W. F. Hook, D.D., Dean of Chichester.

As to the Lord's Day, we are not able to refer to a single passage in all the Scriptures of the New Testament in which the observance of it is enjoined by God. . . . Let then our fields and parks be open. And as there must be temptation in an alehouse, and as there can be no sin in reading, why should not our libraries be made accessible in the winter?—The Lords Day. 1856.
