Now in the Law as moral, we conclude a time propounded, but no Seventh-day-sabbath enjoined: But in that Law, as thus ministered, which Ministration is already out of doors, we find a seventh day; that seventh day on which God rested, on which ⟨p. 38⟩God rested from all his works, enjoined. What is it then? why the whole Ministration as written and engraven in stones being removed, the Seventh-day-sabbath must also be removed; for that the time, nor yet the day, was as to our holy Sabbath, or rest, moral; but imposed with that whole Ministration, as such, upon the Church, until the time of Reformation: Which time being come, this Ministration, as I said, as such, ceaseth; and the whole Law, as to the morality of it, is delivered into the hand of Christ, who imposes it now also; but not as a Law of Works, nor as that Ministration written and engraven in Stones, but as a Rule of life to those that have believed in him, 1 Cor. 9. 21.
