Commandment IV.
['Tis not in the Common Creed]
IIII. Remember that thou keep holy ye Sabboth day &c.
'Tis not in the Common Creed
That he gather'd Sticks for need,
Who for Sabbath breaking dy'd,
For all wants were so supply'd,
That it seems he did transgress,
By Contempt, or Carelessness.
That he gather'd Sticks for need,
Who for Sabbath breaking dy'd,
For all wants were so supply'd,
That it seems he did transgress,
By Contempt, or Carelessness.
He commits the same offence,
'Gainst this Precepts moral sence,
Who the Christian Sabbaths wrongs,
And a Plague to him belongs.
