Again (he saith) it was prophesied that the first day of the Week should be the Sabbath-day, i. e. the Lord's Day: 1In that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, which shall stand up for an Ensign to the People; and to him shall the Gentiles seek, and his Rest shall be glorious. Not only the Father's Rest shall be glorious, as when he had created the Heaven and Earth, and rested on the Seventh-day; but Christ's Rest shall be glorious: for all Divines agree that the Prophet speaks of the Rest of Christ from the Work of Redemption. As God the Father rested from his Work, and his Rest was glorious for four thousand years together; so Christ's Rest from his Work shall be glorious. Thus Mr. Fenner.
Object. Perhaps some will say, This only refers to the Gospel Spiritual Rest which we have by Christ, and not to a peculiar Day of Rest.
Answ. The Rest spoken of here may be meant of that; and from thence we have also a day of Rest allowed us: And by comparing this with Heb. 4. I can't see but it clearly has respect to this Day of Rest, the Lord's Day, because the Seventh-day is called the Father's Day of Rest; and the day of Christ's Resurrection is also Christ's Day of Rest, as we have proved.
