Rom. 3.20 Errour it is to the Jewes or any else that expect to receive Righteousnesse by or for their obedience thereto But I presse men to the obedience of it because men cannot be saved without obedience to it in some measure through faith Matth. 5.19 Chap. 19.17 1 Cor. 7.19 But I doe beleeve in my heart and confesse with my mouth that justification to salvation is freely bestowed on the Beleever wholy undeserved It is not of workes but by Grace through Faith that men are saved and not of our selves it is the gift of God Ephes 2.8 2 Tim. 1.9 The Gospel published by Jesus Christ brought not a new way of Righteousnesse and Salvation into the World which was not spoken of or taught before in the Law and Prophets John 5.46 47. Acts 26.22 * See Beza in his Margent on Mat. 5.17 But it is a fuller manifestation of that which was contained in the Law and Prophets so that our conformitie to the Decalogue is not destructive or prejudiciall to our obedience to the Gospel but highly advanceth it For the Law is not against the Promise of God Gal. 3.21 Neither is the Gospel contrary to the Law for the preaching of faith doth establish it Rom. 3.31 Yea such is the Vnion betweene the Law and the Gospel that the same words which Moses used to command obedience to God by the Law in the time of the Law Deut. 6.5 the same words our Saviour useth in the Gospel to command obedience to God according to the Law Mat. 22 37. Yea such Union and communion there is between the Law and the Gospel that as Moses sendeth us to be instructed by Christ Deut. 18.15 Acts 3.22 Even so Jesus Christ sendeth us to be instructed by Moses John 5.39.46.47 Luke 16.29.31 Mat. 7.12 It being so it followeth that seeing by the Law me●●re commanded to keepe a holy rest and to abstaine from servile work on the seventh day the Gospel doth not say nay Thou shalt keep a holy rest and abstaine from servile work on the first day of the week Oh no there is no such word therefore sure it is the selfe same Law which commanded men to keep a holy rest on the seventh day in the time of the Law the selfe same Law requireth us to keepe a holy rest on the seventh day in the time of the Gospel Therefore Remember to keepe holy the Sabbath day the day called Saturday the seventh and last day of the weeke for that is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God which he commandeth thee to consecrate to his Service in worshipping him on it in spirit and truth as the Gospel requireth of thee and neglect it not As the Word of God doth manifest the seventh and last day of the weeke to be the Sabbath So doth both Ancient and Moderne Writers confesse it so to be Yea Doctor Hylyn doth affirm in his History of the Sabbath par 2. chap. 2. pag. 62. that when ever for a thousand yeares and upward we meet with Sabbatum in any Writer of what name soever must be understood of no other day then the Saturday And Doctor White on the Sabbath pag. 202. saith when the Ancient Fathers distinguish and give proper names to the particular dayes of the weeke they alwayes stile the Saturday Sabbatum to wit the Sabbath c. That the Saturday the last day of the week is the Sabbath day the truth thereof is confessed by all Judicature Courts in England for when they write on the Saturday the last day of the weeke they stile it di●s Sabbathi to wit the Sabbath day At the end of which Sabbath the first day of the week beginneth Mat. 28.1 Mark 16.1 2 which is the day commonly called Sunday which is highly extolled although there is no word of God which commandeth the observation of it as now it is Sure it is we know no other name in Scripture for the seventh day but the Sabbath day neither know we any other name for Sunday but the first day of the week for this see Luke 24.1 John 20.1 Object If it be objected that the seventh day-Sabbath was given to the Jewes only and not to the Gentiles in that the Jewes were charged with the keeping of it in remembrance of their deliverance out of Egypts bondage Deut. 5.15 which the Gentiles were not Ergo I answer It is true they were delivered out of Aegypts bondage through the great mercy of God unto them and thereon were enjoyned to keep the Sabbath as a motive to stir them up to a more devout observation thereof But was it so given to the Jewes that the obedience thereof doth not appertain to us Oh no! there is no Scripture that so saith neither doth it follow that we owe no obedience to it because they were enjoyned to keepe it in remembrance of their deliverance 〈◊〉 of Egypt because then it would follow we are not enjoyned to the obedience of the other nine Commandements neither For on the same ground or consideration they were enjoyned to keep the seventh day-Sabbath upon the same ground they were enjoyned to keep the other 9 Commandements also for this see Exod. 20.2 3. c. Deut. 5.6 chap. 7.8 9 10 11. It being so it followeth If we may not omit our duty to the 9. Commandements of the morall Law we ought not to the fourth Commandement neither Again If men will exempt themselves from the duty of the seventh day-Sabbath because it was given to the Jewes then on the same ground they may exempt themselves from all duties taught by our Saviour on the Mount Mat. 5. chap. 6 chap. 7. and also from all duties taught in the Epistle to the Hebrewes and also from all duties taught by by Saint James in his Epistle on the same ground Now if it be errour to exempt our selves from these and many other heavenly Instructions because they were given to the Jewes then it is errour to exempt our selves from the duty of the fourth Commandement because it was given to the Jewes Object If it be further objected the duty of the seventh day-Sabbath belongeth not to us because our Saviour hath not commanded it to be observed in the Gospel I answer It is an ignorant Cavill against the duty commanded in the fourth Commandement because our Saviour doth as absolutely require obedience of us to the duty of the seventh day-Sabbath inclusively in Mat. 22.37 38.39 as he doth to the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10. Commandements of the morall Law Again If it be a sufficient plea to exempt our selves from the duty of the fourth Commandement because it is not expresly repeated by our Saviour in the Gospel then upon the same consideration we may as well exempt our selves from the duties taught by the 1 2 and 3 Commandements of the same Law for neither of those precepts are in expresse words laid down by our Saviour in the Gospel therefore I say If it be an errour
