Thirdly, That the Lord Jesus himself put his Name upon this Day.
(1.) The giving or bestowing of God's Name on any time, thing, or person, is reciprocal with himself; therefore none but the Lord could put his Name upon this day: Who hath the disposing of the Lord's Name but himself?— Will you say the Apostles, or the Church might do it? What, without the Lord's Commission or Command? They would not, they durst not; God never entrusted any of them to bestow his Glory, or call his Name upon any thing, but only declaratively from himself.

(2.) All Power in Heaven and Earth was given to the Lord Christ, to settle his Church, and to appoint Ordinances, and to change Times according to the Father's Pleasure: therefore he only authoritatively could change the Sabbath, and put his Name upon this Day.
