' To the Creator it seemed fit and expedient that the Sabbath should be the last day of the week but the Early Fathers of the Church held other views. So great is the sanctity of the day that even where the Lord holds a doubtful and precarious jurisdiction over those who go down to (and down into) the sea it is reverently recognized as is manifest in the following deep-water version of the Fourth Commandment:
