And as to the religious observation of the first day of the week, I shall prove before I have done, that it is agreeable to the Will of ⟨p. 4⟩God; and those who observe it not, do violate the Rule of the Gospel, or the new Creation, and so break both the Law of God and Man: nay, it grieves my Soul to hear what a Reproach and Scandal some rash young Men who are Apprentices, have herein brought upon their Profession; and I hear some who know they are Members with us, have unjustly blamed and censured me and the Church upon that account, not hearing what Pains I have taken to convince them of their great Evil therein: and I do now declare my abhorrence of their Practices and unbecoming Behaviour to their Parents and Masters; and let such as encourage or countenance them, see how they will answer it in the great day.
