in the particular seventh day it was ceremonial so in the common necessitie it was perpetual according to the foresaid equity Last of all as Calvin saith vnto the Papists of the seconde commandement who also said that was ceremoniall and abolished As long as we feele the grosnes of our nature to invent false worship framing Images of God so long that must remaine to humble vs euen so as long as we doe feele our corruption in accounting the Saboth vnpossible and so omitting prophaning it so long we wil hold it to be perpetual Now the lord to help our infirmities hath givē vs variety of profitable exercises to be occupied in to recreat vs as it were in another being weary of one They are either Publike Private Nehem. 8.5.13 Publike is to join with the Church from the beginning to the ending in the hearing of the word preached in praying and administring of the Sacramentes Eze. 46.1.2.3.10 Nehe. 9. Esd 3 Act. 15.20.21 17.2 18.4 Luk. 4.2 2. King 4.23 Privat exercises are for our selues to encrease godlines or others their comfort Nehem. 8.13 Of the first sort are rejoycing in the word received and profiting by that Also meditations conference c. on the works of God that so we might not onely by doctrine but by experience be taught and so be brought to greater feeling as is commanded Deu. 5.20 For others we are cōmanded duties of loue in relieving cōforting the nedy aswel bodily by our help as spiritually by cōfort conference out of the word edifying one another in our most holy faith 1. Cor. 14.2 Mat. 12. In these things our cōtēpt neglect both of the mercy of the Lord who hath ordained so many good means to increase our knowledge our feeling in the faith good works his wisdome who hauing regard to our weaknes hath givē vs such great variety that alwayes being weary of the one we may breath our selues in the other In this as in the rest and the commaundement going before we must haue the sinnes forgiven in the sonne of God his obedience here Luk. 13.10 to the 18. vers Luk. 13.4.5 In him also we must receiue power with this former grace to die vnto this sin and rise vnto this part of obedience Now followeth the reason whereby he doth both make plaine the obedience and allure vs vnto it He allureth because he giueth this equitie perpetuall that seeing in sixe daies we may doe all our worke which is necessarie for the maintenance of this life and provision of our families which is declared by these oppositions in the 9. and 10. verses Sixe daies thou shalt worke but the seuenth day is the rest or Saboth of the Lord thy God In sixe daies doe all thy worke in the seventh doe no worke but of the Saboth Math. 12.5 The Saboth vnto the Lord Here as in that afore are the Papists confuted who ordained Saboths to Saintes Angels a worship due to the Lord onlie who also tooke away this libertie of sixe daies wholie too often No maner of worke except for frugall necessitie of putting on of apparell of meate drinke c. which must be as meanes to helpe and succour the weaknesse of tender and olde age the strength of strong men in this exercise who if they should ordinarilie abstaine on that day from these thinges it would make them much vnable to accomplish that worke of the Lorde and so it is expounded Luke 13.15 Wherefore that of Exod. 35.3 was a rudiment ceremoniall whereby they were instructed to the reverence of the same when as otherwise they might doe great things This is further declared by a distribution of the efficient causes Thou nor thy Sonne nor thy Daughter nor thy Servant By which wee see we doe not rightlie obserue the Saboth except all within our gates that is our authoritie so called because they bound the proper place of everie man where he exerciseth anie authoritie doe likewise sanctifie the same The seconde reason is drawne from the example of the Lorde himselfe the more to allure vs and mooue vs who contende to come neere the excellent So Christ gaue an example for vs to follow For the Lord made heaven and earth in sixe daies but the seventh he rested By that seventh day he pointeth out the Iewes Saboth the seventh from the creation to the which day they were never preciselie tyed because being the seventh it caried a note of perfection and so did shadow out the excellencie of our rest vnder Christ Heb. 4.20 And therfore because that was ceremonial that proper day was pointed out to Adam Gen 2. Whereas if this had not bene ceremoniall he had not needed because the morall equity of one in seven was written in his heart as aboue hath bin noted And thus as it was a figure of our sanctification and adoption it was not a peece of the first Table but rather generall to the whole Law and therefore in that respect is abolished Col. 2.16 The end of the first Table All Glorie to the Lord. THE WHOLE DOCTRIN OF THE Sacraments plainlie and fullie set downe and declared out of the word of God The place out of which we will draw the generall doctrine of both the Sacramentes is 1. Cor. 12.13 For by one Spirite we haue bene al baptized into one body whether Iewes Greeks or seruants or free and al haue bin made to drink into one spirite The generall declaration of a Sacrament drawen hence A Sacrament of the eternal couenant is a publike faithfull worke of the whole Church wherein by the Ministers putting apart by the word and praier to an holy vse a visible signe ordained of God in the order prescribed by his deliuerie and their receiving of the same the holie Ghost doth offer and represent liuelie vnto all but more surely applie to the due receiver therof the offering and giving of God in three persons and the Churches receiving of Christ crucified the covenant concerning iustification sanctification vnto eternall life fullie ratified and confirmed in him Notes which shewe how everie parte is gathered out of this place with more full confirmation by conference of the Scripture which declareth the true vse of every point A Sacrament of the eternall covenant so called to put a difference between other signes as the Rain-bow laying on of hands in ordination other such signes so called of old Gen. 17.10 doth seale vp the same Rom. 4.11 1. Cor. 11. Is a publike that is to shew the nature true reverence of those works because these are not at any time for one by one or concerning the dignity of one as appereth by this that is said here All haue bene baptized into one bodie all made to drinke into one cup. Which sheweth that it is a worke of a publike nature of publike fruit and priviledges to all of publike profession of the same and therefore in regard of the dignitie reverence of

Vnlesse the Lord build the house their labour is but lost that builde it Vnlesse the Lorde keep the citie the keeper is diligent in vain 2. Let them bee in vaine vnto you which rise betimes which sit down slowlie which are fed with the meat of sorrowes so he giveth sleepe to his beloved Psal 55.18 In the evening and morning and at noon dayes will I meditate and make a noise vntill he hath heard my voice 1. Tim. 4.4 For whatsoever God hath created is good neither is anie thing to be refused if it bee taken with thanksgiving Luke 22.17 And he tooke the cup and when hee had given thanks he said take this and devide it amongst you So Abrahams servaunt saide Gen. 24.12 O Lord God of my maister Abraham cause I beseech thee that it com vnto me this day and exercise this goodnesse towardes my maister Abraham 48 And I bowed downe and worshipped the Lord blessed the Lorde God of my maister Abraham because he had brought me by the right way to take my maisters brothers daughter for his sonne And vpon any great judgment on the familie Church or common wealth to direct them in fastings and praiers with readings meditations and vse of the woord as may serue to giue especiall cause of humbling and especial cause fit of cōfort for that work Hest 4.16 Goe gather together all the Iewes which are at Susan and fast for me neither eat nor drinke those three daies night nor day I likewise and my maides wil fast so at length I will goe in to the King which is not according to the commandement and when I shall perish I will perish Nehe. 1.4 And it came to passe when I hearde these wordes I sate downe and wept and mourned certaine daies in which I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven 5. And I said I beseech thee ô Lord God of heaven most strong God greatest chieflie to be feared Keeping covenant mercie to them that loue him and keepe his cōmandemēts 6.
