Yet are we not bound to spend every day as a Sabbath, by laying aside the lawful works of our Callings, and giving up our selves wholly to the solemn duties of Gods Worship and Service, which is contrary to the command of God, who saith, Six days shalt thou labour, 1and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work; where the Lord doth require of us as well to follow the works of our Calling on the six days, as to keep holy the Sabbath Day, by a conscionable performance of his Worship and Service.

I deny not but Divine Worship is to be performed unto God every day: as under the Law, we read they had their Morning and Evening sacrifice every day; so we should every day offer up our morning and evening sacrifice of Prayer; and truly by duties of piety to God are our worldly businesses sanctified and seasoned, and therefore are every day to be performed, but yet so as the duties of our ordinary Callings be likewise performed, and not neglected by us.
