That God had ended all his works on the sixth, and rested the seventh; It was the first day after the Creation; so the first day of the Week is that day on which Christ rose (having perfected the work of Redemption, and obtained victory over death, under whose power some way for a time his body was before that) and was thereby manifestly declared to be the Son of God, to wit, by his Resurrection from the dead, Rom. 1. 4.
