Note 1027 — Chapter XXIV · SABBATH-KEEPERS IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.

Such statements respecting the observers of the seventh day are very common. Even those who first commenced to keep the Sabbath in Newport were said to “have left Christ and gone to Moses in the observation of days, and times, and seasons, and such like.”—Seventh-day Baptist Memorial, vol. i. p. 32. The pastor of the first-day Baptist church of Newport said to them: “I do judge you have and still do deny Christ.”—Id. p. 37.
