It is needless to recite the words of all* those who hold that one in seven, not the precise last day of the seven, is perpetually to be observed, and that the old seventh Day is abolished: but I shall observe what Mr. Warren saith, viz. Thus I grant the time of Worship, a Sabbath it self, being an inseparable Adjunct of solemn Worship, is perpetual: but the old Day, the seventh from the Creation, was made mutable —and we have a Sabbath still, a literal Sabbath; but the old Sabbaths and old Sacrifices being Twins, tho both honourable and serviceable in their Generations, as they lived together and died together, let both together in God's Name be buried in the Grave of Christ, so as never to rise up again: but let our Gospel-worship and Gospel-Sabbath take life from our Saviour's Resurrection, which brought with it a new Creation, a new World, making all things new.
