Puritan Sabbatarianism
Puritan Sabbatarianism〔 or Reformed Sabbatarianism, often just Sabbatarianism, is observance of Sabbath in Christianity that is typically characterised by devotion of the entire day to worship, and consequently the avoidance of recreational activities. Unlike seventh-day Sabbatarians, Puritan Sabbatarians keep Sunday as Sabbath, calling it the Lord's Day. ''Puritan Sabbath'', expressed in the ''Westminster Confession of Faith'', is often contrasted with ''Continental Sabbath'': the latter follows the Continental Reformed confessions such as the ''Heidelberg Catechism'', which emphasise rest and worship on the Lord's Day, but do not forbid recreational activities.〔Heidelberg Catechism, Q & A 103.〕 However, John Calvin believed Christians were commanded to avoid recreation as well as work on Sunday in order to devote the day to worship,〔 and during the seventeenth century there was consensus among continental as well as British Reformed theologians that the entire Sabbath was to be set aside for worship.〔
==Origins==
While John Calvin's theology of the fourth commandment differed from that of the Puritans, he believed that Christians were commanded to cease from labor and recreation in order to devote the entire day to worship. The Genevan Consistory during the time of Calvin regularly interviewed people for working or engaging in recreation considered inappropriate for spiritual refreshment such as hunting, dancing, banqueting, playing tennis or billiards, or bowling skittles on Sundays.
During the Vestiarian controversy, Reformers were spurred to develop the regulative principle of worship, a fundamental article that no corporate worship is permissible that does not have the sanction of Scripture, whether stated explicitly, or derived by a necessary deduction from Scripture. By the 17th century, Puritans had applied the regulative principle to devote first-day Sabbath entirely to God, indulging in neither the labors nor the recreations common to the other six days.〔
