EXOD. 20. vers. 8. 9. 10. 11. 8. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work. 10. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. 11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Q. Hitherto of the Commandment. What is the sum of the reason?
Q. HItherto of the Commandement. What is the summe of the reason?
A. A threatening of extreme misery and judgement, to the transgressors of this Commandment. For it being our bhappiness to have our sins covered, and not imputed; it must needs be extreme misery to have them reckoned and imputed unto us. Therefore the transgressors of this Commandment, the more free that (usually) they are from the judgements and punishments of men, the more heavy plagues and vengeance will surely light upon them from God, except they repent.
