Jacob was a Man that fled from Idolatry […] God's Command, and lived a godly Life: and tho we read of his performing many Acts of Worship, yet nothing of his keeping the ⟨p. 64⟩seventh day as a Sabbath; no, tho we read of his hard Service when he kept Laban's Sheep both in Winter and Summer, which might have caused him to complain of his being incommoded from a strict observation of that day, had he known it as his Duty; but in all his Complaints not one word of this. We know among us how Shepherds are hindered in Sabbath-Observations, of which many have complained, or may have occasion to do. Moreover during Joseph's being in Pharaoh's Court, nor before, do we read of his observing this Sabbath, and when Jacob came into Egypt, we read […] of his observation thereof, nor of the Egyptian keeping of it; or had they forgot it, besu• there would have been some notice taken of Jacob's keeping it, nor would he have avoided i• that he might please Pharaoh and his Servants.
