Voted, to take under consideration the Report of the Committee who ware chosen at their Last meeting, to consider of a Late act of the General Court respecting the due observation of the Lords day.
The said Report having had two readings in open Town Meeting, the Town Voted their approbation and acceptance of the same.
The Committees Report is as followeth viz.
That it is the humble opinion of your Committee that a strict and religious observation of the Lords day is one of the greatest caractersticks of a Christian People, that the supreeme monarch of the Universe hath an indisputable Right to ordain Laws binding all his rational beings in an absolute Soverign manner, that this Great Governor of the world, hath revealed to man, that he hath made a special Reservation of one whole natural day out of seven for himself, which (according to the sacred Scriptures and the confesion of the most Learned part of the world) consists of

BRAINTREE RECORDS, 1783.
twenty four hours, wherein all our secular consearns ought in the most desent and devout manner be folded up to give way to the more important service of divine worship and adoration, and all our Laws and conceits of things ought to be regulated by scripture and not according to the Philosophy of the heathen or the super- sticious opinions or traditions of man and when the Laws of any Kingdom or State cooperate with and are agreeable to the Com- mands of the Great Law giver, then and only then may such com- munetees expect to enjoy divine favours and blessings prosperity in this and eternal happiness in a future state of existance, your Committee acknowledge it was surprizeing to them that our hon- ourable Court should at this day when we are just amerging from the horrors of a most barbarous and unparraled war curtail a part of the forth Commandment by tolerating secular concerns or Ser- vile Labour to be carried on six hours of the same to the great disturbance of every sober and Consciencious Person in this State for no other Reasons saith the Honourable Court than that because their a defirant opinions among the sober and Consciencious Per- sons of the same, Concerning the commencement of the sabath and lest they should be thought to lay unnecessary restrictions on the subject [6].
A very slender excuse indeed to whom ought we to hearken to the Great Governor of the world or to the Voice of the sober and consciencious People, a semmilar excuse once was given by a King of Gods antient People for his disobedience of a special com- mand because he feared the People but the inspired Profits In- trogative Answer was hath the Lord as great dilght in burn offerings and sacrifice as in obeying the Voice of the Lord behold to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of Rambs. We cannot conceive that the diference of of opinion or the fear of the People ought to cause an abolition of that sacred command ye fourth Commandment but that it ought to have it due extent at one end or the other, perhaps in some future day this sober and Consciencious party may request an other part of six hours more to be abolished and so on, untill that Great and most Interesting command becomes null and void, not by the traditions of men, but by the Law of the state, to draw to a close in as concise a manner as a thing of so great weight and Importance will admit of your Committee are of opinion that a Remonstrance be preferred to the aforesaid honourable Court when assembled that there may be a revision of and amendment of the above cited Law that their be no part of the fourth Commandment abolished by Law but that it may have its full extent as revealed to us in the Sacred Scrip- tures that thereby the Blessings of him who hath ever held an holy jealousy over his Sabath may decend on this Continent and on every State of the same is the sincere wish of your Committee
