Note 854 — Chapter VIII · THE HEBREW SABBATH
Reading edition
De oratione, 23: Omni anxietatis habitu et officio cavere debemus, differentes etiam negotia, ne quem diabolo locum demus. Tertullian, however, elsewhere rejects the implication that Christians should be sabbatizers, “we, to whom these Sabbaths belong not, nor the new moons, nor the feast days once beloved of God” (De idolatria, 14); compare idem, Apologeticus, 16; idem, Ad nationes, i, 13; idem, Adversus Judæos, 4; Augustine, De spiritu et littera, 24.
