The word Sanctified is variously taken in Scripture, and §157various things are variously and differently sanctified: yet in this place when God is said to sanctify the Sabbath, Gen. 2.2, 3. it must be one of these two ways: either, 1. By infusion of holiness and sanctification into it, as holy men are said to be sanctified: Or, 2. By separation of it from common use, and dedication of it to holy use, as the Temple and Altar are said to be sanctified.
