Tertullian (one of the next) li. 2. against Marcion saith, that the Sabbath was for that Time, and present occasion, or use, and not for perpetuity.
Athanasius was one that was for meeting on the Sabbath: And yet writeth his Book de Sab. & Circum. purposely to prove that the Sabbath is ceased with Circumcision as a Shadow, and that now the Lords day is the sanctified day. And the like he hath most expressly in Homil. de Semente, as is cited before, saying that, The Master being come, the Usher was out of use; and the Sun being risen the Lamps are darkened.
