To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not necessary here to go into the question of the origin of the Sabbath idea. Sufficient to say that the cel- ebration of one day of rest in every seven, as now prevalent among all civilized nations, came from the Jews, for whom it was embodied in the fourth commandment. To rest one day in seven is a necessity for man, a necessity for the human constitution. During the period of the French Rev- olution when the idea prevailed that everything of the past was useless and harmful and injurio...us merely because it was past, when the wisdom and the reason of institutions was not at all entered into, but men, intoxicated with the spirit of liberty, which unbridled, readily turned into license, threw overboard all the traditions of the past, this day of rest in every seven was abolished too, and merely to make a difference a law was passed that every tenth day be the pe- riod whereon to abstain from labor. It was however soon found to be impracticable, neither human beings nor an- imals could endure it, and the wise thought, founded on the very nature of things was returned to, and the seventh day of rest was again instituted.
