“Time is one of the most precious Things in the World, and what can never be enough valued, nor be carefully improven, seeing the eternal Salvation of our precious and immortal Souls doth wholly depend thereupon. . . . But of all Time, Sabbath Time is the most precious and valuable; since, upon the Improvement ofit, the Salvation of our Souls dependeth in a special Manner. Time is fitly compared to a Ring of Gold, and the Sabbath to the sparkling Diamond in it. So that we ought to have a peculiar Esteem for the Sabbath, and reckon every Moment of Sabbath Time precious, as we do the Fylings of Gold, being careful that none of it be lost.”
