This is the day on which, at first, it rained Manna all day long from Heaven upon the New Testament-Church, and so continues to do this day. Oh! the resurrection of Christ, which was on this day, and the riches that we receive thereby: Though it should be, and is, I hope, thought on every day; yet when the First of the week is fully come! Then To day! This day! This is the day to be warmed; this day he was begotten from the dead.

The thought of this, will do much with an honest mind: This is the day, I say, that the first Saints DID find, and that after-Saints DO find the blessings of God come down upon them; and therefore this is the day here commanded to be set apart for holy Duties.

And although what I have said may be but little set by of some; yet, for a closing word as to this, I do think, could but half so much be produced from the day Christ rose from the dead quite down, for the sanction of a Seventh-day-sabbath, in the Churches of the Gentiles, it would much sway with me. But the truth is, neither doth the Apostle Paul, nor any of his fellows, so much as once speak one word to the Churches that shows the least regard, as to conscience to God, of a Seventh-day-sabbath more. No, the first day, the first day, the first day, is now all the cry in the Churches by the Apostles, for the performing Church-worship in to God. Christ began it on THAT day: Then the Holy Ghost seconded it on THAT day: Then the Churches practised it on THAT day. And to conclude, the Apostle by the command now under consideration, continues the sanction of THAT day ⟨p. 104⟩to the Churches to the end of the world.
