Sermon 6 › Rules drawn from the Negative part of this model.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
In this Positive model are contained four great comprehensive branches or Duties, wherein the sanctification of the Sabbath doth consist, sc.
1. We must call it our delight. 2. We must call it Holy, or the Holy of the Lord. 3. We must call it Honourable or Glorious. 4. We must not only call the day an honourable day, but we must really and actually honour God, or honour the day.
The Heads are few, but they are very comprehensive, and such as will afford us (in the opening of them) much matter for our use and direction in the sanctification of the Sabbath, although I intend in this exercise but briefly to touch upon some few particular heads or rules, reserving the more full and ample enlargement thereof to some other opportunity.
The first is, we must call the Sabbath a Delight, or (the pronoun supplied) thy Delight.
