About This Book

The sermon argues for the enduring moral sanctity of the Christian Sabbath, tracing its origin to creation rather than solely to Mosaic law, and explains that later Levitical reasons were re‑promulgations and memorials for Israel. It balances warnings against both legalistic ceremonialism and profanation, contending the day was instituted for human spiritual and moral ends and must not be trivialized. Drawing on scripture and pastoral reasoning, the preacher rejects proposals to open major public entertainments on the Lord's Day and urges preservation of holy time as a means of spiritual formation and communal reverence.
