Therefore,1 as Reverend Dr. Twiss observes, if any pretend that Christ hath delegated this Power of his to his Church, it stands upon them to make it good.

What times God himself took to work in, or to rest after Creation, the same proportion of time (as Dr. Lake hints) did he assign to Men, and made his Pattern a perpetual Law. So then of our time God reserves a seventh part for his Service.
The reserving (saith he) a seventh part I hold to be God's Ordinance, who is not variable in his choice, but as everlasting as the World.
And so should the hallowing of the Seventh-day from the Creation have been, had it not been for Sin; for what could have altered it but a new Creation?
