A. The first Reason is the sufficient and large allowance of time God hath given us for our civil Callings and earthly business. Six days in the week is a large allowance.
Q. 9. What is the second Reason annexed to this fourth Command?
A. The second Reason is Gods sanctifying and separating this day by a special Command and Institution for his service; so that to profane this time is to sin against an express Divine Statute.
Q. 10. What's the third Reason annexed to this Command?
A. The third Reason is Gods own Example, who rested the seventh day from all his works, and blessed this day, by virtue of which Blessing we are encouraged to sanctify it.
