God appeared 1 In their strict observance of
the Sabbath day; such was their strictness that
they were not satisfied with the manner

in progress five times a day in the Temple
three times a day in their chamber & often in
the private places in the streets, and about
the corners of the temple - 4 In their
regular & faithful payment of tithes -
Tithes were of God's own appointment and

how he could denounce so many woes
against them & assume all professing
