The Holy of the Lord.
We must call it, i. e. (ut sup.) count it, keep it, as Lichdosh, Jehovah, ⟨p. 135⟩sanctum Domini. One of the titles of Jesus Christ, The Holy one of God: we must observe the Sabbath as Holy time. Holy, yet not by constitution, not essentially holy as Christ is holy; nor inherently as the Saints are holy, but holy by institution, by sanction, relatively holy: the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day and hallowed it, i. e. he set it apart for holy uses, Deut. 5.12. keep the Sabbath-day to sanctify it. Nothing but holy things must be done in this holy time, praying, reading, hearing, singing of Psalms, &c. as Psal. 92. (which is both a precept and plot-form for Sabbath-sanctification) meditation, rejoicing in God, and Thanksgiving, as you may read at large.
