Now they were to use them seven days 1together, and therefore on a Sabbath day: but it was no breach of the day, because God can dispense with his own Law; In case of Charity good works may be done on the Sabbath, and in case of duty likewise, as the Priests killed the sacrifice on the Sabbath: so here was sufficient warrant for them, God gave them a command, God that made the Law, can dispense with his own Law in things that touch not upon his nature, as his truth, and purity, &c. doth: In things that touch his nature, he should deny himself, if he should dispense: God cannot lie, because truth is natural to him; God cannot do any thing that is unfit for his nature: but for things that are out of him, he is Lord of days, he is Lord of goods and life, he hath a right to dispense here, as we see in the taking away the Egyptians Jewels, and the like; they were outward things: But for those things that are intrinsical in God, he cannot command that which is contrary to his truth, and nature, other things belong to his Sovereignty; but that by the way.
