First, Beloved, I beseech you, as you tender the welfare of your souls, take heed of breaking the Sabbath day, of profaning the Lords day. It hath been observable, that where ever Religion hath flourished among any people, there they have ever been careful, and conscientious of the Sabbath day: And, on the contrary side, where Religion is gone to decay, and people grown to profaneness, there they are always loose on the Sabbath day. Pray remember, I hope you will remember, for God calls upon you, and commands you so to do, (Exod. 20. ver. 8.) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Do not you take so much liberty as some will give you. Whosoever you are that refuse thus to do, I will leave this assertion upon you, "Thou wretched man, hath "God given thee six days, and reserved but one for himself, and "wilt thou rob him of that too? What if he had given thee but one, and kept six for himself, would you be so vile, as not to keep them? How much more then, when God hath given thee so much preeminence in time. This is the first, be conscious in keeping the Sabbath day.
