That number may be either more or less than would be actually required 3 but such is your Lordship's supposition, and the case would be little altered by doubling or diminishing the number. Then, the first effect of your Lordship's measure would be, that forty Englishmen would find the Lord's day, instead of a day of rest, a working day. Hitherto they have considered it a birthright given to them by the good-will of Heaven, and the whole tenor of British law, for the physical benefits of rest, and the spiritual benefits of worship.

Thus, to forty men the day is changed, from a rest and a moral aid, to a tyranny and a demoralization. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
