on such things and at such times as might carry the greatest shew of being exempted as namely 1 Gathering of Manna d when they were fed but from hand to mouth as they say 2 Making of the Tabernacle e thogh it were the place wherein the Lord should be served 3 Working in harvest time f yea though it commeth but once a yeare and for mans life is most necessary 4 Keeping of faires and markets g carrying of things to be sold and selling of victualls there though then indeed much might be gained As it appeareth by the manifolde Commandements both generall and speciall for the Sabbaoth what manner of rest it is that must be kept so also is it made evident by the vrging and repeating of the word so often in so manie words and so particularly as we have seene before in Exod. 16.23 c. which rest thus vrged is two fold 1 Outward and of the whole body and that is two fold 1 From doing any of the foresaid things forbidden by speciall commaund or other workes whatsoever we vse or may doe lawfully on the sixe daies and they be of two sorts 1 Works of our Vocation And therefore it is not lawfull on the Sabbaoth day for Carriers to travell with their carriages h for Schoolemaisters to teach or studie humanitie for Physitians to reade bookes of surgery or physicke for Lawyers to studie the case peruse evidences c. nor for Iudges and Iustices to ride their circuites or sit in iudgement because all these are the ordinarie duties of their vocation which belong to the sixe daies except in cases excepted in the next chapter 2 Works of our Recreation yea though they be honest and at other times lawfull For 1 If the duties of our vocation without which a Common-wealth cannot stand must cease when we should attend vppon the Lordes worke much more must our pleasures cease without which men may continue though not well 2 As the works of our recreation are lesse needefull than those of our vocation so they doe more hinder vs from the sanctifying of the Sabbaoth by reason of the excessive delight which our corrupt nature doth take in them 2 From speaking and hearing of worldly businesse and that for two causes 1 Because much talking and hearing of worldly businesse doe as much hinder the sanctifying of the Sabboth as much working doe for 1 We may worke alone we cannot talke but with others and so wee hinder both our selves and others too 2 Our mindes cannot be set wholly vpon the worship and service of God as they should and at the same time be talking and hearing of i worldly matters 2 Because this Commandement must be no more restrained then the other And therefore vaine wordes and worldly speeches are heer also forbidden k as well as profane speeches in the first as naming of false gods in the second as vaine othes in the third as contemptuous speeches in the fift as railing wordes in the sixt as filthy words in the seventh as covetous speeches in the eight slandrous words in the ninth 2 Inward and of the minde viz. from studying and th●● ●●th day worldly matters and great 〈◊〉 there is so to beleeve For 1 The whole law was given to the whole man 2 The creation redemption and preservation to the glorification both of body and soule do bind vs to obey God both in bodie and minde 3 The law cannot else be perfect and absolute like the Law-giver who as he is a spirit so hee will be served in spirit and mind 4 Except our mindes be emptied of all worldly affaires there can be no roome for heavenly meditations to dwell in 5 The very end why we dispatch our hands of our businesse is that our mindes might not be disturbed with them THE PROOFES a Exod. 16.23 To morrow is the rest of the holy Sabboth vnto the Lord and chapter 〈…〉 daies shall men worke but the 〈…〉 day is the Sabbaoth of the holy rest vnto the Lord whosoever doth any worke in the Sabbaoth day shall die the death and 35.2 as before b Exod. 20.10 But the seventh day is the Sabbaoth of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke c. c Exod. 31.14 Hee that defileth it meaning the Sabbaoth shall die the death Therefore whosoever worketh therein the same person shall be even cut off from among his people Ier. 17.27 But if yee will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbaoth day and not to beare a burden nor to goe through the gates of Ierusalem on the Sabbaoth day then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof and it shall devoure the pallaces of Ierusalem and shall not be quenched d Exod. 16.26 Six daies shall ye gather it but in the seventh day is the Sabbaoth in it there shall be none 27. Notwithstanding there went out some on the seventh day to gather but they found none 28. And the Lord said vnto Moses How long refuse yee to keepe my Commandements and my lawes 29. Behold how the Lord hath given you the Sabbaoth therefore hee giveth you the sixth day bread for two daies tarry therefore everie man in his place let no man goe out of his place the seventh day 30. So the people rested the seventh day c Exod. 31.12 Afterward the Lord spake vnto Moses saying 13. Speake thou also vnto the children of Israel saying Notwithstanding keepe yee my Sabbaoths for it is a signe betweene me and you c. f Exo. 34.21 Six daies thou shalt worke and in the seventh day thou shalt rest both in earing time and in the harvest thou shalt rest g Nehe. 13.15 In those daies saw I in Iudah those that trode wine presses on the Sabbaoth day and which brought in sheaves and laded Asses also with wine grapes and figges and all burthens and brought them into Ierusalem on the Sabbaoth day and I protested to them in the day that they sold victualls 16. There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein which brought fish and all wares and sold on the Sabbaoth day vnto the children of Iudah even in Ierusalem 19. And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbaoth I commanded to shut the gates and charged that they should not be opened vntill after the Sabbaoth c. h Ier. 17.21 Thus saith the Lord Take heede to your soules and beare no burden in the Sabbaoth day nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem 22. Neither carry forth burdens out of your houses on the Sabbaoth day i Math. 6.24 No man can serve two masters k Esa 58.13 If thou turne away thy foote from the Sabbaoth from doing thy will on my holy day and call the Sabbaoth a delight to consecrate it as glorious to the Lord and shall honour him not doing thy own waies nor seeking thine owne will nor speaking a vaine word then shalt thou delight in the Lord c.
