I do not question but that Worship by the godly is performed to God every day of the week; yea, and every night too, and that time is appointed or allowed of God for the performance of such Worship. But this time is not fixed to the same moment or ho•• universally, but is left to the discretion of the Believers, as their frame of Spirit, or ⟨p. 50⟩Occasions, or Exigencies, or Temptations, or Duty shall require.

We meddle then only with that time that the Worship aforesaid is to be performed in; which time the Law of Nature as such supposes, but the God of Nature chooses. And this time as to the Churches of the Gentiles, we have proved is not that time which was assigned to the Jews, to wit, THAT Seventh day which was imposed upon them by the ministration of death; for, as we have showed already, that Ministration indeed is done away by a better and more glorious Ministration, the Ministration of the Spirit; which Ministration surely would be much more inferior than that which has now no glory, was it defective as to this. That is, if it imposed a Gospel-service, but appointed not time to perform that Worship in: or if notwithstanding all its commendation, it should be forced to borrow of a ⟨p. 59⟩Ministration inferior to it self; that, to wit, the time without which by no means its most solemn worship can be performed.
