Let no man condemn you in meat and drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath: ver. 17. which are but shadows of things to come, but the body is Christ. The observation of the Sabbath was translated by the Apostles from the seventh day, to the day following. Act. 20.7. The first day of the week, the disciples being come together to break bread, Paul preached to them. 1. Cor. 16.1.2. Concerning the gathering for the Saints, as I have ordained in the churches of Galatia, so do ye also, every first day of the week, let every one of you put aside by himself, and lay up as God hath prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come. This day, by reason that our Saviour did upon it rise again, is called the Lords day. Revel. 1.10. I was ravished in the spirit on the Lords day.
