21 Many will observe strictly their Easter day, but we must have every week an Easter day, to consider of the benefit of Christs Resurrection; not that we must only that day think thereupon: For as our Father Adam every day when he dressed the Garden, should think upon the Creation, yet on the Sabbath day he should wholly give himself to observe the same: So must we every day consider of Christs Resurrection, yet on that day we must do it wholly, that we may recompense the want of the former days.
21 Manie will obserue streightly their Easter day, but wee must haue euerie weeke an Easter day, to consider of the benefit of Christs Resurrection; not that we must onely that day thinke thereupon: For as our Father Adam euery day when hee dressed the Garden, should thinke vpon the Creation, yet on the Sabbath day he should wholly giue himselfe to obserue the same: So must wee euery day consider of Christs Resurrection, yet on that day we must doe it wholly, that we may recompence the want of the former dayes.
22 He that keepeth the Sabbath in truth and in conscience, will continually walk uprightly1 in his calling all the week after; and on the contrary, he that is a careless profaner of the Sabbath, if his life be examined, he shall be found to be a loose liver, if he lie not in some notorious sin. Therefore if any man desire to walk in the commandments of God, let him labour in conscience to be a sanctifier of the holy Sabbath.
