I have here, by handling four Questions, proved, that the Seventh-day-Sabbath was not moral. For that must of necessity be done, before it can be made appear that the First day of the week is that ⟨image 5⟩which is the Sabbath day for Christians.

The timing then of a Sabbath for us lies in God, not man; in Grace, not Nature; nor in the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones: ⟨image 6⟩God always reserving to himself a power to alter and change both time and modes of worship according to his own will.
