Nor will it out of my mind, but if the Seventh-day-sabbath was by Divine Authority, and to be kept holy by the Churches of the Gentiles, it should not have so remained among the Jews, Christs deadliest Enemies, and a been kept so much hid from the Believers, his best Friends.

But, I say, since a Sabbath is that without which the great Worship of God under the Gospel cannot be well performed: How ⟨p. 142⟩can it be thought, that it should, as to the knowledge of it, be confined to so blasphemous a generation of the Jews, with whom that worship it not?
