Thesis 9.
The Deputation of Time for holy uses upon occasion is allowed §9to man; yet sanctification of Time, and to set the bounds and limits of it, is left to no man: Sanctification not only positive, but relative (as here in the Sabbath) being as proper to the Holy Ghost, as Creation to the Father, and Redemption to the Son.
Thesis 10.
Application of holy Time to the performance of holy duties §10on the Sabbath, (as to fix what hours to meet in upon that day) is left to humane prudence from general rules of Conveniency, Order, Comeliness: but Consecration of constant and fixed Time is the Lords propriety, not only of the middle, but of the beginning and end thereof.
