“Let it, therefore, be your constant endeavour to spend the Sabbath as a day which belongs exclusively to your Maker and Redeemer — a day which he has reserved for himself, and which is always to be devoted to his glory. It is only by such conduct, that you can become fitted for the enjoyment of that celestial Sabbath which awaits the redeemed after death — that pure and eternal rest which, when the toil of life is over, remaineth for the people of God.” — William Ashmead (1798-1829), Sermon XXV in Sermons (1830), p. 422
