A60480	The doctrine of the Church of England, concerning the Lord's Day, or Sunday-Sabbath as it is laid down in the liturgy, catechism, and book of homilies, vindicated from the vulgar errours of modern writers, and settled upon the only proper and sure basis of God's precept to Adam, and patriarchal practice, where an essay is laid down to prove, that the patriarchal Sabbath instituted, Gen. 2. 3. celebrated by the patriarchs before the Mosaick Law, and re-inforc'd in the fourth precept of the Decalogue, was the same day of the VVeek, viz. Sunday, which Christians celebrate in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world by the redemption of mankind.	Smith, John, Rector of St. Mary's in Colchester.	1683 (1683)	Wing S4110; ESTC R3081	78,815	242

a_o little_a before_o the_o promulgation_n of_o that_o on_o mount_n sinai_n viz._n at_o the_o first_o gather_v of_o manna_n or_o as_o lay_v a_o obligation_n upon_o you_o to_o observe_v that_o also_o

it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o you_o that_o you_o have_v not_o be_v create_v or_o die_v as_o soon_o as_o you_o be_v bear_v note_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o four_o precept_n when_o apply_v to_o the_o jew_n aught_o to_o be_v interpret_v as_o command_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o but_o as_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o appertain_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o age_n it_o command_v the_o celebration_n of_o the_o precise_a seven_o day_n whereon_o god_n rest_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o moses_n his_o exposition_n of_o this_o law_n do_v the_o common_a cry_n of_o modern_a expositor_n go_v who_o make_v it_o command_v a_o seven_o day_n to_o all_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o jew_n observe_v how_o unaccountable_a these_o expositor_n make_v the_o christian_a practice_n of_o keep_v sunday_n if_o that_o be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o four_o precept_n but_o only_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o see_v that_o precept_n enjoin_v the_o seven_o on_o which_o god_n rest_v and_o that_o upon_o this_o reason_n because_o god_n rest_v thereon_o and_o how_o justifiable_a the_o jewish_a practice_n be_v of_o keep_v saturday_n though_o that_o be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n

both_o in_o its_o form_n and_o reason_n and_o both_o peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n but_o neither_o of_o they_o applicable_a to_o other_o nation_n not_o the_o former_a for_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o patriarchal_a church_n see_v god_n have_v for_o that_o time_n of_o their_o separation_n from_o other_o nation_n assign_v they_o another_o day_n than_o that_o of_o the_o four_o

to_o the_o day_n command_v to_o be_v sanctify_v or_o the_o reason_n for_o its_o sanctification_n but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o equity_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o proportion_n of_o time_n but_o to_o all_o mankind_n save_o the_o jew_n at_o all_o time_n and_o will_v appertain_v to_o the_o jew_n when_o christ_n have_v make_v of_o that_o twain_o jew_n and_o gentile_n one_o and_o therefore_o

peculiar_a state_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o that_o present_a to_o who_o god_n have_v before_o the_o promulgation_n of_o the_o law_n on_o the_o holy_a mount_n appoint_v another_o day_n for_o their_o weekly_a sabbath_n than_o that_o whereon_o god_n have_v rest_v it_o have_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o have_v mention_v god_n finish_v his_o work_n of_o creation_n in_o six_o day_n and_o his_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o as_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o jew_n shall_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n whereon_o god_n wrought_v and_o therefore_o he_o omit_v that_o and_o assign_v another_o reason_n most_o proper_a and_o cogent_a and_o repeat_v no_o more_o of_o the_o precept_n but_o what_o be_v common_a to_o they_o and_o other_o nation_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v true_a what_o moses_n say_v these_o word_n the_o

it_o or_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o have_v be_v three_o several_a sabbath_n one_o of_o the_o patriarch_n before_o the_o law_n another_o of_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n and_o a_o three_o of_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n a_o consequence_n which_o a_o mahometan_a may_v perhaps_o not_o disgust_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v sound_v harsh_a in_o a_o christian_n ear._n arg._n 2._o there_o can_v no_o other_o justifiable_a account_n be_v give_v of_o christian_n celebrate_v sunday_n but_o this_o that_o the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o temporary_a and_o therefore_o to_o give_v place_n to_o that_o day_n that_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o begin_n by_o god_n example_n and_o precept_n give_v place_n i_o say_v to_o that_o at_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n without_o any_o new_a precept_n 1._o for_o if_o saturday-sabbath_n have_v be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o god_n rest_v and_o command_v adam_n to_o rest_v on_o and_o keep_v holy_a it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v unsanctified_a but_o by_o a_o precept_n as_o manifest_v and_o of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o that_o be_v whereby_o it_o be_v institute_v which_o i_o be_o confident_a can_v never_o be_v make_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o saturday_n to_o sunday_n and_o that_o which_o be_v allege_v for_o this_o come_v far_o short_a for_o what_o argumentative_a force_n can_v there_o be_v in_o christ_n rise_n his_o appear_v after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o celebrate_v religious_a assembly_n with_o his_o apostle_n ordinary_o on_o sunday_n in_o the_o apostle_n assemble_v on_o that_o day_n for_o religious_a worship_n what_o force_n i_o say_v can_v there_o be_v in_o all_o this_o for_o the_o unsanctify_a of_o saturday_n and_o give_v its_o crown_n to_o sunday_n comparable_a to_o the_o express_a command_n of_o god_n ground_v upon_o his_o own_o example_n to_o sanctify_v saturday_n nay_o what_o be_v man_n plead_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sabbath_n upon_o supposition_n that_o saturday_n be_v god_n day_n of_o rest_n and_o command_v by_o he_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o a_o set_n up_o of_o their_o own_o conceit_n and_o miscollect_v conclusion_n that_o because_o saturday_n be_v institute_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o sunday_n be_v the_o day_n wherein_o christ_n perfect_v man_n redemption_n by_o his_o resurrection_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o saturday_n must_v give_v place_n to_o sunday_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o god_n express_a precept_n if_o saturday_n be_v the_o day_n intend_v in_o the_o four_o precept_n or_o gen._n 2._o 2._o but_o then_o i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o saturday-sabbatarians_a crow_n as_o if_o i_o adjudge_v the_o victory_n to_o they_o for_o upon_o the_o ground_n that_o i_o have_v lay_v the_o jewish_a saturday-sabbath_n be_v calculate_v particular_o to_o that_o nation_n and_o therefore_o temporary_a and_o ceremonial_a must_v with_o
