Many 17th-century Englishmen were disparagingly labeled 'Judaisers.' One such man was JOHN TRASKE. An historian of the day -- reflecting on the man's popular image -- noted that 'of the broakers of Judaism, John Traske was a principal.' Traske was so-called because he was the first English pastor to lead his congregation into Sabbath keeping and obedience to YEHOVAH God's laws. The fact that this was a crime in every sense highlights the intolerance of the day, and underlines a problem those who discovered the Sabbath would face.

I HATE, I DESPISE your feast days [Christmas, Easter, etc.], and I do not savor your sacred assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM...(Amos 5:21-22)
