The fourth commandment concerneth the Sabbath: namely, that holy time consecrated ⟨image 63⟩to the worship, and glorifying of God. The words are these.
THe fourth commaundement concerneth the Sabboth: namely, that holy time consecrated ⟨image 63⟩to the worship, and glorifying of God. The words are these.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy: Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
Remember the Sabboth day to keepe it holy: Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke: but the seuenth day is the Sabboth of the Lorde thy God, in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day, therefore the Lorde blessed the seuenth day, and hallowed it.
Remember. This clause doth insinuate, that in times past there was great neglect in the observation of the Sabbath: and would that all degrees and conditions of men should prepare themselves to sanctify the same: especially those that be governors of families, incorporations, and Cities, to whom this commandment is directed.
