Whole Sabbath

Q. 8. Is it the whole day, or only some hours of the day, that are set apart for God? A. Not a part, but the whole day is the Lord’s; and it is as dangerous to halve it with God in point of time, as it was for Ananias and Sapphira to halve their dedicated goods, and bring in but a part. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day, is the command.
