Dr. Owen saith,1 Pentecost was the first day of the week. When the Lord Christ intended conspicuously to build his Church upon his Work and Rest, by sending the Holy Ghost with his miraculous Gifts upon the Apostles, he did it on this day, which was then among the Jews the Feast of Pentecost, or of Week▪ Then were the Disciples gathered together with one accord in observance of the day signalized to them by his Resurrection, Acts 2. 1. And by this doth their Obedience receive a blessed Confirmation, as well as their Persons a glorious Endowment with Abilities for the Work they were immediately to apply themselves to. And hereon did they set out to the whole work of building the Church on that Foundation, and promoting the Worship ⟨p. 189⟩of it, which on that day was especially to be celebrated. Thus Dr. Owen.
