But to the third way, if any should inquire what more holiness is called for, or can be win at, on the Sabbath then a Believer is called unto on other days, he being called to endeavour to be perfectly holy every day. I Answ Although he be called to be perfectly holy, yet not in the holiness of immediate Worship throughout every day: He is to be perfectly holy on other days, according to the duties and employments of these days; but on the Lords day he is called to be holy according to the employments of that day and its duties; The Lords people of old were indeed called to perfect Holiness all the week over, but singularly to sanctify the Sabbath as a part of their universal Holiness. 2. Though all the parts of every day should be spent holily, yet some parts more especially, as what parts are spent in Prayer, Reading the Scripture, &c. and somewhat more is required of these, who are called to it on a Fasting day, then on other days, even so on the Sabbath. 3. There is a difference betwixt a person living holily in the general, and a person who is holy in sanctifying the Lords day, though a man should be holy every day, yet is he not to sanctify every day which is required on this day, whereof we shall now speak.
