Of the morality of the fourth commandment as still in force to bind Christians…Of the morality of the fourth commandement as still in force to binde Christians…

we have heard that his father before his death commended him to the Patronage of King James, who accordingly had him attending in his Court somewhile with intent to prefer him: until on a sudden his mind was changed, having received intelligence, that this Gentleman plaid false with him, living in his Court but as an espy and intelligencer, to discover what he could of his Majesties affairs unto Queen mother of France; which moved King James ever after, and that most justly, to abominate him. Now such a one, if he could not prove true and loyal unto his natural Prince, can it be expected, he being of a popish spirit, should carry himself truly and honestly towards John Calvin? But sure it is (in this Prefacers judgement) that Calvin took the Lords Day to be an Ecclesiastical and humane constitution, only appointed by our Ancestors to supply the place of the Jewish Sabbath, and as our Doctor tells us alterable by the Church at this present time as first it was, when from the Saturday they translated it unto the Sunday. For proof here of this Prefacer allegeth nothing but that out of Calvin, where he saith, Veteres subrogarunt diem dominicum in locum Sabbati; The Ancients subrogated the Lords Day in place of the Sabbath: But he takes no notice of that which immediately follows in Calvin; as a reason of the former thus; For whereas in the Lords Resurrection is found the end, and accomplishment of the true rest, which the ancient Sabbath shadowed, by the very day which set an end to shadows, Christians are admonished not to stick unto the shadowing ceremony. Where observe, First, as touching the persons noted by Veteres the Ancients, first; and then by Christiani Christians. Are not these the Apostles as much as any other? and they in the first place, as we best knew what that was, which did set an end to shadows; and accordingly to give notice of the pregnant signification of the Day of the Lords Resurrection? and therefore, 1 Cor. 16. 2. He doth entirely refer this to the Apostles, as whom he confesseth, constrained by the Jewish superstition to have abrogated the Sabbath, and in the place thereof ordained the Lords Day. Secondly observe that the accomplishment of ⟨p. 40⟩that which was signified by the Jewish Sabbath he ascribes to the Resurrection.

wee have heard that his father before his death commended him to the Patronage of King Iames, who accordingly had him attending in his Court somewhile with intent to preserre him: untill on a sodaine his minde was changed, having receaved intelligence, that this Gentleman playd false with him, living in his Court but as an espie and intelligencer, to discover what he could of his Majesties affayres unto Queene mother of France; which mooved King Iames ever after, and that most justly, to abominate him. Now such a one, if he could not proove true and loyall unto his naturall Prince, can it bee expected, hee being of a popish spirit, should carry himselfe truely and honestly towards Iohn Calvin? But sure it is (in this Prefacers judgement) that Calvin tooke the Lords Day to be an Ecclesiasticall and humane constitution, only appointed by our Ancestors to supply the place of the Iewish Sabbath, and as our Doctor tells us alterable by the Church at this present time as first it was, when from the Saturday they translated it unto the Sunday. For proofe here of this Prefacer alleageth nothing but that out of Calvin, where he saith, Veteres subrogarunt diem dominicum in locum Sabbati; The Ancients subrogated the Lords Day in place of the Sabbath: But he takes no notice of that which immediately followes in Calvin; as a reason of the former thus; For whereas in the Lords Resurrection is found the end, and accomplishment of the true rest, which the ancient Sabbath shaddowed, by the very day which set an end to shadowes, Christians are admonished not to stick unto the shadowing ceremonie.
