For as he hath appointed six days for us to exercise our selves in the business / and travels of the world: so hath he appointed the seventh to exercise the Ceremonies of the church / which are insty•udid for the preservation of the Ministry of the church As to use common prayer / here the sermon / use the blessed ⟨p. CVIII⟩supper of the lord / and to give alms / 1. Cor. 1•.14.16. although the Ceremony of the Sabbath be taken away Col. 2. which appertained only unto the people / and commune wealth of the Hebrews / yet one day of the weak / to preserve / and use the word of God / and his sacramē teo / is not abrogated. therefore in this commandment / are too things to be observed. The one ceremonial / during for the time: the other Moral / and never to be abolished / as long as the church of Christ shall continue / upon the Earth. The patriarchs before the law / Gene. 2. the prophets in the time of the law / Exod. 20. Deut. 5. we being delivered from the damnation of the law / 1. Cor. 16. have one day / to rest from labour / and apply our selves to the works of the spirit / which secretly in our selves / should be done every day / with our handy labour / upon the Sunday openly without the labour of our hands. This Sunday that we observe / is not the commandment of man as many say / that would under the pretence of this one law / bind the church of Christ to all other laws / that men hath ungodly prescribed unto the church. But it is / by express words commanded / that we should observe this day (the Sunday) for our Sabbath / as the words of S. Paul declareth / 1. Cor. 16. commanding every man to appoint his alms for the pour / ⟨p. CIX⟩in the Sunday. The text saith in one of the sabbath. It is an Hebrew frace / and is as much to say / as in the Sunday. As ye may read the same manner of speech / Luce. 24. and Joan. 20. of the women that came / to the sepulchre / to anoint the dead body of Christ. Luke saith / in one of the Sabbath / early they came to the Sepulchre / and so saith John / by the same words. the which was the sunday / as no man doubteth. for it is our faith / that christ rose the third day. So may ye read / Gene. 1. where the text saith. it was evening / and it was morning / one day that is to say the first day / Which we call the sunday.
