Sixthly, 1My sixth Argument to prove that the first day of the week ought to be observed as a day of Rest and solemn Worship under the Gospel, shall be taken from that Appellation given to this day, Rev. 1. 10. where it is called the Lord's-day; I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day. Surely this Royal Name or Title adds no small honour to this illustrious Day: as it was the first day of Time mentioned in the beginning of the first Book of the Bible; so it is the last day of Fame noted in the beginning of the last Book of the Bible, to the Praise of him who is our Alpha and Omega. The very Name speaks the Lord Christ to be the Author of it,2 who upon the day of his Resurrection was declared both Lord and Christ. I find, saith my Author, an elegant and pious Poem written by Sedulius an Ancient Christian* Jerome's Junior, being by him translated to this effect: After sad Sabbaths th' happy Day did dawn, Whose lofty Name from Lord of Lords is drawn: A blessed Day, that first was graced to see Christ's rising, and the World's Nativity.
