Q&A 57 & etc. Of the Fourth Commandment
Q&A 58
The fourth Commandment requireth the keeping holy to God, such set Time as he hath appointed in his Word, expressly one whole Day in seven, to be an holy Sabbath unto the Lord.
Q&A 59
Not a part, but the whole Day is the Lord’s, and it is as dangerous to halve it with God in Point of Time as it was for Annanias and Sapphira to halve their dedicated Goods, and bring in but a Part. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day, is the Command.
Q&A 60
The Sabbath is to be sanctified by an holy resting on that Day, even from such worldly Employments and Recreations as are lawful on other Days, and spending the whole Time in the publick and private Exercises of God’s Worship, except so much as is to be taken up in the Works of Necessity and Mercy.
