Ahnentafel - Generation 9

Generation 9 contains 256 people, but we don't know who all of them are.  Drop out will continue.  The New England families will be in pretty good shape.  The Butler line shrinks in this generation.  The Gurley & Colclasure lines stay fairly steady.  Brick walls will become more numerous. 

Lathrop line is represented in numbers 256 to 313
Butler line is represented in numbers 324 to 374
Gurley line is represented in numbers 416 to 447
Colclasure line is represented in numbers 448 to 503

Research Log

The First Principles of the Doctrine of Christ; Together with Stronger Meat for them that are skil’d in the Word of Righteousness OR The Doctrine of living unto God, wherein the Body of Divinity Is Briefly and methodically handled by way of Question and Answer. continued:

Quest. How do you prove this in the second place that the seventh day since Christ's Resurrection ought not to be kept for a Sabbath?

Answ. Because to keep the seventh day of the week was the doctrine of false Teachers, and is contrary to the doctrine and practice of the Apostles of Christ, who did advance the first day of the week above any other day.

In the Gal. 4.10 the Apostle reproved the false Teachers for teaching the Galatians to observe dayes, Moneths, and years, according to the Law of Moses, by dayes is meant that which is less then Moneths, and therefore to be understood of weekly Sabbaths, and yet not of the Christian Sabbath; for those Teachers stood for that which is according to Moses his Ministry, and in Col. 2.16 the Apostle condemns holy dayes, new Moons, and Sabbaths.  Holy dayes are mentioned as greater then new Moons, and therefore are meant of Annual Sabbatical dayes, and Sabbath dayes as less then new Moons, and therefore to be understood of the weekly Sabbaths the Jews kept. 

And that the Apostles did advance the first day of the week to be the Christian Sabbath, will appear in the next place.
