Hence we may argue; If the Apostles and primitive Christians did observe the First day of the week, as their prime and chief time for solemn, public Worship, and did pass over the old Seventh day, then is the day changed from the Seventh to the First day of the week, but the first is cleared by the former Instances, Ergo, &c.

And if these meetings on that First day were not such as used to be formerly on the seventh day, I desire to know a reason, 1. Why their meetings on that day should be particularly recorded rather than their meetings on any other day; and then 2. Why the one is so oft mentioned, and the other never, to wit, that they met the second, third day, &c. of the week. Or 3. If their meeting on this First day now (after Christs Ascension) be not like his going to the Synagogue on the Seventh day-Sabbath, and doing such and such things on the Sabbath: that day being most frequently mentioned before, whereas now there is deep silence of that day, and the first day is reco •ded in its room, neither can the Scriptures speaking of the one, and silence in the other be for no purpose, or for any other purpose.
