The divine appointment of the Lords day proved as a separated day for holy worship, especially in the church assemblies, and consequently the cessation of the seventh day Sabbath : written for the satisfaction of some religious persons who are lately drawn into error or doubting in both these points / by Richard Baxter.

These are his Laws requiring us to Hear and obey his spirit in his Apostles, Joh. 20. 21, 22. As the Father hath sent me, so send I you: And when he had said this, be breathed on them and said, Receive ye the Holy Ghost; &c. Luk. 10. 16. He that heareth you, heareth me.
And this is his Law requiring his Apostles by that spirit to promulgate his Laws, and make known his will. Mat. 28. 19, 20. Go, disciple me all Nations, Baptizing them, &c. Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you, and lo I am with you always to the end of the world (or age) with the other Texts forecited.

And that the Spirit in the Apostles hath settled the Lords day, as the separated day for holy assemblies and Worship, I have proved to you, ⟨p. 164⟩both by the Texts which you now sought in vain to make void, and by the unquestionable practice and history of the universal Church, from that age until this. And withal by other Texts which you omit: which (not alone, but) all set together make up the proof, because it is historical evidence of a matter of fact, which we have to seek after.
