  Certaine queries, proposed by the King, to the Lords and Commons Commisssioners from the Honourable Houses of Parliament, attending his Majesty at Holdenby, the 23 of this instant Aprill, 1647. touching the celebration of the feast of Easter. With an answer thereunto, given and presented to his Majesty by Sir James Harrington Knight and Barronet a Commissioner there.

summary:
  Mat. 5. 20. ) but accompt all such Reformers in our times , blessed also ; but for the keeping of Easter although I know not any Ordinance of Parliament discharging it ; yet with submission to better judgments , I in all dutifulnesse conceive that Your Majesties Reason upon which Your Queery is built , hath a great mistake even in the foundation of it , You being pleased to lay this for a ground that the change of the Sabboth , and the Institution of Easter are by one and the same equall authority and Ecclesiasticall Decree , which with Your Majesties favour I cannot yeild to , for I humbly conceive that the change of the Jewish Sabboth ( the commemoration of the worke of the Creation ) unto the Lords day , the remembrance of that greaterwork ( the worke of Redemption finished upon this day of the Lords Resurrection ) was by no lesse then by Divine authority , because the keeping of one day in seven as a Sabboth to God , was not only sanctified and set a part by Gods own example in the Creation , Gen. 2. ver.

  The doctrine of the Sabbath· Delivered in the Act at Oxon. anno, 1622. By Dr. Prideaux his Majesties professour for divinity in that Vniversity. And now translated into English for the benefit of the common people.

summary:
  For , for the first , that to keepe holy one day of seven , is not the morall part of the fourth Commandement , our Doctor hath delivered in the third Section , that not Tostatus onely , but even Aquinas , and with him all the Schoolemen , have agreed upon it . Nor was there any that opposed it in the Schooles of Rome , that I have met with , till Catharinus tooke up armes against Tostatus : affirming , but with ill successe , that the Commandement of the Sabbath was imposed on Adam in the first Cradle of the world ; there where the Lord is said to blesse the seventh day and sanctifie it . Fifthly , that in the celebration of it , there is no such cessation from the workes of labour required from us , as was exacted of the Iewes ; but that we lawfully may dresse Meat , proportionable unto every mans estate , and doe such other things as be no hinderance to the publike Service appointed for the day , Sect. 8. Sixtly , that on the Lords day all Recreations whatsoever are to be allowed , which honestly may refresh the spirits , and encrease mutuall love and neighbourhood amongst us ; and that the names whereby the Iewes did use to call their Festivals ( whereof the Sabbath was the chiefe ) were borrowed from an Hebrew word , which signifieth to dance , and to be merry , or make glad the countenance .

summary:
  A third reason , why it is not left in mans power to institute the solemne day of Gods worship , his Sabbath day , or to appoint him what proportion of time they please , is , because an indefinite time must either bind to all moments of time , as a debt , when the day of payment is not expresly dated , is liable to payment every moment ; or els it binds to no time at all . For the Commandement is expresse for a certaine day in the weeke , for the Sabbath day ; Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it .

summary:
  First , Because those weighty Reasons which Jehova the Law giver himself hath given to enforce Obedience to his Command , in observing a weekly Sabbath day holy to himself , do properly and only belong , and are applicable to the Seventh day , which is the last day in every Week , in order of time , in the weekly returns of it , as a weekly Sabbath day , and to no other day in the week , Exod. 20.11 .

  The New-Covenant of the gospel distingnished [sic] from the Old Covenant of the law and the rest or sabbath of believers, from the rest or sabbath of the Jews, which differ as much from each other, as the sign and shadow doth from the thing signified and shadowed out : in answer to some queries of W. Salters, tending to enforce upon Christians the observation of the Jewish sabbath ... whereto are added Some considerations propounded to the Jews, tending towards their conversion to that which is the life and spirit of the law / by Isaac Penington ...

summary:
  IF the whole Law of Moses , the Law of the ten Commandments , as well as the Law of Sacrifices , were both added upon one and the same account for transgressions ; Then why doth the holy Spirit in the Scriptures lay forth such an antiphitical use of them ( I suppose he means anti-tipical ) the one that sin might abound , Rom. 5.20 . Whether when Jehovah gave forth the ten Commandements plainly as a Law in the letter he did intend by the observation according to the letter : the breach of them by the Spirit .

  A discourse of the Sabbath and the Lords Day Wherein the difference both in their institution and their due observation is briefly handled. By Christopher Dow, B.D.

summary:
  And for this cause it is ( saith Saint Chrysostome ) that in the giving of this Commandement concerning the Sabbath ( which hee calls a Precept not made knowne to us by our conscience ) God added a reason , as because Ged rested the seventh day from all his worke ; and againe ; because thou wast a servant in Egypt , &c. To which I will onely adde ; that the reason drawn from the example of God , who rested upon the Sabbath day , namely , when the Creation was finished , endured onely till the time of the new Creation in which al things were made new by Christ ; at which time it ceased , or at least , a second reason taken from that new Creation comming in place , the former both reason & day ( become now old ) are passed away , and behold all things are become new .

  Questions about the nature and perpetunity of the seventh-day Sabbath and proof that the first day of the week is the true Christian-sabbath / by John Bunyan.

summary:
  True , it was Gods Sabbath before : for on the first Seventh day we read , that God rested thereon , and sanctified it . And now by our new Law-giver , the Son of God , he being Lord also of the Sabbath-day , we have a time prefixed , as the Law of Nature requireth , a new day , by him who is the Lord of it ; I say , appointed , wherein we may worship , not in the oldness of that Letter written and engraven in Stones , but according to , and most agreeing with , his new and holy Testament .

Sunday, which Christians celebrate in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world by the redemption of mankind.

  A briefe polemicall dissertation, concerning the true time of the inchoation and determination of the Lordsday-Sabbath. Wherein is clearly and irrefragably manifested by Scripture, reason, authorities, in all ages till this present: that the Lordsday begins and ends at evening; and ought to be solemnized from evening to evening: against the novel errours, mistakes of such, who groundlesly assert; that it begins and ends at midnight, or day-breaking; and ought to be sanctified from midnight to midnight, or morning to morning: whose arguments are here examined, refuted as unsound, absurd, frivolous. Compiled in the Tower of London, and now published, for the information, reformation of all contrary judgment or practise. By William Prynne of Swainswick Esq;.

  The doctrine of the Sabbath Wherein the first institution of the vveekly Sabbath, with the time thereof, the nature of the law binding man to keep it, the true ground, and necessity of the first institution, and of the observation of it, on the severall day in the Old Testament, and also of the moving of it to the first day under the Gospel, are laid open and proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Also besides the speciall dueties necessarily required for the due sanctification thereof, those two profitable points are proved by demonstrations out of Gods Word. First, that the Lord Christ God and man, is the Lord of the Sabbath, on whom the Sabbath was first founded...2. That the faithfull under the Gospell are as necessarily bound to keep the weekly Sabbath of the Lords day... Deliverd in divers sermons by George Walker B. of Divinity and pastor of St. Iohn Evangelists Church in London.

summary:
  First , from these words , ( And on the seventh day ) J will observe , and declare the time of the Institution of the weekly Sabba●h , even the very day wherin the first occasion was given for the sanctification of it , and God did first sanctifie it , and commaund that it should be kept holy Secondly , I will shew the true ground and occasion of the institution of it , laid downe in the next words : God ende● his work which he had made , and he rested the seventh day from all his worke which he had made , and God bl●ssed the seventh day . Secondly , the things which gaue God occation to sanctifie the seventh day ; & upon which the first institution of the Sabbath was grounded came not to passe , neither were they in being vntill the seventh day , that is Gods perfecting of the worke and resting from al he work which he had made : the words of the text are very plain On , or in the seven●h day God ended his worke and rested , and because of this resting he blessed and sanctified the seventh day , And therefore the sanctifying of the seventh day which was the institution of the Sabbath , cannot be before the seventh day ; The building could not bee beefore their was ground to build on , neither could the worke goe before the cause and occation of it .
