Thus then God brought him into the world, never by them to be hurried out of it again: For Christ being now raised from the dead, dies no more▪ death hath no more dominion over him.
Now, saith the Text, when he bringeth him thus into the world, he requireth that worship be done ⟨p. 73⟩unto HIM: When? that very day, and that by all the Angels of God. And if by ALL, then Ministers are not excluded; and if not Ministers▪ then not Churches. for what is said to the Angel, is said to the Church it self, Rev. 2. 1, 7. ch. 2. 8, 11. ch. 2. 12, 17. ch. 2. 18, 29. ch. 3. 1, 6. ch. 3. 7, 13. ch. 3. 14, and 22.
So then, if the Question be asked, when they must worship him: the Answer is, When he brought him into the world, which was on the first day of the week; for then he bringeth him again from the dead, and gave the whole World and the Government thereof into his holy hand. This Text therefore is of weight as to what we have now under consideration, to wit, that the First day of the Week, the day in which God brought his First-begotten into the world, should be the day of worshipping him by all the Angels of God.
