4. I am of the same opinion; but it is uncertain; so far as it is uncertain whether it was instituted actually at first. But the rest, Ex. 5. 5. seemeth plainly to refer to no Sabbath, but to the peoples neglect of their tasks, while Moses kept them in hope of deliverance, and treated for them. And their tasks, with their desire, to go into the Wilderness to Sacrifice, maketh it probable that Pharaoh never allowed them the Sabbaths rest.
