Q. 2. W•y will God have a Sabbath observed on Earth?
A. God will have a Sabbath on Earth, to give us therein an Emblem of that Eternal Sabbath in Heaven, wherein his people shall be serving him, and praising him without interruption, or mixture of any other business throughout Eternity; H•b. 4.9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Q 3. For what other Reasons will God have a Sabbath?
A. He will have a Sabbath for the honour of his name, Isa. 58.13. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable, and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words. For the good of Mens Souls; Mark 2.27
