but all through my whole life I am to keepe a perpetuall sabboth vnto the Lord from sinne loosing the bands of wickednesse and applying my selfe wholy to holinesse so more especially and strictly on this day wherein that I may obserue it according to the word I may not 1. Doe mine owne waies 2. Finde mine owne pleasures 3. Speake mine owne words Es 58.13 As he hath ordained that instituted the sabboth 2. The forbidding part We must take heede of prophaning the Sabbaoth The things forbidden in this precept are 1. The foreslowing of the assēbling of our selues in the congregation 2. The doing of our ordinary works 3. The doing of the workes of the flesh and of the diuell For 1. This day is an holy cōuocation that we should humble our selues Num. 10.7 Melius est arare quam sal tare in sabbatho 2. Are there not sixe daies to labour 3. It is better to plough then to play on the sabbath Vse 1. Let such men therfore here aduise themselues that neuer take care to set their feete within the court of the Lords house to come into his presence nor to visit his holy temple how they will one day answer their negligence to this law giuer who hath giuen so strickt a charge with a memorandum that we should singularly reard and reuerence 1. The day of his worship to hallow it 2. The place of his worship to come vnto it 3. The parts of his worship to performe it That they frō henceforth faile not in these duties 2. Let such men here consider how vnthankfully how vniustly they deale with God who as hee is the Lord of flesh so also is the Lord of al daies that of seauen daies which the Lord hath made cannot be content with sixe that are giuen vnto them to bestow them on themselues but they must needes also incroach on that one which the Lord hath chosen and set apart for himselfe and like the vxorious Dauid in the plurality of his wiues not satisfied with his owne store taking vnto him by violence Vriahs owne little lambe 2. Sam. 12.2 the onely wife of his bosome so vse this as their owne which the Lord hath called his hauing therein 1. Their hearts ful of the cares of this life 2. Their mouthes of the talke of earthly matters 3. Their hands of the affaires and businesses of this world That henceforth they pollute not the Lords sabbath 3. Let such men here bethinke themselues of their prophanenesse whether it be not damnable who being inioyned all their life time to keepe a continuall sabbath or rest from sinne will not euen on this day breake off their sinne but as it were to despight the almighty by so much the more runne riot on this day by how much the Lord of the day hath the more diligently forbidden the prophaning of the day more eagerly on this day then at other times pursuing and seeking after 1. Wicked societies 2. Vaine delights and 3. Fleshly pleasures That hēceforth they make not this the Lords day a day of sin 3. The Appendix A reason drawne from the example of God 1. Who rested that day 2. Who blessed that day 3. Who sanctified that day For 1. He made no moe new kinde of creatures after the sixt 2.

His place is most high 2. His example most perfect 3. His actions most renowmed And therefore worthy is hee of our chiefe respect 2. If hee that instituted this sabbath hath blessed this sabbath then will he vndoubtedly also blesse vs if we keepe this sabbath for ordering it aright vnto its ends and applying our selues to that which is required on that day we shal surely finde from the Lord thereon 1. A blessing on our hearing 2. A blessing on our power 3. A b esing on the breaking of the bread And therefore good it is that we make it our delight 3. If Peter Act. 11.9 might not call that common which the Lord had clensed how much lesse may we make that common which the Lord hath hallowed and set apart abusing it to labor idlenesse or prophanenesse when hee appointed it vnto these ends 1. That it might bee the solemne time of his worship 2. That it might shadow out vnto vs the euerlasting rest 3. That it might serue for a remission of labour to vs our seruants cattell c.

This is an honest thing and acceptable before God 1 Tim. 54. 3. This will be as refreshing vnto them from the face of the most high Now then Vse 1. As the inferior is here taught his duty to obey them that are set ouer him of the Lord in all things in the Lord so is the superior also shewed his which is that he command gouerne only in the Lord for although it be simply euill not to obey the precept yet it is not alwaies euill namely when the ruler commands those things which are contrary to God for then it is better to obey God then men and to say with Augustine giue leaue O Caesar giue leaue O Father Ruler and such like 1. Thou thr●atenest thine indignation displeasure God his wrath 2. Thou threatenest losse of goods and substance God of all good things 3. Thou threatenest band and prison God hell Whether is now more to bee feared say you God or man 2 As faithfulnesse and thankfulnesse is here required of children so are the Parents also minded of their care that in the education gouernement and prouision for those of their charge they doe that which is thank-worthy for although it be required of inferiors that they doe their duties no what the lesse though their Superiors be froward vnworthy yet if hee that is in place of excellency doe first neglect his duety and then hee that is vnder gouernement doe come likewise short of his 1.
