A. The solemn commemoration of our Redemption by the Resurrection of Christ from the dead, is the ground of translating the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the Week; Psal. 118.24. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice, and be glad in it. Mark 16.9. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Now when Iesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Q. 8. Is it the whole day, or only some hours of the day that are set apart for God?
A. Not a part, but the whole day is the Lords; and it is as dangerous to halve it with God in point of time, as it was for Ananias and Sapphira to halve their dedicated Goods, and bring in but a part. Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day, is the Command.
