Yea, but the words of the Commandement are, sixe daies shalt thou labourErgo, there should be no holie day besides the Lords day. [cx]Protestant Diuines answere that the clause (sixe daies shalt thou labour) is a permission, or a remission of Gods right, who might chalenge to himselfe all our time for his worke, and not a restraint for any man from seruing of God on any day.  For the Iewes beside the Sabbath had diuers other feasts; as Easter, the feast of vnleauened bread, the feast of first fruits, Whitsuntide, the feast of blowing Trumpets, the feast of Tabernacles; all which (as we reade Leuiticus 23) they kept by Gods appointment holie, notwithstanding these words of the law, sixe daies shalt thou labour.  And so the Christian Church in all ages hath vpon
