* Description: Published in 1650, The doctrine of the fourth commandment as deformed by popery was condemned by British parliament as Scandalous, Profane, and Erroneous and all copies were ordered to be burned. One copy escaped and has been kept safe ever since. Its author John Ockford was stripped of his liberty and was subject to persecution and imprisonment. His work has survived though as a testament to God's commandment keeping remnant throughout all ages.
Author's description: "Wherein is clearely proved by Scripture, Arguments, and Reasons, that the Seventh day of the week, and not the first, viz. the day called Saturday [and not the day called Sunday] is the true Christian Sabbath, the time Instituted and commanded by God him­self, for the day, or time, of his publique wor­ship, in the time of the Gospel, as it was in the time of the Law. Objections answered, and the truth cleared, by Gods unworthy Servant, J. O."
