Or of Sabbath days.] There were divers sorts of Sabbaths, of days, of years, or sevens of years. The Sabbaths of days were either moral, viz. the seventh day, which God did choose; or ceremonial: the ceremonial Sabbaths were either more solemn, such as were the three great feasts, Passover, Pentecost, & tabernacles; or less solemn, such as were the feasts of blowing the trumpetsa, and the feast of expiationb. The Sabbath of years was every seventh yearc. The Sabbath of sevens of years was the Jubilee, which returned every fifty years. We see here then that the Apostle shows that we are delivered from the bondage of the observation as before of meats, so now of Sabbaths.
Or of Sabboth dayes.] There were diuers sorts of Sabboths, of dayes, of yeeres, or seuens of yeeres. The Sabboths of dayes were either morall, viz. the seuenth day, which God did chuse; or ceremoniall: the ceremoniall Sabboths were either more solemne, such as were the three great feasts, Passeouer, Pentecost, & tabernacles; or lesse solemne, such as were the feasts of blowing the trumpetsa, and the feast of expiationb. The Sabboth of yeeres was euery seuenth yeerec. The Sabboth of seuens of yeeres was the Iubile, which returned euery fiftie yeeres. We see here then that the Apostle shewes that wee are deliuered from the bondage of the obseruation as before of meats, so now of Sabboths.
