A120: The reasons annexed to the fourth commandment, the more to enforce it, are taken from the equity of it,

• God allowing us six days of seven for our own affairs, and reserving but one for himself in these words, Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:[634]
• from God’s challenging a special propriety in that day, the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:[635]
• from the example of God, who in six days made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
• and from that blessing which God put upon that day, not only in sanctifying it to be a day for his service, but in ordaining it to be a means of blessing to us in our sanctifying it;
• Wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.[636]
