Would the Holy Ghost thus leave the Generation of the Godly under Sin, and such Ignorance (think you) were this a moral Duty? And as to such as do observe it, I am satisfied the Spirit of God never taught them so to do. But they in this are left to themselves, and have a Zeal, but not according to knowledge, which God in time I hope by his Spirit will convince them of.

Quest. If it be thus, what think you of them that observe this Sabbath?
Answ. As to such gracious Christians who observe it out of Conscience, and because 'tis put into the fourth Commandment, do think it may be their Duty so to do, but attempt not to affirm it is a moral Duty; nor dare they neglect to observe the first Day, provided ⟨p. 173⟩they are in a Capacity (being not Servants) to observe both Days, and make no noise nor disturbance about it, but keep it to themselves: I think it may be (as to them) a harmless Error.
