(2.) We ought to meditate on Jesus Christ ⟨p. 277⟩in a peculiar manner, as the special Author of that Ordinance in which we approach to him, and come together to celebrate. Consider his Rest: God takes up his Rest in Christ, his Satisfaction and Complacency in him, and in the Way and Covenant of Rest, for us through him; therefore this is a suitable Subject of Meditation on this day.

(3.) Let us meditate upon the Glory and Excellency of Christ's Person, and of his wonderful Love.
(4.) The Day it self, and its sacred Services, are to be meditated upon, and those Privileges we are partakers of. On this Day our Rest was perfected; for then Christ rose again for our Justification, and spoke Peace to his Disciples; and so he doth to us. On this day we were justified in Christ, accepted in Christ, pardoned in Christ, as in our Head and Representative on that very First-day he rose from the Dead. Therefore let Faith on this day be exercised, and let us labour for thankful Hearts, and rejoice with singing on this day which the Lord hath made to this end.
