There be sinful, wicked pleasures, ways, words, thoughts; I say wicked and sinful (in themselves;) and these are properly the Devils pleasures, the Devils ways, the Devils words and thoughts, and these are lawful at no time, much less on Gods time; Gods day and the Devils employment do not well agree.
There be sinful, wicked pleasures, ways, words, thoughts; I say wicked and sinful (in themselves;) and these are properly the Devils pleasures, the Devils ways, the Devils words and thoughts, and these are lawful at no time, much less on Gods time; Gods day and the Devils imployment do not well agree.
And there are our own pleasures, ways, words and thoughts, such as concern the present life, relating to the body and outward man.
These may be lawful on our days; six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; but are not lawful on the Sabbath day: In it thou shalt do no manner of work, &c. save what is of necessity or Charity.
And then there are Gods pleasures ways, words and thoughts, i. e. of Gods command, and such as lye in a direct tendency to the worship and service of God in public, private, or secret; and these only we may and must do, and mind upon the Sabbath; if we mix any of the Devils, or our own pleasures and profits with Gods, we pollute the holy things of God, and profane his Sabbath.
