The hardest knot herein to unloose, lies in this, to know whether a seventh day in general which God shall determine, or that particular Seventh day from the creation be here only commanded; the first seems (in Mr. Primrose apprehension) to writhe and wrack the words of the Commandment; the second (if granted) abolisheth our Christian Sabbaths.
