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

Age imployed in the Service of Idols yet the Institution of the Calling it self and the Publick Maintenance annex'd thereto was truly Patriarchal as appears 4thly From Cain and Abel bringing their Oblations Gen. 4. 3. And it came to pass that in process of time Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an Offering unto the Lord c. Where I note 1. That they brought their Oblations to Adam who was Priest that he might offer them to God as the Hebrew Doctors teach saith P. Fagius And the Text makes for this for it is not said that they themselves offered them but that they brought them to be offered to the Lord that is by the hands of Adam the Priest of the Lord. 2. That they brought them to the Place appointed for Prayer as Aben Ezra observes from whence it may be infer'd that they met together to worship God in a Place destined thereunto and that there were always Solemn Meetings of Pious Men for the Worship of God and from Cain's not having that due reverence to this Sacred Assembly which he ought to have had the Hebrew Doctors conclude That he who has not a due regard to Church-Assemblies shall have no part in the Age to come P. Fagius And that those Oblations of Cain and Abel were offer'd in a Publick Assembly is apparent from the dejection of Cain's Countenance upon Gods rejecting his Offering for if God had declared his acceptance of Abel's Offering before Cain's only in private to his own Conscience what offence could Cain have taken thereat Nay if God by some visible token of his displeasure had not shamed him before the Assembly he would have been no more affected with a private Check then he was with that which God gave him afterwards notwithstanding which he slew his Brother besides the Apostle's Expression is a confirmation of this Heb. 11. 4. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God testifying of his Gift for to what purpose is giving his Testimony if it be not in publick Hereunto assent the most Judicious Divines who conceive that God gave open Testimony of his acceptance of Abel's Offering by consuming it with Fire sent down from Heaven so Fagius Lyra c. so almost all the Fathers says Mede Turinus c. and Ainsworth observes that it was usual for God to declare his acceptance of Mens Offerings or rejecting of them the first by sending Fire from Heaven to consume them to ashes the other by leaving the Sacrifice untouch't We have Instances of the first Levit. 9. 24. when Aaron made the first Oblation 1. Chron. 21. 26. when David Sacrificed on the Threshing-Floor of Ornon 2 Chron. 7. 1. when Solomon Dedicated the Temple And of both 1 Kings 18. in the Contest betwixt Gods Prophets and Baals And in this Case of Cain and Abel where Cain's Sacrifice was not toucht by that Fire that consumed Abel's See Mede Turinus c. See Viccars his Decupla Psal 20. 4. Nay some Hebrew Doctors saith Fagius tells us that in that Fire falling from Heaven and consuming those Sacrifices that God accepted there was the appearance of the Face of a Lion God thereby signifying that Mens Persons and Oblations are acceptable to Him only through Christ that Lion of the Tribe of Judah See Fagius 3. The third Observation I make from this Text is That Cain and Abel had Families and Substance distinct from Adam's for Abel is commended for bringing the Firstlings and Fat of the Flock but it would have been no thanks to him to have cut large shives out of his Fathers Loaf Which is another argument that this was a Publick Church-Assembly consisting of many Families 4. The fourth and last Note I make upon this Text is this Seeing Cain's Oblation was not consumed by Fire which way could it be disposed of but to the use of the Priest that officiated For it having been once dedicated to God could not be alienated without Sacriledge and therefore must fall to the Portion of him that served at the Altar that he might live of the Altar having nothing else of the Altar to live upon but the Remainder of Oblations of the Fruit of the Ground Seeing all Oblations of Beasts and Fowl were whole Burnt-Offerings and therefore by the way it is a vain Question to ask what became of the Remainder of such Sacrifices and seeing also that Man was then confin'd to the Fruit of the Ground for his Food To conclude we see the Patriarchs had stated Publick Religious Assemblies Celebrated in Stated Places separate to that use and guided by Persons separate by Special Calling to that Work and maintained by Tithes Oblations c. Now it is against all Reason to think that the Faithful paid Tithes to their Priests upon any other account than that of their Sowing Spirituals in the Assemblies of the Faithful whose Temporals they reaped CHAP. II. The Patriarchs had Solemn Set Times for these Publick Ministers to Officiate in those Publick Assemblies THough this be sufficiently evident from the Premises for it is not conceivable how such Assemblies could meet if they had not Stated Times when to meet yet I shall offer these things for the proof of it 1. It is agreed on all hands that Ketz the word used Gen. 4. 3. At the end of Days signifies a precise fixt and certain end Whereupon saith Paul Fagius I am altogether pleased with this Opinion that this Text be understood to speak of a Certain and Stated Time of Divine Worship The Learned indeed dispute what stated Time is here meant Annual Monthly or Weekly but that a Stated Time for Religious Assemblies is here meant is I think consented to by all at least by Silence 2dly Gen. 1. 14. God Created the two great Luminaries to be Lemognadim for Appointed Seasons of Holy Assemblies ad Statas Solemnitates Let them be for stated Solemnities that being the proper signification of the Hebrew word in the Opinion of some Hebrew Doctors who therefore put this sense upon Psal 104. 19. He hath appointed the Moon for certain Seasons this is meant of the New-Moon and Festivals by some of our Doctors saith Aben Ezra in Psal 104. 19. And the Learned and Judicious Mede reflecting upon this word in both the Texts of Gen. and Psalms observeth that Festivals are pointed out by Course of the Moon Certum est pleraque Festorum ad Lunae motum descripta fuisse As New-Moons the Passover Pentecost Feast of Tabernacles And as the Moveable Feasts attend the motion of the Moon so the Immoveable follow the Course of the Sun It will be replyed perhaps that Moses wrote this by Anticipation and that his meaning is that after the giving of the Law these great Luminaries should be for pointing out Solemn Seasons But that in the Interval of above two thousand years they should serve only to direct men to the proper seasons for Planting Plowing Sowing Reaping Cutting of Timber c. as it is absurd of it self so it will be
