My Brethren, upon this foot of account was the Seventh-day Sabbath founded; not in Christ, or on a new Covenant bottom; nor given to ⟨p. 84⟩New-Covenant Children as such; but it wa• bottomed upon the Covenant of Works, and only given to that People whom God brought out of the Land of Egypt, and redeemed from Egyptian Bondage. And when he enters into that Covenant with them, he positively says therefore he gave them his Sabbaths,1 which was a shadow of a far greater Work than that […] Creation, and of a greater Redemption th•• that out of Egypt. I heard lately of one […] said, this was his chief reason of observing […] Seventh-day Sabbath, because it was given […] God's Covenant-People, &c. not being able to discern between that legal and typical Covenant made with the whole Nation of Israel (which took in their fleshly Seed as such) an• the Covenant of Grace.
