THE FIRST PART. Isai. LVI. 1, 2, 6, 7.
Thus the ETERNAL God hath said, † Blessings attend the [Pious] Man † who does this, and the Son of Man † who lays [and keeps] fast hold on it; † The Man who from polluting it † does keep the [Holy] Sabbath well; † and he who from the doing of † all Evil keeps his hand [with care.] †
THus the ETERNAL God hath said, † Blessings attend the [Pious] Man † who does this, and the Son of Man † who lays [and keeps] fast hold on it; † The Man who from polluting it † does keep the [Holy] Sabbath well; † and he who from the doing of † all Evil keeps his hand [with care.] †
Yea, The Sons of the Stranger, who † to [and on] the ETERNAL God † do join themselves, that they may be † true [Priests and] Servants unto tree: † And that in Love unto the Name † of [Him who's] the ETERNAL GOD, † they may become the Servants, who † [truly] devote themselves to Him; † all of these will my Sabbath keep † from all pollutions [clean and] elear, † and they upon my Covenant † will take [therein] perpetual hold. †
