(2.) When 'tis said in the New Testament, that the Son of Man is Lord also, or even of the Sabbath-day; he shows that it was in his power to dispose of it, for he gives this as a reason for his doing that which the Pharisees counted Sabbath-breaking, and by which he oftentimes offended them. And so it is far from being a reason of his establishing it to abide a Sabbath in his Kingdom-state. And, as one well observes, it seems plainly to mean, that that being a positive Law belonging to Moses, our Lord had power to change it, or dispense with it, as well as other Positive and Mosaical Laws. As it is said,1 He hath made him Head over all things to the Church, not Head to all things: So he is Lord over all Days, but all are not separated to his Worship.

As it is said,1 Thou hast given him Power over all Flesh—So it may be said, thou hast given him Power over all Days, that he may sanctify one to his own peculiar service and use, and leave the rest common to us to work in.
