8 The Ceremoniall things of this commandement, are the appointing of the seauenth day, the rites of the Sacrifices ordained in the Law to be done vpon this day: & the resting from all seruile works.
9 The moral things which are to be continued unto end of the world, are the things which are shadowed out by those ceremonies. This seventh day therefore, whereof there is neither evening nor morning mentioned, did signify that other everlasting Sabaoth, to wit: the perpetual rest of eternal life, begun here; but to be perfected in the other world. Now the body of these legal rites and ceremonies, was Christ. The rest from all outward labour signified, that in the true worship of God, we are required to abolish the old man, and therefore to cease from all the works that are merely ours, that is, from all kind of sin, to the end that we may ⟨p. 80⟩consecrate both our souls and our bodies; to know and to glorify God.
