Thesis 162.
[ 162] 'Tis therefore evident that when God is said to sanctifie the Sabbath, Gen. 2.2, 3. that man is commanded hereby to san∣ctifie it, and dedicate it to the holy use of God: Sanctificare est sanctifica •• mandare, saith Iunius: And therefore if M Prim∣rose and others desire to know where God commandeth the observation of the Sabbath in Gen. 2.2. they may see it here necessarily implied in the word Sanctifie: And therefore if God did sanctifie the Sabbath immediatly after the creation, he commanded man to sanctifie it then; for so the word San∣ctified is expressely expounded by the holy Ghost himself, Deut. 5.15. We need not therefore seek for wood among trees, and enquire where and when and upon what ground the Patriarchs before Moses observed a Sabbath, when as it was famously dedicated and sanctified, i. commanded to be sanctified from the first foundation of the world.
