Secondly, 1Every Precept or Law simply moral (which obliges all Men to Obedience perpetually) must be made known to all Men either by the Law of Nature, or by Revelation from God himself in some supernatural way: the Righteousness of God requires this, because the Violation of simple moral Precepts is damnable. (1.) Now were there such a Law written in Mens Hearts, I mean to keep the seventh Day, some one Man or another would that way have known it. But no Man hath ever so known it, therefore no such Law is written in any Man's Heart; and if not one Man that way ever knew it, then not all Men universally be sure. (2.) And as the Law of the Seventh-day Sabbath is not revealed to all the World by the Lord this way, so he never gave any Commission to Moses, nor to any of his Prophets to promulgate it, or reveal it to all Mankind; therefore I argue, it wants the second Character of a simple moral Precept.
