The rest on the Sabbath may be considered either in respect §189of Gods example in himself, or his command to man out of himself: Now the rest of the Sabbath as it is exemplary in God cannot be a type of any thing, because God never made himself an example of any ceremonial thing; Gods own immediate acts cannot without much injury to God be made types and ceremonies; if therefore there be any thing of the rest of the Sabbath typical, it is so in respect of mans rest on it commanded unto him of God: but whether and what it doth typify, we shall speak to in its *proper place.
