Secondly, In the honour of her Sabbaths. ⟨p. 141⟩This is that, my Brethren, where in the Lord hath vouchsafed singular favour to this nation Oh, bless God for honouring this nation with his Sabbaths as he hath done: that they should be so sa•ctisied as they be. Nehemiah reckoneth this as a singular mercy of God to them. So Isaiah 58. 13. Thou shalt call the Sabbath a delight, and shalt honour it. If you honour them, they will be an honour and blessing to you.

Who can tell of what effect their prayers and blood hath been for our good? so that according to that holy prophecy of Latimer, when going to the stake, God hath lighted up such a light by this as shall never be put out.
