7. To close with what we find in the Old Testament about this: 'Tis worthy our noting, that God told the Israelites that those Seven Nations of Canaan, whom they should drive out,1 were defiled with all those Sins and Abominations that he commanded them to abstain from; i. e. they had violated all natural or simple moral Precepts. But God never charged them with the Sin of breaking the Jews Sabbath: So that from thence I infer the Decalogue was not given to them, and so not the Sabbath.
- 1This is a full Answ. to Mr. Soarsby, who has filled many Pages of his Book to prove the Decalogue Law was given to all the World.
Secondly, I shall prove out of the New Testament, that the Law of Moses, i. e. the Decalogue, was given to none but the Jews or People of Israel.
1. See Rom. 9. To whom pertaineth the giving forth of the Law, &c. speaking of the Israelites: to whom, that is by way of contradistinction to any other People; or to them and none else.
