5 Q. How can all that time be sanctified?
A. 1. By observing things commanded. Jer. 17. 22.
2. By observing things permitted. Exod. 12. 16.
Duties commanded, by reason of Gods supreme sovereignty must be done. They are so proper to the day, as in a right performing of them, the sanctification of the Sabbath consisteth.
Duties commanded, by reason of Gods supreme soveraignty must be done. They are so proper to the day, as in a right performing of them, the sanctification of the Sabbath consisteth.
Matters permitted, by reason of Gods tender indulgency, having respect to our infirmity and necessity, may be done. And though the Sabbath be not properly sanctified in them, yet is it the better sanctified by them.
