Remarks on Eufebius, against the Layman.
"ON THE SABBATH.
I glanced at a piece in the Centinel of May 16,
Signed Eusebius, in anfUer to the Layman, part
4. —In that piece Eufebius, exprefles his Sentiments
in the following Words : “ While they admit that
by being profaned, the Sabbath is made, as you
express it ; .to exceed all other days in vice, inle
nert and dissipation, and that in this way i> Di o't
in that general diflolution of morals and manners
which has already plunged so -great a part of
Chridendori) in the greatest miseries, and which
mart ill every nation ultimately Jeffrey their Social
happinels, and bring upon them the mofidread
ful calamities, they will thence be led to fee and
feel the importafte and neceffiiy of reviving the
drift regard for the Sabbath, and the renewal of
otir former good and wholesome laws tor its le
ligious observance ; nor will they tail to confder
the conduit ot Nehemiah, as thus particularly re-,
lated on purpose that it might Serve as an exam
ple for Christian rulers, teaching them how stren
uously they ought to exert the powers of govern- ,
merit in preventing open profanation of the Sab
bath day." - Thus far Eufebius.
A plea for the Sabbath urged with such appar
ent zeal agaiult infidels, under a Signature Signify
ing the Religious, excites rhe following quellions ;
1. Arhat is the chrillian Sabbath, and Low is jc
to be observed by chriStians?
2. What kind of Sabbath is it, for wh ch. Eufe
bius is contending against the Layman ? a few
hints byway of aufwer to these enquiries may
„ comprize all that need be remarked at present on
Eufebius.
Thechriftian Sabbath js the firftday of the week,
set apart by divine 'appointment, as a day where
on chriflians, resting from their common works,
and from feif-righteous labors, are joyfully to#
commemor. te the resurrection of Chril l : It is 3
festive day, whereon they are to come together to
rejoice that hefnijhedthe grand work ot redemp- •
tioiiand ceased from it, and entered into his rest ,
and has left his people the promise ot entering
into it. They are to affenible on this day to do
what their Lord ha, Appointed ; to break bread,
continue in the doctrine of the apoßies, (who are
preached being read, as Motes was ot old) to pray \
I together, exhort one another, and have commun
ion with each others' wants, by a liberal collec
tion for the poor faints.
The obligation on ci riftians to observe this day,
rensjulely on Chri/i's appointment, in the New
Teflament ! as might be clearly Shewn, were it
needful. It does not bang.on tradition, as moth
people cal'ed proteflant s vainly imagine.
The law that enjoins this day 01 relt, lias no
Satiation, bit such as the great Lawgiver has an
nexed to it— lt can have-no other.
To those who chufe to disregard it, that sanc
tion is his difpleajure, to appear full,,and awfully
hereafter. He has appointed, neither fine, nor
any bodily or temporal pain, as a penalty for dif
qbedience to his Laws—Hear his own words ;
^ It any man hear my words and believe not, £
judge him not" —" The word that 1 have Sicken,
the fame (hall judge him in the last day."
This law ot the Abbath is given to hi, willing
people, as his other-laws are—There remaineth
“ the keeping of a Sabbath, (as in the marginal
reading, Heb. iv. 9,) to the people of God." It
does not remain to the nations, but to a people,
“ taken out of the. nations to hisWme." No
earthly nation can again le the people of ,G°d.
None bu: c gftians truly keep the day of rest ;
they do it, because their matter, has bidden them;
and cannot regard any other authority in. the ob- ~
fervency of it.
Every openly felf-righteons man, is an open pro
faner of tha; day of red—-He does not leilin the
work <f Cnrift, and hrs religious labour tu ettab
li(h his own ri,h eiufoefs is a profine work in
deed !
Every man who on that day, preaches, or goes
to hear any other do<triue than Ibe timple genu
ine do&rine of tht aportles, profanes the chrjßian
Sabbath. $ \
Every man who can find, and have access to a
company of Curift's disciples, ordinarily assem
bling; and refufes to aflemble with them to do'
what he has commanded to be done on that day,
despises the day whish the Lord hath urade, and
Him who made it ; and mult bear his judgment,
whoever he be.
Every chrittian who tynno^find difciplcs with
whom to allemble, will fread the word of God,
( with his family if he habone) on that day, inflead
of going, as the fafhon is, with a croud of finely
drafted people, to fee and be seen ; and to hear the
commonTalfe, felt-righteous doctrine, with which
modern pulpits resound. He w ill reject allbuildeis
wl> oreject the corner Rone —He can read, praQ
and do works of mercy, without such- guides.
If this be a scriptural yiew of the Lord's day,
and its obfervauces, niay we not find reiigiouf
fabbath.breakers, as well as profane ones } ° -
The attentive reader need not teautormed that- '.
