5. By their fruits shall we know them; look whether they give Sect. 14 so much liberty to others, and take so much to themselves, upon ⟨p. 13⟩their holy days, for staying from the public worship, and attending worldly business, as they do at the diets of weekly and ordinary preaching: yet they would make the simple believe, that their holy days are only appointed to be kept, as those ordinary times set apart for Divine service on the week-days. Nay, moreover let it be observed, whether or not they keep the Festival days more carefully, and urge the keeping of them more earnestly, then the Lords own day. Those Prelates that will not abase themselves to preach upon ordinary Sabbaths, think the high holy days worthy of their Sermons. They have been also often seen to travel upon the Lords day, whereas they hold it religion to travel upon a holy day. And whereas they can digest the common profanation of the Lords day, and not challenge it, they can not away with the not observing of their festivities.
