[Christian caveat to the old and new sabbatarians. Or, A vindication of our Gospel-festivals]
A Chrisian [sic] caveat to the old and new sabbatarians· Or, A vindication of our Gospel-festivals. |b Wherein is held forth, I. That the feast of Christs nativity is grounded upon the Scriptures; was observed in the pure, antient, apostolique times, and is approved by all reformed churches. II. That Christ was borne on the 25th. day of December; and all objections to the contrary refuted. III. That the keeping holy the Lords Day was appointed by the Christian Church; and that the morality, and divine institution of the Lords Day are mere fictions. IV. That the day of Christs nativity, the day of His passion, and the like, have equall authority, equall antiquity, equall right to be observed as the Lords Day, and that to work on those dayes is equally sinfull. V. That the observation of the Sabbath Day is abolished in Christ; and that to call the Lords Day th Sabbath, is senslesse, Jewish, unchristian, unwarrantable. The fifth edition.
