We read of Men who began to call upon the Name of the Lord, Gen. 4. 26. or to call themselves by the Name of the Lord, as one reads it,1 but not a word of such a Sabbath observed by them. Ainsworth reads it thus, Then began Men profanely to call upon the Name of the Lord: and one of the Rabbins *saith, in those days Idolatry took its first beginning; so that from ⟨p. 61⟩hence there can no Proof be taken that they kept the seventh-day as a Sabbath. Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and certainly if he had kept the Sabbath we should have had •ome account of it; but as we read of no such matter, so Justin Martyr, as I find him cited by approved Authors, declares Enoch was one if those that was not circumcised, neither kept the Sabbath.3 And Irenaeus mentioning Enoch, with my Author, speaks thus, viz. Enoch that righteous Man, being neither circumcised, nor a Sabbath-keeper, was by the Lord translated.
