2. Because 'tis expressly said, that the Sabbath, Exod. 20. was given to the Jews and Proselyte Stranger; To thee and thy Man-servant, and Maid-servant, and Stranger that is within thy Gate: Not any Gentiles, or Strangers without the Pale of the Jewish Church, but only them who were within their Gate. So that God doth implicitly declare he enjoins none else to observe it.

3. The Law of the Decalogue could not be given to all or any other People, because God did not give any Command to Moses, or to any of his Servants, to promulge, declare, or make known that Law, or the Sabbath, to any other People in the World but the Jews only.
No Law can bind without Promulgation: the Gospel is of a large extent, as appears by the Commission,1 Go into all the World, &c. Go teach all Nations, &c. Thus our Lord hath appointed the Promulgation of the Gospel, but not a word of any such Commission for the Promulgation of the Law of Moses given Exod. 20.
