I might to this (saith this Author) add the Testimony of Polycarp, 1who was also a Disciple of John, and collected and published these Epistles of Ignatius, and knew what St. John meant by the Lord's-day.
- 1Polycarp.
He proceeds to Justin Martyr,1 who saith, He was not converted to the Christian Religion till about the year 129. about thirty years after St. John's Death; yet he lived so soon after, that he could not be ignorant of the Christian Practice, and what they understood St. John to mean by the Lord's-day; and how that Day was observed. On that day commonly called Sunday, there is held a Congregation or general meeting together of all Inhabitants, whether of City or Country; and there are publicly read the Memorials or Monuments of the Apostles, or Writings of the Prophets.—Again, the day called Sunday we do all in common make the meeting-day, for that the first Day is it on which God from Darkness and Matter made the World, and our Saviour Christ did rise from the dead, &c.
