Seventhly, 1Let it be considered, that since God so severely reprehended the Jews for profaning his Sabbaths, and hardly reproved them more sharply for any one Sin than for this; certainly in his enumerating the Sins […] his People, and of the Wickedness of those that lived from Adam to Moses, he would have reproved them for Sabbath-breaking, and not have utterly passed it by in silence, had they been guilty of it: or can it be rationally supposed that tho they failed in all other respects, yet that they did not in this? No doubt, had it been a known Duty, (and that some of them had been guilty of the breach of it, as in all likelihood they would) but God would have severely reprehended them for it.
