On the Lords day. In these words is the fourth circumstance, namely, the time when this vision was showed to S. John. This day which here is called the Lords day, among the Jews was the first day of the week called by us Sunday. It is called the Lords day for two causes: First, because on this day Christ rose from death to life: for Christ was buried the even of the Jews Sabbath, which is ⟨p. 43⟩our Friday; and he rested in the grave their whole Sabbath, which is our saturday, and rose the first day of the week early in the morning, which is our Sunday.
On the Lords day. In these words is the fourth circumstance, namely, the time when this vision was shewed to S. Iohn. This day which here is called the Lords day, among the Iewes was the first day of the weeke called by vs Sunday. It is called the Lords day for two causes: First, because on this day Christ rose from death to life: for Christ was buried the euen of the Iewes Sabboath, which is ⟨p. 43⟩our Friday; and hee rested in the graue their whole Saboath, which is our saturday, and rose the first day of the weeke early in the morning, which is our Sonday.
Secondly, this first day of the week (according to the Jews account) came in stead of the Jews Sabbath, and was ordained a day of rest for the New testament; and sanctified for the solemn worship of the Lord. And for this cause especially it is called the Lords day, the manifestation whereof (as some think) John chiefly intended in this title. And touching this time: for our better understanding, let us consider three points: First, who changed the Jews Sabbath: secondly, for what cause; thirdly, whether the Church hath now in the New testament power to change the Sabbath day we now celebrate, to any other day of the week.
