He that is entered into his rest rested also himselfe from his workes as God did from his The summe therefore of the commanment is The sum of the 4. commandement that it establisheth the publike worship of god or ministery of the church and the exercise and honour of the same For this is the halowing or holy of vse the Sabboth that is to saye of the time appoynted vnto the ministerie when as on that day holy workes the which God hath commanded at that time to be done are exercised The vvorks of the Sabboth Now the partes of this halowing or the workes of the Sabboth the which on the Sabboth ought to bee done partly by the Ministers and partly by the Church are these especially 1 To teach the church Truly to teach the Church concerning God and his will For in this place is spoken of the dutie of the Ministers of the Church vnto whom it appertaineth not onely in the publike assemblyes of the Church faithfully to deliuer teach true doctrine but as necessitie occasion shall be offered to instruct and admonish euen particular persons and to employ themselues vnto the amendment and saluation of all them that are committed to their charge Proues for publike doctrine Concerning doctrine in the meetings of the Church there is spoken Exod 12.
