Thesis 188.

Why may not our labour in the six daies be made a type [ 188] of our labou••ing in sin, as well as the Sabbath a type of our sanctification and rest from sin? as some would have it; Why may not our Libertines make abstinence from adultery for∣bidden in the seventh Command, a type of our spirituall chastity (as the Gnosticks did of old) as well as the rest from labour on the Sabbath a type of our rest from sin? And by this liberty how easie is it for f••othy allegorizing wits, which my heart abhors, to typifie (as it were) and allegorize all the commandments out of the world.
