| A16724 | For I aske, whether by that Revelation, God commanded the Apostles to ordaine such a Precept in the Church touching that day? |
| A16724 | For I demand whether the commandement was giuen them to the end to be published to the church or no? |
| A16724 | I answere first, the Commandement is giuen touching servants and cattle; Take heed to your soules; what? |
| A16724 | Or whether by it hee commanded the Church, but revealed it to the Apostles, that they should publish it as his commandement to the church? |
| A16724 | or had they rather vndergoe cōtinuall toyle and paine to breake Gods commandements, then take their ease to keepe it and please God? |
| A16724 | the soules of your persons? |
| A43869 | Haeccine solennes dies decent quae alios non decent? |
| A43869 | Is not this an unhallowing of his Name? |

| A43869 | Shall wicked licentiousnesse be accounted Piety? |
| A43869 | and occasions of luxury, Religion? |
| A17298 | And if this were a principall cause of those great plagues then, why not of this which now we suffer? |
| A17298 | But even that very thing which we doe? |
| A17298 | But what hath God done? |
| A17298 | Quis dubitat Sceleratiùs esse commissum, quod graviùs est punitum? |
| A17298 | why we are slaine in our very houses? |
| A69228 | And which of all these is not required in the word of God? |
| A69228 | But is it not reason that God should have one whole day in seven, given unto him now, as well as heretofore? |
| A69228 | Doe we then( saith he) make voide the Law through faith? |
| A69228 | First, how it will appeare that Christians have this liberty? |
| A69228 | For what day did God sanctifie there? |
| A69228 | For, what doth Saint Paul say there? |
| A69228 | How could it bee Morall and perpetuall, and yet determine with the Iewish Church? |
| A69228 | How wee shall know that onely this liberty is allowed Christians? |
| A69228 | Is it a small offence to despise the Church of God? |
| A69228 | Now, what word in all the Decalogue gives witnesse to Christ, or perswades the faith, which is required in him? |
| A69228 | That hee would have Christians meete every first day of the weeke, to serve God? |
| A69228 | Whether, and what liberty Christians now have on the Sunday more then they had, and how farre that liberty is to be extended? |
| A69228 | Why so? |
| A10094 | ( as the invited Guests in the holy Gospel) would they not easily set at naught an humane Ordinance? |
| A10094 | 2. where wee seeme to have a Commandement: Let every man( sayth the Apostle) upon the first day of the Weeke lay by him in store: What? |
| A10094 | And gladly teach the people, congregated on the Sabbath dayes? |
| A10094 | And now what should these people doe when they were return''d? |
| A10094 | And now, according to the Principles of these Sabbatarians, what would you counsaile them to doe? |
| A10094 | And what did they? |
| A10094 | By what authoritie have they substituted the first day of the Weeke, for the seventh day exactly from the Worlds Creation? |
| A10094 | Can wee conceive, that this onely Ceremoniall Law crept in, wee know not how, amongst the Morals? |
| A10094 | Collections for the Saints: And why? |
| A10094 | Did they not keepe the Iewish Sabbath, without noyse, or scruple? |
| A10094 | Did they observe the Sabbath? |
| A10094 | For if they ground themselves upon that Commandement; Why keepe they not that day precisely, which the Text commandeth? |
| A10094 | For to what purpose should I fall upon the Anabaptist, the Familist, and Swencfeldian? |
| A10094 | For where is any expresse institution of the Lords day, in any one of the Apostles, or Evangelists? |
| A10094 | For who( almost) would not thus reason with himselfe? |
| A10094 | Heere then wee have an Ordinance set downe by the Apostle, to bee observed in the Church: But what is that hee ordereth? |
| A10094 | How reckoned? |
| A10094 | I was( sayth the Evangelist) in the Spirit on the Lords day: And what day is that? |
| A10094 | If all the rest of the Commandements flow from the Principles of Nature, how is this excluded? |
| A10094 | Nay, more than this: Did not the Primitive Church designe as well the Sabbath, as the Lords day, unto sacred Meetings? |
| A10094 | Shall wee affirme, That the Lords day is founded on Divine authoritie? |
| A10094 | Tell mee( say they) who can, Wherefore, before the publication of the Law of Moses, there fell no Mannah on the seventh day? |
| A10094 | They were sure of punishment from man: Did they neglect it? |
| A10094 | To which, wee say with the Apostle: Doe wee destroy the Law by Faith? |
| A10094 | What Sabbath? |
| A10094 | What then advise wee to bee done? |
| A10094 | What then? |
| A10094 | What therefore rests? |
| A10094 | Whence well this question may be raysed, Whether before the publishing of Moses Law, the Sabbath was to be observed by the Law of Nature? |
| A10094 | Where any mention, that the Lords day was instituted in the place thereof? |
| A10094 | Who markes not heere a great and notable incoherence? |
| A91155 | And why should not the Lords- day be squared by the first day on which our Saviour arose? |
| A91155 | But how did these dayes begin and end, in Gods account? |
| A91155 | But how is this Consequent made good? |
| A91155 | But was not his creating of us, in holynesse and righteousnesse after his own image and likenesse, as transcendent an act of love as this? |
| A91155 | Cur hanc ● b causam& nobis Deus praecepit, A VESPERA SABBATI ORDIRI DOMINICUM? |
| A91155 | For when can a day of rest so aptly commence, as when men begin their rest? |
| A91155 | How these dayes are and ought to be computed? |
| A91155 | How they come to know, that such a Change was de Facto made, when no Scripture rev ● als or intimates it? |
| A91155 | Is it not celebrated principally in remembrance of his Resurrection on that day? |
| A91155 | Is not the Lords- day the first day, and the first day the Lords- day? |
| A91155 | It is a Querie, not yet resolved amongst Divines, when and by whom the observation of the Lords- day for a Sabbath, was instituted? |
| A91155 | Sixthly, I would demand of the Objectors, when this Assemb ● y at Troas began? |
| A91155 | The 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? |
| A91155 | The question then will be, when, and at what time of the day, this praying standing, began and ended? |
| A91155 | The sole doubt will be what evening this was? |
| A91155 | What can be more direct or ● ositive than this? |
| A91155 | What can be more full and punctuall than this? |
| A91155 | Where they did ● ver read, that occasions happening upon any dayes, did alter or bound on ● the beginning and end of dayes? |
| A91155 | Wherefore I shall here demand of the Objectors, how it appears that Christs Resurrection made such a change as they pretend? |
| A91155 | Whether at Evening, Morning, or Midnight? |
| A91155 | Which being so, if it should begin and end at Midnight, what Christians usually do, or can conveniently begin& end it thus? |
| A91155 | Yea but they confirm it too as well as say it: How I pray? |
| A91155 | and from what time they did begin? |
| A91155 | and how sweetly, how comfortably may they embrace the inception, and take their farewel of the conclusion of it? |
| A91155 | and what Evening it is, Saint John here speaks of? |
| A91155 | day? |
| A91155 | demanding this Question; How long ought the Holy day to be kept and hallowed? |
| A91155 | the dayes ever bounding out the occasions( which we say happened upon such a day and houre) not the occasions the dayes? |
| A91155 | their resting on it from other labors, being one part of the solemn zation of it? |
| A91155 | whether that which we call Sunday night( as many erroneously mistake) or Saturday night? |
| A91155 | would 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? |
| A67379 | 10. concerning the Feast of Pentecost? |
| A67379 | And Tradition is what he takes great pleasure to exclaim against; If that be admitted( saith he) where shall we stop? |
| A67379 | And When must he rectify that account? |
| A67379 | And how do we know but that these three days were three Sabbath days? |
| A67379 | And is not this a goodly proof? |
| A67379 | And that of what Pharaoh said to Moses and Aaron, Why do you Hinder their work, you make the people Rest from their burthens? |
| A67379 | And then, why should not our Sabbath be on Saturday as theirs was? |
| A67379 | And why may we not as well conclude that the day of his Resurrection was also a Sabbath? |
| A67379 | And why not? |
| A67379 | And why not? |
| A67379 | But 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? |
| A67379 | But can any man think it is meant of any day? |
| A67379 | But doth he think it to be meant of any of these? |
| A67379 | But how doth this concern his Coming to Iudgment? |
| A67379 | But suppose we do allow that one Sabbath is to be called Sabbatum what are we to call two or more Sabbaths? |
| A67379 | But then as to that, Why the First day rather than another? |
| A67379 | But what is all this to Sunday? |
| A67379 | But what then? |
| A67379 | But when it is, to go three days into the Wilderness to keep a Feast to the Lord; what is this to a Weekly Sabbath? |
| A67379 | But why not as angry with the Monday? |
| A67379 | But why not? |
| A67379 | But why upon Saturday if on that day( as he would have us think) they worshiped Saturn? |
| A67379 | But why upon a Saturday rather than a Sunday? |
| A67379 | But will he say so as to the Resurrection? |
| A67379 | Doth he think that this Fourteenth day at even was the end of the Thirteenth day, the Fourteenth day then beginning? |
| A67379 | Doth 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? |
| A67379 | Doth our Author think the name of Sunday to be as old as Iob''s times? |
| A67379 | How much less Man who is a Worm, and the Son of Man which is a Worm? |
| A67379 | If 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? |
| A67379 | If he say that the account is to be rectified by the way( before he comes home) then Where? |
| A67379 | If 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? |
| A67379 | If you ask, How much sooner? |
| A67379 | If you ask, How this can be? |
| A67379 | Must not they be Sabbata? |
| A67379 | Must they never Restore the Sabbath because they do not know the day? |
| A67379 | Or must they begin upon a New Account? |
| A67379 | Or,( if that be too hard a question) whether of the two is the Seventh day of the Iewish week? |
| A67379 | Then, to what purpose are these alleged, in disparagement of the Christian Sabbath? |
| A67379 | What doth this Gentleman think( in such case) should be done? |
| A67379 | What is Man, that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him? |
| A67379 | What other occasion was there of mentioning what day of the Week it was? |
| A67379 | Who, but our Lord Iesus Christ, that is Lord of the Sabbath, hath power to institute a Sabbath day? |
| A67379 | and by What rule? |
| A67379 | and which day of the Week shall he reckon that to be? |
| A67379 | or When? |
| A67379 | or must they keep it one on the one day, and the other on the other? |
| A67379 | or other of the Week days? |
| A67379 | they must cast up their accounts, tell their money,& c. because they were to offer according as the Lord hath blessed them? |
| A67379 | what of this? |
| A67379 | when he comes home, or somewhere by the way? |
| A87056 | Are you Christians or Infidels? |
| A87056 | Can there be no medium in your mirth and chearfull repasts, below this sinne of Dishonour, Beastly, and Debaucht behaviour? |
| A87056 | Do you professe to worship God, or Mahomet? |
| A87056 | Do you think you have no souls to save, nor to lose? |
| A87056 | How can you be saved if you will not come unto him that you may have life? |
| A87056 | How canst thou call on the Name of that God in the time of calamity and distresse, which thou hast so often cursed and blasphemed? |
| A87056 | How canst thou expect that blood to expiate thy sins, and to wash away thy iniquities, that hath so often spit his blood and wounds out of thy mouth? |
| A87056 | How sad would it be to us, if we heard the sad cryes in Torment? |
| A87056 | How shall you believe on him of whom you have not heard? |
| A87056 | If such a judgment be threatned against such as keep not this day; what must be the fearful looking for of Judgment by the profaners of it? |
| A87056 | In the morning he set out, and not yet out of the Tovvnes end, one met him, and said, What David, to day, to day? |
| A87056 | Is it not a sad thing, to see men drown body and soul together? |
| A87056 | Is not the Lords Name as the Apple of his ● e? |
| A87056 | Is not this a sad case to be in a Christian Common- wealth? |
| A87056 | Is refraining from labour a toil to us? |
| A87056 | Is to be eased of sin a burden? |
| A87056 | It must be presumed, thou knowest ● to be a sin; How inexcusable then ● st it be unto thee, whose consci ● ● ce is convinced thereof? |
| A87056 | Jesus said, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
| A87056 | Lord then let me be burdened? |
| A87056 | May I not wish, that Drunken ● esse were a sin rare in the Island of Britain? |
| A87056 | Or canst thou expect any blessing upon thy outward estate, when it is in the power of God to dispose of life, being, health, estate, and all? |
| A87056 | Seneca Who hath woe? |
| A87056 | Shall a Trumpet be blowne in the City, and the people not be afraid? |
| A87056 | These are sad examples of Gods Severity and Justice, Who can stand before a consuming fire? |
| A87056 | What art thou guilty of that occasions this sin? |
| A87056 | What if some have no other living? |
| A87056 | What is a more unspeakable mercy, than for souls to have communion with God, as well as our own hearts? |
| A87056 | What profit have you of those things wherein one day you shall be ashamed? |
| A87056 | What zeal was here in Heathens against this odious sin? |
| A87056 | Who hath sorrow ● who hath contention? |
| A87056 | Who will not say this was a sad and immediate hand of the Lord? |
| A87056 | Would not such ingratitude look odious in vulgar friendship? |
| A87056 | how can you hear without a Preacher? |
| A87056 | how many destroyed by ● violent death? |
| A87056 | is it not the worst of judgements? |
| A87056 | let them be examples to you; will not the wrath of God revealed stand in our way, and encompasse us about with terrour and fear? |
| A87056 | that at night Gods protection should leave us, as in our graves, when we are in our beds? |
| A87056 | the question is, can they live no otherwise, than by making men drunk? |
| A87056 | what need then to strike at the root of iniquity? |
| A87056 | which is accompanied with so great tokens of Gods sore displeasure? |
| A87056 | who would not dread the Issue? |
| A87056 | who wound without cure? |
| A87056 | will not the Patience, Goodnesse, and Long- suffering of God, lead us to repentance? |
| A87056 | would not this swell provocation to the greatest latitude of revenge? |
| A16722 | & is it the servants worke where about as a servant he is imployed, that neither is vndertaken of himselfe, nor for himselfe? |
| A16722 | ( So if the Pope succeedeth Peter in place, must he therefore succeede him in equality of power?) |
| A16722 | And doth not the practise of holy gouernours registred in the Scriptures, declare, that they had the same vnderstanding of the commandement? |
| A16722 | And is it wisdome in a seruant to commit himselfe sinne to prevent his Masters sinne? |
| A16722 | And is not this more agreeable to the doctrine of the holy Apostles of our Saviour, every where delivered touching servants? |
| A16722 | And tell me to whom is the charge of seruants ceasing from worke on the Saboath day giuen? |
| A16722 | And to please them in all things without excepting of any day or of any labour? |
| A16722 | And why the seauenth? |
| A16722 | But I demand whether it be giuen& imposed to the seruants themselues, or to the Masters whose seruants they are? |
| A16722 | But might not the celebration of the Sabaoth, which thus ceased, bee justly translated by the Church to the first day of the weeke? |
| A16722 | But what doth the honour of God then stand at the courtesie of man to prophane that day( if they list) with worke at their pleasure? |
| A16722 | But what of that? |
| A16722 | By any commandement of God? |
| A16722 | Can the Church make these the same commandement? |
| A16722 | For could the Church make that Gods commandement which was not his commandement? |
| A16722 | For was it the shadow of Christs resting in the graue that day? |
| A16722 | For what worke is it that men are forbidden of the Sabaoth? |
| A16722 | For would that haue beene permitted if it had beene vnlawfull? |
| A16722 | God hath forbidden him; should he not worke? |
| A16722 | Good Sit tell me did the stranger sinne if hee eat of the passeouer being supposed invited? |
| A16722 | His Church increased by that whereby himselfe was dishonoured? |
| A16722 | How then hath the first day of the weeke gained the celebration and solemnity to become the Sabaoth of the Christians? |
| A16722 | How? |
| A16722 | In all things? |
| A16722 | In what points? |
| A16722 | In what sort? |
| A16722 | Is it not sinne to giue consent and furtherance to another mans sinne? |
| A16722 | Is it to the seruants themselues or to their Masters? |
| A16722 | Is there fast and loose in the same commandement with God? |
| A16722 | Namely for all the workes of labour, but not for the workes of sinne: and how for the workes of labour? |
| A16722 | Neither thy sonne nor thy daughter, shall doe any worke on the Sabaoth day: is it not to the Parents? |
| A16722 | No but them vnder whose power the servants were, the rulers of Iudah; and what rulers? |
| A16722 | Or could the Church of God be increased by the sinnes of men? |
| A16722 | Or did the Ammonites or Moabites sin if they came into the congregation being admitted? |
| A16722 | Or had hee done more iustly to exact that of the seruants which,( for ought that appeareth) the commandement of God exacted not from them? |
| A16722 | Or if perswasion had beene needful, were this a convenient perswasion to vse to seruants? |
| A16722 | Or to what intent and purpose is that( remember) brought in? |
| A16722 | Remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Aegypt: which euen now, when they were out the land of Aegypt were seruants? |
| A16722 | Say that the Church of God may translate the commandement of God from one day to another at their pleasure, did they it therefore? |
| A16722 | Seeing that phrase of speech( thy man seruant thy maidseruant) can not rightly be vsed to any other? |
| A16722 | That is in all readinesse and humility, obedient to all in such sort: how farre? |
| A16722 | That that day ought to be obserued vnder the same obligation with the Sabaoth? |
| A16722 | The Lords day? |
| A16722 | The seruants by whose imployment and labour these things were done, and the Sabaoth defiled? |
| A16722 | Translated, by whom? |
| A16722 | Was it not the seauenth day of the weeke? |
| A16722 | Was therefore the commandement of God translated also? |
| A16722 | What if the consecration of the Sabaoth was by the Church translated to the first day of the weeke? |
| A16722 | What then? |
| A16722 | Where is it? |
| A16722 | Would I set at liberty that euery man may freely prophane the Lords day with extraordinary labour? |
| A16722 | Would not seruants, over set and wearied with six daies toile, be of themselues glad to rest on the seauenth? |
| A16722 | a desistāce from all worke? |
| A16722 | for( that we may take a very short view of their doctrine touching servants obedience) what masters are they to whom servants ought to be obedient? |
| A16722 | or would he himselfe c on the Sabaoth day haue made clay, and anointed with it the eyes of the blinde? |
| A16722 | the Magistrats only? |
| A16722 | was it barely to keepe& obserue the Sabaoth, as it is in the vulgar English, Latine and Greeke translations? |
| A10130 | 17? |
| A10130 | 19 But how doth this consent with their decisions concerning messengers and posts? |
| A10130 | 29? |
| A10130 | 44. without expression of the particular day of that week? |
| A10130 | And did not that promise containe the whole substance of the Covenant of grace? |
| A10130 | And indeed, doth not she sanctifie places, when she appointeth, and setteth them apart, that in them God may be served? |
| A10130 | And is it not as just for Christians, as for Iewes? |
| A10130 | And why? |
| A10130 | But of what? |
| A10130 | But was it then by keeping the Sabbath day, or any other of the Iewish rites and ceremonies? |
| A10130 | But what if he be poore himselfe, having no more than is needfull, or not so much as is behoofefull for him and his familie? |
| A10130 | But what if he hath not bought it? |
| A10130 | Doth it not remaine alwaies? |
| A10130 | Evnuch in his owne Countrey? |
| A10130 | For 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? |
| A10130 | For how ordinary is it in the same sequele of a discourse to diversifie the particular subjects, and to passe from one to another? |
| A10130 | For how shall a Christian settle his minde upon this distinction of present and imminent necessities? |
| A10130 | For 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? |
| A10130 | For 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? |
| A10130 | For 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? |
| A10130 | For where and from whence is there any evidence of this? |
| A10130 | For where is that written? |
| A10130 | For who hath told them that the Disciples did keepe that course? |
| A10130 | God will he not grant them to us as well as to them? |
| A10130 | Have they to underprop this their assertion any cleere and evident testimony brought from the unreprocheable truth of holy Scripture? |
| A10130 | How came he to that height of holinesse and righteousnesse that was in him? |
| A10130 | How could that be, seeing he was before Moses, and the making of his Lawes? |
| A10130 | How did he sanctifie it( speaking of the Sabbath?) |
| A10130 | If they knew it, why did they not practise it of themselves? |
| A10130 | In a word, doth hee not claime all other things which hee commanded to the Iewes concerning his service, as his owne? |
| A10130 | Is it, because nothing can be seene in it figurative of Iesus Christ, as in all other signes? |
| A10130 | May he not be in such a condition and estate, that he hath not sufficiently wherewith to entertaine himselfe and his family? |
| A10130 | Moreover; Gods blessing and sanctification can it have an indefinite and uncertaine object; so that God in particular sanctified nothing? |
| A10130 | Must we in this case be carelesse, stand still, and looke on? |
| A10130 | Nobis Christianis non tanta támve severa& rigida cessatio imposita est: Non& ex lege Constantini licet& serere& metere die Dominico, si commodum sit? |
| A10130 | Now if this example bindeth us not at this time under the New Testament, as shall be proved hereafter, how farre lesse obliged it Adam? |
| A10130 | Now what certainty or probability is there, that Iesus Christ on the first day of his appearing to his Disciples gave them this ordinance? |
| A10130 | Now, what can all these Trades- men alleage, but the losse of some temporall profit? |
| A10130 | Quis prohibuit, quin Ecclesia, ficut diem septimum transtult in diem Dominicum: sic etiam illos reliquos dies festos in alios transferre potuerit? |
| A10130 | Quomodo autem sanctificavit? |
| A10130 | Their condition and nature giveth it unto them? |
| A10130 | This shall it profane the day of holy exercises rather than that? |
| A10130 | To doe nothing at all shall it bee more acceptable to GOD, then to doe a worke that is honest and lawfull in it selfe? |
| A10130 | Vpon what grounds is it said, that it was not typicall and figurative as all the rest? |
| A10130 | Was it because God rested on that day? |
| A10130 | Was it by observing the Mosaicall Law? |
| A10130 | Were not the Iewes spred over the whole Roman Empire before CHRIST came into the World? |
| A10130 | Were not the ten Tribes transported out of their native soile, and dispersed among the Medes, Perses, and other Nations? |
| A10130 | What if among the Israelites, many stumbled at the same stone? |
| A10130 | What shall hee doe in this case? |
| A10130 | Where is to be found a seventh day unlimited, wherein God did rest? |
| A10130 | Where shall wee find before this time the word and the ordinance thereof? |
| A10130 | Wherefore then make they an unequall distinction, and permit some travell to them, rather than to others? |
| A10130 | Whereof a signe? |
| A10130 | Who seeth not in this a manifest absurditie? |
| A10130 | Who seeth not the manifest absurdity of such an illation? |
| A10130 | Will any Divine, any Lawgiver, any Logician make of this a probleme, and hold for the affirmative? |
| A10130 | Will they say, that from the creation of the world God blessed and hallowed that day to men? |
| A10130 | doth this right belong to all things that are of the positive Law? |
| A10130 | that he prescribed not any before the Law, and hath not injoyned any to Christians under the Gospell? |
| A26918 | 6, 7, 8? |
| A26918 | 7. for the Trinity, so others say of other Texts; And how shall we confute them without Historical Evidence? |
| A26918 | After this how many Councils and how many Imperial Laws take care of the Lords dayes? |
| A26918 | And O Christian what happy advantage in such controversies have you, in your holy sincerity and sweet experience? |
| A26918 | And besides Origen( 〈 ◊ 〉 a Heretick) and Hierome, alas, how few of the Fathers were ● ble and diligent Examiners of such things? |
| A26918 | And can you think Christ approved of that opinion, who had so oft before condemned the like, about their over rigid sabbatizing? |
| A26918 | And how can any man know the Ceremonial Law to be Divine, by its proper evidence alone? |
| A26918 | And how can any meer Positive institutions o ● the New Testament be known proprio lumine, by their own evidence to be Divine? |
| A26918 | And how could men pretend such a Divine reproof for such a sin, if the day not been received before? |
| A26918 | And how much doth the doctrine of Christianity depend on the history? |
| A26918 | And how shall we disprove them but by Historical Evidence? |
| A26918 | And how should there be a humane Law before there was a Christian Magistracie? |
| A26918 | And is not Gods Service better work than these? |
| A26918 | And it is utterly improbable that there would have been no dissenters? |
| A26918 | And may not ignorant people be brought one day to endure to be taught as long? |
| A26918 | And were it not for this dayes observation, alas, how different would the case be? |
| A26918 | And were such Assemblies like to the primitive Churches? |
| A26918 | And what can you gather from all this? |
| A26918 | And what greater thing can man be bound to, than thus, to keep up the solemn acknowledgement and worship of God and our Redeemer in the world? |
| A26918 | And what needs he more for confutation? |
| A26918 | And what shew of Contradiction hath his 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to this? |
| A26918 | And what that can not determine we all con ● ess to be uncertain? |
| A26918 | And what time have they to hear or learn? |
| A26918 | And what writer have we of full reputation and credibility more ancient than Justin, from whom any testimony in this case might be sought? |
| A26918 | And when God saith, Ask and it shall be given you, you say, How prove you that I am bound to ask? |
| A26918 | And when he Circumcised Tim ● thy, purified himself, shaved his head, for his Vow,& c. Do you think that all these are duties to Believers? |
| A26918 | And whether all that was of the Law of Nature was in the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | And whether all that was of the Law of Nature was in the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | And whether there have been any true Churches since then till our own dayes? |
| A26918 | And why may it not be continued, whilest the great sense of the benefit should be continued? |
| A26918 | And will those deceivers of the people also say this, who teach them that it is a tedious uncommanded thing, to serve God so long? |
| A26918 | And yet, alas, what day hath more ryotting and excess, of meat, and drink, and wantonness, and sloth, and lust, than it? |
| A26918 | Are not we men as well as you? |
| A26918 | As if Christs Resurrection could not be the fundamental occasion, and yet Christs Law the obliging cause? |
| A26918 | As the institution of Sacraments, Officers, Orders,& c. What is there in them that can infallibly prove it to us? |
| A26918 | But O what a Carnal unthankful heart; doth this objection signifie? |
| A26918 | But do not all Divines say that the Moral Law is of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | But doth not this shew that you had rather there were no Command for it? |
| A26918 | But how much earlier were all those Synods which Eusebius mentioned, which in the determination of Easter owned the Lords day? |
| A26918 | But if you dare not say so, Why will you choose the worse, before the better? |
| A26918 | But is this an Argument fit for the mouth of a Minister or any Christian, who knoweth how much the soul is more worth than the body? |
| A26918 | But that''s nothing to the question, Whether all things in the ten words are of Natural Obligation? |
| A26918 | But where is it proved, that the Law or the Decalogue are words of the same signification, or extent; any more, than the whole and a part are? |
| A26918 | But who is it that must be present in all these exercises? |
| A26918 | Dare you say, that playing is better than Praying, and a Piper or Dancing is better than praising God with Psalms? |
| A26918 | Did no Christians in the world so neer to the Apostles daies make any scruple of superstition? |
| A26918 | Do they not tell the world what enemies they are to God, who love a pair of Cards, or Dice, or Wanton Dalliance, better than his Word and Worship? |
| A26918 | Do you cry out, What a weariness is this one day, when you would adde of your own such a multitude of more dayes, and more work? |
| A26918 | Do you limit Dancers, and Players to any numbers? |
| A26918 | Do you think that all this is established for us? |
| A26918 | E. g. If the second Command say, Thou shalt perform all Gods instituted Worship: Or, Thou shalt Worship me, as I appoint thee? |
| A26918 | For how is it a day separated to holy employments, if we spend it in the common business of the world? |
| A26918 | For they yet knew not that it was abrogated; But must we do so too? |
| A26918 | HOw should the Lords day be kept or used? |
| A26918 | Had not he a Creating head here that out of these words could gather, that we celebrate the Lords day without a command Voluntarily? |
| A26918 | Hath he done so much to deliver us from the strait Yoak, the heavy Burden, and the grievous Commandments? |
| A26918 | Have not several Ages had as great improvers of nature as you? |
| A26918 | Have ye not houses to eat and drink in? |
| A26918 | How can any man know that the Scripture histories are Canonical? |
| A26918 | How can that oblige which can not be known? |
| A26918 | How did the Christians in the Primitive Churches? |
| A26918 | How far then are we bound by the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | How far then is the fourth Commandment Moral? |
| A26918 | How many interruptions hinder my delight? |
| A26918 | How many necessary intermissions are there, which confute this pretense of weariness? |
| A26918 | How quickly is it gone? |
| A26918 | How the Lords day should not be spent: Or, What is unlawful on it? |
| A26918 | How then can that be called Accidental? |
| A26918 | If Learning must be the improver, have there been none as learned? |
| A26918 | If a sparrow fall not to the ground without Gods providence, did God choose that day He knew not why? |
| A26918 | If any men need remission of Studies, and bodily Exercise it is Ministers themselves: And is it themselves that they plead for Sports and Dancing for? |
| A26918 | If diligence or impartiality must be the improvers of nature, have there not been many as diligent, studious and impartial as your selves? |
| A26918 | If grace must be the improver, are there, or have there been none as gracious? |
| A26918 | If one would give you Money or Land, you would scarcely ask, How prove you that I am bound to take it? |
| A26918 | If the Apostles, silently connived at such corruptions, how could we rest on their authority? |
| A26918 | If the King should say to you ▪ Ask what you will, and I will give it you, you would not say, Where am I bound of God to ask? |
| A26918 | If they did, which part is the sanctified part of the day? |
| A26918 | If you hear but of a gainful Market ▪ you ask not, Where doth God make it my duty to go to it? |
| A26918 | Is it a toile to love or count your money? |
| A26918 | Is it any thing which you dare say is better? |
| A26918 | Is it not made by the Holy Ghost, a mark not only of wicked men, but of men notoriously wicked, to be Lovers of pleasures more than of God? |
| A26918 | Is not the Lords day a Sabbath? |
| A26918 | Is this a proof to conclude a[ Certainty] from? |
| A26918 | O that we knew what the Love of God is? |
| A26918 | O what an advantage is it to know by experience what one talketh of? |
| A26918 | Or did it fall out hap hazard or by chance? |
| A26918 | Or shall we suffer the lo ● ● of many pounds rather than sti ● r to save them? |
| A26918 | Or such Families governed Christianly and in the fear of God? |
| A26918 | Or when the name of the Author is not notified to all Christians certainly, either by the spirit within us, or by the matter? |
| A26918 | Or where is it proved, that none of the rest of the Law is written in Nature, but the Decalogue only? |
| A26918 | Reader, is not here a strange kind of proof? |
| A26918 | Shall I think a Week short enough for my worldly labours,) and one day( thus parcelled) too long to seek the face of God? |
| A26918 | Shall we violate the outward rest of the day for the worth of 〈 ◊ 〉 Groat or two Pence( as the feeding of Hens or such like may be?) |
| A26918 | So it must here be considered, who will know of the Action which you do? |
| A26918 | To sanctifie it, is to spend it in holy exercises: How else should it be used as a Holy Day? |
| A26918 | Try what answer they will give you, and whether they will not deride you more than at another time? |
| A26918 | V. Whether the truest Antiquity be for the seventh day Sabbath as kept by the Churches of Christ? |
| A26918 | V. Whether the truest Antiquity be for the seventh day Sabbath, as kept by the Churches of Christ? |
| A26918 | Was eating leavened bread forbidden by the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Was it not according to the course of Nature? |
| A26918 | Was there no Countrey, nor no persons whose interest would not better suit with another day, or an uncertain day? |
| A26918 | Was this a Heavenly Coversation? |
| A26918 | Was this a help to holiness and Devotion? |
| A26918 | Was this the way to train up youth in the Nurture and Admonition of the Lord? |
| A26918 | Were any of the Authors I before cited either Antichristian or 1200 years after Christ? |
| A26918 | What hearts have those men, that had rather be in an Ale- house, or a Play- house, or asleep, than to be in heart with God? |
| A26918 | What man alive could tell without historical proof that the Canticles, or Esther, are Canonical? |
| A26918 | What must be done in such cases as these? |
| A26918 | What then shall we do? |
| A26918 | What then would these poor people come to, if the Lords day it self must be alsoloitered or played away? |
| A26918 | What time hath the Minister then to come and teach them( if we had such Ministers again as would be at the pains to do it?) |
| A26918 | What, do you account your Love to God, and the Commemoration of his Love in Christ, a toile? |
| A26918 | When doth the Lords day begin? |
| A26918 | When you had rather be elsewhere, and say When will the Sermon and Prayer be done, that I may be at my Work or Play? |
| A26918 | Whether every word in the Decalogue be of the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Whether every word in the Decalogue be of the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Whether the learning of Gods Word, or the Pleasures and Recreations of the flesh? |
| A26918 | Whether the observation of the first day was not brought into this Island by Antichrist, about 408 or 409 years agoe? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath be part of the Law of Nature; or only a Positive Law? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath be part of the Law of Nature; or only a Positive Law? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath should be still kept by Christians, as of Divine obligation? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath should be still kept by Christians, as of Divine obligation? |
| A26918 | Who is it that doth not presently fly to historical evidence? |
| A26918 | Whoever heard else that God or man tyed several Countreys to one set day for the private depositing of their own moneys afterward to be distributed? |
| A26918 | Why will you be weary of well doing, that you may do ill? |
| A26918 | Why would you not name those Churches in East and West( which I never read or heard of) yea or that person, that was for the seventh day alone? |
| A26918 | Without historical notice, how should we know that these Books were written by any of the same men that bear their names? |
| A26918 | Without it we should not fully know whether de facto the Church and Ministry dyed, or almost dyed with the Apostles? |
| A26918 | Would not a soul ▪ that loveth God rather say, Alas, how short is the Lords day? |
| A26918 | Would they be companions of the vain in such like vanities? |
| A26918 | Yea, as this man confesseth by their Approbation and Authority? |
| A26918 | and Eternity more valuable than the pleasures of this little time? |
| A26918 | and now shall we accuse him of bringing us under a toylesome task? |
| A26918 | and of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | and of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | and what use they are like to make of it? |
| A26918 | if it had not been because the Churches used to assemble on this day, and not to appear before God empty( as Dr. Hammond noteth on the Text?) |
| A26918 | methinks should not for shame say that God hath tired them out, and made them too much work already? |
| A26918 | on the first day: Was it not enough to tie them to the contribution, but he must tie them all to one set day to lay it by, or deposite it? |
| A26918 | or at least their opinions? |
| A26918 | or despise ye the Church of God? |
| A26918 | or of such an addition to Divine institutions? |
| A26918 | or to the Mortification of fleshly Lusts? |
| A26918 | to feast your Body on the pleasantest Food? |
| A26918 | to love and converse with your Friend? |
| A26918 | to love and look upon your Corn and Cattle? |
| A26918 | what houres were they which they thought thus separated? |
| A26918 | which do you think it better to leave undone, if one of them must be left undone? |
| A26918 | yea or Ecclesiastes, or the Proverbs, and not the Books of Wisdome and Ecclesiasticus? |
| 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? |
| A64001 | 1 Whether seeing the Lords day succeeds the Jewish Sabbath, wee are to keepe it in the same manner, and with the same strictnesse? |
| A64001 | 1. Who hath made us? |
| A64001 | 10. 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? |
| A64001 | 13 I Take notice of Tertull, Iustin Martyr:] true; but they alter not my judgement: And why? |
| A64001 | 16 Where had Rhenanus that opinion? |
| A64001 | 16. puts a Christian soule upon this meditation, Good Lord, what doe I upon the Sabbath day? |
| A64001 | 2. Who will infinitely reward us? |
| A64001 | 2. that the observation of the Sabbath was ceremoniall] As a shadow? |
| A64001 | 20. and what should that bee but the Lords Day under the Gospell? |
| A64001 | 20. what will you conclude herence? |
| A64001 | 3. doth only our freedome from the yoke of ceremonies requires this? |
| A64001 | Againe the day of Christs Paspassion upon the Crosse, is not called the Lords day; and why the day of the Resurrection rather? |
| A64001 | Againe, why should their opinion be Jewish, by maintaining it out of the old Testament; rather then out of the new? |
| A64001 | An est apostolicum factum aliquod, jure non apostolico? |
| A64001 | And 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? |
| A64001 | And are not our Temples the houses of God? |
| A64001 | And did they not inferre this there- hence also, as most agreeable to the Will of God? |
| A64001 | And have we not great cause to inure our selves betimes thus to sabbatize with God, as he sabbatizeth with us? |
| A64001 | And how are we in Christ, but by faith? |
| A64001 | And is it likely that Eve was about the service of God, when the Divell assaulted her? |
| A64001 | And is it not wonderous strange, that none of the Historians of those times should make any mention of him? |
| A64001 | And is it probable, that the Primitive Church prescribed it to the Apostles, and not rather the Apostles to the Church? |
| A64001 | And is not this wilde stuffe, in reference to the sanctification of the Lords day, now in question amongst us? |
| A64001 | And is the publike joy after such a manner exprest( to wit) by publique shame? |
| A64001 | And lastly Christ bringing with him a new Creation is it strange that he should bring with him a new Sabbath? |
| A64001 | And now according to the principles of these Sabbatarians, what would you counsaile them to doe? |
| A64001 | And shall we thinke that this could be done without an apostolicall prescript? |
| A64001 | And the next begins with this question, what then? |
| A64001 | And under what stile did they reject him, and condemne him as a blasphemer but for making himselfe the Son of God? |
| A64001 | And was not Walaeus one of the foure? |
| A64001 | And what day was called the Lords Day before, but the day of the Jewes Sabbath? |
| A64001 | And what is the object of this our faith? |
| A64001 | And what powers are these powers of death, hee rhetoricates of? |
| A64001 | And what should move them to illustrate the memory of Christs Resurrection weekly? |
| A64001 | And what should these people doe when they were returned? |
| A64001 | And what wise man would expect that any man should be satisfied herewith? |
| A64001 | And who is able to give us strength to performe it? |
| A64001 | And who saith hee, knowes not, what that place was where the Lord planted the Tree of life? |
| A64001 | And who was nearer or dearer unto Calvin then Beza? |
| A64001 | And who would not expect, that some one of these at least, should be produced to testifie so much either by word or writing? |
| A64001 | And why not? |
| A64001 | And why shall not the time come under the same condition? |
| A64001 | And why should wee thinke the Aegyptians more rigorous to the Israelites then the Babylonians were to the Iewes? |
| A64001 | And why the Lords day? |
| A64001 | And why? |
| A64001 | Anetius 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? |
| A64001 | Are not these the Apostles as much as any other? |
| A64001 | Are these workes for the Sabbath? |
| A64001 | As for Abulensis, of what authority is he to preponderate any one of our Divines? |
| A64001 | As 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? |
| A64001 | As 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? |
| A64001 | But doe we not all acknowledge the light of Nature to be much corrupted since the fall of Adam? |
| A64001 | But doth Abulensis accompt the rest of one day in seven ceremoniall, and not morall? |
| A64001 | But if God vouchsafeth us a new creation in the same congruity, may wee not justly expect a new Sabbath? |
| A64001 | But is not the Sabbath a ceremony, and so abrogated by Christ? |
| A64001 | But is not the Sabbath a ceremony, and so abrogated by Christ? |
| A64001 | But upon what ground? |
| A64001 | But what burthen is it( save unto the flesh) to rejoyce in the Lord, to sabbatize with him, to walke with him in holy meditation? |
| A64001 | But what is his ground to deny the parity of reason here? |
| A64001 | But what is that benefit of the common people, whereof this Translator is so zealous? |
| A64001 | But what thing? |
| A64001 | But what? |
| A64001 | But when the question is made what Sabbath? |
| A64001 | But where corrected? |
| A64001 | But whether is the observation of the Lords Day morall? |
| A64001 | But who and how many are those all? |
| A64001 | But you thinke the Apostles did not prescribe the observation of that day; No? |
| A64001 | Can 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? |
| A64001 | Can I answer this to my God? |
| A64001 | Can he shew this to be their opinion? |
| A64001 | Cur porrò illum diem plerique Sectariorum Sabbatum appellatis? |
| A64001 | Did he sanctifie it for his owne use? |
| A64001 | Did the Author report of gratifying the people thus, and quench his care of providing for their benefit? |
| A64001 | Doth it not concerne them who maintaine this affirmative to make it good by Texts of Scripture? |
| A64001 | Doth it therefore follow that wee may not keepe the seventh day in memory of the worlds Creation? |
| A64001 | First whether the Sabbath were ordained by God immediately upon the Creation of the World? |
| A64001 | Fistly, And it is cleare( saith Doctor Willet) by the Serpents first on set, hath God sayd ye shall not eate of every Tree? |
| A64001 | For if the labours of our calling are forbidden in the holy day, how much more such recreations? |
| A64001 | For what? |
| A64001 | For what? |
| A64001 | For why not as well some dayes more or some dayes lesse? |
| A64001 | For why not as well to that day three weekes after, or that day a month after, and so in Infinitum? |
| A64001 | Hast thou kept the Lords Day? |
| A64001 | Hast thou kept the Sabbath? |
| A64001 | Hath the Lord a Day under the Gospell, but no Sabbath, no holy Day? |
| A64001 | He shewes also, it was an usuall question put to Christians, Dominicum servasti? |
| A64001 | Hee delights rather in carnall pleasures; and is it fit to humour him in such courses, and that on the Lords day? |
| A64001 | How came Aristotle then the greatest Philosopher that ever was, and his whole schoole, how I say came they to be ignorant of it? |
| A64001 | How far off is he from acknowledging it to have beene instituted by the Lord? |
| A64001 | How shall it appeare to be the Law of nature to sanctifie one day every weeke? |
| A64001 | How shall the fourth Commandement bind us considering the forme of words to keep any day but only the seventh?] |
| A64001 | How then came it to passe, that they all so throughly, and at the first, agreed herein? |
| A64001 | I wonder the Prefacer omits Cuohlinus, was it because that which others call consuetudinem Ecclesiae, hee calls consuetudinem Apostolicam? |
| A64001 | If he can, why doth he not? |
| A64001 | If this be( as I conceave it is) the meaning of the place; what is this to dayes? |
| A64001 | In our solemne assemblies is not aladder erected betweene earth and heaven? |
| A64001 | Indeed the use of the very name of Sabbath is now a dayes carped at; and why? |
| A64001 | Is it evident by the light of nature that God is not to be worshipped by an Image? |
| A64001 | Is it from any evidence of Scripture? |
| A64001 | Is it judiciall, or ceremoniall? |
| A64001 | Is it not Scripture that calls it the Lords Day? |
| A64001 | Is it not against the Jewes, that Austin professeth? |
| A64001 | Is it not apparent that Christs rising did ever after give the denomination of the Lords Day, to the first day of the weeke? |
| A64001 | Is it not high time Christ should come to set an end to it? |
| A64001 | Is not all other rejoycing in comparison to our rejoycing in him a rejoycing in a a thing of nought? |
| A64001 | Is not the law of sanctifying the Sabbath one of the tenne Commandements delivered by God from Mount Sinai as well as the other nine? |
| A64001 | Is there any fact of the Apostles, by right not apostolicall? |
| A64001 | Is this to keepe the holy day? |
| A64001 | Is this to keepe the holy day? |
| A64001 | Lastly, 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? |
| A64001 | Man, of the doctrine of the Sabbath, which appeares to be D. Bowndes; Now, was this ever called in? |
| A64001 | May I not adde a third? |
| A64001 | Nay, upon this very consideration have we not the more cause to strive against this intestine corruption of ours? |
| A64001 | No can? |
| A64001 | Now have we not as much cause to performe this duty under the Gospell as ever the Jewes had under the Law? |
| A64001 | Now if the more noble workes are forbidden on that day, how much more such as are inferior are forbidden? |
| A64001 | Now what one of our Divines can be alleaged to derive the authority of the Lords day from the law of Moses? |
| A64001 | Now what sober Christian would affect liberty to bee scandalous? |
| A64001 | Now what worke, like unto the resurrection of Christ, on the first day of the weeke? |
| A64001 | Now, what doth Doctor Bownde affirme forty yeeres agoe, which Doctor Andrewes did not in his patterne of Catecheticall doctrine? |
| A64001 | Or 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? |
| A64001 | Or 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? |
| A64001 | Or is it the rest of the day? |
| A64001 | Or that the Prophet Moses would have used such care in ordering the Decalogue, onely to bring the Church into greater troubles? |
| A64001 | Other Divines of these dayes, had rather call it positive; but how? |
| A64001 | Philo in his second book of Moses writing thus, Quis sacrum illum diem, per singulas hebdomadas recurrentem non honorat? |
| A64001 | Secondly, if it be not morall, what shall it be? |
| A64001 | Shall 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? |
| A64001 | Shall we affirme that the Lords Day is founded in Divine authority? |
| A64001 | That were absurd to thinke the Word sanctifying doth refute it; for whom then? |
| A64001 | The first is drawn from the forme of Adams temptation, thus, why doe you not eate of every tree of paradise? |
| A64001 | The next reason here mentioned followeth; Can we conceive that this onely ceremoniall law crept in, we know not how, amongst the morall? |
| A64001 | Then againe which of us comes nearest to Judaisme herein? |
| A64001 | Then he demands whether the Apostles did not keepe the Jewish Sabbath? |
| A64001 | Then he demands, whether the Primitive Church did not designe as well the Sabbath as the Lords Day to sacred meetings? |
| A64001 | Then he makes mention of another relation; Aliud quoque ad me perlatum est; Another report was brought unto mee; and what was that? |
| A64001 | Then whether all Christians are obliged by the fourth Commandement, alwayes to set a part one day in seven to Gods holy worship? |
| A64001 | Then, who are they that maintaine it onely by the old Testament? |
| A64001 | Thirdly, what danger is there in affirming, that the Lords Day is of Divine institution? |
| A64001 | To the first of these here the Doctor answereth thus, To which we say with the Apostle: Doe we destroy the Law by faith? |
| A64001 | To this Doctor Rivetus alledgeth the answer of Doctor Prideaux, demanding how that we contend for his inferred herehence? |
| A64001 | Was hee ever questioned for this? |
| A64001 | We 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? |
| A64001 | What danger either to Prince, Church, or State? |
| A64001 | What is that which they say is not ceremoniall? |
| A64001 | What is the cause( saith he) that many of our Sectaries call this day the Sabbath? |
| A64001 | What more reasonable disposition humane, then that which is conformable to constitution Divine? |
| A64001 | What not so much as wash their hands or their face? |
| A64001 | What 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? |
| A64001 | When will the Sabbath be gone, that they might returne to their worldly courses? |
| A64001 | When you aske, Did not the Apostles keepe the Iewish Sabbath? |
| A64001 | Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? |
| A64001 | Who doth not honour that holy day ▪ according to the weekely revolution thereof? |
| A64001 | Who 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? |
| A64001 | Who would desire an adversary should betray more weakenesse than this Author? |
| A64001 | Why then should it be thought superfluous to ordaine some dayes for the works of this World, and one day for the service of God? |
| A64001 | Yet to draw nearer to the morality of it; what? |
| A64001 | Yet what are these to be talkt of in comparison to those which are comprised in two bookes of miracles, written by Cluniacensis? |
| A64001 | Yet 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? |
| A64001 | Yet what saith Austin against these heretickes, to whom this Author in the first place referreth us? |
| A64001 | and is this knowne by the light of nature? |
| A64001 | and was it not kept in the Arke as well as the rest? |
| A64001 | are they not the very gates of heaven? |
| A64001 | as all confesse the religious observation of the Sabbath; and did they understand any other religion of the Sabbath but as from Divine institution? |
| A64001 | but never was there( for ought I read) a question whether the Jewes should keepe the Lords day? |
| A64001 | but running thus; Yea? |
| A64001 | declare, if thou hast understanding, who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? |
| A64001 | did Calvin any where teach this? |
| A64001 | did they observe the Sabbath? |
| A64001 | hath God sayd yee shall not eate of every tree in the Garden? |
| A64001 | hath not Christ deserved at the hands of servants to be as serviceable to their masters as ever? |
| A64001 | if you doe, who shall more deservedly be obnoxious to the censure of Judaisme, you or wee? |
| A64001 | is it the service of the day in the sanctifying of it? |
| A64001 | is not our nature now corrupt? |
| A64001 | is not the Lord on the top of it, and are not we humbled at his feet to heare his Word? |
| A64001 | may not masters exact as many dayes worke of their servants under the Gospell as under the Law? |
| A64001 | nay what thinke wee of Leo and Anthemius Emperours; were not they zelotes too in that decree of theirs( alleaged by the former Baldwin)? |
| A64001 | not Papists I presume, but Protestants rather; and what true Protestant can he name that thinkes otherwise? |
| A64001 | not till a thousand yeares after, had they done so, who would not have said, that their wisdome herein had exceeded all humane discretion? |
| A64001 | of the morall law, or of the tenne commandements; or any one of them? |
| A64001 | shall nothing bee morall that is not knowne to bee so, by light of nature, for what I pray? |
| A64001 | shall the masters keepe one, and the servants another? |
| A64001 | shall the morality of rest granted to servants, be altered also under the Gospell? |
| A64001 | shall we affirme that the Lords day is founded on divine authority? |
| A64001 | shall we beurged to yield to the authority of Calvin, who are reproched usually as Calvinists and so nicknamed? |
| A64001 | should 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? |
| A64001 | that gives mee six dayes for my selfe, and takes but one to himselfe, of which I rob him also? |
| A64001 | that hee should have an holy Day, one in every weeke under the Law; and none under the Gospell? |
| A64001 | therefore the observation of the Jewish Sabbath was still to continue among Christians? |
| A64001 | was shee not too neare the forbidden Fruit? |
| A64001 | what an unreasonable conceite were this? |
| A64001 | what author ancient is there that doth not hold it to have had his originall from the Apostles? |
| A64001 | what conscience can be found so cauteriate as to justifie this? |
| A64001 | what one of the ancients can hee produce to have thought as hee thinks? |
| A64001 | yet what if all this were granted? |
| A64001 | you 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? |
| A59693 | 12.10, 11. what doctrin more crosse to the expresse comand of Christ from heaven then this? |
| A59693 | 14 13. for who sees not but that the speech is metaphoricall in both? |
| A59693 | 16.27, 28. and may we lawfully and charitably think that Abram neglected other morall duties because they are not exp ● esly mentioned? |
| A59693 | 20. for might not God sanctifie it in Paradise, as soon as Gods rest, the cause and foundation of sanctifying of it, was existing? |
| A59693 | 20. the reason of it is plainly set down to be Gods resting on the seveth day, and sanctifying of it long before? |
| A59693 | 21. 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? |
| A59693 | 3 21, 12, ● 3, 24) if they are all guiltlesse untill unbelief comes in? |
| A59693 | 7.9.10, 11. what doctrine more crosse to the salvation of souls, the mercy of God, and forgivenesse of sin? |
| A59693 | And are the principles good in themselves, and suitable to humane nature, and doe not all the conclusions participate of their nature? |
| A59693 | And 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? |
| A59693 | And is it evill thus to want it, and shall it not be good to have it? |
| A59693 | And must not Jesus Christ use the means for the end? |
| A59693 | And 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? |
| A59693 | And therefore can there be a greater sinne above ground committed out of Hell then thus to sinne against this love? |
| A59693 | And what other reason can be given of Limiting this Collection to this Day? |
| A59693 | Are the streams morally sweet, and is not the spring it self of the same nature? |
| A59693 | Are these( I say) the new and glorious light breaking out in these dayes, which this age must wait for? |
| A59693 | As on the contrary the morals abiding, why should not their judicials and fences remaine? |
| A59693 | Bee 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? |
| A59693 | But 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? |
| A59693 | But if the question be, What is the rule of life it self? |
| A59693 | But suppose it was in the open Fields, and that they had no Synagogue: yet will it follow that these were not Iewes? |
| A59693 | But suppose they were few, yet have not small companies, and particular persons as much need of the blessing of a Sabbath? |
| A59693 | But was ever any punctum temporis( which is thought to be no part of time) called by the name of Night as this darkenesse is? |
| A59693 | But what fitnesse was there on this Day for such a service? |
| A59693 | But what is this kinde of arguing, but to teach the holy Ghost, what and when and how to speak? |
| A59693 | But what love is this? |
| A59693 | But why may he not as well say that he calls it the Lords Table in respect of the Churches Custome also? |
| A59693 | But why should they think that publick worship is more required here than private? |
| A59693 | By what Rule did Nehemiah not onely forbid the breach of the Sabbath, but did also threaten bodily punishment upon the men of Tyre? |
| A59693 | C? |
| A59693 | Could any do this justly but by immediate dispensation from the Lord Christ Jesus? |
| A59693 | Could no Nation( saith he) besides the Iewes observe these six things? |
| A59693 | Did not the law in their hearts make them thus cleave to the written law without? |
| A59693 | Dost not pray continually? |
| A59693 | For if a day be morall, what day must it be? |
| A59693 | For if it be in the Churches power to appoint the greatest Holy day; why may not any other Rite and Ceremony be imposed also? |
| A59693 | For 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? |
| A59693 | For 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? |
| A59693 | For was there not as much need to procure Authority to this as well as to ceremonials? |
| A59693 | For what are all particular precepts, but particular unfoldings of love to God, and love to man? |
| A59693 | For 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? |
| A59693 | For( saith he) can not we in England as well as they at Jerusalem remember that Sabbath? |
| A59693 | For, what power had they to call them together when they saw meet? |
| A59693 | He 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? |
| A59693 | How and in what respect it should be so? |
| A59693 | How are we not now under the morall law? |
| A59693 | How comes the wrath of God to be revealed from heaven, not only against unbelief, but against all unrighteousnesse and ungodlinesse of man? |
| A59693 | How then are we not now under it as they were? |
| A59693 | I wonder how it can then convince them of pardon of sin and reconciliation, before they do beleeve? |
| A59693 | If 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? |
| A59693 | If 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? |
| A59693 | If it be demanded therefore, What is that goodnesse in a morall law for which it is therefore commanded? |
| A59693 | If 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? |
| A59693 | If 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? |
| A59693 | If more narrow enquiry be made, what the Law of nature is? |
| A59693 | If the Lord vary his rest, may not be vary the time and day of it,? |
| A59693 | If the question be whether the Sabbath be known by the light of pure nature? |
| A59693 | If the question be, what Type is affixed and annexed to the Sabbath? |
| A59693 | If therefore a condemned sinner be asked whether God may love him, and why he thinks so? |
| A59693 | If this law be not morall, why is it crowned with the same honour, that the rest of the morall precepts are? |
| A59693 | If 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? |
| A59693 | Is it because they were under it as a preparative means for Christ, and not wee? |
| A59693 | Is it in this, that they were under it as a rule of life to walk by, and so are not we? |
| A59693 | Is 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? |
| A59693 | Is it rather a carnall than a spirituall worship, to attend on God in Word and Sacraments? |
| A59693 | Is not Gods Immensity and Majesty acknowledged and seen in the use of his owne Ordinances, as well as creatures and providences? |
| A59693 | Is not private preparation, meditation, secret prayer and converse with God, required upon this day, as well as publick praying and hearing the Word? |
| A59693 | Is not this a meer weaknesse and falsehood which is now made the mystery of this first evidence? |
| A59693 | Is the morall law therefore abolished as a rule of life now? |
| A59693 | May 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? |
| A59693 | May we not lift up pure hands in the use of Gods own institutions? |
| A59693 | No such matter; For should there have been no marriage, no dressing of the garden, no day nor night,& c. in Paradise? |
| A59693 | Now if this 〈 ◊ 〉 was no part of the Sabbath, how could they then be said to sanctifie the Sabbath thereby? |
| A59693 | Or that Abrahams family was so small? |
| A59693 | Or why is it not rather said that he began his rest on that day, but that it is limited to a day? |
| A59693 | Otherwise how will M. Primrose maintain the morality of a day of worship out of this commandment? |
| A59693 | Shall man have six, and all of them morally good, and God have but foure, and some one or more of them not so? |
| A59693 | So that if the question be, What is the rule of faith by which we live? |
| A59693 | Take away a Sabbath, who can defend us from Atheisme, Barbarisme, and all manner of Devilisme and prophanesse? |
| A59693 | That the whole law is not the rule of life? |
| A59693 | The 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? |
| A59693 | This is truth before they reject the Gospel, is it not? |
| A59693 | This the law saith( say some) true, But is not this confirmed by the Ministry of the Gospel also? |
| A59693 | Time 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? |
| A59693 | Verily if it be the Day of the Lord our God( the Lords Day) why is it not the Sabbath of the Lord our God? |
| A59693 | Was it in crossing and thwarting Gods working will or the will of Gods Decree? |
| A59693 | Was not Sacrifice and Offerings good, as well as mercy and walking humbly? |
| A59693 | Were not many filled with the holy Ghost when they heard this Gospel thus preached upon condition of beleeving? |
| A59693 | Were not those three thousand brought into Christ by faith, by Peters promise of remission of sins upon their repentance? |
| A59693 | Were the other nine spoken immediatly by the voice of God on mount Sinai with great terrour and majesty before all the people? |
| A59693 | Were they put into the Arke as most holy and sacred? |
| A59693 | Were they written upon Tables of stone with Gods owne finger twice? |
| A59693 | What evill thing is this that ye do, and prophane the Sabbath day? |
| A59693 | What is there therefore in morall lawes which is not in those lawes? |
| A59693 | What 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? |
| A59693 | What mortall man can limit the Spirit of God, to what evidence he shall first bring in to the conscience of a justified estate? |
| A59693 | What then could this Day be but the Christian Sabbath imposed by the Apostles; and magnified and honoured by all the Churches in those dayes? |
| A59693 | What will ye do in the solemne day, in the day of the feast of the Lord? |
| A59693 | Where is it expressely said that the old Sabbath is abrogated? |
| A59693 | Whether a Beleever be bound to the law as his rule? |
| A59693 | Who teacheth men thus to allegorize? |
| A59693 | Why did Paul perswade Children to honour their parents? |
| A59693 | Why then should we pray together now? |
| A59693 | Will they say that the Sabbath is not to bee sanctified by private and inward worship, as well as by publick and externall worship? |
| A59693 | Will 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? |
| A59693 | Would we know whether it was sanctified for that end? |
| A59693 | Would we know whether this time was spent in holy Duties and Sabbath services? |
| A59693 | Would we know whether''t is the Christian Sabbath Day? |
| A59693 | and being askt, if that should be so when should his son raigne? |
| A59693 | and 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? |
| A59693 | and how long he was risen before, who can determine? |
| A59693 | and if it did not lie only in that Seventh, wherein then did it more generally lie? |
| A59693 | and if so, why then should any ask pardon of it, or mourn under it? |
| A59693 | and is not the Sabbath one of those Commandments, the breach of which is accounted the breaking of all? |
| A59693 | and is this the end and fruit of Christs death too? |
| A59693 | and must the new light of these times be the dreames and visions and slaverings of doting and deluded old Monks? |
| A59693 | and no part of his rest, unlesse it was in respect of cessation therein from actions of naturall life? |
| A59693 | and shall the Ministers( not of the letter but of the Spirit) refuse to begin here? |
| A59693 | and so introduce Will- Worship, and to serve God after the tradition of men which God abhors? |
| A59693 | and speciall communion with God therein, as great numbers and troops of people? |
| A59693 | and that it is a part of Christian weaknes to observe any day under the Gospel? |
| A59693 | and that where sin abounds, grace abounds; to whom? |
| A59693 | and therefore why should any other Lords Day be dreamed of? |
| A59693 | and was not this done for our imitation? |
| A59693 | and what is his will, but the will of his commandment? |
| A59693 | and what one Scripture is there in the N. Testament declaring expressely that the Lords day is substituted and put in its roome? |
| A59693 | and which God hath appointed( without limitation to any hour) to be the bounds of the Sabbath as it sooner or later rises or sets? |
| A59693 | and why may not men riding upon white Horses be typicall, because Christ is so resembled? |
| A59693 | and will you now weary the Lord againe, that he can not have rest or quiet for you one day in a Weeke? |
| A59693 | because there is no marriage nor dressing of gardens, nor weeks, nor reckonings of day and night in heaven? |
| A59693 | because they are sinners and because they see themselves sinners? |
| A59693 | but doth it hence follow that the Sabbath was to end at midnight? |
| A59693 | but how? |
| A59693 | but what doctrine is more cross ● to the Spirit of grace in Gospel times, then this? |
| A59693 | but where will they finde the like for the word blessed also? |
| A59693 | but whether they belong to sinners immediately as sinners? |
| A59693 | but will it follow hence that this Morning is the time of midnight? |
| A59693 | can any say that the story is apparently false, unlesse we imagine a Prolepsis? |
| A59693 | did God limit them to the rising or setting sun of Iudaea only? |
| A59693 | did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this City? |
| A59693 | do you thus make the daies of your rest and joy, the daies of the Lords sorrow and trouble? |
| A59693 | do you thus weary the Lord when he gives rest unto you? |
| A59693 | doth 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? |
| A59693 | doth he call you now to Rest in his Bosome, and will you now kick his Bowels, despise this Love, and spit in his Face? |
| A59693 | for if it be no rule to him, how should any thing be sin to him? |
| A59693 | hast thou kept the Lords Day? |
| A59693 | he will lead( it s said) unto all truth, Iohn 16.13 But what truth will he guide us into? |
| A59693 | how easily a thing is it thus to abuse all the Scripture? |
| A59693 | if its dignity be not equall with the rest ▪ Why hath it been exalted so high in equall glory with them? |
| A59693 | immediatly? |
| A59693 | is it not expresly said that he set the Levites to keep the Gates to sanctifie the Sabbath day? |
| A59693 | is it not expresly said, that he set his servants at these Gates that there might be no burden brought in upon the Sabbath day? |
| A59693 | is there no inherent grace in a beleever that no inherent sanctification can be a true evidence? |
| A59693 | may not man begin the day at such a season as may not be beautifull? |
| A59693 | might it not be after midnight as well? |
| A59693 | might not the Iewes be in a Gentile City for a time without any Synagogue? |
| A59693 | nay must not the time and day of our rest be varied, because the ground of Gods rest in a new work is changed? |
| A59693 | not whether they are merited by Christs death, and offered out of his rich grace immediately to sinners? |
| A59693 | or 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? |
| A59693 | or 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? |
| A59693 | or was it meet for him so to do? |
| A59693 | out of which he could gather three hundred fighting men to pursue five mighty Princes in battell? |
| A59693 | shall he therefore reject it as a doubtfull evidence; which is ever clear enough in it self, though not alway to our discerning? |
| A59693 | so was this of the Sabbath also: Why hath it the same honour, if it be not of the same nature with the rest? |
| A59693 | that God loves him, and that Christ hath died for him while he is a sinner, and as he is a sinner? |
| A59693 | that they being taught of the Spirit, did not need that any man should teach them; what then? |
| A59693 | then 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? |
| A59693 | there being no example which God sets before us, but it supposeth a rule binding us immediatly therunto? |
| A59693 | was it in a day more largely or in a Seventh day more narrowly? |
| A59693 | was it not by cleaving to the written word? |
| A59693 | was 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? |
| A59693 | was it not this, because it was written of them that so they should doe? |
| A59693 | was it not, because this was the first Commandment with promise? |
| A59693 | was put to death; what for gathering of sticks onely? |
| A59693 | was their teaching therefore immediate? |
| A59693 | were not the mariners of the men of Iudah bound to observe the Seventh day in all the severall coasts where they made their voyages? |
| A59693 | what colour is there to think thus of them? |
| A59693 | what could stop them herein, but onely the conscience of the Commandment, which began the Sabbath that evening? |
| A59693 | what doctrine more crosse to the example of holy men then this? |
| A59693 | what shall we thinke the Lord expects upon this day which is morall? |
| A59693 | where is my honour? |
| A59693 | whether they that plead for a Seventh of Gods appointing, or they that plead for a day( but God knowes when) of humane institution? |
| A59693 | who shall then seperate us from Gods love? |
| A59693 | why did David and Christ Iesus delight to doe Gods will? |
| A59693 | why may it not then in other respects put on the name of a seventh day also? |
| A59693 | why may not sanctification then( whereby we are set free from the power of sin) be a sure and certain evidence of our actuall justification? |
| A59693 | why may not the Spirit of God who works it in a person justified, first reveal it as an evidence that he is justified? |
| A59693 | why should Master Brabourne imagine that this day might be some superstitious Easter Day, which happens once a yeer? |
| A59693 | why should we think that the Lord is lesse carefull about the beginning of his Sabbath? |
| A59693 | why then should sanctification be excluded as a doubtfull evidence, because sometime it is, and at other times not discerned? |
| A59693 | will he say because all dayes are equally holy, and good by creation? |
| A59693 | with meet preparation for them, delight in them, with wonderment and thankfulnesse to God after the enjoyment of them? |
| A59693 | yet had he power to do thus in all places where he came? |
