3 The Resurrection of Christ both giveth a ground for the sanctifying of our Christian Sabbath, and likewise showeth a reason for the changing of the day, For the work of Redemption wrought by Jesus Christ, being far more excellent than the work of Creation, did much more deserve a weekly memorial. That the work of Redemption was more excellent appears, In that it cost more to redeem the world of Gods Elect, than to create the whole world; for to create the world, it cost God but a word, as it were;¹ He but spake the word, and it was done. But to redeem the world of Gods Elect, it cost no less than the precious blood of the Son of God. So that this work hath swallowed up the former, as the ⟨p. 90⟩Temple did the Tabernacle. ²And we who live after Christs Resurrection, are as much bound to the celebration of the first day of the week, as they who lived before, to the last.
