nd full of trouble." "MAN dieth and wasteth away;
yea, MAN giveth up the ghost and where is he--So MAN lieth down and riseth
not till the heavens be no more."--Job. "And as it is appointed unto MAN
once to die, but after this the judgment."--Paul. Now just as certain as
the Jews and Gentiles are the "man" alluded to here, just in the same
sense and no other, is he alluded to by Jesus in Mark ii: 27--"The Sabbath
was made for MAN,"--Jew and Gentile, for every living human being.
Therefore it is impossible, yea it is a contradiction of terms to say that
the Sabbath of the Lord God, which was made for man, just as much as the
day of judgment is to judge him, was taken out of his way, because it was
_contrary_ to him, and against him, or that the Sabbath is an ordinance or
a shadow, but all the seven Jewish convocation Sabbaths that were nailed
to the cross, were shadows, as in Heb. x: 1-10. The woman was also made
for man, in the same sense. See how your rule will work here. This letter
is from Rome, A. D. 64.

Third Pillar For No-Sabbath, No-Commandments.

Gal. ii.-vi. chapters. Here we are told that the whole law and
commandments are abolished. I say the man was never yet born that can
prove it. You say "_we want none of your inferences_." Neither do we want
yours, unless you can back them up by scripture testimony. Paul begins
with the Gospel; in his second chapter he brings up the law of
circumcision, and goes on to show that it is abolished. Just look at the
7th and 8th verses, where he begins his argument, and then 11-14th. His
controversy with Peter respecting this point and eating, meets; then the
16th, 18th and 21st verses show again most clearly that he is contrasting
the Gospel of Christ with this law of meats and circumcision. He now
passes through the 3d chapter, (so much relied on for the abolition of all
_law_,) without intimating any other law whatever. In the 4th chapter, 4th
verse, he says, God sent forth his son, made, or born under the law. What
law? Answer--the law of Moses. There is not an intimation of the law of
commandments here; neither is there an intimation in God's law, relating
to Jesus, but there is in Moses'. In the 10th verse he begins again, and
says "yea, observe days and months and times and years." These are the
same feast days that I have been treating of in the two first Pillars,
viz. Rom. xiv. and Col. ii., for when he comes to the 21st verse, he says
again, "tell me ye that
