The Sabbath moral, and ceremonial are described, and differenced. What the rest of God signified, and wherein it consisted. The fourth commandment expounded. What part of the fourth commandment is moral, and what therein is ceremonial. Something (occasionally) concerning the Christian Sunday. By Edm.

sabbath_n which_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v so_o strict_o require_v and_o that_o with_o a_o memento_n also_o more_o than_o any_o other_o commandment_n as_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a of_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

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
