6 There is another rest expected from every one on the Lords Day, and that is a resting from sin, which we ought to do, as much as in us lieth, at all times, but especially on the Lords Day, which ought to be kept as an holy rest. And truly, we cannot offer unto God a greater indignity, than to serve the Devil in the works of darkness on the Lords Day, which is consecrated to the honour and service of God.
