See a late Author on the Sabbath;1 The day of God's Rest, saith he, which is the seventh Day from the Creation, is the same universal Day with all People; but it can't be the same Day of the week with all People. If the Day of God's Rest be Saturday with some, it must needs be Friday or Sunday with others. So likewise the time of Christ's coming to Judgment; if it be, saith he, on the Saturday with some, it will be on Friday or Sunday with others. This he proves, because the Earth is not plain but round. The Jews, saith he, neither did nor could keep the very Seventh-day on which God rested in all places; but as we, according to God's Command, work six days and rest the Seventh, so did they: And as Sunday with Christians was ever the day following six days of labour, so was the Saturday with the Jews. If this be so, it can't be denied that the Seventh-day of God's resting cannot be kept by all, nor do any know they do keep it.
