John Collinges on Christian liberty and the observance of days

[Reformed Covenanter]

IT is the Apostle’s Precept that we should stand fast in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free; and doubtless we are no more to deprive our selves of that liberty which our great Creator hath indulged us, than to throw away the life, health or estate with which he hath blessed us.

It is one thing for us as our free-will offering to set apart one of the days which God hath given us for our own occasions, for the service of God; another thing for us to think our selves obliged to do this, and to do it in a pretended Conscience to a command, when we have no such command.

For the reference, see John Collinges on Christian liberty and the observance of days.

Do you know examples of "days which God hath given us for our own occasions, for the service of God" he might have had in mind?

Probably occasional days of thanksgiving and such like. Edit: see this thread for more from John Collinges on the same subject.
