The third Argument is from the obligation upon us to keep the 1Sabbath day: This is a full Argument to me, that the Moral Law given by Moses doth bind us Christians; for, supposing ⟨p. 170⟩that opinion (which is abundantly proved by the Orthodox) that the Sabbath day is perpetual, and that by virtue of the fourth Commandment, we cannot then but gather, that the Commandments, as given by Moses, do bind us: For here their distinction will not hold of binding ratione materiae, by reason of the matter; and ratione ministerii, by reason of the ministry: for the seventh day cannot bind from the matter of it, there being nothing in nature, why the seventh, rather then the fifth, should oblige; but only from the mere Command of God for that day: and yet it will not follow, that we are bound to keep the Jewish seventh day, as the Learned show in that controversy.
