Expl. 59. The old Sabbath (as we see by this A. was the seventh day of the week in order, that is, the Jews did observe our Saturday; for their seventh-day-Sabbath, and the reason of it is expressed in the command; sc. God rested from Creation-work that day. But the morality, or indispensable and perpetual obligation of this command doth not necessarily require the seventh in order, for that is Ceremonious and abrogated together with the Jewish Sabbath: but it doth necessarily require the keeping holy of a seventh day for number, or a seventh part of the week to be spent in Sabbath-duties, which seventh part is now by the Resurrection of Christ upon the first day, and by his own immediate authority (or by that which he gave to his Apostles) sixth upon that first day, (now commonly called our Sunday, or Dominical, i. e. Lords-day) and no other even to the end of the world. Though there be no express mention made of this change from the last to the first day in Scripture, there being no question moved about it that we read of in ⟨p. 103⟩the Apostles time, yet by consequence the matter of fact is clear.
