To. 2. Hom. VIII. God hath given express charge to all men, that upon the Sabbath-day, which is now our Sunday (i. e. Lords-day) they should cease from all weekly and work-day labour, that like as God himself rested and consecrated it to quietness and rest from labour, so Gods obedient people should use the Sunday (i. e. Lords-day) holily, and rest from their common and daily business, and also give themselves wholly to heavenly exercises of Gods true Religion and service. — Thus it may plainly appear, that Gods will and Commandment was to have a solemn time, and standing day in the ⟨p. 104⟩week, wherein the people should come together, and have in remembrance his wonderful benefits, and to render him thanks for them, as appertaineth to loving, kind, and obedient people.— St. John saith, Rev. 1. I was in the spirit on the Lords-day. Since which time Gods people hath always, in all Ages, without any gain-saying, used to come together upon the Sunday, to celebrate and honour the Lords blessed name, and carefully to keep that day in holy rest and quietness, both man, woman, child, servant, and stranger.
