The doctrine of the Church of England concerning the Lords Day, or Sunday-Sabbath, as it is laid down in the liturgy, catechism, & Book of homilies; : vindicated from the vulgar errors of modern writers, and setled upon the only proper and sure basis of Gods precept to Adam, and patriarchal practice. Wherein an essay is laid down, to prove that the patriarchal Sabbath, instituted, Gen. 2. 3. celebrated by the patriarchs before the Mosaick law, and pronounced with the other nine precepts of the Decalogue from Gods own mouth, Ex. 20th, writ by Gods finger in stone, deposited in the Ark of the everlasting Covenant, under the inspection of Cherubims, till the rending of the vail, was the same day of the week, viz. Sunday, which Christians observe in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world, bythe redemption of mankind, celebrated by the patriarchs in hope of their resurrection by vertue of Christs future resurrection on that day..
