[393:1] "The _Seventh_ day was sacred to _Saturn_ throughout the East."
(Dunlap's Spirit Hist., pp. 35, 36.)
"Saturn's day was made sacred to God, and the planet is now called
cochab shabbath, 'The Sabbath Star.'
"The sanctification of the Sabbath is clearly connected with the word
Shabua or Sheba, _i. e._, _seven_." (Inman's Anct. Faiths, vol. ii. p.
504.) "The Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese, and the natives of India,
were acquainted with the _seven_ days' division of time, as were the
ancient Druids." (Bonwick's Egyptian Belief, p. 412.) "With the
Egyptians the _Seventh_ day was consecrated to God the Father." (Ibid.)
"Hesiod, Herodotus, Philostratus, &c., mention that day. Homer,
Callimachus, and other ancient writers call the _Seventh_ day the _Holy
One_. Eusebius confesses its observance by almost all philosophers and
poets." (Ibid.)

Hist., p. 274. "Some of the families of the Israelites worshiped
_Saturn_ under the name of Kiwan, which may have given rise to the
religious observance of the Seventh day." (Bible for Learners, vol. i,
p. 317.)
