Now had any Text said that Paul must needs hast to Jerusalem to keep the Sabbath among the Jews, what Improvement would the Sabbatarians have made of it? yet that no more would prove the Sabbath ought to be kept than the Feast of Pentecost. See what Paul saith, Rom. 16. 8. But I will tarry at Ephesus will Pentecost; for a great door and effectual is opened to me. This shows what his reason was to keep that Feast, and also in preaching on their Sabbaths.
