Q. What by blessing?
Q. VVhat by blessing?
A. Not that this day in it self, is more blessed then other days, but that, in setting it apart and separating it by this Commandment from other days, to be kept holy by public exercises of his holy worship and service, he made it an effectual means of blessing to them, that shall sanctify it as they ought.

Q. Wherein shall they be blessed, that keep the Sabbath day?
Q. VVherein shall they be blessed, that keepe the Sabbath day?
A. First, in an increase both of the knowledge and fear of God, and all other spiritual and heavenly graces accompanying salvation. Secondly, in matters of this life, we shall not only not be hindered by keeping the Sabbath, but more blessed then if we did work that day: as of the other side, the gain on the Lords day, shall (by the curse of God) melt and vanish away, what show of profit soever it have; and bring some curse or other upon our labours in the week days, which in themselves are lawful and honest.
