall in those times so confirmed for euer by a preceptiue exhortation For as in this speech d 2. Tim. 2. 19. Let euery one that calleth on the name of Christ depart from iniquitie a preceptiue exhortation to call on the name of Christ is implied howsoeuer only departing from iniquity bee expressely commaunded So in this speech deliuered by an Apostle Euery first day of the weeke let euery one of you put aside is implied a preceptiue exhortation to come together vpon the first day of the weeke howsoeuer only putting aside be expresly commanded If it be obiected That these meetings were only to gather for the Saints I deny it For it is said Act. 20. 7. That the Disciples came together to break bread which importeth other holy exercises Againe If no more were vnderstood than expressed then Christians coÌ„firmed in the faith were lesse religious vpon their setled and sanctified holy day than they were ordinarily if not euery day at their first enterance into their holy profession For then they mette together e Act. 2. 42. 46. not only to breake bread but vnto doctrine also and prayers Lastly The Apostle who was so zealous to sanctifie the Lords day at Troas would no doubt reproue in this place so great neglect of The Lords day if such a matter were then to be supposed As for Reuel 1. 10. if nothing else were vrged but the consideration of the two former places it doth sufficieÌ„tly appeare that by The Lords day is meant The first day of the weeke now called Sonday according to the iudgement of all the learned Against which streame to striue by making a doubt without reason at least probable is to bewray a proud conceipt of a priuate opinion But howsoeuer this be sufficient yet for the godly their sake I will say somewhat more than inough It is the iudgement of the learned and I see nothing to the contrarie That as Paul praying in the Temple * Act. 22. 17 fell into a traunce so Iohn sanctifying the Lords day was rauished in spirit If so how can we imagine That Iohn banished f Reuel 1. 9 in the isle Patmos hauing no cause to coÌ„straine him nor occasion to induce him should rather sanctifie the Iewes Sabbath than the Christians holy day Againe If

Did he himselfe not only institute a Seuenth day in Paradise to our first Parents but coÌ„firmed it also m Exod. 20 1 8. to the Iewes And will he leaue Christians n 1. Pet. 2 9. Achosen generation and Royall Priest-hood without a Sabbath sanctified by his Diuine authoritie considering the Sabbath o Exod. 31 13 17. is a signe that wee may know that hee is the Lord who doth sanctifie vs to be his people And to what other end than p Ezech. 46 1 2 3. to worship him our Sanctifier Lastly when the Passeouer was not kept in the first moneth because of vncleannesse or a long iourney did God suffer it either to be omitted or translated as it seemed good to the Israelites Nay he himselfe q Num. 19 10 11. nominated the fourteenth day of the second moneth to be kept for the Passeouer in those cases Was God so zealous for the Passeouer a ceremoniall Sabbath therefore temporall And would hee neglect The seuenth day a morall Sabbath and therefore eternall Sith in the fourth precept he commandeth A seuenth day to be holy for euer For as hee commaundeth Worship vpon the Sabbath prescribing neither Iewish nor Christian so he commandeth A seuenth day to be the Sabbath prescribing neither Saturday nor Sonday So that the fourth Commandement and euery word thereof without any alteration doth belong to Christians as well as to Iewes If so then I conclude that whether Saturday were made common because of a ceremony or for some other respect some other day in place thereof was sanctified to holy worship by diuine authoritie If it be obiected that whereas by God himselfe the institution of the Iewes their Sabbath was commanded vnto Adam and the coÌ„firmation therof promulgated to the Israelites with the rest of the Decalogue It is strange that it should cease not of it selfe as being ceremoniall but for some other speciall cause and another day appointed in the place thereof and that by God and yet it is not knowne whether immediately or by whom God made this alteration I answere that as God at the last day will iudge the world r Act. 17. 31 by the man whom he hath appointed so in the meane time he doth gouerne the Church by his Sonne Å¿ Psal 2. 6. Joh. 5. 22. Col. 3. 1. 2. 20. whom hee hath placed King in Sion So that whatsoeuer the Sonne doth is authenticall and of Diuine authoritie Not only because hee is God t Rom. 9. 5. 1. Tim. 6. 14. 15. 16. blessed for euer but also in that he is that great Prophet u Deut. 18. 18. 19. Act. 3. 20. 22. like vnto Moses whom we are to heare For he doth nothing of himselfe * Ioh. 3. 32. 33. 8. 28. but as his Father taught him But that Christ the Sonne of the liuing God sanctified that other Sabbath day I thus proue If the Sonne bee as faithfull in all his owne house in things concerning the worship of God x Heb. 3. 2. 5. 6. as Moses the seruant If Christ bee the Messias y Ioh. 4. 19. 20. 25. 26. who should teach vs all things If Moses prescribed euery thing belonging to the Tabernacle z Exod. 25. 9. 38. euen to a paire of snuffers If the things belonging to the house of God befew in coÌ„parison of those which belonged to the Tabernacle of Moses because the houre is come when a Ioh. 4. 23. wee must worship the Father in Spirit and Truth that is spiritually b Gal. 3. 3. without the intolerable c Act. 15. 10 Gal. 4. 3. yoke of carnall d Heb. 9. 1. 10. rites If a Sabbath be as necessarie vnto the edification of Christ his house as a paire of snuffers to the seruice of Moses his Tabernacle then without doubt Saturday being made common Christ appointed some other day to be a Sabbath vnto his people as the Leuiticall Priest-hood being ceased e Heb. 7. 11. 12. Ephes 4. 8. 11. 12. he sanctified another Ministery vnder the Gospell Againe whereas Christ came f Mat. 5. 17. not to breake but to fulfill the Law and the Law doth command one day of seuen to be a Sabbath as is said Therefore Christ did either coÌ„firme Saturday or sanctifie some other day of the weeke but that he confirmed Saturday none will affirme therefore he sanctified some other day of the weeke Which to be Sonday I thus proue We see that Sonday is generally kept holy in all the Churches of Christ And there is nothing to the contrarie but that it hath been sanctified In and since the Apostles time If then God by Christ hath sanctified a Sabbath vnto Christians it must necessarily follow that either the Church hath neuer regarded but neglected the ordinance of GOD for many hundred yeeres or else that Sonday was sanctified by Christ. But the former is not easily to bee admitted considering the Church g 1. Tim. 3 15. is the Pillar of truth therefore the later more willingly to be receaued Againe if the Sonne h Ioh. 5 19 21. doth whatsoeuer the Father doth and if the Father hath committed all iudgement to the Sonne i Exo. 22 23 that all men should honor the Sonne as they honor the Father then as the Father sanctified A seuenth day k Gen. 2 2 3 as on which he finished his works of Creation and l Rom. 1 19. 20. was declared mightily to be the liuing God m Exod. 31 13 17. to his owne honor and therfore n Isa 58 13. did call it mine holy day For it was not a shadow of Sanctification as some dreaming of a ceremony do imagine but A Signe to Gods people of their Sanctifier that is A tokeÌ„ or memorial that they may know that the Creator is the Lord who doth sanctifie them to bee his people So the Sonne sanctified that day o 1.
