IT is written Exod. 20. 8. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it •olie, &c: Dearly bel•ued in the Lord, there is no Commandment of Gods part more urged, and of ou• parts less observed, then this one of the Sabbath: wherefore with zeal to Gods glory, and love unfeigned unto your selves, I have endeavoured in that measure and manner that God hath enabled me to entreat of this argument. The necessary use whereof we shall more plainly perceive, if we do wisely consider either the lamentable inconveniences which accompany the want of the pure understanding thereof: or the manifold commodities, which ensue the right embracing of the same.1
