Excerpt from A Treatise on the Sanctification of the Sabbath: To Which Is Added, a Brief History of the Church of Scotland Had it not been for the observation of the Sabbath, the truths of Christianity had been quite razed out of the minds of the most part. For as the Lord's day, of itself, is a bright and lively memorial of our redemption by Jesus Christ; so upon this day we constantly have sounded in our ears the truths of that religion which Christ and his apostles delivered unto the world, and the excellency of them inculcated upon us. And as the observation of the Sabbath is a great preservative to the truths of Christianity, so it is also to the duties thereof. God hath set this one duty as a hedge or fence for keeping all the rest 3 for, by keeping the Sabbath conscientiously, the soul is notably disposed and put in frame for serving God in every religious duty. The frequent recurring of this day, and the gospel-ordinances therein dispensed, serve to continue the remem brance of Christ and heaven among men, keep sin and vice under constant rebukes, and put atheism and infidelity to the blush. Take away the observation of the Lord's day, then the worship of God would be cast off, and atheism, profaneness, and all disorders, like a ood, would break in among us.
