Hence I argue, if the Sanctifying of a Sabbath as a piece of worship to God be Prophesied of to belong to the New-Testament, then are we bound to the Sanctification of a Sabbath as a necessary Duty; but the continuance of Sanctifying a Sabbath unto God, is specially Prophesied of, and foretold as a piece of worship under the New-Testament, Ergo, &c.

The third place is Matth. 24. v. 20. Pray that your flight be not in the Winter, neither on the Sabbath-day, where the Lord insinuateth, that as Travelling is troublesome to the Body in Winter; so would it be to the minds of the Godly (for he is now speaking to his Disciples alone) to Travel on that Day, specially and solemnly set apart for God's worship; now if there were no Sabbath to continue after Christs Ascension, or if it were not to be Sanctified, there would be no occasion of this grief and trouble, that they behoved to Travel on the Sabbath, and durst not tarry till that Day were by-past, and so no cause to put up this Prayer; which yet by our Lords Exhortation seemeth to infer that the Sabbath was to be as certain in its time as the Winter: And doubtless this cannot be meant of the Jewish-Sabbath. For 1 • That was to be abolished shortly. 2. Travelling on the Jewish-Sabbath was to be no cause of Grief unto them, if indeed all days were alike; neither would it be scrupled in such a case by the Apostles to whom he now speaketh. 3. Besides, if no Sabbath were to be, it had been better and clearer to say, Stand not, and griev not to Travel any day: but his words imply the just contrary, that there was to be a solemn Sabbath. 4. He mentioneth the Sabbath-day only, and not the other Festivals of the Jews which were to be kept holy also, and by this he distinguisheth the ordinary Sabbath from those other days, and opposeth it to many, as being now the only Holy day on which they should eschew, if possible, to Travel; and would therefore pray to have it prevented: for in the New-Testament the Sabbath spoken of as the solemn time for worship is ever meant of the Weekly Sabbath, and other Holy days are called the first or last day of the Feast, and therefore if the Lords meaning were that they should pray, that their flight might not be on any of the Jewish Holy days, to mention
