Thesis 22.
Moses indeed tells the people, Ex. 16.23. that to morrow §22is the Lords Sabbath, but he doth not say that the day time only was the only time of the Sabbath, or that the Day light begins and ends the Sabbath; but he mentions that time, because on that Daylight of the seventh Day they were apt and inclined to go out (as in other days,) to gather manna, and so to break the Sabbath; and it is as if we should say to one who was ready to ride out on the Sabbath morning about worldly occasions, Do not stir out, for to morrow is the Sabbath; that so we may hereby prevent the breach of the Sabbath in that thing, especially at that time wherein one is most inclined so to do.
