Dr Downame holdeth that we are commanded, in the fourth commandment, to keep the feasts of Christ’s nativity, passion, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost, and that these feasts are to be consecrated as sabbaths to the Lord.
Dr Downame groundeth the lawfulness of them on the law of God, making the observation of the sabbaths of rest appointed by the church, such as the feasts of Christ’s nativity, passion, &c., to be a duty commanded in the law of God, and the not observing of them to be a thing forbidden by the same law.
Secondly, He giveth us this difference, that the Lord’s day is observed as the Sabbath of Jehovah, and as a day whereon God himself did rest after the creation. Ans. 1. This is false of the Lord’s day; for after the creation, God rested upon the seventh day, not upon the first. 2. Dr Downame saith, that festival days also are to be consecrated as Sabbaths to the Lord.
Yea, bishops themselves exercise not any jurisdiction in the High Commission as bishops, but only as the king’s commissioners, as Dr Downame acknowledgeth. The assumption is grounded upon this reason: The king hath not power to depose ministers; therefore he cannot give this power to others.
