God sanctified the Sabbath when he did consecrate it to his service; men sanctify it, when they worship God in it. In this place we are to consider the Sabbath, how far forth it is ceremonial, and how far forth moral.
God sanctified the Sabboth when he did consecrate it to his seruice; men sanctifie it, when they worship God in it. In this place we are to consider the Sabboth, how farre foorth it is ceremoniall, and how farre foorth morall.
The Sabbath is ceremonial, in respect of the strict observation thereof, which was a type of the internal sanctification of the people of God, & that is, as it were, a continual resting from the work of sin. Exod. 31.13. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, and say, Notwithstanding keep ye my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you in your generation, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctify you. The same is recorded, Ezech. 20.12.
