3. No other day can be substituted in place of the old Seventh day, reserving entire the morality of this command; therefore it must be this that is put in the place of that; for this command requireth, 1. one day of every Seven, allowing Six of every Seven to work, and that together: Now if the day had gone beyond the Sabbath ensuing, it had not been one day of Seven, if it had been the second, third, or fourth day, then the Six working days had not gone together. But now the First being appointed for God next to the Seventh, God hath his part or tribute called for, and then came Six working days together unto us of that same Week, and so still they run, God hath One, and we have Six of the same Week.
