Universal Church has but been walking, from the first, according to his own wise counsel. If, therefore, what has been said in these Lectures should be blessed to a more spiritual and effectual hallowing of this ancient and high Ordinance of God, to the great "Lord of the Sabbath" shall be all the praise. Brooklyn, June 8, 1844.

"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work, which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work, which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work, which God created and made."
