The Symbolism of Churches and Church Ornaments

Editorial note — Chapter IX · SOME OBJECTIONS CONSIDERED

J. M. (John Mason) Neale translation

[Footnote 77: We have the highest authority for believing that one type can symbolise two things quite independent of each other, in that the Jewish Sabbath, commanded from Sinai to be observed in commemoration of the Rest after the Creation, is enforced in Deuteronomy as the representation of the rest of the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. 'Remember,' says Moses, 'that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day.'—Deut. v, 15.]
