First, Consider, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Mediator, is the only Head, Sovereign Lord, and Lawgiver to his Church; and therefore it may seem strange, that the special Day or Time of Gospel-worship in his own Kingdom-state, should not be given forth by himself. But that Moses should have that Honour ascribed to him, and that we should commemorate the glorious Work of the New Creation, or Redemption on the old Day, which was partly appointed for remembrance of the Work of the first Creation,1 is very strange: for the Prophet tells us, that upon the creating of the new Heaven and the new Earth, the former shall be no more remembered; that is, (as I conceive) not in such a way of remembrance, i. e. by the observation of that former Day appointed in part on that very account. For certainly God's glorious Works of the first Creation shall otherwise be never forgot, and 'tis evident the Text refers to the Gospel day. Jerusalem Paul applies to the New Testament Church.
