4. No doubt the Apostle John, when he says on the Lord's-day, refers to a certain particular Day well known to all the Churches to whom he was to write, nay known to all Believers and Saints of that time.
5. And evident it is, that the Jewish Sabbath-day is no where, either in the Old or New Testament, 1called the Lord's Day, tho it is called the Lord's Sabbath, and the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. Lord in the Old Testament (as ⟨p. 236⟩one observes) is the usual name of God indefinitely, 2without particularizing this or that of the three Persons: And the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, doth not appropriate it to the second Person, more than to the first or third. And tho the second Person, or Christ considered as God, made the World, and gave the Ten Commandments, as well as he gave forth all the Ceremonial Law, the three Persons being the same one God; yet Christ is contradistinguished, i. e. referring to his Human Nature, or the Anointed of God, as Mediator or Godman: And [Greek or Hebrew], the Lord in the New Testament is commonly and peculiarly applied to our Lord Christ, as 1 Cor. 8. 6. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, &c. So Eph. 4. One Lord—one God and Father, &c. and to this Lord doth the Day here refer. I• the fourth Commandment, that which is called the Sabbath of the Lord thy God (speaking of Israel) is meant of God indefinitely, and not of one Person contradistinguished to the other Two.
