Arg. 2. If the new World be a work as much for the glory of God, and as comfortable to men, when its begun and closed or finished by the work of Redemption, as the making of the old World was, then the day of rest of the new World is to be made to relate to that, much more, if the Redemption of the World be more for the glory of God, and for the comfort of men; then by the ground on which the seventh day was at first instituted, its also again to be changed, to wit, the memory of Gods great work; but both the former are true: Ergo, or thus, if the ground that made the seventh to be chosen for the Sabbath in the old World be changed in the new, and tha• ground agree better to another then to it; then it is to be changed: But the ground whereupon the old seventh day was preferred is now changed, & there are grounds to ⟨p. 157⟩prefer another day to it for the same ends; therefore it is meet the day be changed also: Or thus, f the perfecting of the work of Redemption, and the rest of the Mediator after it, be as much to be remembered as the work of Creation and Gods resting after it, then the day is to be changed, but so it is, Ergo.
