But suppose it had been a promulgation of it, what could that hinder the discourse of Jacobs not neglecting Labans flock upon conscience of the Sabbath, which was long before the children of Israels going down into Egypt; whereas Manna fell not until their departing out of Egypt, and coming into the Wilderness, which was diverse hundreds of years after. But yet the ordering of the Manna in the falling of it six days, and not the seventh; doth evidently argue that this seventh standing in just correspondency to the seventh day from the Creation, (as appears by the story following) the dividing of time into weeks, and septenaries from the Creation, was exactly observed from the Creation all along until that time: And no less evidently doth it manifest, that the Sabbath day was observed before the Law given on Mount Sinai; and consequently either by light of nature directing them to the day of the week whereon God rested; or by Commandment, and Commandment we find none before that on Mount Sinai, unless that in Gen. 2. 3. Go for a Commandment from the beginning.
