doth militate against our Holy-days: for the Apostle there speaketh in the present time [Greek or Hebrew]: whereas the Judaical Rites were abolished, whereupon fZanchius noteth, that the Apostle doth not so much speak of things by past, as of the very nature of all Rites. Definiens ergo ipsos ritus in sese, dixit eos nil aliud esse quam umbram. If all Rites, then our Holy-days among the rest, serve only to adumbrate and shadow forth something, and by consequence, are unprofitable and idle, when the substance it self is clearly set before us. 4. That reason, Col 2. 20. doth no less irresistibly infringe the Ordinances about our Holy-days, then about the Jewish; for, if mens Ordinances about things once appointed by God himself, ought not to be obeyed, how much less should the precepts of men be received about such things in Religion, as never had this honour to be Gods ordinances, when their mere Authority doth limit or adstrict us, in things which God hath made lawful or free to us.
