The first day of the World, of the Year, of the Month, of ⟨p. 231⟩the week, &c. All shadowing that it should be the first and chief holy-day of the New Testament. ¹St. Augustine proveth by divers places and reasons, out of the holy Scripture, that the Fathers, and all the holy Prophets under the Old Testament, did foresee and know that our Lord's-day was shadowed by their eighth day of Circumcision. And that the Sabbath should be changed from the seventh day to the eighth, or first day of the week. And Junius, out of Cyprian, saith, that ^*Circumcision was commanded on the eighth day, as a Sacrament of the eighth day, when Christ should arise from the dead. The Council Foro-Juliense affirms, That Isaiah prophesied of the keeping of the Sabbath upon the first day of the week. If this Mystery was so clearly seen by the Fathers, under the shadows of the Old Testament: sure, the God of this World hath deeply blinded their minds, who cannot see the Truth thereof under the^† shining light of the Gospel. Therefore this change of the Sabbath-day, under the New, was nothing but a fulfilling of that which was prefigured and fore-prophesied under the Old Testament.
