CHAP. LXVIII. Of the Sabbath.
IN Exod. 16. 4. we may read how the Lord would try the children of Israel, whether they would keep the Sabbath or no: he applieth the same speech in particular for the keeping of that day, which generally is set down for keeping the whole law, to the end that as diligent as they would be to keep all the law, so diligent should they be to keep his Sabbath: and1 that they might do this the better, both in keeping it themselves and committing it to posterity, the mercy of God is commended herein, that he would give them double Manna for the Sabbath day. The like mercy he gave to this people when they were in danger of war, that the enemies that day should not invade them. Now although the Lord deal not in the same manner with us, yet the same promise is made to us, to take away that too much carefulness of provision, which we might excuse our selves by. Then we should trust to this promise, and equity thereof, as Paul allegeth it, 1. Cor 8▪ that albeit the Lord useth not the same means to defend us, and preserve us, yet we may be sure that he will ever defend us and minister to our necessity.
