It is sad when men come out of a Sabbath just such as they came in, as vain and loose, as proud, worldly, wanton, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, in a word, as fit for sin as they were before.
They sanctify the Sabbath (indeed) who can (in truth) say with the Apostle,1 We all with open face beholding as in a Glass (or mirror) the glory of the Lord, are changed (or Metamorphosed) into the same image as by the spirit of the Lord. When the Sabbath leaves its Image and Impress upon us (in some measure) then we do count it and keep it holy.
They sanctifie the Sabbath (indeed) who can (in truth) say with the Apostle,1 We all with open face beholding as in a Glass (or mirrour) the glory of the Lord, are changed (or Metamorphosed) into the same image as by the spirit of the Lord. When the Sabbath leaves its Image and Impress upon us (in some measure) then we do count it and keep it holy.
Surely the Sabbath is the very spring upon which the holy conversation of the whole week is turned and moved.
