to abstain from these sort of actions but also to honour God by good and profitable works We shall set them forth in the following verses Sanctificare diem post sex qui septimus orbes Volvitur sanctam menti indulgere quietem Auctorem ut proprium agnoscat veneretur ametque Tertia lex jubet a primis jam lata diebus 1. Hinc procul esse jubet manuum quo vita paratur Omne opus 2. humanis animumque avertere curis 3. Vt sancto vacet obsequio propriaeque saluti 4. Abstergatque dolens incauto quas sibi sordes Aspersit vesanus amor mundique suique Inde sacri quaerens caelestia pabula verbi Mentem avidam pascat sanctoque incendat amore 5. Quam male proh dolor haec servat mandata diebus Qui sacris ludos epulas vana secutus Gaudia criminibus foedat pia tempora festum Non mentis sed carnis agens male sanus Averno Consecrat omnipotens sibi quos sacravit honores 1. The first Sin against this Commandment is to do on the Sunday any servile works that is to say handy-works which have some temporall gain for their end Consider whether you have done any or whether you were the cause that others did either by making them labour in your service or for your divertisement without a considerable necessity 2. It is also a sin against this Commandment to be employed any considerable time upon holy-days in labouring about temporall affairs as Merchants Advocates Solicitors and other Officers of Justice do who spend one part of the Sunday in business and the other in recreation 3. Is the Sin of omission as not to employ ones selfon these holy-days in pious exercises and especially not to hear Mass as the Church expressly Commands under pain of Mortall sin or not to hear it well but without attention or reverence For altho' in this case one complys with the precepts of the Church yet he doth not satisfy that of God who commands us to perform well and piously all holy duties 4. Those cannot easily be exempt from Sin who on these holy-days neither think at all of God nor their Salvation who are neither present at divine service nor at Sermons but especially those who make a custome and an habit of it for this is to neglect the Sanctification of the Sunday and the end for which it was ordained which cannot be done without a great Sin. 5. The greatest and most greivous profanation of the Sunday and festivall-days is committed by those who spend these holy-days in idleness in gaming in dances in feasting and other recreations which instead of sanctifying the feasts are a dishonour to them and by this means God who ought on those days to be more particularly honoured is much offended These profanations of Sundays and holy-days are very common and yet great Sins And therefore every one is to examin himself strictly in this point The EXAMEN upon the Fourth Commandment Honour thy Father and thy Mother THis Commandment regulates the duty of Children towards their Father and Mother and by consequence or according to a necessary proportion that of other inferiours towards their Superiours viz. Of Schollars towards those that teach them Of Servants towards their Masters Of Subjects towards their Princes and Magistrates Of all the Faithfull towards their Ecclesiastical Prelates And reciprocally of all sorts of Superiours towards those who are Subject to them as you may see in the following Verses Quod Nati patribus debent quod jure magistris Discipuli servi Dominis quod subditus omnis His quibus aut populis dare jura aut pascere verbò Coelesti dedit omnipotens coeloque parare I. Lex quarta edicit statuitque reciproca cunctis Officia Hinc natos 1. venerari 2. amare parentes 3. Jussa sequi docet ac monitis parere 5. vereri Et dum corripiunt poenisque salubribus instant 6. Placare offensos verbis mollibus iras Mulcere aversis actu meliore placere II. 7. Confectos annis aegros inopesque levare Qua licet auxilio Patres eademque magistris III. Reddere discipulos servos parere fidemque IV. Praestare illaesam Reges ut subditi honorent V. Pastoresque suae quibus est data cura salutis Auscultent venerentur ament dicta sequantur VI. At patribus contra atque aliis lex aequa vicissim Praecipit 1. ut recto chara amplectantur amore Pignora 2. provideant naturae commoda primum 3. Praecipuam tamen aeternae veraeque salutis Curam habeant nec nata sibi sed debita coelo Dona Dei natos reputent 4. quos nosce supremum Auctorem rerum doceant pariterque vereri Coelestem redamare patrem 5. tum mente sagaci Explorent puerorum animos mollia fingant Ingenia sanctum verae pietatis amorem Alta mente bibant seros quae crescat in annos 6. Emendent peccata ruat ne labilis aetas In vitium nullis posthac cohibenda catenis 7. Corripiant juste stulta indulgentia natos Ne perimat paenasque timens adhibere salubres Aeternae addicat paenae puerosque patresque Ista docet lex sancta patres eademque magistris Praescribit dominisque quos neglecta suorum Reddere cura potest alieno crimine sontes The Sins which Children commit against their Fathers and Mothers are 1. To deny them their due respect as when they despise them interiourly in their heart or exteriourly by words scornfull gestures or actions 2. To be deficient in the love they owe them as when they hate them or wish their death or any other misfortune or forsake them in their necessity 3. To fail in their obedience if it be in a matter of Consequence it is a mortall Sin or else to obey them but not readily as with repugnance impatience or despight Or what is worse to obey them in things unlawfull 4. To slight to scoff at their reprehensions to take no notice of them or not to benefit themselves by them 5. To resist their corrections and wish them harm 6. To put them into passion and take no care to pacify them again by submissive words by obeying and complying with their desires 7. Not to assist them in their old age in their sickness and in what other necessities To these Sins may be added the not executing their last Will and Testament after their death or not to procure Prayers for them II. Disciples and Schollars owe to their masters and to all those who instruct them a great part of the same dutys as respect obedience and the like in which they should examen themselves III. Servants ought to examen themselves concerning the obedience they owe to their Masters whether they have fail'd either in their trust or in the dilligence which is required at their hands whether through their fault they have displeased them whether they have neglected their reasonable and just interest whether they have obey'd them in things unlawfull
