Therefore He commanded also that the seventh day should be kept holy and that we cease from our works which we do the other six days. This Sabbath has now for us been changed into the Sunday, and the other days are called work-days; the Sunday is called rest-day or holiday or holy day.
There came a time when Nunez thought that, could he win her, he would be resigned to live in the valley for all the rest of his days.
