or as he that of a filthy lecher is become a covetous miser, riddeth not himself from sin, but changeth from one suit of sin, whereof he is weary, to some other. The Papists therefore, though they have not the same days, yet having new days in their stead, have not abrogated, but altered Judaism. Justinus Martyr affirmeth, that they had no holy day but one in the Primitive Church. He speaketh then flatly against the ceremonies, which by the eternity and perfection of Christ his sacrifice are abolished, Heb. 9 and 10 Our first father Abraham, when he believed, received circumcision as the seal of his faith, to which Baptism is subrogated unto Christians. The particular sign that appertained to the posterity of Abraham, is gone: but the water in Baptism doth appertain to all in a general equity. Likewise as the Sabbath did put them in mind of their deliverance, it is gone: but as by it we remember Christ his resurrection, we retain it. To conclude, the Apostle meaneth not in this place that Sabbath, but those holy days of the Jews, which being the beginning and ending, the first day and last day of their feasts were Sabbaths.

or as hee that of a filthie lecher is become a couetous miser, riddeth not himselfe from sinne, but changeth from one sute of sinne, whereof he is weary, to some other. The Papists therefore, though they haue not the same daies, yet hauing newe daies in their stead, haue not abrogated, but altered Iudaisme. Iustinus Martyr affirmeth, that they had no holy day but one in the Primitiue Church. He speaketh then flatly against the ceremonies, which by the eternitie and perfection of Christ his sacrifice are abolished, Heb. 9 and 10 Our first father Abraham, when hee beleeued, receiued circumcision as the seale of his faith, to which Baptisme is subrogated vnto Christians. The particular signe that appertained to the posteritie of Abraham, is gone: but the water in Baptisme doth appertaine to all in a generall equitie. Likewise as the Sabbath did put them in minde of their deliuerance, it is gone: but as by it we remember Christ his resurrection, wee retaine it. To conclude, the Apostle meaneth not in this place that Sabbath, but those holy daies of the Iewes, which being the beginning and ending, the first day and last day of their feasts were Sabbaths.
