1As therefore David said of the City of God, so may I say of the Lords day, Glorious things are spoken of the day of the Lord ▪ for it was the birth-day of the world, the first day wherein all Creatures began to have being. In it Light was drawn out of darkness. In it the Law was given on Mount Sinai. In it the Lord rose from death to life. In it the Saints came out of their graves, assuring that on it Christians should rise to newness of life. In it the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles. And it is very probable that on the seventh day when the 7. Trumpets ⟨p. 541⟩have blown: the cursed Jericho of this world shall fall,2 and our true Jesus shall give us the promised possession of the heavenly Canaan.
