13._o psal_n 134._o 3._o psal_n 147._o 13._o object_n you_o seem_v to_o apply_v god_n blessing_n to_o his_o sabbath-ordinances_a only_a but_o experience_n do_v tell_v we_o that_o god_n do_v often_o bless_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n upon_o the_o weekday_n to_o the_o conversion_n of_o many_o soul_n ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o god_n do_v often_o bless_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n on_o the_o weekday_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o the_o conversion_n of_o many_o thousand_o soul_n but_o that_o let_v not_o but_o that_o preach_v must_v still_o be_v account_v as_o one_o of_o his_o sabbath-ordinance_n because_o god_n do_v first_o appoint_v it_o for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o it_o be_v now_o but_o borrow_v to_o the_o weekday_n by_o the_o good_a hand_n of_o god_n upon_o man_n spirit_n as_o a_o furtherance_n to_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o thousand_o soul_n that_o will_v ready_o witness_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n who_o by_o god_n blessing_n on_o the_o word_n preach_v on_o the_o weekday_n have_v be_v turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o such_o person_n doubtless_o will_v with_o nehemiah_n account_v the_o sabbath_n day_n among_o the_o number_n of_o those_o special_a blessing_n that_o god_n bestow_v upon_o his_o people_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o his_o special_a grace_n in_o christ_n nehem._n 9_o 13_o 14._o hitherto_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o god_n blessing_n the_o seven_o day_n with_o public_a ordinance_n now_o i_o shall_v speak_v something_o of_o private_a ordinance_n wherewith_o god_n have_v also_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n god_n blessing_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v his_o blessing_n at_o large_a even_o his_o public_a private_a duty_n be_v command_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o necessary_a handmaid_n to_o the_o public_a blessing_n upon_o the_o whole_a day_n he_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n with_o as_o large_a a_o blessing_n as_o may_v be_v namely_o not_o only_o with_o public_a but_o also_o with_o private_a ordinance_n and_o therefore_o he_o sanctify_v the_o whole_a day_n to_o his_o service_n he_o do_v not_o sanctify_v that_o part_n only_o wherein_o his_o public_a ordinance_n be_v dispense_v but_o the_o whole_a day_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a day_n must_v be_v set_v apart_o to_o his_o service_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o public_a ordinance_n be_v end_v private_a duty_n must_v take_v place_n that_o the_o whole_a day_n may_v be_v bless_v to_o our_o soul_n and_o sanctify_v to_o the_o lord_n service_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o mistake_v i_o for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o make_v private_a duty_n to_o be_v command_v in_o the_o first_o place_n yet_o i_o believe_v that_o private_a duty_n be_v command_v and_o bless_v of_o god_n as_o necessary_a handmaid_n to_o the_o public_a and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o 1_o our_o barren_a heart_n our_o stony_a heart_n our_o thorny_a heart_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o bless_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n the_o take_v root_n and_o to_o thrive_v there_o unless_o we_o do_v prepare_v they_o like_v to_o well-manured_n ground_n 2_o in_o hear_v christ_n give_v this_o caution_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v and_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n say_v when_o any_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o

with_o joy_n and_o tremble_a as_o in_o the_o day_n when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n though_o they_o be_v great_a wise_a man_n which_o know_v the_o whole_a law_n every_o whit_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o hear_v with_o great_a attentivenesse_n and_o so_o god_n require_v a_o careful_a preparation_n of_o his_o people_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o law_n ex._n 19_o 3_o after_o

shall_v whet_v they_o upon_o thy_o child_n and_o shall_v speak_v of_o they_o when_o thou_o fit_a in_o thy_o house_n and_o when_o thou_o walk_v by_o the_o way_n and_o when_o thou_o lie_v down_o and_o when_o thou_o rise_v up_o deu._n 6._o 6_o 7._o now_o if_o god_n require_v such_o diligence_n as_o this_o every_o day_n then_o much_o more_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o especial_o after_o the_o public_a ordinance_n be_v end_v and_o all_o this_o do_v adam_n well_o understand_v when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v and_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n as_o i_o shall_v further_o show_v on_o the_o word_n sanctify_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n chap._n x._o show_v how_o god_n do_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n 1_o god_n do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n by_o put_v any_o inherent_a sanctity_n into_o that_o day_n more_o than_o into_o the_o other_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o god_n do_v not_o put_v inherent_a sanctity_n into_o any_o earthly_a creature_n but_o into_o the_o elect_a number_n only_o 1_o pet._n 1._o 12._o 2_o how_o then_o do_v god_n sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n answ_n in_o a_o twofold_a respect_n 1_o as_o the_o separate_a time_n of_o his_o public_a and_o private_a worship_n 2_o as_o a_o sanctify_a sign_n of_o rest_n in_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n for_o the_o break_n of_o the_o devil_n headplot_n 1_o god_n do_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o separate_a time_n of_o his_o public_a worship_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o word_n sanctify_v do_v imply_v a_o double_a command_n of_o god_n to_o fall_v man_n 1_o it_o imply_v that_o god_n command_v adam_n to_o set_v apart_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o worldly_a use_n and_o to_o attend_v upon_o those_o spiritual_a ordinance_n wherewith_o he_o have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n 2_o it_o imply_v that_o god_n command_v fall_v adam_n to_o prepare_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o come_v with_o all_o due_a care_n and_o reverence_n into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o sabbath-ordinance_n 1_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o word_n sanctify_v as_o it_o imply_v the_o command_n of_o god_n to_o adam_n to_o set_v apart_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o worldly_a use_n and_o to_o attend_v upon_o those_o spiritual_a ordinance_n wherewith_o god_n have_v bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o this_o be_v evident_a 1_o because_o god_n do_v never_o sanctify_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o use_n of_o fall_v man_n but_o he_o do_v thereby_o command_v fall_v man_n to_o sanctify_v 17._o when_o god_n do_v sanctify_v any_o thing_n for_o man_n he_o do_v by_o that_o act_n command_v man_n to_o sanctify_v that_o thing_n by_o separate_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n use_v num._n 8._o 17._o it_o to_o the_o lord_n use_v as_o for_o example_n when_o god_n do_v sanctify_v any_o person_n to_o his_o service_n he_o do_v by_o that_o act_n command_v man_n to_o sanctify_v such_o person_n to_o the_o lord_n every_o first-born_a of_o the_o son_n of_o israel_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v i_o both_o of_o man_n and_o beast_n for_o in_o the_o day_n that_o i_o smite_v every_o first-born_a in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n i_o sanctify_v they_o unto_o i_o numb_a 8._o 17._o that_o be_v i_o command_v my_o people_n to_o sanctify_v they_o to_o my_o service_n which_o they_o do_v perform_v first_o by_o set_v apart_o some_o of_o the_o clean_a kind_n for_o sacrifice_n and_o second_o by_o redeem_v the_o rest_n with_o money_n which_o money_n god_n command_v to_o be_v employ_v to_o his_o service_n either_o by_o buy_v some_o sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n therewith_o for_o the_o public_a or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v for_o the_o repair_n of_o god_n sanctuary_n as_o exod._n 13._o do_v explain_v it_o 2_o when_o god_n do_v sanctify_v the_o temple_n for_o the_o public_a
