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. Written in Latin by Zacharias Ursinus, sometimes reader of the divinity lecture in the University of Heidelberg in Germany, and very newly turned into English, by John Stockwood schoolmaster of Tunbridge.A verie profitable and necessarie discourse concerning the obseruation and keeping of the Sabboth day seruing as well to confute the superstition of the Iewes, which obstinately vrge the strict keeping of the seuenth day, as also to ouerthrowe the vaine and godlesse reasons of others, that stiffely at this day maintaine, that Christians ought to keepe no set or appoynted time to worship and serue the Lord in, in his church and faithfull congregation.

To minister the Sacraments according unto the ordinance of God. And as doctrine, so also the administration of the Sacraments is not tied unto those days, in which the meetings of the Church are ⟨image 23⟩made, but it is sufficient concerning the public ministration, if it be done by the ministers of the church, as those which do represent a public person, and room of God in the ministry speaking unto men, and that those things be done in the assemblies of the Church, the which God hath tied unto the ministers. So circumcision was ministered at any day which was the eight day after the birth of the child: so baptism may be ministered on any day. Act 8. &. 10. Yet the ministering of the Sacrament ought especially to be used on the Sabbath day. And therefore Numb 28. and. 29. besides the daily sacrifices, there are also set forth certain sacrifices which ought to be used on the Sabbath, and other holy days And Christ in such sort ordained his supper, as the which among other ends, ought also to be the sinew of the Congregation of the church, that it might be ministered either in a small or great assembly of the Church.
