3. That the Seventh-day Sabbath of Rest was not a Type of our Eternal Rest in Heaven, but a Type or Shadow of that true Spiritual Rest we enter into under the New Covenant when we believe in Christ; and so this Rest is the Antitype of the Jewish Seventh-day Sabbath.

Moreover, God showed his People Israel by their Sabbath, how impossible it was for them, by the Covenant of Works, to enter into this Rest, where they should utterly cease from sin: it was a sign between God and them, that they should perform the whole Obedience due under the Covenant of Works, signified by that Obligation, that in six days they should labour and do all they had to do, and then rest, denoting that the whole Law must be kept, or no rest: the man that doth them shall live by them, or have Life, Rest, and Peace on that Condition. This, I say, did signify Man's working for Life before he could enter into Rest; for if they could do all they had to do, or God required of them, or answer all the Demands of the Law, then they should have Rest, Peace, and Justification thereby.
