1 By the title given to the first Day of the Week, namely, the Lords Day: for whatsoever in Holy Writ is said to be the Lords denominatively, so that Christ is the Author and institutor; as for instance, The Lords Supper, because he instituted it; The people of the Lord, because he chose them; the Lords Messengers, because he sends them. Upon the same ground the first day of the week is denominatively called the Lords Day, and that not by Creation, for so every day is his from the beginning, but by Divine institution, because it was instituted by Christ the Lord, for Divine Worship and Service,^{1 2}and for the memorial of the great work of Redemption wrought by him. Agreeable hereunto is that of Augustine, who saith, that the Apostles appointed the Lords Day to be kept with all religious solemnity, because in that day our Redeemer rose from the dead, and therefore is called the Lords Day.
