Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

4. Come forth all ye Sabbath-breakers, you that have spent the day in sleeping, in eating and drinking to excess; who instead of holy meditations, have been thinking and contriving your worldly business; instead of religious conferences, have discoursed only of earthly matters: instead of going to Church, to worship God, have walked into the Fields, and spent the time in recreations; or if you have seemed to give God a half-day service by your presence at Church one part of the day; yet have worshipped him only with your bodies, when your hearts were removed far from him; had not you an express command for the Sabbaths observation? and if the day of first institution were changed, was the day and worship thereof laid aside, and ceased to be a duty? If the Jews were obliged to keep a day holy, were not the Christians much more? Was not the Sabbath made for man, was it not his Privilege to take that time for holy rest and worship? and did the Gospel straiten mens Privileges? Did not the moral Law, of which Sabbath observation was one precept, bind throughout all generations? could you call other days holy, which the Scripture gave no warrant for, and not observe that holy day which you were enjoined? Did not God allow you six days for labour in your Callings? and was it unequal for him to take one day for his own worship? had he eased you of the burdensome Ceremonies under the Law, and was the Sabbath so burdensome to you? could you reasonably hope to enter into eternal rest, and keep a Sabbath ⟨p. 94⟩in Heaven? if you would not celebrate the appointed Sabbaths on Earth? Were not the works of the Creation and Redemption worthy your memorial? was not communion with God in Ordinances desirable? had you no need of those spiritual provisions, which God did use to deal forth on the Sabbath days to them that waited upon him for them? What! not worship God either in your own houses, nor in his house; neither on the week-day nor Sabbath-day? could your sometimes could and formal services be counted worship? Did you think that lip-prayers would ever be heard by God that searcheth and requireth the heart? Did you think that Sermons un-minded, un-remembered, which you did neither believe, nor were affected with, would be effectual to save you? Take them Devils, bind them hand and foot.
