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. And he said unto them, the sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. And in mercy to the Bodies of Men and Beasts.
