To those Christians (especially my Neighbours) in the County of Norfolk, who are zealous for the Observation of the Seventh Day Sabbath.

CHAP. I. The occasion of the Discourse, and what moved the Author to it.
CHAP. II. The first Consideration. That God hath no more glory, nor the Souls of Christians any more reall advantage, from the observation of the Seventh day from the Creation, than from the observation of the Lords Day as the Chri∣stian Sabbath; nor can be any pretence of this nature but that of stricter Obedience to the Commandment.
CHAP. III. That God hath no where required of Christians, the observation of the Seventh day. The fourth Commandment, though it requires a Seventh day, and such seventh day as is of Gods ap∣pointment, yet it doth no more require the Seventh, than the first day of the Week.
CHAP. IV. That the Lord Jesus Christ, was Lord of the Sabbath: and had a power as to alter all Laws relating to the acts of Worship, so this Law relating to the solemn time of Wor∣ship.
CHAP. V. That the Lord Jesus Christ in pursuance of his Commission, for establishing the Gospel Church, did alter the Sabbath, from the seventh to the first day of the Week. How this appears.
CHAP. VI. That the Seventh Day is repealed.
CHAP. VII. To insist upon the old Sabbath is to Judaize, and non-communion our selves to all Christi∣an Churches in the World, both in this and former Ages.
CHAP. VIII. That for any to deprive themselves of the liberty God hath indulged us to labour six dayes in each week, is not without guilt.
An Exhortation to the more strict obser∣vation of the Sabbath, where are Di∣rections, and motives to that great piece of our duty.
