2. The first day of the week! That's the day in which, as I hinted before, our Lord was wont to preach to his Disciples after he rose from the dead; in which also he did use to show them his Hands and his Feet, (Luk. 24. 38, 39. Joh. 20. 25.) to the end they might be confirmed in the truth of his victory over Death and the Grave for them. The day in which he made himself known to them in breaking bread: The day in which he so plentifully poured out the Holy Ghost upon them: The day in ⟨p. 120⟩which the Church both at Jerusalem, and those of the Gentiles, did use to perform to God Divine Worship: all which has before been sufficiently proved. And shall we not imitate our Lord, nor the Church that was immediately acted by him in this, and the Churches their fellows? Shall, I say, the Lord Jesus do all this in his Church, and they together with him! Shall the Churches of the Gentiles also fall in with their Lord and with their Mother at Jerusalem herein! And again, shall all this be so punctually committed to sacred Story, with the day in which these things were done, under denomination, over and over, saying, These things were done on the first day, on the first day, on the first day of the week, while all other days are, as to name, buried, in everlasting oblivion! and shall we not take that notice thereof as to follow the Lord Jesus and the Churches herein? oh stupidity!
