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

As for example Gods commandement and law given to Israell was that they should loue him the Lord their God and serue him with such worship as is agreable to his word This law bindes them and all Gods people in all generations unchaungable Jt bound all such as lived in the old Testament to serve God with sacrifices and burnt offerings and to worship him with their first fruits and sweet odoures and perfumes of incense and that in the place which he did chuse out of all the tribes of Israell And it bindes vs still who liue under the new Testament to loue God and to serue him But with a spirituall woshippe and seruice such as is most agreable to the word of the Gospell as Saint Paul shewes Rom. 12. ● and our sacrifices are not of bruite beasts but our owne bodies deuoted to the obedience of Christ and sacrifices of thankes and praise which are the calfes of our lipps Heb. 13.15 for now men are not by the lavv bound to worship God In Ierusalem nor in the mountaine of Samaria but in every place to lift up pu●e hands and hearts to God and to worshippe him in spirit and in truth Iohn 4.21 And to this worshipp the same law doth as strictlie binde us as it did the fathers to their bod●ly sacrafices in Ierusalem though the seruice in divers particulars is chaunged yet the law is perpetual and st●nds firme and immutable and bindes all Gods people in al their generations Soe likewise from the first promise of Christ a redeemer to mankinde Adam and all his posterity are bound to beleeve in Christ and to seeke expect and hope for salvation and life only in him the promised seede of the woman that is in him made man and mans mediatour And the law of beleeuing in Christ is perpetuall firme and vnch●ungable And yet the dutie which he requires is changeable and is chaunged now under the Gospel from that which is under the law in circumstance for the faithfull in the old Testament were bound to except and wait for Christ and to beleeve in him to come but we under the Gospel confesse Christ and beleeue in that Christ Iesus which is come in the flesh ●nd whosoever confesseth not Christ which is come but beleevs Christ to come he is lead by the spirit of Antichrist 1 Joh. 4.3 And euen thus the case stands with the law of the Sabbath which God gaue in the beginning when he sanctified the seuenth day for by that law he bound Adam and all his posterity to obserue and keepe an holy weekly Sabbath and that one the particular day of the week which is the day most blessed with the greatest blessing aboue all other daies of the weeke and wherein the created worke of the world comes to greatest perfection and that is brought into actuall being where God especiallie resteth and wherewith he is chiefly satisfied delighted This is the summe and substance of the law which equallie bindes all Gods people perpetually to the worlds end This law bound the fathers to keepe holy the seventh day and last day of the weeke in the old Testament because that was the day most blessed with the greatest blessing as yet reuealed in the world that is the promise of Christ his actuall undertaking beginning to be mans mediatour by which promise of the redeemer bringing in of supernaturall grace which is spirituall immutable the mutable worke of the creation was perfected in which mediatō of Christ God rested took such delight that he would not go about to uphold the world by way of creation but cōmitted the reparation of the world to Christ the mediatour But now under the go●pel since the ful exhibition of Christ a perfect actual redeemer the perfecting of the work of redemption on the first day of the week in Christ his resurrectiō that first day of the seuenth which is the seventh in the weekly revolution if we count the daies begin̄ing with the daie next following is now the day most blessed wherin the created world is after a better manner in an higher degree perfected God findes that actually performed wherin he resteth wherwith he is fully satisfied And therfore the same perpetuall law of the Sabbath bindes us to keepe this day for our weekly Sabbath that not with such service as was holy under the law that double bodily sacrifices nor with assemblies appointed for preaching reading hearing of the law the promises of a redeemer to come for seeking salvation blessings in Messiah promised yet not come But with spirituall worship faithfull praier invocation in the name of Christ exhibited already exalted with reading preaching hearing of the gospel which declareth Christ Iesus already come in the flesh And thus I hope I haue fully answered the objection made it manifest the christian churches in chaunging the day of their weekly Sabbath their forme manner of worship haue not made void but established the law of the Sabbath which God gaue in the beginning and these chaunges doe in no case proue the law to be ceremoniall onely and mutable neither doth the moralitie and perpetuity of the law require that every circumstance of the Sabbath and every particular Sabbath duty should at all times remain the same perpetual unchangable CHAP. 10. BVT that this truth may yet shine forth more clearlie and may soe m●nifestlie shew it selfe that no scruples may remaine nor any doubts concerning it or any part of it I will proced to the second special thing which is before propounded That is to inquire search out discover the nature and kinde of this law and commandement of God concerning the weeklie Sabbath And how farre and in what manner it bindes Adam and all his posterity And her● I haue alarge field to passe through wherein divers points offer themselues to our view which J cannot passe by nor lead you along withou● due consideration of them First here J meete with divers and severall opinions of the learned concerning the law of the sabbath which come first to be rehearsed and examined Secondly I finde severall kindes of lawes which God hath given to men mentioned in the Scripture and divers sorts of commandements which we must severally discribe and distinctlie consider before we can determine that which principallie is here intended that is what kinde of law and commandement this of the Sabbath is and how farre and in what manner all man kinde are obliged by it bound to obey it The first opinion is that the law of the Sabbath is naturall morall perpetuall writen in the heatt of the first man in his creation And that as he was bound to keepe the seventh day holy to the Lord in the state of innocency Soe also are all his posteritie bound in all all ages even to the last man to keepe the weeklie Sabbath But they who conceiue
