Nicholas Bownd’s “The Doctrine of the Sabbath: Plainly laid Forth, and Soundly Proved” is a profound treatise on the importance and continuity of the Sabbath for Christians.
尼古拉斯·鲍恩德 (Nicholas Bownd) 的《安息日教义：清晰阐述，确凿证明》是一部关于安息日（the Sabbath）对基督徒的重要性和持续性（continuity）的深刻论著（profound treatise）。
Originally published in 1595, this work has been foundational in shaping the Puritan understanding of the Sabbath as a day set apart for rest and worship, grounded in both the Old and New Testaments.
这部著作最初于1595年出版，在塑造清教徒（Puritan）对安息日的理解方面具有奠基性（foundational）作用，他们将安息日视为分别为圣（set apart）用于休息（rest）和敬拜（worship）的日子，其基础在于旧约和新约。
Bownd emphasizes that the Sabbath is not merely a Jewish institution but a creation ordinance, established by God at the beginning of time for the benefit of all humanity.
鲍恩德强调，安息日不仅是一个犹太人的制度（Jewish institution），而是一个创造的条例（creation ordinance），是上帝在时间之初为全人类的益处所设立的。
He argues that the sanctification of one day in seven is a moral and perpetual commandment that continues to be binding on Christians today.
祂认为，将七日中的一日分别为圣（the sanctification of one day in seven）是一条道德且永久的诫命（a moral and perpetual commandment），至今仍约束（binding on）基督徒。
Through careful exegesis and extensive references to Scripture, Bownd demonstrates that the Sabbath is a divine gift meant to foster spiritual renewal, allowing believers to rest from their labors and focus on worshiping God.
通过仔细的解经（careful exegesis）和广泛的圣经引用（extensive references to Scripture），鲍恩德证明安息日是一份神圣的礼物（a divine gift），旨在培养属灵的更新（foster spiritual renewal），让信徒可以从他们的劳苦中休息（rest from their labors），并专注于敬拜上帝。
One of the book’s compelling aspects is Bownd’s practical application of the Sabbath commandment.

He not only expounds on the theological foundations of the Sabbath but also provides guidance on how it should be observed.

Bownd addresses common objections and misunderstandings, offering a robust defense of the Sabbath’s relevance in the Christian life.

He insists that the proper observance of the Sabbath is crucial for spiritual growth and communal worship, serving as a sign of God’s covenant with His people.
祂坚持认为，正确地遵守安息日对于属灵成长和共同敬拜（communal worship）至关重要（crucial），它是上帝与祂百姓立约的记号（serving as a sign of God’s covenant with His people）。
Bownd’s work is particularly relevant for modern readers who seek to understand the biblical basis for Sabbath observance and its importance in the life of the Church.
鲍恩德的著作对于那些寻求理解安息日遵守的圣经基础（biblical basis for Sabbath observance）及其在教会生活中的重要性的现代读者尤其具有意义（particularly relevant）。
