(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.

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.
