Thesis 58.
[ 58] If any think that there is a peculiar manner of holinesse, and of worshipping God herein required, which is not re∣quired in any other Commandment; it may bee readily granted, if by peculiar manner of sanctification, be meant a more speciall degree and manner of exercising the whole worship of God, in respect of such a time: but it doth not therefore follow, that any new kinde of worship (which Wal∣laeus hence pleads for) is required herein:* 1.1 for this higher degree and speciall manner of worship is not the substance of any new worship, it being onely a peculiar degree of worship,* 1.2 and therefore varies not the kinde: And if the three first Commandments enjoyne the worship it selfe, then they doe command the highest measures and degrees also severally, for where any duty is required, the highest de∣gree and extension of it is also therewithall required. Hence therefore it still followes, that this peculiar manner of exercising holy duties upon this day, is chiefely with re∣ference and relation to the time which God hath sanctified, that herein hee might be in a speciall manner worshipped and served: And verily Wallaeus foreseeing the blow, had no other way to expedite himselfe from making the three first Commandments, either to be meere cipers, or the fourth Commandment from labouring with a needlesse Tautology, but by flying for refuge to this peculiar manner of holines which he thinks is required herein, and not in any of the rest; but what hath been said may be sufficient to clear up the ungroundednesse of this mistake.
