There's an issue with question 50:
Quote: 50. Q. What is required in the fourth commandment? A. The fourth commandment requires the keeping holy to God such set times as he has appointed in his Word, expressly one whole day in seven, to be a holy Sabbath to himself (Lev. 19:30; Deut. 5:12).
If they are suggesting it can be any day of the week, then a note to everyone: that's not how God defines it.
Genesis 2:2-3 (NIV)
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Exodus 16:26 (NIV)
26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.”
Matthew 28:1 (NIV)
28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
Both the Old Testament and New Testament define the weekly Sabbath as the seventh day of the week; it's not just any day as long as we work the other six. It's the seventh.
The follow-up question is fine though.
Quote: 51. Q. How is the Sabbath to be sanctified? A. The Sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly employments and recreations as are lawful on other days (Lev. 23:3), and spending the whole time in the public and private exercises of God's worship (Ps. 92:1-2; Isa. 58:13-14), except so much as is taken up in the works of necessity and mercy (Matt. 12:11-12).

I appreciate that you point out things unclear, or not quite right. Thank you. It was written by Spurgeon for his friends and family.
