Deut. 30. 10, 15. John 1. 9. Every man hath a Light and Law of Nature which he carrieth about him, and is born and bred together with ⟨p. 203⟩him: These seeds of truth and light, though they will not justify in the sight of God, and bring a soul throughly and safely h•me to glory, Rom. 1. 20. Yet there are even since Adams fall, those relics and dark Letters of this holy Law of the ten words, to preserve the memory of our first created dignity, and for some other ends, though these seeds are utterly corrupted now, Titus 1. 15. Natural reason will tell men, that seeing all men in all Nations, do measure their Time by Weeks, and their Weeks by seven days, they should (besides what of their time they offer up as due to God every day) give one whole day of every Week to their Maker, who hath allowed them so liberal a portion of time, wherein to provide for themselves and their families. There being no other proportion of time that can so well provide for the necessities of families, as six days of every Week, and that is so well fitted to all Functions, Callings and Employments.
