Of the punishment for the breach of the Sabbath.
Those who brake the Sabbath under the law were to be put to death Exod. 21. and Levit. 24. the reason of this was, because their Sabbath was a pledge to them of all the benefits which they were to receive in Christ to come. So the priests daughter was to be burnt quick if she defiled her selfe by committing whoredome, the reason was because her father was a type of Christ to come: if a preachers daughter now should commit whoredome, shee should not be burnt quicke for it, be∣cause her father is not a type now of Christ to come; I grant she should be more severely punished in respect of her offence, than any other woman, the breach of the Sabbath now is to be punished with death: but other∣wayes at the magistrates arbitrement.
[Quest.] Why did they put him in prison who gathered sticks upon the Sabbath, doubting whether he should be put to death or not, seeing it expressely commands, Exod.

21. that he who breaketh the Sabbath should be put to death.
They knew not that this which seemed but a small fault to them, should be punished with death. [Answ.] Second∣ly, they knew not what sort of death hee should be put to; and therefore they put him in prison to know the minde of the Lord.
Domine Deus, quaecunque dixi de tuo, agnos∣cant & tui: si qua de meo, & tu ignosce & tui.
