A63259	The Lords day vindicated, or, The first day of the week the Christian Sabbath in answer to Mr. Bampfields plea for the seventh day, in his Enquiry whether Jesus be Jehovah, and gave the moral law? And whether the fourth command be repealed or altered? / by G.T., a well-wisher to truth and concord.	Trosse, George, 1631-1713.	1692 (1692)	Wing T2303; ESTC R3378	80,084	154

jehovah_n and_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o such_o yet_o the_o same_o lord_n christ_n be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o make_v by_o jehovah_n as_o such_o and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n as_o god-man_n he_o neither_o create_v the_o world_n nor_o rest_v from_o that_o creation_n though_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o question_n the_o efficient_a of_o the_o creation_n be_v only_o style_v lord_n by_o which_o may_v be_v equal_o understand_v the_o son_n of_o god_n before_o and_o after_o the_o incarnation_n yet_o in_o the_o margin_n he_o interpret_v this_o by_o the_o word_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v give_v a_o proper_a a_o direct_a and_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o part_n thereof_o and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o observe_n that_o in_o a_o proper_a and_o strict_a sense_n jehovah_n the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n can_v be_v say_v to_o rest_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v either_o admit_v of_o any_o weariness_n or_o pain_n in_o himself_o yea_o or_o of_o any_o the_o least_o new_a motion_n in_o himself_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a perfect_a immutable_a act_n and_o life_n can_v possible_o admit_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o all_o the_o change_n that_o he_o make_v either_o substantial_o of_o nothing_o into_o be_v or_o alteration_n of_o the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o be_v etc._n etc._n without_o himself_o be_v and_o must_v be_v without_o the_o least_o mutation_n and_o alteration_n within_o himself_o and_o this_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n and_o metaphysic_n will_v teach_v we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o light_n of_o scripture_n and_o theology_n as_o mal._n 3.6_o jam._n 1.17_o so_o that_o though_o god_n may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o conclude_v or_o end_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n yet_o can_v he_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o rest_v from_o it_o or_o after_o it_o because_o this_o in_o its_o formal_a notion_n imply_v motion_n activity_n and_o exert_n of_o power_n and_o ability_n with_o a_o weariness_n thereby_o which_o the_o deity_n be_v infinite_o free_a from_o which_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v heed_v because_o i_o perceive_v the_o author_n will_v fain_o have_v every_o clause_n in_o the_o four_o command_n to_o be_v moral_a and_o of_o necessary_a and_o perpetual_a observance_n and_o especial_o this_o of_o god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n now_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a as_o to_o motive_n and_o obligation_n to_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v that_o which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n right_a reason_n or_o to_o go_v high_o the_o perfect_o irradiate_v mind_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n will_v have_v of_o its_o self_n discern_v and_o close_v with_o as_o a_o motive_n and_o engagement_n to_o piety_n or_o charity_n or_o any_o duty_n which_o i_o think_v god_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n may_v well_o be_v assert_v not_o to_o be_v because_o 1._o reason_n or_o the_o illuminate_v mind_n of_o man_n can_v never_o suppose_v god_n to_o take_v after_o his_o work_n any_o real_a rest_n or_o refreshment_n in_o himself_o which_o he_o have_v not_o before_o and_o second_o god_n work_v in_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o creation_n in_o its_o be_v order_n and_o operation_n be_v altogether_o as_o great_a and_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o production_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o schoolman_n say_v that_o preservation_n be_v a_o continual_a act_n of_o creation_n because_o the_o same_o word_n and_o power_n be_v exert_v in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o yea_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o work_n itself_o or_o the_o term_n of_o it_o without_o god_n we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o creation_n of_o it_o though_o as_o to_o the_o act_n itself_o in_o god_n all_o be_v the_o same_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o same_o infinite_a power_n wisdom_n and_o godhead_n because_o of_o the_o contrary_a quality_n of_o the_o creature_n mutual_o tend_v to_o each_o other_o destruction_n but_o especial_o because_o of_o the_o malice_n of_o devil_n and_o the_o sinful_a wretched_a depravity_n of_o fallen_n man_n which_o without_o a_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n exert_v to_o the_o contrary_a will_v soon_o bring_v all_o to_o ruin_n at_o least_o it_o will_v do_v so_o by_o the_o humane_a nature_n for_o which_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v make_v and_o be_v continue_v and_o therefore_o this_o motive_n to_o a_o seventh-day-sabbath_n can_v be_v in_o and_o of_o itself_o moral_a and_o this_o our_o saviour_n clear_o show_v john_n 5.17_o my_o father_n work_v hitherto_o and_o i_o work_v which_o he_o give_v by_o way_n of_o reply_n to_o those_o who_o in_o the_o former_a context_n tax_v and_o condemn_v he_o for_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n ground_v it_o seem_v tacit_o at_o least_o their_o accusation_n from_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o four_o command_n of_o god_n rest_v on_o that_o day_n as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v of_o a_o moral_a and_o perpetual_a obligation_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n here_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o both_o he_o and_o his_o father_n do_v work_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o well_o as_o on_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n from_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a this_o clause_n in_o the_o command_n be_v not_o moral_a but_o positive_a as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n be_v sanctify_v and_o so_o institute_v by_o he_o and_o be_v observe_v by_o he_o who_o make_v the_o world_n we_o answer_v it_o be_v sanctify_v and_o institute_v by_o the_o lord_n as_o jehovah_n but_o not_o as_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o that_o it_o be_v observe_v by_o jesus_n christ_n incarnate_v but_o not_o as_o jehovah_n because_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o import_v some_o dutiful_a obligation_n upon_o its_o observer_n which_o can_v be_v suppose_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o godhead_n but_o may_v be_v so_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o lord_n christ_n as_o mediator_n in_o his_o human_a nature_n but_o then_o this_o observance_n make_v no_o more_o for_o the_o keep_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n than_o for_o the_o observance_n of_o pentecost_n the_o passover_n the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n and_o other_o ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n under_o which_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v and_o which_o he_o observe_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n the_o moysaicall_a and_o the_o ceremonial_a administration_n be_v in_o force_n all_o the_o while_o he_o live_v and_o expire_v with_o his_o death_n and_o be_v bury_v in_o his_o grave_n as_o to_o their_o virtue_n and_o obligation_n and_o so_o we_o assert_v the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n do_v also_o which_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v evince_v in_o the_o progress_n of_o this_o discourse_n by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o have_v a_o sufficient_a reply_n to_o his_o three_o proof_n which_o follow_v his_o querly_n for_o it_o be_v affirmative_a and_o how_o they_o may_v be_v orthodox_o admit_v or_o else_o as_o heterodox_n reject_v and_o here_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o all_o the_o former_a particular_n which_o the_o author_n make_v use_v of_o as_o foundation_n to_o build_v his_o belove_a notion_n upon_o do_v as_o equal_o militate_v and_o plead_v for_o the_o observance_n of_o all_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n as_o for_o the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n for_o the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n enjoin_v they_o as_o well_o as_o this_o the_o great_a jehovah_n impose_v they_o as_o well_o as_o this_o the_o lawgiver_n give_v those_o law_n as_o well_o as_o this_o and_o our_o lord_n institute_v and_o sanctify_v those_o as_o well_o as_o this_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o observe_v those_o as_o well_o as_o this_o as_o christ_n jesus_n as_o god-man_n it_o be_v as_o prejudice_n sufficient_a against_o all_o those_o suppose_v achillean_a argument_n that_o if_o they_o prove_v what_o they_o be_v plead_v for_o we_o must_v all_o turn_n jew_n but_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o query_n i_o must_v reflect_v upon_o one_o paragraph_n or_o two_o under_o it_o page_z 23._o wherein_o we_o have_v he_o lay_v down_o all_o his_o former_a great_a postulata_n that_o the_o lord_n christ_n make_v the_o world_n rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n observe_v bless_a and_o sanctify_v it_o by_o which_o repetition_n we_o may_v see_v how_o much_o he_o

which_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n institute_v this_o seventh-day-sabbath_n for_o and_o impose_v it_o upon_o adam_n and_o in_o
