Ignatius, who lived in St. Johns time, saith, Let every one that loveth Christ keep holy the Lords Day, which is the Queen of days. ¹Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical history plainly shows how the Church and People of God in several ages after the Apostles times observed the first day of the week, as instituted by Christ, and ordained afterwards by the Apostles. I might spend much paper in showing how this day hath been observed in all ages, from the Apostles times to these days. Now the constant custom of the Church is not to be slighted. That expression of the Apostle,² If any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the Churches of God, showeth, that the custom of the Church is a matter to be regarded.
