Therefore, for the reverence of God, consider these
things: consider who calleth, namely, God; consider
again who be the guests; all ye. Therefore I
call you in God’s name, come to this supper;
hallow the sabbath-day; that is, do your holy-day work,
come to this supper; for this day was appointed of
God to that end, that his word should be taught and
heard. Prefer not your own business therefore
before the hearing of the word of God. Remember
the story of that man which gathered sticks upon the
holy day, and was put to death by the consent of God:
where God shewed himself not a cruel God, but he would
give warning unto the whole world by that man, that
all the world should keep holy his sabbath-day.
The almighty ever-living God give us grace to live so in this miserable world, that we may at the end come to the great sabbath-day, where there shall be everlasting joy and gladness! Amen.
