15 And even as the observation of the seventh day amongst the Jews, was not so to be taken, as though God had not been to be worshipped upon the other six days: seeing that the continual sacrifices was every day offered both morning and evening: Even so in like sort, the observation of the Lords day, doth not forbid sermons or prayers, to be on other days: but rather commandeth a certain peculiar & a solemn profession of the external worship of God upon that day in the public congregation. The Lord herein dealing most mercifully with us, in that he granteth us six days, to bestow our selves in a holy sort in our worldly business: and requireth no more to himself, but one of seven. The revolution of which seven days being fetched from the creation of the world, doth measure the length of all ages and times.

The Jews therefore are deceived, and also those, who together with EBION, CERINTHVS and other superstitious observers of the Sabaoth, do at this day require that seventh day to be superstitiously observed amongst Christians: and so by laying a yoke upon those that are delivered by Christ, do go about to make christ unprofitable unto us.
