Pium. Two days hence is the Sabbath-day: God hath commanded all men to Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. I request all of you to come together that day, and then I will further teach you (by the assistance of the Lord) touching this matter. And to persuade you to make this beginning to keep the Sabbath, besides the Commandment of the Lord, we have the Reasons annexed by God himself unto it. God himself Rested that day, to set us an heavenly pattern; and God hath also blessed that day, and m•de it holy, and hath promised that when we shall •eet together in his Na•e, then he will come among us, and bring a blessing with him. And when the Disciples of Christ were met to worship God upon that day, before the day was done, he came among them and blessed them. So if you come together on the Sabbath day, my hope and trust is, that we shall find some special token of the presence of Christ Jesus among us.
