'Tis true, that every day considered materially and physically, as a day, is equally holy, but this is no argument to prove that therefore every day is morally and theologically holy; for those things which of themselves are common, may by divine appointment superadded to them become holy, witness the dedicated things of the Temple, and so 'tis in days and times; under the old Testament we see some days were more holy by Gods appointment then others, and yet all days then were materially and alike holy.
