  That the true Observation of the Sabbath consisteth not only in abstaining from bodily labors ; And that to a Christian man every day is the Sabbath , and not only the Seventh day .

  A serious and brief discourse touching the Sabbath-Day intended to decide and determine all controversies respecting that subject / by Thomas Cleadon ...

summary:
  2. A second thing to be considered for the right understanding of the Doctrine of the Sabbath , is this , That the Seventh day from the Creation appointed of God to be the Sabbath or day of holy Rest to the people of God before Christs incarnation , being but the positive part of the Fourth Commandment , did cease and end as a holy Sabbath at the time of Christs resurrection from the dead ; the reason is , Because though it was primarily commanded of God to be so observed ; yet afterwards a typical sense and use was by Moses from God added to it ; as Circumcision and the Passover , they were instituted to be the ordinary Sacraments belonging to the Church of the Jews and were both seals of the Covenant of Grace ; the first of Initiation , the other of confirmation and growth ; yet being also used as typical during the legal administration , they both ceased with the Ceremonial Law ; and in the room of them Christ ordained Baptism and the Lords Supper to be the only Sacraments to all Christian Churches in time of the Gospel . But the great work of the Creation God would have to be remembred and honoured by a weekly solemnity , by setting apart and sanctifying the Seventh day from the Creation to be observed in the weekly return of it , as his holy Sabbath , or day of Holy Rest , Gen. 2. 3. And can we reasonably imagine , that Gods Pleasure , Acquiescence and Rest , in raising his Son , his only begotten Son , from the dead , having finished the great work of Redemption , a greater and a more glorious work than that of the Creation , and of a more dear and precious resentment to God the Father ; that yet this wonderful and blessed work , the very admiration of Angels , should not be honoured with a day of remembrance , as frequent , as solemn , as sacred , and by Gods own appointment , as the other was , how can it but seem very strange to a considerate , believing , and redeemed Christian .

  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 .

  A divine tragedie lately acted, or A collection of sundry memorable examples of Gods judgements upon Sabbath-breakers, and other like libertines, in their unlawfull sports, happening within the realme of England, in the compass only of two yeares last past, since the booke was published worthy to be knowne and considered of all men, especially such, who are guilty of the sinne or arch-patrons thereof.

summary:
  I shall therefore confine my selfe only to such domesticke examples , as have fallen out in sundry corners of this our Realme within these two yeares , of purpose to refute the * madnesse of those Prophets , who in the Presse and Pulpit ; and the profanes of those people , who in their dauncing-greenes , and may-pole arbors , have bene so audacious , as to affirme , the Profanation of the Lords day by Maygames , Daunces , May-poles , Wakes , and common Labour out of time of divine Service , ( especially after evening Prayer ) to be no sin at all against the 4. Commandement , or any other Law of God or man ; but c necessary and commendable point of true Christian Liberty ( they should have sayd of carnall and heathenish licentiousnesse rather ) from which the people must not be debarred ; But let these blinde guides , and libertines learne from these examples , to correct this their erronious judgment , and practise ; for feare the Lord make them the next examples in this kinde , to teach others to keepe his Sabbaths better , and more intirely for the future . THese Examples of Gods judgements hereunder set downe , have fallen out within the space of lesse then two yeares last past , even since the Declaration for sports ( tolerated on the Lords day ) was published , and read by many Ministers in their congregations ; for hereupon ill disposed people ( being as dry fewell , to which fire being put , quickly flameth forth ; or as waters , pent up and restrained being let loose , breake forth more furiously ) were so incouraged , if not inraged , as taking liberty dispensed , thereby so provoked God , that his wrath in sundry places , hath broken out to the destruction of many , would to God to the instruction of any .

  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 .

  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 .
