For 1. If these two ages, before Christ, and after him, be looked on as diverse worlds, and if the Redemption by Christ at his coming be accounted the making of the one, as Gods Creation was of the other, then it's meet that when the world is renewed by Redemption, the Sabbath day should be changed for memory of that, as well as it was instituted at first for the memory of the former, there being the same reason for both: But they are looked on as two distinct worlds, and called so in the Plural number, Heb. 11.2. and this last world distinguished from the former, Heb. 2.5. and the redeeming of the one is looked upon as the making of the other, therefore from that day forth the day of rest is to be such as may relate to both, now the day being changed to the first, it remembereth us of Gods rest at the Creation by distinguishing Six days from the Seventh, and it remembereth us of the new Creation by putting Christs Resurrection in the room of the former.
