Both David and Elijah were fain to fly on the Sabbath-day.1 Besides, some learned Men from this Passage argue for the Christian Sabbath, as 'tis not unknown to our Opponents, as Dr. Twiss, and many more; and that our Lord alludes to that Sabbath that he knew his Disciples ⟨p. 150⟩would observe after his Death: but I rather adhere to the former Exposition.

Obj. But the Women rested on the Sabbath-day, according to the Commandment, Luke 23. 56.
Answ. The Men themselves (I mean the Disciples) before our Lord suffered, were so ignorant that they knew not their Lord should die; and some a great while after did not know that they should preach to the Gentiles: and is it any wonder that these good Women should not know so soon that the Sabbath was abrogated? Some after that were zealous for Circumcision, &c. and is that an Argument that Circumcision is our Duty? Besides, no new day for solemn Worship was then appointed, nor till after our Lord rose from the dead.
