XV. Of the Christian Sabbath ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬᎢ ᎢᎦ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ

We believe that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day or Christian Sabbath; and it is

to be kept sacred to religious purposes, by abstaining from all secular labor and sinful

recreations, by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public;

and by preparation for the rest that remaineth for the people of God.
