This is the sum of what time will give me leave to say upon the Negative part of this Model: only before I dismiss it, let me add this short note of observation, that if what hath been spoken even on this negative part be the mind and will of God concerning the sanctifying of the Sabbath, then may the generality of Christians lye down in the dust, and smiting upon their thigh, with brinish tears upon their cheeks, confess (with a Pious Honourable Lady upon her dying Bed) O I never kept a Sabbath in all my life.
