A very profitable and necessary discourse concerning the observation and keeping of the Sabbath day serving as well to confute the superstition of the Jews, which obstinately urge the strict keeping of the seventh day, as also to overthrow the vain and godless reasons of others, that stiffly at this day maintain, that Christians ought to keep no set or appointed time to worship and serve the Lord in, in his church and faithful congregation.

A RIGHT GODlie and learned exposition vpon the fourth Commandement, concerning the Sabboth, and right vse of the same.
The fourth Commandment. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. Six days shalt thou work, and do all thy work: but the seventh day there shall be a Sabbath unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt do no work, neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maid, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger which is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven, earth, the sea, and whatsoever are in them, and rested the seventh day, and therefore he blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
