The Sabbath moral, and ceremonial are described, and differenced. What the rest of God signified, and wherein it consisted. The fourth commandment expounded.

hallow_v the_o weekly_a seventh-day_n sabbath_n if_o it_o be_v here_o urge_v that_o m●ses_v express_o write_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n that_o god_n bless_v he_o seven_o da●_n and_o hal●ow●d_v or_o sanct_a fi●d_n it_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v hallow_v so_o early_o how_o can_v we_o true_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v not_o hallow_v until_o four_o and_o twenty_o hundred_o year_n after_o to_o this_o we_o say_v although_o it_o have_v be_v most_o solid_o answer_v before_o by_o a_o right_n worthy_a and_o learned_a writer_n sabbath_n writer_n hist_o of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o moses_n do_v not_o write_v that_o god_n hallow_v it_o ●hen_o and_o on_o that_o very_a first_fw-mi seven_o day_n nor_o do_v he_o there_o show_v when_o it_o be_v hallow_v but_o only_o why_o god_n do_v choose_v th●_n seven_o day_n in_o aftertime_n to_o hallow_v or_o sanctify_v it_o and_o none_o other_o of_o the_o six_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n may_v well_o justify_v this_o

be_v that_o because_o god_n have_v former_o rest_v on_o the_o first_o seven_o da●_n herefore_o afterward_o when_o he_o have_v draw_v his_o people_n together_o out_o of_o egypt_n he_o choose_v and_o prefer_v that_o day_n above_o the_o other_o day_n and_o command_v they_o to_o keep_v it_o holy_a if_o it_o be_v further_o press_v that_o even_o in_o this_o four_o commandment_n the_o word_n of_o blessing_n and_o hallow_v be_v deliver_v in_o a_o tense_n which_o signify_v the_o ●ime-past_a as_o benedix●t_v and_o sanctificavit_fw-la that_o be_v he_o have_v bless_v and_o sanctify_a which_o word_n do_v indeed_o relate_v to_o a_o former_a hallow_v thereof_o before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o so_o why_o may_v they_o not_o point_v to_o the_o hallow_n on_o the_o first_o seven_o day_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v and_o grant_v that_o the_o hallow_v here_o signify_v the_o time_n past_a for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v say_v he_o bless_v and_o hallow_v in_o the_o presenttense_n but_o this_o past_a or_o former_a ●ime_n refer_v we_o only_o to_o that_o time_n when_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v first_o actual_o and_o declarative_o hallow_v or_o set_v apart_o and_o be_v no_o
