Hence Peter saith to the Jews, when he treateth of Christ before them, and particularly of his Resurrection, This is the stone which [was] set at nought of you builders which [is] become the head of th• corner. He was set at nought b• them, the whole course of his Ministry unto his death, and was mad the head of the Corner by God that day he rose from the dead. This day therefore is the day that th• Lord Jehovah has made a day o• rejoicing to the Church of Christ and we will rejoice and be glad i• it.

For can it be imagined, that the Spirit by the Prophet should thus signalize this day for nothing; saying, This is the day which the Lord hath made, to no purpose? Yes, you may say, for the resurrection of his Son.
But I add, that that is not all, 'tis a day that the Lord has both made for that, and that we might rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoice, that is, before the Lord while solemn divine Worship is performed on it, by all the people that shall partake of the Redemption accomplished then.
