The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it 2. He will be a swift witnesse against all such impiety 3. He will not spare in the day of vengeance Vse 1. Albeit therefore the breakers of this precept may in this case despise the lawes and wrath of men who haue but sillily prouided against this transgression and doe very slowly punish it and are oft times very little or nothing offended when Gods name is abused and his holines prophaned or if they take it to heart it is not so much to them as if their owne credit were called in question yet when the Lion hath roared who will not feare Amos 3.8 when the Lord hath spoken and threatned sure vengeance who will not be terrifi●d from this sinne which hath in it neither 1. Pleasure nor 2. Profit nor 3. Shew of any good Which might induce men to incurre this wrath 2 Albeit in other sinnes wicked vngodly men grow bold on Gods sufferance and their heart is fully set in them to do euill because sentence against an euill worke is not executed speedilie Eccle. 8.11 yet let all men take heed of prouoking in this kinde for their iudgement sleepeth not that offend on this fashion and vengeance is against them on the way the zeale of the Lord wil hasten it and bring this thing to passe 1. That the mouth of all wickednes may be stopt 2. That others may feare because of the iudgement 3. That honour may be giuen vnto God Which should deter vs from this hainous sinne 3. Albeit as the law takes no notice of the least things so God takes not present vengeance of euery small sinne because he will not alwaies be chiding yet will he make his plagues wonderfull against this sinne for his curse shall come into the house of the offender to consume it Zach. 5. his curse shall ouertake the swearers and blasphemers in their soules and in their bodies when he beginnes with them in vengeance he will not spare when he begins he will also make an end and he will do a thing vnto them at which both the eares of them that heare it shall tingle 1. Sam. 3.11.12 as it appeares vnto vs 1. In many examples in the word 2. In many examples in other writings 3. In many examples in the world Which should assure vs that hee will not spare The fourth Commandement Remember the Sabboath day to keep it holy Six daies shalt thou labor and doe all that thou hast to doe But the seuenth day is the Sabbaoth of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke thou nor thy sonne nor thy daughter thy man seruant nor thy maidseruant nor thy cattell nor thy stranger that is within thy gates For in six daies the Lord made heauen earth the Sea and all that in them is rested the seuenth day wherefore the Lord blessed the Seuenth day and halowed it 1. The affirming part of this commandement We must keepe this an holy rest vnto the Lord. The things commanded in this precept are 1. That on the Lords day we doe al holy and religious workes 2. That we cease from our worldy labours 3. That wee rest from sin and wickednesse For 1. They suite well with the season in holy day holy workes 2. In it wee must doe no manner of worke 3. So the Lord by his spirit shall worke in vs his good worke Vse 1. Hereby therefore am I taught and shewed that as I should at all times as much as my vocation and necessitie will permit be carefull to visit Gods temple to heare and reade his word and meditate thereon to call vpon the Lord by praier to doe the worke of piety and charity and as much as in me lieth to stirre vp others also thereunto so should I especially on this day do the workes of the day that is 1. Make praiers and sing praises vnto God 2. Gather instruction to mine owne soule meditating on Gods holy word and workes 3. Exercises the works of mercy to my brethren As he hath cōmanded that is the Lord of the day 2. Here I perceiue that as to liue idely on the other daies is damnable so to be troubled with Martha about the many things of this life and of this world on this day is abominable wherein is commanded a remission of all seruile labours and the workes of our callings that wee may serue God more freely in our places whom we are this day especially to honour with our 1. Bodies 2. Soules and 3. Substance Prou. 3.9 As he hath required that appointed this rest 3. Hereby I am instructed that I must not rest this the Lords day as the people of Israel did fast in their day Es 58.4 for strife and debate and to smite with the fift of wickednesse 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. He hath appointed it a meanes of blessing to them that religiously keepe it 3. He hath set it apart to an holy and religious vse Vse 1. If examples be of greater force then exhortations and a thing be taught more fully in the worke then in the word Leo papae in ser de Ieinnio see then here to the precept put the patterne of his rest that commands the rest to which if we conforms our selues and actions we shall not doe amisse because 1. 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. And therefore it is requisite that we so obserue it The fifth Commandement Honour thy father and thy mother that thy daies may bee long in the Land which the Lord thy God giueth thee 1. The affirming part of this precept We must giue to our superiors all due respects The things required in this precept are 1. That we obey them in all things in the Lord. 2. That we deale faithfully thankfully with them 2. That wee shew our selues respectiue and kind vnto them For 1. This is right Eph. 6.1 and well pleasing vnto the Lord. Col 3.20 2. 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. Not assisting him with his praiers 2. Not seruing him with his substance 3. Not ministring
