A17292Hold you the Sunday?
A17292How so, I pray you?

A17292If they object, But Quo jure, by what right doth the Lords day take the place of the Sabbath day?
A17292Is Christs Law so sweet and easie, as that it gives indulgence to profane Libertinisme?

A17292or were they novell Sabbatarians?
A17292was not S. Augustine a Godly Father?
A17292were these any way inclined unto the Disciplinarian Faction?
A17292what?
A91155And why should not the Lords- day be squared by the first day on which our Saviour arose?
A91155But how did these dayes begin and end, in Gods account?
A91155But how is this Consequent made good?
A91155But was not his creating of us, in holynesse and righteousnesse after his own image and likenesse, as transcendent an act of love as this?
A91155Cur hanc ● b causam& nobis Deus praecepit, A VESPERA SABBATI ORDIRI DOMINICUM?
A91155For when can a day of rest so aptly commence, as when men begin their rest?
A91155How these dayes are and ought to be computed?
A91155How they come to know, that such a Change was de Facto made, when no Scripture rev ● als or intimates it?
A91155Is it not celebrated principally in remembrance of his Resurrection on that day?
A91155Is not the Lords- day the first day, and the first day the Lords- day?
A91155It is a Querie, not yet resolved amongst Divines, when and by whom the observation of the Lords- day for a Sabbath, was instituted?
A91155Sixthly, I would demand of the Objectors, when this Assemb ● y at Troas began?
A91155The question then for the clearing of this Article of Christs resurrection upon the third day, will be onely this; What is meant here by three days?
A91155The question then will be, when, and at what time of the day, this praying standing, began and ended?
A91155The sole doubt will be what evening this was?
A91155What can be more direct or ● ositive than this?
A91155What can be more full and punctuall than this?
A91155Where they did ● ver read, that occasions happening upon any dayes, did alter or bound on ● the beginning and end of dayes?
A91155Wherefore I shall here demand of the Objectors, how it appears that Christs Resurrection made such a change as they pretend?
A91155Whether at Evening, Morning, or Midnight?
A91155Which being so, if it should begin and end at Midnight, what Christians usually do, or can conveniently begin& end it thus?
A91155Yea but they confirm it too as well as say it: How I pray?
A91155and from what time they did begin?
A91155and how sweetly, how comfortably may they embrace the inception, and take their farewel of the conclusion of it?
A91155and what Evening it is, Saint John here speaks of?
A91155day?
A91155demanding this Question; How long ought the Holy day to be kept and hallowed?
A91155the dayes ever bounding out the occasions( which we say happened upon such a day and houre) not the occasions the dayes?
A91155their resting on it from other labors, being one part of the solemn zation of it?
A91155whether that which we call Sunday night( as many erroneously mistake) or Saturday night?
A91155would you not have it like that first day on which Christ arose, not different from it?
A67379( that''s against the Fourth Commandment:) Or must they by consent agree upon the day?
A67379( this I should think, if he would give me leave:) Or must they keep it some upon one day some on the other?
A6737910. concerning the Feast of Pentecost?
A67379And Tradition is what he takes great pleasure to exclaim against; If that be admitted( saith he) where shall we stop?
A67379And When must he rectify that account?
A67379And how do we know but that these three days were three Sabbath days?
A67379And is not this a goodly proof?
A67379And that of what Pharaoh said to Moses and Aaron, Why do you Hinder their work, you make the people Rest from their burthens?
A67379And then, why should not our Sabbath be on Saturday as theirs was?
A67379And why may we not as well conclude that the day of his Resurrection was also a Sabbath?
A67379And why not?
A67379And why not?
A67379But I pray, How can he tell, otherwise than by Tradition, whether our Saturday or our Sunday, be the Seventh day in course from the Creation?
A67379But can any man think it is meant of any day?
A67379But doth he think it to be meant of any of these?
A67379But how doth this concern his Coming to Iudgment?
A67379But suppose we do allow that one Sabbath is to be called Sabbatum what are we to call two or more Sabbaths?
A67379But then as to that, Why the First day rather than another?
A67379But what is all this to Sunday?
A67379But what then?
A67379But when it is, to go three days into the Wilderness to keep a Feast to the Lord; what is this to a Weekly Sabbath?
A67379But why not as angry with the Monday?
A67379But why not?
A67379But why upon Saturday if on that day( as he would have us think) they worshiped Saturn?
A67379But why upon a Saturday rather than a Sunday?
A67379But will he say so as to the Resurrection?
A67379Doth he think that this Fourteenth day at even was the end of the Thirteenth day, the Fourteenth day then beginning?
A67379Doth not the fair prospect of the place import thus much, that they were then met to break Bread, as being the first day of the week?
A67379Doth our Author think the name of Sunday to be as old as Iob''s times?
A67379How much less Man who is a Worm, and the Son of Man which is a Worm?
A67379If Christs Presence and Preaching will prove the Ascension day to be a Sabbath, why should it not as well prove the Resurrection day to be a Sabbath?
A67379If he say that the account is to be rectified by the way( before he comes home) then Where?
A67379If on Monday the Heathens( as he would have us think) did worship the Moon, as the Sun on Sunday, why is he not as angry with that?
A67379If you ask, How much sooner?
A67379If you ask, How this can be?
A67379Must not they be Sabbata?
A67379Must they never Restore the Sabbath because they do not know the day?
A67379Or must they begin upon a New Account?
A67379Or,( if that be too hard a question) whether of the two is the Seventh day of the Iewish week?
A67379Then, to what purpose are these alleged, in disparagement of the Christian Sabbath?
A67379What doth this Gentleman think( in such case) should be done?
A67379What is Man, that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A67379What other occasion was there of mentioning what day of the Week it was?
A67379Who, but our Lord Iesus Christ, that is Lord of the Sabbath, hath power to institute a Sabbath day?
A67379and by What rule?
A67379and which day of the Week shall he reckon that to be?
A67379or When?
A67379or must they keep it one on the one day, and the other on the other?
A67379or other of the Week days?
A67379they must cast up their accounts, tell their money,& c. because they were to offer according as the Lord hath blessed them?
A67379what of this?
A67379when he comes home, or somewhere by the way?
A30197A new Covenant, and why not then a new resting- day to the Church?
A30197And in that he saith, There remains a Rest, referring to that of David, What is it, if it signifies not, that the other Rests remain not?
A30197And shall we not imitate our Lord, nor the Church that was immediately acted by him in this, and the Churches their fellows?
A30197And what day so fit as the Lords day for this?
A30197And why can they not as well keep the other Sabbaths, as the Sabbaths of Months, of Years, and the Jubilee?
A30197But how could be either the one or the other, if the Seventh ▪ day- Sabbath was taught men by the Light of Nature, which is the moral Law?
A30197But if indeed the first day of the week be the new Christian Sabbath, why is there no more spoken of its iustitution in the Testament of Christ?
A30197But is there yet another reason why this holy duty should, in special as it is, be commanded to be performed on the first day of the week?
A30197But what day is this?
A30197But what day?
A30197But what kind of being had the Seventh- day- sabbath, and other Jewish Rites and Ceremonies, that by Christs Resurrection was taken away?
A30197But why must he be imposed upon?
A30197But why the Seventh day?
A30197But why, I say, is this day, on which our Lord rose from the dead, Nominated as it is?
A30197I say, why are things thus left with us?
A30197If they say, they retain the day, but change their manner of observation thereof; I ask, Who has commanded them so to do?
A30197Now if he means their ordinary Sabbaths, or that called the Seventh- day- sabbath, why doth he joyn the Winter thereto?
A30197Now if it be asked, What Promise is intailed to our First- day- sabbath?
A30197Now, saith the Text, when he bringeth him thus into the world, he requireth that worship be done unto HIM: When?
A30197Or whether that day, as a Sabbath, was afterwards by the Apostles imposed upon the Churches of the Gentiles?
A30197Take but the shadow thereof away: Or what shadow now is left in it since its institution as to Divine Service is taken long since from it?
A30197That which we read is this; Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldest not eat?
A30197The Law is not of Faith, why then should Grace be by Christians expected by observation of the Law?
A30197Upon the first day: what, or which first day of this, or that, of the third or fourth week of the month?
A30197What can be more plain?
A30197What can be more plain?
A30197What is it then?
A30197What is it then?
A30197What is it?
A30197What shall be done to them that curse this day, and would not that the Stars should give their light thereon?
A30197What then shall we say, when we see a first Practice turned into holy Custom?
A30197Where are the Tables of Stone and this Law as therein contained?
A30197Where do we find the Churches to gather together thereon?
A30197Where is the Scripture that saith that this Lord of the Sabbath commanded his Church, from that time, to do any part of Church- service thereon?
A30197Whether the Seventh day- Sabbath did not fall, as such, with the rest of the Jewish Rites and Ceremonies?
A30197Whether the Seventh- day- Sabbath is Of, or made known to man by the Law and Light of Nature?
A30197Why was it not sufficient to say he rose again; or, be rose again the third day?
A30197and his Name not be, but of a common regard on that day?
A30197and shall we not take that notice thereof as to follow the Lord Jesus and the Churches herein?
A30197did he finish HIS work thereon?
A30197has he chosen that day?
A30197or why must the old Sabbath be joyned to this new Ministration?
A30197ought not I also to set this day apart to sing the songs of my Redemption in?
A30197why was their name, for all that, blotted out, and this day onely kept alive in the Churches?
A5404420. be not morall and perpetuall, as well as the other nine be, yea or no?
A5404420. then what law did he mean?
A540444.24?
A54044Again, was the law, which Moses administred to the Jews, a law of Liberty, or a law of bondage?
A54044And he that is in the Spirit, and hath received the Law of Life from the Spirit, knovveth not Christ after the flesh, hovv much less Moses?
A54044But may any of these Laws be broken?
A54044But was there any thing of the ten words a shadow?
A54044But what is the substance of the law which abides?
A54044Did ye receive the Spirit?
A54044Do they not all command abiding things?
A54044How not according to that?
A54044How not faultless?
A54044How was it within them?
A54044I say, what was wanting of all this on Gods part?
A54044If God write them in the new Covenant, and in the new Tables, shal not I read them there?
A54044If God write these things in the heart, are they not to be read there?
A54044Is his law now to be read in the shadow, or with the outward eye, or to be looked for under the old mercy- seat of the outward tabernacle?
A54044Is not the Spiritual City, House, or Temple which God builds, the Ierusalem or Temple of the new Covenant?
A54044Is not the Spiritual Glory, the Glory?
A54044Is not this the choice House to God?
A54044Now consider seriously, whither should a believer go for this laws?
A54044Now when was the time when Paul was alive without the Law?
A54044Shall he give me an eye to read, and shall I not read therewith?
A54044So was not their circumcision a shadow of the circumcision which is to pass upon the Hearts of God''s chosen?
A54044The Pharisees demanded of him when the Kingdom of God should come?
A54044Their City Jerusalem a Tipe of the Jehovah- shammah?
A54044Their Priests and Levites Tipes of the Spiritual Priesthood, which was to offer the pure offering and Spiritual Sacrifices among the Gentiles?
A54044Was it not when he was righteous, when he was whole?
A54044Was not their Canaan, or Holy- land, a type of the true Holy Spiritual rest which the faith gives entrance into?
A54044Was the law as it was administred by Moses, the Royall Law?
A54044Were not their Sacrifices types or representations of the Sacrifices of praise and of a broken Heart?
A54044Were ye children of the New Covenant?
A54044What could he have done more for his Vineyard, than he did do?
A54044What doth this Covenant contain?
A54044What is the Royall Law?
A54044What should I mention any more?
A54044What should I say more?
A54044When that is come, which it signified, is not its work at an end?)
A54044When the day of Messiah dawns, shall not Moses his shadows fly away?
A54044Why did ye not keep to your rule?
A54044Why did ye not wait on the Spirit, and receive the Law from the New Jerusalem, from whence it issues forth to the family of believers?
A54044Will God write in my heart, and will he not give me an eye to read?
A54044and not one jot or tittle of it to pass so long as heaven and earth remain?
A54044can there any just blame be found in any thing that proceeded from the Lord?
A54044had ye a measure of faith given you?
A54044or is it the Royall Law as it is administred by the Son, who is the King of Saints, and writes his law in their hearts as their King?
A54044that they might not flie on the Sabbath, knowing that their flight would fall out more then thirty yeares after his death?
A54044the Land of Life and Righteousness, the true Land of rest to the living by Faith?
A54044the circumcision of the Heart, the choice circumcision?
A54044the inward Jew, the Jew indeed?
A54044the offering up of praise and of a broken Heart, the acceptable Sacrifice?
A54044the other sacrificing for sin?
A54044to which Covenant?
A54044was there any sin in the Holy Law& Ministration of God by Moses?
A54044were ye new creatures?
A54044what is the Law of Liberty?
A54044what was wanting of Love, of Care, of Goodness, of Kindness, of Mercy, of Gentleness, of any thing that a People could desire of their God?

A41671And why that day?
A41671Are all those houres to be sanctified?
A41671By Whom are they performed?
A41671Fie on such sensuall and unreasonable conceits?
A41671For if all should utter their owne mind together, by their own severall voices, what confusion would there be?
A41671How appeares it to be morall?
A41671How can all that time be sanctified?
A41671How doe the fore- mentioned meanes further duties of piety?
A41671How may that absolute necessity be knowne?
A41671How may they be so done?
A41671IS the Sabbath morall, or ceremoniall?
A41671Is it not then most meet and equall, that we should give a seventh to God and to the honour of his Name?
A41671Is man deprived of that time which is best spent?
A41671Is our Lords day now the true Sabbath?
A41671May servil works be done on the Sabbath, though they hinder duties of piety?

A41671day?
A41671may not God in this case say, is not my demand equall?
A41671when will the Sabbath be gone?
A41671which is spent in serving God, edifying his soule, and promoting the eternall salvation thereof?
A41671who complaines of being deprived of that time which is spent, or rather mispent in idlenesse and wickednesse?
A1013017?
A1013019 But how doth this consent with their decisions concerning messengers and posts?
A1013029?
A1013044. without expression of the particular day of that week?
A10130And did not that promise containe the whole substance of the Covenant of grace?
A10130And indeed, doth not she sanctifie places, when she appointeth, and setteth them apart, that in them God may be served?
A10130And is it not as just for Christians, as for Iewes?
A10130And why?
A10130But of what?
A10130But was it then by keeping the Sabbath day, or any other of the Iewish rites and ceremonies?
A10130But what if he be poore himselfe, having no more than is needfull, or not so much as is behoofefull for him and his familie?
A10130But what if he hath not bought it?
A10130Doth it not remaine alwaies?
A10130Evnuch in his owne Countrey?
A10130For by what consequence shall it follow, that by this miracle IESUS CHRIST intended to make that day an ordinary day of rest, and of Gods service?
A10130For how ordinary is it in the same sequele of a discourse to diversifie the particular subjects, and to passe from one to another?
A10130For how shall a Christian settle his minde upon this distinction of present and imminent necessities?
A10130For if it be not referred thither, When was it that the Lord said and ordained to the Israelites, that the seventh day should be their rest?
A10130For if it had beene observed, how could it be said, that in Enos his time men began to call upon the Name of the Lord?
A10130For if it were a thing that he left to their libert ● by the Law, wherefore did hee not raine Manna upon them on the Sabbath day?
A10130For where and from whence is there any evidence of this?
A10130For where is that written?
A10130For who hath told them that the Disciples did keepe that course?
A10130God will he not grant them to us as well as to them?
A10130Have they to underprop this their assertion any cleere and evident testimony brought from the unreprocheable truth of holy Scripture?
A10130How came he to that height of holinesse and righteousnesse that was in him?
A10130How could that be, seeing he was before Moses, and the making of his Lawes?
A10130How did he sanctifie it( speaking of the Sabbath?)
A10130If they knew it, why did they not practise it of themselves?
A10130In a word, doth hee not claime all other things which hee commanded to the Iewes concerning his service, as his owne?
A10130Is it, because nothing can be seene in it figurative of Iesus Christ, as in all other signes?
A10130May he not be in such a condition and estate, that he hath not sufficiently wherewith to entertaine himselfe and his family?
A10130Moreover; Gods blessing and sanctification can it have an indefinite and uncertaine object; so that God in particular sanctified nothing?
A10130Must we in this case be carelesse, stand still, and looke on?
A10130Nobis Christianis non tanta támve severa& rigida cessatio imposita est: Non& ex lege Constantini licet& serere& metere die Dominico, si commodum sit?
A10130Now if this example bindeth us not at this time under the New Testament, as shall be proved hereafter, how farre lesse obliged it Adam?
A10130Now what certainty or probability is there, that Iesus Christ on the first day of his appearing to his Disciples gave them this ordinance?
A10130Now, what can all these Trades- men alleage, but the losse of some temporall profit?
A10130Quis prohibuit, quin Ecclesia, ficut diem septimum transtult in diem Dominicum: sic etiam illos reliquos dies festos in alios transferre potuerit?
A10130Quomodo autem sanctificavit?
A10130Their condition and nature giveth it unto them?
A10130This shall it profane the day of holy exercises rather than that?
A10130To doe nothing at all shall it bee more acceptable to GOD, then to doe a worke that is honest and lawfull in it selfe?
A10130Vpon what grounds is it said, that it was not typicall and figurative as all the rest?
A10130Was it because God rested on that day?
A10130Was it by observing the Mosaicall Law?
A10130Were not the Iewes spred over the whole Roman Empire before CHRIST came into the World?
A10130Were not the ten Tribes transported out of their native soile, and dispersed among the Medes, Perses, and other Nations?
A10130What if among the Israelites, many stumbled at the same stone?
A10130What shall hee doe in this case?
A10130Where is to be found a seventh day unlimited, wherein God did rest?
A10130Where shall wee find before this time the word and the ordinance thereof?
A10130Wherefore then make they an unequall distinction, and permit some travell to them, rather than to others?
A10130Whereof a signe?
A10130Who seeth not in this a manifest absurditie?
A10130Who seeth not the manifest absurdity of such an illation?
A10130Will any Divine, any Lawgiver, any Logician make of this a probleme, and hold for the affirmative?
A10130Will they say, that from the creation of the world God blessed and hallowed that day to men?
A10130doth this right belong to all things that are of the positive Law?
A10130that he prescribed not any before the Law, and hath not injoyned any to Christians under the Gospell?
A6784910. whom he calls greedy dogs, feeding themselves, that are ignorant, doth he only brand them for being ignorant of reading Scripture?
A6784914. and observed by † Cyprian, as he faithfully expounded the Scriptures)?
A6784921. a And yet where are any Canons established for punishing their absence from Sabbathday- meetings?
A67849303. n. 37,& c. The Martyrs being called into judgment, and ask''d of the Proconsul, Whether they had done their Collect, or celebrated the Lords day?
A678499. why should it not keep holy the Lords Day, since the Apostolical Church kept its meetings on that day?
A67849?
A67849And how is it, that thou fearest not, nor tremblest to hear of these things against such Oracles?
A67849And what cause was unknown to the most?
A67849And what if we say, that the Aegyptians would not suffer the Israelites, while they were their slaves, to be idle on the seventh day?
A67849And when were such sort of meetings kept, but at that time whereon the congregations of the common people were made?
A67849And who is to determine those dayes, but him, whose the day and night are?
A67849Arbogastes being entertained at a feast by the King of France, and asked, Whether he knew b Ambrose?
A67849Are these fruits beseeming so long a preaching of the holy Gospel?
A67849As his custome was; who will he be that shall think the places dedicated for the Churches assemblies are not to be gone unto by Christians?
A67849As sometimes Sisinnius being asked, why he would wash himself twice every day in the publick bath, being a Bishop?
A67849But for what end were they instituted?
A67849But how could the people be instructed in the Scripture read, without an interpretation?
A67849But who will say, that the piety established by new Canons, for observing that solemnity, was not known to the former Christians?
A67849But who will there be found desirous of Divine knowledge, that will not be weary of these fooleries?
A67849But who, well in his wits, shall judge, that a day in this manner is to be dedicated to the Good and Great God?
A67849Do you cry out of silent or unprofitable Ministers?
A67849Dost thou not know that these dayes are Sisters?
A67849First, Whether in the compass of every week, must the Church keep holy a certain day, by Gods institution?
A67849For how often do we meet with this phrase in the beginning of their Treatises, Yesterday''s Sermon?
A67849For whenas he requires the end, why should he not also prescribe the means directly conducing to that end?
A67849For why should the Lord indulge a further liberty to the men of our age, in his service, than he granted them?
A67849He asks his wife why she would go to the Prophet that day, since it was neither new moon nor Sabbath?
A67849Here some make a question, whether the day of their second meeting was the eighth from the first, or after the eighth day?
A67849How could men spend one day of seven in the serious reading and hearing of Gods Word, and not grow in the understanding of it?
A67849If it be better in those mens judgment, to add of the profane to the sacred, than to take from the sacred and add to the profane?
A67849If it had been the Christians duty to observe Sabbaths, why had the Catholicks imputed its observation as a fault to the Hereticks?
A67849If on holy dayes we must abstain from lawful, and necessary labours, must we therefore attend upon unlawful, vain, and unhonest works?
A67849If others perform not their duty, will you sin for company, and yet condemn them?
A67849If well, why do you blame them?
A67849If you think they do ill, why will you imitate them?
A67849It is sometimes put for the place that''s set aside for the Church to meet in: comest thou in Dominicum without a sacrifice?
A67849It was not therefore the purpose of the Reverend Fathers, to define, whether the Sabbath was simply observed of the Patriarchs, or not?
A67849It''s considered, whether before the Babylonish captivity the interpretating of the Law was in use among the Jews on their Sabbath dayes?
A67849Lastly, I''le only add this, What if those silly women believed it to be a work of charity by the example of Dorcas?
A67849Moreover, who will deny that all who have given their name to Christ, are bound to relieve their necessities?
A67849Secondly, Whether the Jewish Sabbath be abrogated?
A67849Secondly, by what Authority that time is imposed upon the Church, Divine, or Humane?
A67849Shall the licentiousness of evil manners be piety?
A67849So when he answers the question, why he commanded not the Sabbath to be celebrated on another day?
A67849Sometimes also for the Symboles of the Lords Supper; Numquid, saith Cyprian, Dominicum post coenam celebrare debemus?
A67849The second Question which I have propounded follows; namely, Whether the Church must keep the whole Lords day holy?
A67849These are those dances of the Angels,*( and what can be more blessed, than upon the earth to imitate the dance of Angels?)
A67849Thirdly, What can be brought out of the books of the New Testament to confirm the keeping holy the first day in the week?
A67849Thirdly, in what things the solemn sanctifying thereof consisteth?
A67849V. Whether the bare reading of Scriptures in the Church- assembly be properly preaching?
A67849Was that your Covenant with Christ, that you would serve him, if others did, or if none forbad you, or else not?
A67849We, passing by this rather curious, than sound Disputation, Whether the Ordinance of the Lords day be an institution of God or his Apostles?
A67849What if all the rest of the Town denied food or cloathing to the poor?
A67849What is it that he hath sanctified it?
A67849What needs more?
A67849When therefore the Proconsul demands of them, Why Dominicum egissent,& c?
A67849When we count the causes of this will, why should we not apply our minds with Gunther amnus to bewail the heynous violation of the Lords day?
A67849Whence, of necessity piety must fail; and that being extinct, what other thing can men expect, but that a tempest of all evils should be ingruent?
A67849Where there is a profitable publick Ministry, what a furtherance would this be to its success?
A67849Whether a Reader of Scripture may deservedly, and properly in the Church of God be called a Preacher of them?
A67849Whether any such was ever granted of him for the countrey mens sakes or no?
A67849Whether the bare reading of Scripture in the Church assembly, be properly preaching?
A67849Which things being well observed, with what face can the Papists alledge Chrysostom, for denying the people a liberty to sing in the Church?
A67849Which, through the importunate impulse of a vehement and violent spirit, make a sound which signifies nothing certain?
A67849Who doth not see, that in Theodorets opinion, from the beginning the Sabbath was set apart for the worship of God from other dayes?
A67849Who will say the Sabbath is holy?
A67849Why had they not also done the like in the Feast of the Passover, if it had been instituted by Apostolical authority?
A67849With what eyes, saith he, lookest thou on the Lords Day, that despisest the Sabbath?
A67849Would your obligation to feed and cloath them, think you, be the less or the greater?
A67849Yet who will from that sanction compare the observation of that day, ordained of Constantine, and not of the Apostles, with the Lords day?
A67849an occasion of Luxury be reckoned Religion?
A67849and do you think that silence and unprofitableness in the Governour of a Family is no crime?
A67849and how the reading of Scripture may be called preaching?
A67849and that in celebrating the Lords day, all the Churches of Christ through the whole world should follow one and the same rule?
A67849and who will say, that the Apostles do not command us to imitate them, when in holy records their example is represented unto us?
A67849are not those examples partly of silly women, that exercise whorish tricks in the streets, and partly of them that bawl in the Theatres?
A67849doest thou not think that God is invisibly present here, who measureth the motion of every man, and hath a consideration of the conscience?
A67849doest thou not think, that the Angels do stand by this stupendous table, and with reverence compass it about?
A67849how therefore wilt thou beg the pardon of thy sins?
A67849how wilt thou receive the Lord into thy house, who dost so contemptuously offer him a prayer?
A67849i. e. by what authority he did set upon these new things, and unheard of in former ages?
A67849in the bowels of antiquity?
A67849it is the same as if he should ask, Why they kept their meetings,( as the Proconsul himself expresseth it) or Dominicam Collectam egissent a?
A67849or will affirm, that the Church at this day is not obliged to observe them?
A67849that if thou reproach the one, thou offendest the other?
A67849therefore doest thou discover a disordered mind, in clamours that signifie nothing certain?
A67849what a sanctifying is this, that wants Well, without which, no action can be acceptable to God?
A67849who can deny that the Gentiles as well as the Jews, were obliged by the instinct of nature, to worship God their great Creatour?
A67849who sayes, What means that haste of his?
A67849— Quis talia fando Temperat à lacrymis?
A67849— — Who can forbear At telling such events to shed a tear?
A47791And therefore when Aquinas had framed this question, Whether the commandment concerning sanctifying the Sabbath was fitly delivered in the Decalogue?
A47791And was there any other?
A47791And what necessity of bringing these feasts within the compasse and obligation of this precept, which have commands proper and peculiar to themselves?
A47791As Scripture saith not they did; so reason, that they did not: For how could the vocall prolation by many Angels but generate confusion of sound?
A47791Be it then Positive: is it therefore ceremoniall, or not morall?
A47791Besides, Gods house hath been ever thought profaned and polluted by sports and meetings of good fellowship, why also not his day?
A47791Besides, the question was propounded as well to the Lay as Clergy- Christians, of whom it had been absurd to expostulate, Num Dominicum egissent?
A47791Besides, when and where did God open this his mind?
A47791But admit this to be the tenet of some few extravagants; yet are not our fears just?
A47791But here it is demanded, p Is the old Sabbath translated into the Lords day?
A47791But here it will be demanded, By whom this translation was made?
A47791But here perhaps you will demand, What?
A47791But the unsoundnesse of the foundation argueth the assertion erroneous: for, First, will nothing but expresse Text satisfie you?
A47791But what find you in Cyprian, your Fathers, or universall particular?
A47791But what if Amesius had been born and lived an alien to this Kingdome, had he then escaped the contagion of this errour?
A47791But what was the issue?
A47791But what?
A47791But what?
A47791By any commandment of Christ, where is it?
A47791Did S. Paul deliver herein his own opinion?
A47791Did not devout sequestration to pious exercises as well sute and become the souls of them as of these?
A47791Doth he not elswhere say as much of the Sabbath, as here of the Lords day?
A47791Doth the end of dispute depend merely upon what they have said?
A47791First, Christs Apostles did not conceal Christs command: for what if perhaps it be not extant in their writings?
A47791First, what needs an Obligation be derived from the last precept of the first Table, when the first of the latter is alsufficient?
A47791For God imposed upon man a calling of husbandry: should he so incessantly have intended his tillage, as never to intermit, never to give over?
A47791For are you able to unmake Tradition?
A47791For did they alwayes observe whatsoever was commanded them?
A47791For is it not said, God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it?
A47791For might not( I pray) this command, this Institution, be dictated to Moses at the same time whereof he wrote?
A47791For what honour could accrue to God through an idle and lazie rest?
A47791For what is meant by Gods sanctifying of the seventh day, but the application of it to divine worship?
A47791For what say you To Whitgift?
A47791For where is it said that the Angels pronounced the Law?
A47791For would he then have imposed the outward observation of Sacraments, if we had not been obliged to them?
A47791God had from the Creation to the Law, from the Law to Christ, a day appropriated( and that by himself) to his worship: what?
A47791God injoyneth the future King should write him a copy of this Law in a book: Now I pray, tell me, is Deuteronomy onely understood by this Law?
A47791God strictly injoyned that every male child eight dayes old should be circumcised: was this performed by the Israelites in the wildernesse?
A47791Had not the Church before Moses as ample a share in the blessings which result from it, as that since?
A47791Have you kept the Lords Day?
A47791He mentions here no command; was therefore their observation of the Sabbath a voluntary usage?
A47791Here we see these holy Saints had a Law for the celebrating of this day; and have we none?
A47791How can this be?
A47791How could the day be lesse sanctified by beasts then men?
A47791I answer, That Peter and the other two Apostles were too blame, I not deny; but were they in Cathedra, or doing any Pastorall work?
A47791If all the other dayes of the week contained both night and day, why should not the Lords Day have as large a proportion of time as the rest?
A47791If he was their Priest, why may not you be mine?
A47791If holly to Gods service, where have recreations a room?
A47791If then it was the first day, of what is it meant?
A47791If yea, what then shall hinder but that we think the Sabbath instituted in that very article of time whereof Moses wrote?
A47791If yea; by whom?
A47791Is England in this assertion divided from the continent of other Christian Churches?
A47791Is it likely that the Patriarchs failed in so necessary a dutie?
A47791Is it now likely that the doctrine of so eminent a Teacher as Origen should perswade none to conformitie with what he here delivered?
A47791Is not this benefit of Creation common and universall?
A47791Is not this fine stuff?
A47791Is there any absurdity compelleth us to think otherwise?
A47791Is there any portion of Scripture, any article of Faith, the generall explication of the hole Church repugnant to it?
A47791It is not meet so to do: shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Aegyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
A47791Lastly, how cometh this morall equitie to be a peculiar of the Gospel onely?
A47791May we not examine the matter yet a little further?
A47791May we not question whether these men spake as they meant, whether their arguments jumped together?
A47791Men they were and might erre, yea and did( every one) in other things, why might they not in this?
A47791Moses was commanded to sanctifie the Israelites the third day, that is, to prepare them, as you say: To prepare them?
A47791Nay doth not preparation imply application, are they not coordinate and coincident together?
A47791Nay, saith he not as much of the Lords day, as of the Sabbath?
A47791Of this it is controverted, what day the precept enjoyneth, whether the Jewish Sabbath, the Saturday, or any other particular and expresse day?
A47791Our Saviour is ascended, and the holy Ghost descendeth; but on what day?
A47791Quantum mutatus ab illo?
A47791Quis, Who gave the precept?
A47791Secondly, admit them for severall functions: where I pray learn you that they had a distinct inspiration, according to those severall functions?
A47791Secondly, is it not a mere non sequitur?
A47791That he assisted them in their office, both of writing and preaching the Gospel is most certain: but did he onely then?
A47791That restriction from eating bloud, or things offered to idoles?
A47791The Decalogue was indeed given to the Jews; but was it as Jews, or a Nation distinct by themselves?
A47791The Jewish Sabbath was questionlesse indeed abolished, but was the Sabbath of the fourth commandment so?
A47791The fourth Commandment bindeth us to yield God a convenient time for his worship: Ergò It obligeth us to observe the festivals of the Church?
A47791The seventh is the Sabbath: The seventh?
A47791These were all peculiar to the Jews: if the commandment of the Sabbath was so too, how cometh it to passe they are thus discriminated, thus severed?
A47791They were indeed our Saviours executours, performers of his will; but was his hole will exemplified in Scripture?
A47791This was their policy against the Heathen, might not they use it also against the Jews, with whom they were in continuall conflict?
A47791To Andrews n?
A47791To Bacon o?
A47791To Donne m?
A47791To Hooker l?
A47791To be a preamble and preparation to the subsequent Sabbath?
A47791To whom sooner then to your self, Sir, should I bring this my petty oblation?
A47791U ● rùm praeceptum de sanctificatione Sabbat ●, convenienter trad ● tur inter praecepta Decalogi?
A47791Was not this Feast some solemn time consecrated and commanded of God to be observed?
A47791Well, be the Lords Day Divine, be it Immutable, what then?
A47791Well; but then there is an interfering, a jarring betwixt Scripture and Scripture, how shall they be reconciled?
A47791Well; but will one in a week serve the turn?
A47791Were the bodies both of man and beast before the Law of a more brassie and adamantine durablenesse then after?
A47791What I pray, did God intend those religious actions as the end of the precept?
A47791What is this Blessing, but the dispensing a peculiar favour towards it?
A47791What say you now, Sir?
A47791What say you now, Sir?
A47791What say you to these?
A47791What then shall we say?
A47791What, not quench an house of fire?
A47791What?
A47791When will the New- moon be gone that we may sell our corn?
A47791Where learned you this Logick?
A47791White b the same also?
A47791Who promulgated it?
A47791With them?
A47791and can you demonstratively prove it so?
A47791and if it contained onely daylight, then there was a night to spare, whereof I would gladly know what should become: Should the Saturday have it all?
A47791and ought it not then as freely, as frequently to celebrate its sacred Festivall?
A47791and the Sabbath that we may set forth wheat?
A47791and then with what face can it be gain- said by any that either is or would be a Bishop?
A47791and was this a Law that bound themselves onely, and not at all the succeeding Church?
A47791and why one in a week, rather then in a moneth or yeare?
A47791are all Apostolicall Traditions immutable?
A47791are we obliged to observe it with that severe and rigid vacation, which the Jewish Sabbath required?
A47791because the word signifieth Destination in Jeremy, must it needs inferre as much in Genesis?
A47791did he onely wait upon them in the publication of the Gospel, and abandon them in the moderation of the Church?
A47791do not all participate of it, but the elect especially and inexplicably?
A47791do not all the dayes in the week hold by Gavelkind?
A47791doth not Apostolicall Institution imply an equall Obligation both concerning the continuance of time and restraint from labour?
A47791for did they alwayes so?
A47791from Christ in the Gospel, or from the Apostles in their Epistles?
A47791hath he anywhere revealed it?
A47791hath he lesse reason to require it under the Gospel?
A47791he knew it lawfull to cure a crazie body, and was it sinne to consolidate a crackt estate upon the Sabbath?
A47791how come you to know Gods intention?
A47791how?
A47791how?
A47791if Perkins was the first that took up this tenet, who I pray laid it down?
A47791if yea, then tell me, is not that overture, that declaration of his intendment equipollent to a command?
A47791in corporeall presence?
A47791in this precept, and at the giving of the Law?
A47791is it like they would constitute a Law to expire with themselves?
A47791is the determination of this one in seven in our power?
A47791is there nothing else required?
A47791it was justifiable to drag a beast out of the ditch, why not also land out of the oppressours claws on that day when it could not be done on another?
A47791l. 3. c. 11. and infinite others: indeed what needs more?
A47791might not the precept be given now, though the execution of the precept was adjourned?
A47791nay, is it not most likely it was so?
A47791never invoked, never praised God?
A47791no doubt it was; for will- worship is to God abominable: Did they keep this Feast?
A47791not provide necessary food?
A47791not water a beast?
A47791nothing but to have them in a readinesse, that they lasily wait the time or so?
A47791of a naturall day from sun to sun, or of an artificiall from the sun- rise to his set?
A47791on some indefinite time after eight dayes, as you b would have it?
A47791or could he simul& semel at one instant, intend both his vocation and Gods worship?
A47791shall this prodigious Prolepsis?
A47791should he have spared no time to exercise himself in the contemplation of his Creatour, the truest object of perfect beatitude?
A47791that he lived like an Atheist?
A47791that of collections for the poore every Lords Day?
A47791the first of the week?
A47791to make that no Tradition which is Tradition?
A47791to teach what themselves think fit?
A47791was Gods Church then so supinely governed, or indeed so not governed at all, that no time was set apart for solemn assemblies?
A47791was every act of their superintendency a spell to drive him away?
A47791was it not, That the first day of the week should be consecrated to God and spirituall negotiations?
A47791was not the sweet repose of lucid intervalls equally necessary and welcome to both?
A47791was not this a command?
A47791was the doctrine they taught inspired from above, and were their constitutions Ecclesiasticall an humane device?
A47791were not both these parts of the Apostolicall function?
A47791were they not Apostles, i. e. sent to do the one as well as the other?
A47791were they not conditioned, not attempered alike?
A47791what I pray is an Ordinance but a Law?
A47791what could be left for him to finish and actually to perfect on the seventh day?
A47791what did they ordain?
A47791what institute?
A47791what seventh?
A47791what this Sanctifying, but a separation and consecration of it to holy worship?
A47791what worship could man perform waking more then a sleep?
A47791what?
A47791when Stephen accused his Anabaptisme for novelty, and repugnant to the ancient Tradition, True, saith Cyprian, but whence is this Tradition?
A47791where reade you of a double Commission, one to plant the Church, the other to govern the Church already planted?
A47791whether they had said Masse?
A47791why should we not take Moses his meaning as we find his words?
A47791will you say, because the day is abrogated and annulled?
A47576''T is said, What Nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Judgments so righteous, as this Law which is set before you this Day?
A47576( as Mr. Sprint argues) Why on this Day?
A47576* And do not such as affirm otherwise, strangely Judaize?
A475761. where the incestuous Person is condemned for marrying his Father''s Wife?
A475762. put that in after the same manner, that ● s not indeed done till his time, when God gave 〈 ◊ 〉 the Commandment of the Sabbath?
A475769. upon the same foot of account, There remaineth 〈 ◊ 〉 Rest( i. e. a day of Rest) to the People of God?
A47576And can any rationally judg, that he did not then command them which day in seven he would have observed as a Day of Rest and solemn Worship?
A47576And can one simple moral Precept have more Sanctity in it than another?
A47576And doth not the holy God require our utmost care and diligence in his Work and Service?
A47576And hath God set a time to every thing, and for every Purpose and Work; and yet set no particular time for his Worship?
A47576And if those prove Saturday to be the Jewish Sabbath, why should not these as well prove Sunday to be the Lord''s- day?
A47576And ought not this duly to be considered?
A47576And shall a blur''d Copy be deem''d more perfect than that, or the muddy Stream be clearer than the Chrystal Fountain?
A47576And that this is the Day which the Lord hath made: How made?
A47576And therefore why should any other Lord''s Day be dreamed of?
A47576And what day have we cause to rejoice in, keep and observe like this day?
A47576And what means the coming of the Rulers of the Congregation to Moses to consult him as on an unusual and unknown matter?
A47576And what signifies their Objection, There is no express Command to observe this Day?
A47576And when the day of Pentecost was fully come; fully come, doth not that denote they waited for it?
A47576And where is he now, who said, none can prove one whole first Day was kept in religious Worship in all the New Testament?
A47576And why do the Annotators apply that to Sacrifices?
A47576And why if circumcised?
A47576And why may not they call the Lord''s Supper, and the Lord''s Table so, with respect to God the Creator, or Christ as Creator?
A47576And''t is known to have been the common Question put to the Christians by the Pagans, Dost thou observe the Lord''s- day?
A47576Are all these Hypocrites, unrenewed, unsanctified ones?
A47576Are not we guilty of absolute Immorality, i. e. the literal breach of one Precept of the first Table?
A47576As to the minor Proposition; can any suppose, that if the Gentiles had been under Moses''s Law, yet they should not be judged by it?
A47576Because God sanctified it, must Adam ● nctify it or keep it holy without a Com ● ● and?
A47576Because God sanctified 〈 ◊ 〉 Priest, may others do so too?
A47576Besides, doth Christ help us to fulfil the whole Law perfectly?
A47576Besides, how many faithful Witnesses of late years has the Lord raised up to bear Testimony against it?
A47576Besides, is it not great folly for any to say this, since the Law in Adam''s Heart was the original?
A47576But can any man think it is meant of any day?
A47576But do not all Divines say that the Moral Law is of perpetual Obligation?
A47576But do not most say, that the Decalogue written in Stone is the Moral Law, and of perpetual Obligation?
A47576But since the Jewish seventh Day was a Sign and a Shadow, what was it a Sign and Shadow of?
A47576But still it is enquired, what was it a Sign of?
A47576But was the Day of Judgment then come, or hath it yet been?
A47576But were they not as zealous for Circumcision also?
A47576But what are such things to a simple moral Precept, both materially and formally one of the Ten Commandments, as they affirm their Sabbath is?
A47576But what say some?
A47576But when any came to plead for it as a Moral Duty, or as necessary to Salvation, how sharp was he with them?
A47576But where do we read in the New Testament that it is unlawful for a Man to marry his own Sister?
A47576But where is there a Divine appointment of the first Day of the Week; and by whom was it required?
A47576But why must Paul break the Bread to them?
A47576Can any pretended necessity make it lawful to worship another God, or prophane his Name, or steal, murder, or commit Adultery?
A47576Can any think that Jehovah would punish any Person for neglecting or violating an Humane Tradition, or an Ordinance of Man?
A47576Can any think that the old Sabbath still remains, which was the sign of the old Covenant?
A47576Can they, or we have Communion with such as bow down to a graven Image, or profane the holy Name of God, or are guilty of Murder,& c.?
A47576Could he tell how long God was in making the Heavens and the Earth?
A47576Did God so sanctify them, or were they spiritually sanctified?
A47576Did God''s finishing his Work call for a day of remembrance, and doth not Christ''s finishing his Work call for the same?
A47576Do Men require the whole Day, and with the greatest care and diligence, to do their Work?
A47576Do not these men, like the Jews, go about to establish their own Righteousness?
A47576Doth God do thus under the New Covenant?
A47576Doth Perfection admit of any ● urther degree of Holiness, or require more ● anctity on that day than any other?
A47576Doth he not establish the Covenant of Works and Justification by the Law?
A47576Doth not the Dignity and Glory of the Lawgiver add to the Glory of the Law given?
A47576Fifthly, Take what a learned Man saith: If Adam was bound to keep the Sabbath, I demand by what Law?
A47576For doth the Light of Nature teach a Man that it is a shame to wear long Hair, and not teach him it is a shame to marry his own Sister?
A47576For has not Redemption- work the preference of Creation- work?
A47576For tho it is granted that a true Christian may be guilty in some sense of an Immoral Evil, and who is not?
A47576For who will say, that Ordinance upon an extraordinary occasion may not be administred on another day of the week?
A47576Has the Holy Ghost left this on record for no purpose?
A47576He answers this Question, Do not Divines say the Decalogue written in Stone is the Moral Law, and of perpetual Obligation?
A47576He hath given you the Sabbath; Doth not ● his imply he had not given it to any before?
A47576How can it be declared( or proved) that the Lord himself imposed this Name?
A47576How early are they at their Devotion on this day, as well as on other days of the Week?
A47576How far do the Papists for Zeal in their false Religion out- do many who would be thought the most refined Protestants?
A47576How far then are we bound to keep the Law?
A47576How made?
A47576How often doth God by Moses, and other of his Servants, declare that the Sabbath was given to Israel?
A47576How vain as well as sinful is it to go about to contradict God''s Word?
A47576How will it be made good that this Name imports a Sabbath?
A47576I know some others have cryed, Where is laying on of hands either upon Elders, or baptized Believers as such commanded?
A47576If any should say, How can they know it was unlawful for a Man to marry his own Sister?
A47576If it be thus, what think you of them that observe this Sabbath?
A47576If so, doth not what ● ey say argue some Imperfection attending 〈 ◊ 〉?
A47576If the old Sabbath was a sign of that of which you say, what was it a Type or Shadow of?
A47576Is a fulfilling the Law a destroying it?
A47576Is it not Sacrilege to rob God of his Day( for any external advantage) which he hath dedicated and set apart for his own Worship?
A47576Is it not because the one is a moral Law proceeding from God''s Nature, and the other but merely positive and Typical, and so arbitrary?
A47576Is it said therefore, Thou Adam shalt ● eep this Day as a Sabbath?
A47576Is it wisdom to advise with those only that are for it, and not with such also as are directly against it?
A47576Is not Christ a more glorious Person than Moses?
A47576Is not that a dangerous Error that leads Men to ratify or sign the Covenant of Works, which binds them to keep the whole Law?
A47576Is not that dangerous which caused Paul to fear he had bestowed on the Persons he speaks of, Labor in vain?
A47576Is not this as much as that at the beginning the Lord blessed and sanctified the seventh day?
A47576It is called the Feast of Pentecost, because it was ever kept the fiftieth day; the fiftieth, ● ow reckoned?
A47576Miracles also are call''d Signs; and God''s People are set as Signs and Wonders: but what of this?
A47576Moreover, perhaps some would be for no day at all; and what then would become of the publick and private Worship of God?
A47576Must we 〈 ◊ 〉 to Moses to know how Christ is to govern ● s Church, or take any Law from him?
A47576My Brethren, what comfort is here to you that enter into this Rest?
A47576Now God required the tenth of their Increase: but will any Man say, God intended any one precise tenth?
A47576Now can it be imagin''d they should not have fail''d in this case, or that God would overlook or take no notice of it?
A47576Now can the precise seventh day be Adam''s Duty to keep before it was sanctified to that end?
A47576Now if so, why need he be told he must keep the Seventh- day?
A47576Now if so, would it not follow that Adam was not perfect in Innocency?
A47576Now is not this our Lord Jesus Christ?
A47576Now were any of the Idolatrous Days among the Heathen, shadows of things to come, or of Christ?
A47576Now what is a Graven Image but an Idol?
A47576Now when a Covenant is abolished( as the old Covenant is) will any dare to plead for the sign of it, which obliges them to keep the whole Law?
A47576O how doth it magnify the Law, to see Godman thus conform to it, and die to bear the Penalty thereof for us?
A47576Of what nature are works of Mercy?
A47576Or could there be the same need of a Sabbath to both?
A47576Or, might not Paul( as some of us do) preach twice himself on that day, and they refresh themselves about the middle of the day?
A47576Others may say, Who made thee a Ruler over us, or a Legislator, or deputed Officer from God to us?
A47576Paul says, there is one God, and one Mediator: Doth not this imply that there is but one God, and but one Mediator?
A47576Persecution must not hinder us in our Obedience to God; what, disown God, or his Day of Worship, desert his holy Sabbath?
A47576Saith the other, Had you the Power of the Civil Magistracy in your hand, and should I break your Sabbath, what would you do with me?
A47576So he calls that Feast Pentecost, and Circumcision by its own Name; must we therefore keep Pentecost, and be circumcised?
A47576So what signifies the Shadow of Rest, to the true Antitypical Sabbath of Rest which we have in Christ?
A47576Some after that were zealous for Circumcision,& c. and is that an Argument that Circumcision is our Duty?
A47576Take away the Penalty of a Law, and what is become of that Law?
A47576Tell me ye that desire to be under the Law, do you hear the Law?
A47576The Jewish Rites were called the Elements of the World; for does not Paul say, We when Children were in bondage under the Elements of the World?
A47576The Shadow seems glorious till the Substance comes; but what Glory appears in it then?
A47576The Woman was made for Man also, but must every man have a Wife therefore?
A47576Therefore to answer that Question, what was the Jewish Sabbath a sign of?
A47576This is the plain Scripture- account; and who can but observe the Wisdom of God in ordering the matter thus?
A47576To which let me add, How can they have Communion with us, if they consider and observe the Consequences of their Principle?
A47576Upon this very account Paul shews that the Jews had the advantage of all other People; What advantage then hath the Jew?
A47576Was it not because they observ''d Jewish Days, laying stress on those things?
A47576Was not this first Day so kept, and established for us to observe and keep from morning to evening?
A47576Well what of this?
A47576Well, and what saith the Holy Ghost?
A47576Well, and what then?
A47576Were the Heathen Gentiles, or Believing Gentiles, under that ministration of the Legal Covenant given by Moses to Israel?
A47576Were you ever by this Law led to know( or reproved for not observing) the Seventh- day Sabbath?
A47576What Heathenish Nation kept the seventh, or the fiftieth Year as a Sabbath?
A47576What Popish Doctrin is worse?
A47576What had he to do, but to adore, and contemplate the Perfections of his bountiful Creator?
A47576What influence had John upon him in declaring this Name?
A47576What is God''s Law but a Transcript, or a gracious Impression of his holy Nature, or his Divine Image stampt on our Souls?
A47576What is more plainly expressed?
A47576What is now become of Mr. Tillam''s Flourish, who insults over such as call the Seventh- day Sabbath a sign?
A47576What is the Glory of the Moon when the Sun appears and shines forth splendidly?
A47576What think you of what Dr. White † relates in his Treatise of the Sabbath, concerning some Zealots in his time about sixty years ago?
A47576What tho it be said after eight days?
A47576What was the Error they were corrupted with?
A47576What will you say?
A47576What, a Sabbath instituted, and no Sabbath- Service appointed on that day?
A47576What, is Paul so thoughtful of eating and drinking, to refresh his Body with them, as to stay seven days for that?
A47576What, without the Lord''s Commission or Command?
A47576Where do they read that an Image made of Bread is forbid in Moses''s Law?
A47576Where is the general Day of the Gospel called a Day made?
A47576Wherefore have you not fulfilled your Task in making of Brick, both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
A47576Who I, said he, what kill my Brother?
A47576Who are you now that will introduce another Lawgiver, a Co- partner, or a Co- rival with Christ, to partake of part of his Honour?
A47576Why a more excellent Law?
A47576Why not on the Sabbath- day?
A47576Why preaching, why conversion, and administration of the Sacraments?
A47576Why should Mr. Brabourn imagin that this day might be some superstitious Easter- day, which happens once a year?
A47576Why so?
A47576Why the Holy Ghost?
A47576Why the Promise of Christ accomplished all on this Day?
A47576Why, not in the Winter?
A47576Would the Holy Ghost thus leave the Generation of the Godly under Sin, and such Ignorance( think you) were this a moral Duty?
A47576and could he have done it better on one day than another?
A47576as a moral D ● ty, or of necessity to a holy Life?
A47576but he also blessed and sanc ● ● fied it: what tho?
A47576by the Law written in his Heart?
A47576from the morrow after the ● abbath( that is, the first day of the week) ● ut what mark had they to know their morrow 〈 ◊ 〉?
A47576is it not abrogated?
A47576is it not also said that Christ after three days should rise again?
A47576it is a day of the Lord''s making; and will he[ that is Tillam] make nothing of that?
A47576nay, that do not only live in the literal breach of this moral Precept( as they call it) but teach men so to do?
A47576or if he forbear so to do, would he not be shamefully guilty of great Sin, and of their Blood also?
A47576or why must that Precept come under express Institution, and none of the rest?
A47576was he, or that Rest he hath brought in, the Antitype of them?
A47576what can a day( made long before in respect of Creation) be stiled the day which the Lord hath made then in respect to a Divine Institution?
A47576— Chrysostom says, What means Paul''s hastning to this Feast?
A47576— Why should any longer doubt in this matter?
A47576— Will you say the Apostles, or the Church might do it?
A64001& it is well if the Schoolemen make the word of God their principles; but of what Law?
A64001& where they came did they not all give the same order for the sacred assemblies?
A640011 Whether seeing the Lords day succeeds the Jewish Sabbath, wee are to keepe it in the same manner, and with the same strictnesse?
A640011. Who hath made us?
A6400110. saying, Now therefore, why tempt yee God to lay a yoke on the Disciples neckes which neither our Fathers nor we were able to beare?
A6400113 I Take notice of Tertull, Iustin Martyr:] true; but they alter not my judgement: And why?
A6400116 Where had Rhenanus that opinion?
A6400116. puts a Christian soule upon this meditation, Good Lord, what doe I upon the Sabbath day?
A640012. Who will infinitely reward us?
A640012. that the observation of the Sabbath was ceremoniall] As a shadow?
A6400120. and what should that bee but the Lords Day under the Gospell?
A6400120. what will you conclude herence?
A640013. doth only our freedome from the yoke of ceremonies requires this?
A64001Againe the day of Christs Paspassion upon the Crosse, is not called the Lords day; and why the day of the Resurrection rather?
A64001Againe, why should their opinion be Jewish, by maintaining it out of the old Testament; rather then out of the new?
A64001An est apostolicum factum aliquod, jure non apostolico?
A64001And Calvin concludes that Section thus, Why then doe we not obey that reason, which we see to be imposed upon us by the will of God?
A64001And are not our Temples the houses of God?
A64001And did they not inferre this there- hence also, as most agreeable to the Will of God?
A64001And have we not great cause to inure our selves betimes thus to sabbatize with God, as he sabbatizeth with us?
A64001And how are we in Christ, but by faith?
A64001And is it likely that Eve was about the service of God, when the Divell assaulted her?
A64001And is it not wonderous strange, that none of the Historians of those times should make any mention of him?
A64001And is it probable, that the Primitive Church prescribed it to the Apostles, and not rather the Apostles to the Church?
A64001And is not this wilde stuffe, in reference to the sanctification of the Lords day, now in question amongst us?
A64001And is the publike joy after such a manner exprest( to wit) by publique shame?
A64001And lastly Christ bringing with him a new Creation is it strange that he should bring with him a new Sabbath?
A64001And now according to the principles of these Sabbatarians, what would you counsaile them to doe?
A64001And shall we thinke that this could be done without an apostolicall prescript?
A64001And the next begins with this question, what then?
A64001And under what stile did they reject him, and condemne him as a blasphemer but for making himselfe the Son of God?
A64001And was not Walaeus one of the foure?
A64001And what day was called the Lords Day before, but the day of the Jewes Sabbath?
A64001And what is the object of this our faith?
A64001And what powers are these powers of death, hee rhetoricates of?
A64001And what should move them to illustrate the memory of Christs Resurrection weekly?
A64001And what should these people doe when they were returned?
A64001And what wise man would expect that any man should be satisfied herewith?
A64001And who is able to give us strength to performe it?
A64001And who saith hee, knowes not, what that place was where the Lord planted the Tree of life?
A64001And who was nearer or dearer unto Calvin then Beza?
A64001And who would not expect, that some one of these at least, should be produced to testifie so much either by word or writing?
A64001And why not?
A64001And why shall not the time come under the same condition?
A64001And why should wee thinke the Aegyptians more rigorous to the Israelites then the Babylonians were to the Iewes?
A64001And why the Lords day?
A64001And why?
A64001Anetius saith no more than that Christians changed the Sabbath unto the Lords Day; and can any man doubt, but that the Apostles were meant hereby?
A64001Are not these the Apostles as much as any other?
A64001Are these workes for the Sabbath?
A64001As for Abulensis, of what authority is he to preponderate any one of our Divines?
A64001As for the sanctity of the day in Calvins phrase, which this Author calls Sanctity affixed to the day; shall I say this Prefacer understands it not?
A64001As for the second reason proposed thus on our part; If all the rest of the Commandements flow from the principles of nature, how is this excluded?
A64001But doe we not all acknowledge the light of Nature to be much corrupted since the fall of Adam?
A64001But doth Abulensis accompt the rest of one day in seven ceremoniall, and not morall?
A64001But if God vouchsafeth us a new creation in the same congruity, may wee not justly expect a new Sabbath?
A64001But is not the Sabbath a ceremony, and so abrogated by Christ?
A64001But is not the Sabbath a ceremony, and so abrogated by Christ?
A64001But upon what ground?
A64001But what burthen is it( save unto the flesh) to rejoyce in the Lord, to sabbatize with him, to walke with him in holy meditation?
A64001But what is his ground to deny the parity of reason here?
A64001But what is that benefit of the common people, whereof this Translator is so zealous?
A64001But what thing?
A64001But what?
A64001But when the question is made what Sabbath?
A64001But where corrected?
A64001But whether is the observation of the Lords Day morall?
A64001But who and how many are those all?
A64001But you thinke the Apostles did not prescribe the observation of that day; No?
A64001Can I answer this to my God, that gives mee six dayes for my selfe, and takes but one to himselfe, of which I rob him also?
A64001Can I answer this to my God?
A64001Can he shew this to be their opinion?
A64001Cur porrò illum diem plerique Sectariorum Sabbatum appellatis?
A64001Did he sanctifie it for his owne use?
A64001Did the Author report of gratifying the people thus, and quench his care of providing for their benefit?
A64001Doth it not concerne them who maintaine this affirmative to make it good by Texts of Scripture?
A64001Doth it therefore follow that wee may not keepe the seventh day in memory of the worlds Creation?
A64001First whether the Sabbath were ordained by God immediately upon the Creation of the World?
A64001Fistly, And it is cleare( saith Doctor Willet) by the Serpents first on set, hath God sayd ye shall not eate of every Tree?
A64001For if the labours of our calling are forbidden in the holy day, how much more such recreations?
A64001For what?
A64001For what?
A64001For why not as well some dayes more or some dayes lesse?
A64001For why not as well to that day three weekes after, or that day a month after, and so in Infinitum?
A64001Hast thou kept the Lords Day?
A64001Hast thou kept the Sabbath?
A64001Hath the Lord a Day under the Gospell, but no Sabbath, no holy Day?
A64001He shewes also, it was an usuall question put to Christians, Dominicum servasti?
A64001Hee delights rather in carnall pleasures; and is it fit to humour him in such courses, and that on the Lords day?
A64001How came Aristotle then the greatest Philosopher that ever was, and his whole schoole, how I say came they to be ignorant of it?
A64001How far off is he from acknowledging it to have beene instituted by the Lord?
A64001How shall it appeare to be the Law of nature to sanctifie one day every weeke?
A64001How shall the fourth Commandement bind us considering the forme of words to keep any day but only the seventh?]
A64001How then came it to passe, that they all so throughly, and at the first, agreed herein?
A64001I wonder the Prefacer omits Cuohlinus, was it because that which others call consuetudinem Ecclesiae, hee calls consuetudinem Apostolicam?
A64001If he can, why doth he not?
A64001If this be( as I conceave it is) the meaning of the place; what is this to dayes?
A64001In our solemne assemblies is not aladder erected betweene earth and heaven?
A64001Indeed the use of the very name of Sabbath is now a dayes carped at; and why?
A64001Is it evident by the light of nature that God is not to be worshipped by an Image?
A64001Is it from any evidence of Scripture?
A64001Is it judiciall, or ceremoniall?
A64001Is it not Scripture that calls it the Lords Day?
A64001Is it not against the Jewes, that Austin professeth?
A64001Is it not apparent that Christs rising did ever after give the denomination of the Lords Day, to the first day of the weeke?
A64001Is it not high time Christ should come to set an end to it?
A64001Is not all other rejoycing in comparison to our rejoycing in him a rejoycing in a a thing of nought?
A64001Is not the law of sanctifying the Sabbath one of the tenne Commandements delivered by God from Mount Sinai as well as the other nine?
A64001Is there any fact of the Apostles, by right not apostolicall?
A64001Is this to keepe the holy day?
A64001Is this to keepe the holy day?
A64001Lastly, when he saith, pray that your flight be not in the winter nor on the Sabbath day, what is the reason hereof, but religio Sabbati?
A64001Man, of the doctrine of the Sabbath, which appeares to be D. Bowndes; Now, was this ever called in?
A64001May I not adde a third?
A64001Nay, upon this very consideration have we not the more cause to strive against this intestine corruption of ours?
A64001No can?
A64001Now have we not as much cause to performe this duty under the Gospell as ever the Jewes had under the Law?
A64001Now if the more noble workes are forbidden on that day, how much more such as are inferior are forbidden?
A64001Now what one of our Divines can be alleaged to derive the authority of the Lords day from the law of Moses?
A64001Now what sober Christian would affect liberty to bee scandalous?
A64001Now what worke, like unto the resurrection of Christ, on the first day of the weeke?
A64001Now, what doth Doctor Bownde affirme forty yeeres agoe, which Doctor Andrewes did not in his patterne of Catecheticall doctrine?
A64001Or can it bee conceaved to bee a greater burthen unto us to keepe our Christian Sabbath on the Lords Day, then on any other day of the weeke?
A64001Or if naturall evidence hereof faile us in this state of corrupt nature wherein we are, shall these lawes be denied to be the morall Law of God?
A64001Or is it the rest of the day?
A64001Or that the Prophet Moses would have used such care in ordering the Decalogue, onely to bring the Church into greater troubles?
A64001Other Divines of these dayes, had rather call it positive; but how?
A64001Philo in his second book of Moses writing thus, Quis sacrum illum diem, per singulas hebdomadas recurrentem non honorat?
A64001Secondly, if it be not morall, what shall it be?
A64001Shall this be of force for the institution of Bishops, and shall it not be of force for the institution of the Lords Day, as by Divine right?
A64001Shall we affirme that the Lords Day is founded in Divine authority?
A64001That were absurd to thinke the Word sanctifying doth refute it; for whom then?
A64001The first is drawn from the forme of Adams temptation, thus, why doe you not eate of every tree of paradise?
A64001The next reason here mentioned followeth; Can we conceive that this onely ceremoniall law crept in, we know not how, amongst the morall?
A64001Then againe which of us comes nearest to Judaisme herein?
A64001Then he demands whether the Apostles did not keepe the Jewish Sabbath?
A64001Then he demands, whether the Primitive Church did not designe as well the Sabbath as the Lords Day to sacred meetings?
A64001Then he makes mention of another relation; Aliud quoque ad me perlatum est; Another report was brought unto mee; and what was that?
A64001Then whether all Christians are obliged by the fourth Commandement, alwayes to set a part one day in seven to Gods holy worship?
A64001Then, who are they that maintaine it onely by the old Testament?
A64001Thirdly, what danger is there in affirming, that the Lords Day is of Divine institution?
A64001To the first of these here the Doctor answereth thus, To which we say with the Apostle: Doe we destroy the Law by faith?
A64001To this Doctor Rivetus alledgeth the answer of Doctor Prideaux, demanding how that we contend for his inferred herehence?
A64001Was hee ever questioned for this?
A64001We read that there is one, that is Lord of the Sabbath; Now in reason, who shall appoint this day, but he that is Lord of it?
A64001What danger either to Prince, Church, or State?
A64001What is that which they say is not ceremoniall?
A64001What is the cause( saith he) that many of our Sectaries call this day the Sabbath?
A64001What more reasonable disposition humane, then that which is conformable to constitution Divine?
A64001What not so much as wash their hands or their face?
A64001What times himselfe tooke for to work in or rest after the Creation, the same did hee assigne to men, and made his patterne a perpetuall Law?
A64001When will the Sabbath be gone, that they might returne to their worldly courses?
A64001When you aske, Did not the Apostles keepe the Iewish Sabbath?
A64001Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
A64001Who doth not honour that holy day ▪ according to the weekely revolution thereof?
A64001Who seeth not that this is delivered onely to serve turne, and helpe at a dead lift, when no other way is open to shift off the Argument?
A64001Who would desire an adversary should betray more weakenesse than this Author?
A64001Why then should it be thought superfluous to ordaine some dayes for the works of this World, and one day for the service of God?
A64001Yet to draw nearer to the morality of it; what?
A64001Yet what are these to be talkt of in comparison to those which are comprised in two bookes of miracles, written by Cluniacensis?
A64001Yet what just occasion hereby may bee in all places and like enough is taken in most places by this doctrine of his who seeth not?
A64001Yet what saith Austin against these heretickes, to whom this Author in the first place referreth us?
A64001and is this knowne by the light of nature?
A64001and was it not kept in the Arke as well as the rest?
A64001are they not the very gates of heaven?
A64001as all confesse the religious observation of the Sabbath; and did they understand any other religion of the Sabbath but as from Divine institution?
A64001but never was there( for ought I read) a question whether the Jewes should keepe the Lords day?
A64001but running thus; Yea?
A64001declare, if thou hast understanding, who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
A64001did Calvin any where teach this?
A64001did they observe the Sabbath?
A64001hath God sayd yee shall not eate of every tree in the Garden?
A64001hath not Christ deserved at the hands of servants to be as serviceable to their masters as ever?
A64001if you doe, who shall more deservedly be obnoxious to the censure of Judaisme, you or wee?
A64001is it the service of the day in the sanctifying of it?
A64001is not our nature now corrupt?
A64001is not the Lord on the top of it, and are not we humbled at his feet to heare his Word?
A64001may not masters exact as many dayes worke of their servants under the Gospell as under the Law?
A64001nay what thinke wee of Leo and Anthemius Emperours; were not they zelotes too in that decree of theirs( alleaged by the former Baldwin)?
A64001not Papists I presume, but Protestants rather; and what true Protestant can he name that thinkes otherwise?
A64001not till a thousand yeares after, had they done so, who would not have said, that their wisdome herein had exceeded all humane discretion?
A64001of the morall law, or of the tenne commandements; or any one of them?
A64001shall nothing bee morall that is not knowne to bee so, by light of nature, for what I pray?
A64001shall the masters keepe one, and the servants another?
A64001shall the morality of rest granted to servants, be altered also under the Gospell?
A64001shall we affirme that the Lords day is founded on divine authority?
A64001shall we beurged to yield to the authority of Calvin, who are reproched usually as Calvinists and so nicknamed?
A64001should not wee rather complaine of these corruptions, and bewaile it before God, then give our selves to such courses as are apt to strengthen it?
A64001that gives mee six dayes for my selfe, and takes but one to himselfe, of which I rob him also?
A64001that hee should have an holy Day, one in every weeke under the Law; and none under the Gospell?
A64001therefore the observation of the Jewish Sabbath was still to continue among Christians?
A64001was shee not too neare the forbidden Fruit?
A64001what an unreasonable conceite were this?
A64001what author ancient is there that doth not hold it to have had his originall from the Apostles?
A64001what conscience can be found so cauteriate as to justifie this?
A64001what one of the ancients can hee produce to have thought as hee thinks?
A64001yet what if all this were granted?
A64001you confesse they made choice of it, and were moved so to doe by the reason which I alleage, And were they not scattered over all the world?
A59693& shal we think that that one thing was rather a point of order proper to Adam, then a part of Gods image common to all?
A59693''T is true God justifies the ungodly, but how?
A5969312.10, 11. what doctrin more crosse to the expresse comand of Christ from heaven then this?
A5969314 13. for who sees not but that the speech is metaphoricall in both?
A5969316.27, 28. and may we lawfully and charitably think that Abram neglected other morall duties because they are not exp ● esly mentioned?
A5969320. for might not God sanctifie it in Paradise, as soon as Gods rest, the cause and foundation of sanctifying of it, was existing?
A5969320. the reason of it is plainly set down to be Gods resting on the seveth day, and sanctifying of it long before?
A5969321. and then why may they not make the Angels in heaven Typicall, because men on earth who pour out the Vials are resembled to them?
A596933 21, 12, ● 3, 24) if they are all guiltlesse untill unbelief comes in?
A596937.9.10, 11. what doctrine more crosse to the salvation of souls, the mercy of God, and forgivenesse of sin?
A59693And are the principles good in themselves, and suitable to humane nature, and doe not all the conclusions participate of their nature?
A59693And if the very making of it known be such a sweet mercy, what then is the rest and peace of it, the blessing and comfort of it?
A59693And is it evill thus to want it, and shall it not be good to have it?
A59693And must not Jesus Christ use the means for the end?
A59693And shall a shady imagination of an Every- day- sabbath, make us sell away for nothing such a heavenly and precious season, and make it common?
A59693And therefore can there be a greater sinne above ground committed out of Hell then thus to sinne against this love?
A59693And what other reason can be given of Limiting this Collection to this Day?
A59693Are the streams morally sweet, and is not the spring it self of the same nature?
A59693Are these( I say) the new and glorious light breaking out in these dayes, which this age must wait for?
A59693As on the contrary the morals abiding, why should not their judicials and fences remaine?
A59693Bee it so: But will it therefore follow, that to worship God according to his own Institutions ▪ is not to worship him in Spirit and in Truth?
A59693But beside what hath been said, how will it appeare that the posterity of Seth called the sons of God, Gen. 6.1, 2. were not a numerous people?
A59693But if the question be, What is the rule of life it self?
A59693But suppose it was in the open Fields, and that they had no Synagogue: yet will it follow that these were not Iewes?
A59693But suppose they were few, yet have not small companies, and particular persons as much need of the blessing of a Sabbath?
A59693But was ever any punctum temporis( which is thought to be no part of time) called by the name of Night as this darkenesse is?
A59693But what fitnesse was there on this Day for such a service?
A59693But what is this kinde of arguing, but to teach the holy Ghost, what and when and how to speak?
A59693But what love is this?
A59693But why may he not as well say that he calls it the Lords Table in respect of the Churches Custome also?
A59693But why should they think that publick worship is more required here than private?
A59693By what Rule did Nehemiah not onely forbid the breach of the Sabbath, but did also threaten bodily punishment upon the men of Tyre?
A59693C?
A59693Could any do this justly but by immediate dispensation from the Lord Christ Jesus?
A59693Could no Nation( saith he) besides the Iewes observe these six things?
A59693Did not the law in their hearts make them thus cleave to the written law without?
A59693Dost not pray continually?
A59693For if a day be morall, what day must it be?
A59693For if it be in the Churches power to appoint the greatest Holy day; why may not any other Rite and Ceremony be imposed also?
A59693For if the Christian Churches were bound to observe the Iewish Sabbath, why did they not meet then and honour the seventh Day above the first day?
A59693For is not this preaching of the Gospel the instrument and means of working that faith in us, which the Lord requires of us in the Gospel?
A59693For was there not as much need to procure Authority to this as well as to ceremonials?
A59693For what are all particular precepts, but particular unfoldings of love to God, and love to man?
A59693For what force of a law can there be in that which only declares unto us who it is that redeemed them out of Egypts bondage?
A59693For( saith he) can not we in England as well as they at Jerusalem remember that Sabbath?
A59693For, what power had they to call them together when they saw meet?
A59693He saith that it is a bold assertion to say that this genus of a seventh is herein commanded: But why is it not as bold to affirm the same of a day?
A59693How and in what respect it should be so?
A59693How are we not now under the morall law?
A59693How comes the wrath of God to be revealed from heaven, not only against unbelief, but against all unrighteousnesse and ungodlinesse of man?
A59693How then are we not now under it as they were?
A59693I wonder how it can then convince them of pardon of sin and reconciliation, before they do beleeve?
A59693If Evening, Morning, light and night, made up every day the Creation, why shall we think but that the Sabbath day also consisted of the same parts?
A59693If God give us six naturall daies to labour in, is it not fit that the seventh day should beare an equall proportion with every working day?
A59693If it be demanded therefore, What is that goodnesse in a morall law for which it is therefore commanded?
A59693If it was a known Day, what Day can it be either by evidence of Scripture or any Antiquity but the first Day of the week?
A59693If mans life must bee divided into labour and rest, is it not equall and good if wee have six dayes, that God should have a seventh?
A59693If more narrow enquiry be made, what the Law of nature is?
A59693If the Lord vary his rest, may not be vary the time and day of it,?
A59693If the question be whether the Sabbath be known by the light of pure nature?
A59693If the question be, what Type is affixed and annexed to the Sabbath?
A59693If therefore a condemned sinner be asked whether God may love him, and why he thinks so?
A59693If this law be not morall, why is it crowned with the same honour, that the rest of the morall precepts are?
A59693If we therfore as well as they, are thus under the law as a rule of life, how are wee not under it as they were?
A59693Is it because they were under it as a preparative means for Christ, and not wee?
A59693Is it in this, that they were under it as a rule of life to walk by, and so are not we?
A59693Is it no mercy in these dayes to injoy many Sabbaths, which was so sore a misery in Christs account, and in the Apostles dayes to lose but one?
A59693Is it rather a carnall than a spirituall worship, to attend on God in Word and Sacraments?
A59693Is not Gods Immensity and Majesty acknowledged and seen in the use of his owne Ordinances, as well as creatures and providences?
A59693Is not private preparation, meditation, secret prayer and converse with God, required upon this day, as well as publick praying and hearing the Word?
A59693Is not this a meer weaknesse and falsehood which is now made the mystery of this first evidence?
A59693Is the morall law therefore abolished as a rule of life now?
A59693May not Papists blot out the second also, as some of Cassanders followers have done all but two; and as the Antinomians at this day do all?
A59693May we not lift up pure hands in the use of Gods own institutions?
A59693No such matter; For should there have been no marriage, no dressing of the garden, no day nor night,& c. in Paradise?
A59693Now if this 〈 ◊ 〉 was no part of the Sabbath, how could they then be said to sanctifie the Sabbath thereby?
A59693Or that Abrahams family was so small?
A59693Or why is it not rather said that he began his rest on that day, but that it is limited to a day?
A59693Otherwise how will M. Primrose maintain the morality of a day of worship out of this commandment?
A59693Shall man have six, and all of them morally good, and God have but foure, and some one or more of them not so?
A59693So that if the question be, What is the rule of faith by which we live?
A59693Take away a Sabbath, who can defend us from Atheisme, Barbarisme, and all manner of Devilisme and prophanesse?
A59693That the whole law is not the rule of life?
A59693The promise is of faith that it might be by grace: If Mr W.C. will not preach Christ upon beleeving, how will he or any man else preach it?
A59693This is truth before they reject the Gospel, is it not?
A59693This the law saith( say some) true, But is not this confirmed by the Ministry of the Gospel also?
A59693Time consists of yeers, and yeers of moneths, and moneths of weeks, and weeks of dayes; to what day or what week then must this night belong?
A59693Verily if it be the Day of the Lord our God( the Lords Day) why is it not the Sabbath of the Lord our God?
A59693Was it in crossing and thwarting Gods working will or the will of Gods Decree?
A59693Was not Sacrifice and Offerings good, as well as mercy and walking humbly?
A59693Were not many filled with the holy Ghost when they heard this Gospel thus preached upon condition of beleeving?
A59693Were not those three thousand brought into Christ by faith, by Peters promise of remission of sins upon their repentance?
A59693Were the other nine spoken immediatly by the voice of God on mount Sinai with great terrour and majesty before all the people?
A59693Were they put into the Arke as most holy and sacred?
A59693Were they written upon Tables of stone with Gods owne finger twice?
A59693What evill thing is this that ye do, and prophane the Sabbath day?
A59693What is there therefore in morall lawes which is not in those lawes?
A59693What is this Gospel Ministry but to tell men they are whole, and not sick to death, but healed before they come to the Physitian, the Lord Iesus?
A59693What mortall man can limit the Spirit of God, to what evidence he shall first bring in to the conscience of a justified estate?
A59693What then could this Day be but the Christian Sabbath imposed by the Apostles; and magnified and honoured by all the Churches in those dayes?
A59693What will ye do in the solemne day, in the day of the feast of the Lord?
A59693Where is it expressely said that the old Sabbath is abrogated?
A59693Whether a Beleever be bound to the law as his rule?
A59693Who teacheth men thus to allegorize?
A59693Why did Paul perswade Children to honour their parents?
A59693Why then should we pray together now?
A59693Will they say that the Sabbath is not to bee sanctified by private and inward worship, as well as by publick and externall worship?
A59693Will they tell all men that God loves them, and that Christ hath died for them,& that he that gives grace and salvation will work faith in them?
A59693Would we know whether it was sanctified for that end?
A59693Would we know whether this time was spent in holy Duties and Sabbath services?
A59693Would we know whether''t is the Christian Sabbath Day?
A59693and being askt, if that should be so when should his son raigne?
A59693and have they not a good ground laid for it, who may hence safely say that the Decalogue is not a rule of life for all?
A59693and how long he was risen before, who can determine?
A59693and if it did not lie only in that Seventh, wherein then did it more generally lie?
A59693and if so, why then should any ask pardon of it, or mourn under it?
A59693and is not the Sabbath one of those Commandments, the breach of which is accounted the breaking of all?
A59693and is this the end and fruit of Christs death too?
A59693and must the new light of these times be the dreames and visions and slaverings of doting and deluded old Monks?
A59693and no part of his rest, unlesse it was in respect of cessation therein from actions of naturall life?
A59693and shall the Ministers( not of the letter but of the Spirit) refuse to begin here?
A59693and so introduce Will- Worship, and to serve God after the tradition of men which God abhors?
A59693and speciall communion with God therein, as great numbers and troops of people?
A59693and that it is a part of Christian weaknes to observe any day under the Gospel?
A59693and that where sin abounds, grace abounds; to whom?
A59693and therefore why should any other Lords Day be dreamed of?
A59693and was not this done for our imitation?
A59693and what is his will, but the will of his commandment?
A59693and what one Scripture is there in the N. Testament declaring expressely that the Lords day is substituted and put in its roome?
A59693and which God hath appointed( without limitation to any hour) to be the bounds of the Sabbath as it sooner or later rises or sets?
A59693and why may not men riding upon white Horses be typicall, because Christ is so resembled?
A59693and will you now weary the Lord againe, that he can not have rest or quiet for you one day in a Weeke?
A59693because there is no marriage nor dressing of gardens, nor weeks, nor reckonings of day and night in heaven?
A59693because they are sinners and because they see themselves sinners?
A59693but doth it hence follow that the Sabbath was to end at midnight?
A59693but how?
A59693but what doctrine is more cross ● to the Spirit of grace in Gospel times, then this?
A59693but where will they finde the like for the word blessed also?
A59693but whether they belong to sinners immediately as sinners?
A59693but will it follow hence that this Morning is the time of midnight?
A59693can any say that the story is apparently false, unlesse we imagine a Prolepsis?
A59693did God limit them to the rising or setting sun of Iudaea only?
A59693did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this City?
A59693do you thus make the daies of your rest and joy, the daies of the Lords sorrow and trouble?
A59693do you thus weary the Lord when he gives rest unto you?
A59693doth he call upon you to spend this day in holinesse, and will you spend it in Mirth, and Sports and Pastimes and in all manner of licentiousnesse?
A59693doth he call you now to Rest in his Bosome, and will you now kick his Bowels, despise this Love, and spit in his Face?
A59693for if it be no rule to him, how should any thing be sin to him?
A59693hast thou kept the Lords Day?
A59693he will lead( it s said) unto all truth, Iohn 16.13 But what truth will he guide us into?
A59693how easily a thing is it thus to abuse all the Scripture?
A59693if its dignity be not equall with the rest ▪ Why hath it been exalted so high in equall glory with them?
A59693immediatly?
A59693is it not expresly said that he set the Levites to keep the Gates to sanctifie the Sabbath day?
A59693is it not expresly said, that he set his servants at these Gates that there might be no burden brought in upon the Sabbath day?
A59693is there no inherent grace in a beleever that no inherent sanctification can be a true evidence?
A59693may not man begin the day at such a season as may not be beautifull?
A59693might it not be after midnight as well?
A59693might not the Iewes be in a Gentile City for a time without any Synagogue?
A59693nay must not the time and day of our rest be varied, because the ground of Gods rest in a new work is changed?
A59693not whether they are merited by Christs death, and offered out of his rich grace immediately to sinners?
A59693or if there be any inherent grace, yet it is( say some) so mixt with corruption, and is such a spotted and blurd evidence, that no man can discern it?
A59693or if they had, yet was it meet for them thus to do, before they were sufficiently instructed about Gods mind for setting apart some other time?
A59693or was it meet for him so to do?
A59693out of which he could gather three hundred fighting men to pursue five mighty Princes in battell?
A59693shall he therefore reject it as a doubtfull evidence; which is ever clear enough in it self, though not alway to our discerning?
A59693so was this of the Sabbath also: Why hath it the same honour, if it be not of the same nature with the rest?
A59693that God loves him, and that Christ hath died for him while he is a sinner, and as he is a sinner?
A59693that they being taught of the Spirit, did not need that any man should teach them; what then?
A59693then why should hee grant any day at all to bee entirely morall in respect of a sufficient and convenient time to bee set apart for God?
A59693there being no example which God sets before us, but it supposeth a rule binding us immediatly therunto?
A59693was it in a day more largely or in a Seventh day more narrowly?
A59693was it not by cleaving to the written word?
A59693was it not left the Sabbath should be prophaned that night, by bringing in of wares and burdens thorow the Gates, as well as in the ensuing day?
A59693was it not this, because it was written of them that so they should doe?
A59693was it not, because this was the first Commandment with promise?
A59693was put to death; what for gathering of sticks onely?
A59693was their teaching therefore immediate?
A59693were not the mariners of the men of Iudah bound to observe the Seventh day in all the severall coasts where they made their voyages?
A59693what colour is there to think thus of them?
A59693what could stop them herein, but onely the conscience of the Commandment, which began the Sabbath that evening?
A59693what doctrine more crosse to the example of holy men then this?
A59693what shall we thinke the Lord expects upon this day which is morall?
A59693where is my honour?
A59693whether they that plead for a Seventh of Gods appointing, or they that plead for a day( but God knowes when) of humane institution?
A59693who shall then seperate us from Gods love?
A59693why did David and Christ Iesus delight to doe Gods will?
A59693why may it not then in other respects put on the name of a seventh day also?
A59693why may not sanctification then( whereby we are set free from the power of sin) be a sure and certain evidence of our actuall justification?
A59693why may not the Spirit of God who works it in a person justified, first reveal it as an evidence that he is justified?
A59693why should Master Brabourne imagine that this day might be some superstitious Easter Day, which happens once a yeer?
A59693why should we think that the Lord is lesse carefull about the beginning of his Sabbath?
A59693why then should sanctification be excluded as a doubtfull evidence, because sometime it is, and at other times not discerned?
A59693will he say because all dayes are equally holy, and good by creation?
A59693with meet preparation for them, delight in them, with wonderment and thankfulnesse to God after the enjoyment of them?
A59693yet had he power to do thus in all places where he came?
A59693● o all sinners?
