Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Reverend and Learned Mr. John Willison, Late Minister of the Gospel at Dundee, Vol. 4 of 4: Containing: I. A Treatise Concerning the Sanctification Of, and Meditations On, the Lord's Day; II. A Fair and Impartial Testimony, &C.; III.. Gospel-Hymns in Memory of Redeeming Love The Jews have their Sunday Sabbath, which they glory in, and call the (been of the week: The Maho metans keep the Friday. As being Mahomet's birth-day, The Parthians and fame other Pagan nations ohferve Tuefday, and elleem it above all other days of the week. But it is the difcriminating badge of the profefi'ors of Chrifiianity through all the world, to celebrate the firfl day of the week, being Chrill's refnrre�iion-day, and hence called the Lord's day. Now, though the Jews and fame few others plead that the fevernh day from the crea tion is unalterable by virtue of the fourth command, it is lhewed in this treatife, that the words of the fourth com mand are fo framed, that they may be applied to any day of the week that God doth pleali: to pitch upon for the Sabbath, whether it be the firfi or lafi of the feven days. For when it is faid, The feventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God 5 it doth not mean the feventb day from the Creation, but any feventh day after fix days la hour which God pitches on; upon which account it is not called that feventh day, but the feventh day. Neither is the feventh day mentioned in the firfi words of the com. Mand, which contain the fubfiance of it; for it is faid only, 9 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, not the feventh day. Nor is the feventh day mentioned in the lafi words of the command, which contain the for mal reafon of it; for it is (aid only, The Lord blefi'ed the Sabbath day and hallowed it, not the feventh day.
