A69228	A discourse of the Sabbath and the Lords Day Wherein the difference both in their institution and their due observation is briefly handled. By Christopher Dow, B.D.	Dow, Christopher, B.D.	1636 (1636)	STC 7088; ESTC S110113	45,823	80

he_o alone_o can_v change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v lord_n of_o it_o that_o be_v christ_n so_o that_o according_a to_o he_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o change_n and_o

do_v as_o one_o have_v well_o observe_v in_o the_o like_a case_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v demand_v a_o legacy_n by_o force_n and_o virtue_n of_o some_o write_a testament_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n specify_v he_o plead_v that_o there_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v and_o bring_v argument_n from_o the_o love_n and_o good_a will_n which_o always_o the_o testator_n bear_v he_o imagine_v that_o these_o or_o the_o like_a proof_n will_v evince_v a_o testament_n to_o have_v that_o in_o it_o which_o other_o man_n by_o read_v can_v no_o where_o find_v certain_o it_o be_v a_o bold_a and_o a_o strange_a course_n for_o man_n to_o adventure_v to_o argue_v that_o god_n must_v needs_o have_v do_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o imagine_v be_v to_o be_v do_v whereas_o in_o matter_n that_o concern_v the_o action_n of_o god_n the_o most_o dutiful_a and_o safe_a way_n on_o our_o part_n be_v to_o search_v what_o god_n have_v do_v and_o with_o meekeresse_n to_o admire_v that_o rather_o then_o to_o dispute_v what_o he_o in_o congruity_n of_o reason_n aught_o to_o do_v he_o may_v therefore_o have_v spare_v all_o the_o reason_n he_o bring_v and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o to_o have_v allege_v one_o place_n out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o do_v command_v the_o change_n of_o the_o day_n especial_o see_v he_o deny_v it_o and_o that_o for_o many_o reason_n by_o he_o there_o

of_o imperfection_n upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o neglect_n in_o christ_n himself_o of_o that_o office_n which_o as_o the_o great_a prophet_n of_o his_o church_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o if_o

but_o certain_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a even_o to_o a_o vulgar_a consideration_n that_o no_o such_o thing_n do_v appear_v out_o of_o that_o place_n for_o what_o do_v saint_n paul_n say_v there_o

at_o all_o take_v those_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o so_o severe_o prohibit_v all_o work_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n as_o if_o they_o do_v no_o less_o belong_v to_o we_o now_o then_o heretofore_o
