Answ. No, not at all, because we find that sacrifices, and offering the Firstlings of the •locks,1 and first Fruits of the Ground, were offered to God from the beginning: and therefore should we grant that the Seventh-day Sabbath had been practised from the beginning ••so, yet that would no more prove it a moral •nd perpetual Law, than it proves the offering •f the Firstlings of the Flocks, and the First-fruits, &c. to be perpetual Laws, or moral Duties; the Sabbath being a sign and shadow as well as they were so. We come now to the ••urth part of our first general Proposition.
