13 The Lord gave the ten Commandments and spake them himself, Exo. 20 Deu. 5. Yea Moses added many things: hence we may gather that whatsoever the Lord spake himself, it belongeth to all, that which Moses added was for the Jews, and so is ceremonial.

14 The Lord sanctifieth this day, when he commandeth it to holy uses: the people sanctify it when they so use it.
14 The Lord sanctifieth this day, when hee commandeth it to holy vses: the people sanctifie it when they so vse it.
15 The Jews were punished, not for breaking the ceremony, but for contempt of1 Gods Commandment, and for doing it with an high hand: as appeareth there, where he2 that gathered sticks is adjudged to die. For first there is a description of the sin, and then followeth that in practise which was in word or in precept. This is also seen in the law of the Fast, wherein no man must work, for who so wrought, he should die, not for that he wrought, but for that he contemned the means to be humbled: so the like reason generally is for working on the Sabbath and the fasting days, that they were not punished for the ceremony, but for contempt of the ordinance of God so necessary. The equity is, in that the Lord giveth six days to work, and but one to serve him, if the first being a permission doth endure for ever, then doth the other also remain for ever. And that this permission to work on the six days, cannot be restrained for any religious use, it appeareth, as in that Adam had the use of the creatures, & the Apostle doth leave all things free, and therefore these days came not for any religious uses.
