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.

Lib. 5. cap. 22. Ceolfridus sendeth an Epistle to the King of the Picts, in which are these words [Postquam verò Pasha nostrum immolatus est Christus, Diemque nobis Dominicam, quae apud antiqu•t una […] prima Sabbati sive Sabbatorum ⟨p. 177⟩vocatur, gaudio suae Resurrectionis fecit esse solennem; ita hanc nunc Apostolica traditio festis Paschalibus inseruit.] that is, [But when Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us, and by the Joy of his Resurrection made the Lords day, which by the Ancients was called one or the first of the Sabbath or Sabbaths, to be a solemn day to us; so now Apostolical Tradition hath engrafted it into the Paschal Festivals:] Where you see that the Lords day settled as solemn by the Resurrection, he taketh for uncontroverted, but the grafting it into the Easter Festivals, he ascribeth to Apostolical Tradition, meaning St. Peters.

And after in the same Epistle [Qui tertia post immolationem suae passionis die resurgens à mortuis, hanc dominicam vocari, & in eâ nos annuatim Paschalia ejusdem Resurrectionis voluit festa celebrare;] that is, [Christ rising from the dead, the third day after the Sacrifice of his passion, would have this called the Lords day, and would have us on it to Celebrate the Paschal Feast of his Resurrection.] The like is after again in that Epistle, with this addition, that we hold that our own Resurrection will be on the Lords day. By this Epistle the King of the Picts was brought to Conformity in that day and made Laws for it: And Cap. 23. The Scots of Hy who stood out so long, were brought to it by the persuasion of Eigbertus. Judge now of your Historical note of England.
