But before I conclude with this old Sabbath, I must add one dangerous Consequence more of their Principle.
12. Is not that a dangerous Error that reflects, nay casts Contempt upon the Holy Ghost, in respect of his Work and Office, which is to convince Believers of all Sin, especially of all immoral Evils, under his most clear and glorious Ministration, since our Saviour's Ascension into Heaven?
Now I ask our Opponents, Whether the holy Spirit doth convince all Believers that they ought to keep the old Seventh-day Sabbath, or reprove them for Immorality in the non-observance thereof?
Sirs, as these things aggravate their Evil in what they affirm, so it clearly tends to overthrow the pretended Morality of that precise Seventh-day Sabbath: for the holy Spirit never convinces Believers of any such Duty, nor reproves them for working on that day, or for bearing of Burdens on it, any more than on any other day in the week, to their dying day. But it lets them silently fall asleep, without the least sense of any such pretended immoral Evil.
